Same, I'm using Firefox and unlock and didn't get this message either. Btw it reads even better in reading mode. Can you imagine needing a mode for reading for stuff that's actually meant to be read?

100% agreed. I have different expectations from an Indian friend vs an American/Canadian friend. That said I make friends very easily and there's certainly a lot of culture sharing going on, which I really enjoy. For instance some

I had similar experience where my heart stopped beating and went into complete darkness, apparently it was a reaction to something they were doing a tissue sample. Nonetheless the experience was very similar but I was only 14 then, so I did

I vary my style. I don't really prefer guided meditations because then it is one more thing I need to rely on. That said, what works for me is : I have been a gym rat for many years now, I never skip my gym and I am there 6 days a week

I have white coat hypertension and probably also some borderline hypertension, and my readings are off the chart (or used to be). I really hated the first doctor who diagnosed it, he straightaway gave me prescription (don't get me star

I don't think it's depressing. It is the reality of life. It is a constant reminder that you must enjoy life today and don't wait for that perfect day. I find it anti depressing because it motivates me to do more today.

Windy is my favourite app. I love to watch the movement of the clouds and rain/snow patterns. It is so much better than anything else out there. I really hope it stays true to its roots and not become crappy like other weather apps hav

I use wool socks year round, even during summer for hiking or general purpose except at the gym. They are excellent for rains too.

Another outlier here too. I find that fairemail app on android is absolutely the best when it comes to things like ensuring no external links are auto loaded, and email is rendered as pure text with minimal markup.
