Not pop psychology. I read his book Deep Work; it was well researched (and good). Also, he's a comp sci professor @ Georgetown and has an excellent podcast.

It might be the age of the kids; it's tough to snap older kids out of their disinterest in their parents, but vacations add leverage. I don't have experience with older kids, but I was told this recently by some parents.

Ah my beloved Zaurus 5500 with the camera card. I still have many grainy photos I took with it. The slide out keyboard was fantastic, and like all devices, it too ran Doom.

It's unfortunate that the indie web etc. isnt very useful for most commercial pursuits at this time. I hope that changes. I love the indie web for what it is, for personal use.

Fabbing our own chips is a no-brainer for maximum certainty around function, security, supply, etc. Agree with working together but many leaders don't see it that way, so it's best to remain realistic and be prepared for bad scena

The bitterness of current and former employees, alums, and many people around the state, does not detract from several excellent points made by the piece. To read it and wholly dismiss it is questionnable (especially with a birthrate commen

I use Carlson also; from everything I've read, that is the best. I eat fatty fish a few times a week too, but I saw no harm in adding a little extra oil.

I experienced the same, although my gluten-induced inflammation is linked to something with my gut bacteria. If I take a certain antibiotic that targets the digestive tract, I can eat anything for 9 months, including gluten, without problem

I have this model, and I thought the refill comment was funny too. She's carrying it with the opening pointed down, cap screwed on, but the cap must be leaking. My cap doesn't leak, but I carry mine with the opening up.... so it

Wow interesting idea. I am probably way behind you on the thought process, but my first thought is: I wonder if you are just shifting the meta game and adding an extra step for those wishing to push malware etc. They would need to become l
