Anything that doesn't try to cushion feelings feels problematic in this age. I think we need to go back to the stoics, and forget about all this touchy-feely that being all soft is ok. Sometimes it's not ok. When did self-discipli

Did you include exercise in your day? I mean, I'm assuming you have a well rounded routine, which may not be so. If you lack exercise, sunlight, or proper nutrition, lack of focus is the last of your problems to solve and more of an ob

Motivation is s**. It won't last. Discipline is what you want. And you can build that no matter what. Just start small and go from there. [0] [0] https://i.pinimg.com/originals/55/34/a9/5534a9d2ac48a6

If that policy is applied to the US, you'll see a LOT less satellites in the sky. After a certain amount of km, it's all good. Same as international waters.

This looks really good, though the Software Engineering course part seems a bit lacking. I think there should be a more comprehensive one on patterns and software design.

What if an asteroid falls on your head right now? Better go live in an underground bunker, you can't run that risk! Just implying that a threat involves not only the real damage it might cause, but also what's the likelihood it&#x

Unless you have evidence of those calculations (which should be public of course, right? I mean, it's government spending after all) I'd say they haven't, and they have just been pouring money into a fire pit because it won t

It's not silly if all there's to argue from the other point of view is photons per square meter. Weather also plays a role. I don't mean to say I have the absolute truth, I want to see if they've even considered sun avai

"Fossil Future" is an interesting book on this topic that argues we need to use more fossil fuels instead of less. And it makes me kind of agree with the author, since I learnt that solar and wind only makes sense to use where it

As I replied to another person: we're talking about nutrition and prostate cancer. Not about unmeasurable stuff like relationships.

I don't care for robots if we're not there to experience the universe. They're just a byproduct, a piece of trash we'll leave after we're gone. I want us to explore, not our toasters.
