I have two potato peelers. If the one I like better is in the dishwasher I am not peeling potatoes. If one of my children wants to join me when I'm already peeling potatoes, I'll give them the preferred one and use the other one m

Yes. I am 42 and feel and am fitter than at any other point in my life (I started taking care of myself in my 30s). The joint pain is the only thing that makes me feel old right now. And I don't think there's much I can do about i

Aging is part of a natural process we are already able to slow down significantly. Calling it a disease just muddies the semantic space of pathology in my opinion. Everybody understands already that slowing down or stopping the aging proces

Agreed. But the pessimist in me fears that some people might fall back to that much too soon instead of adopting healthier lifestyles.

I've never thought of this usecase and I think it's fantastic.

Your mom's boyfriend probably already knows this, but just in case: I once suffered from loose crystals in my inner ear (probably due to stress and burnout) and had such bad vertigo that I thought I was going to die. There are exercise

This is a useless definition, especially in this context. Washing my dishes is not work, because it's ultimately irrelevant whether I do it or not, although I'm doing it still because I have a result in mind. It also comes across

Between Windows, Linux, and macOS, I’ve probably been the most productive on Windows, even though it’s the least enjoyable for me and I wish I could use Linux exclusively for my work. Linux, on the other hand, has been the least productive.

I'm not entirely convinced about that. We'll see when a more generalized desktop distro comes along and gains traction with gamers. So far, Linux hasn't really made the jump from the Steam Deck to the desktop. I haven't

I recently used Bandlab when I was at my girlfriend's and the only thing I had with me was my company's laptop, which I don't install any audio software on. I wrote and recorded a little song and published it withing three ho

Thanks for mentioning Claudette Colvin.

I loved reading this! Not just because some of those games are deeply ingrained in my childhood, but also because the writing itself is exceptional. The structure is strong, there’s no fluff, and it’s still vivid and playful. I loved it. I

Yes, wireless even. Pretty nifty.

That's great! I was looking for something like this when my oldest was around three. He's ten now, my youngest is three. I might build this with my children together.

Ah! I salvaged one of those from the local waste collection center and it was an easy fix to make it work again! I had a Questron pen as a child and loved it, also made by Ravensburger.

I am a father of three small ones in Austria. The Tonies are cute, but I find them just so frivolously expensive! My children loved to listen on audio books on CDs (can be rented from libraries or bought for cheap) or on an old 1st gen iPod

You're right, it's not revolutionary at all. But I'm glad you liked my summary!

I didn’t advocate for "scaling" care work in any way. The point is that care work needs adequate support and funding—not efficiency measures to turn it into a production line. Right now, schools and childcare services are chronica

That's what I thought. In recent weeks, most of the code I’ve written has been AI-generated. But it was mostly JSDoc comments, type checking (I'm writing JavaScript), abstracting code if I see that I'm repeating myself a litt

You’re describing the extremes on a spectrum, but you only go to one of the extremes, which exposes your bias. And it’s a false dichotomy to begin with, since shifting more care work towards society doesn’t equate to a path toward totalitar

It took me four tries to solve it.

I believe the original author referred to the importance of intentionally focusing on something that isn't stimulating enough to create a sense of flow. It requires mindful effort to truly pay attention. In essence, it's about bei

Anyone who has ever tried to fine-tune medication for psychological issues knows how challenging it can be to get the dosages and combinations just right. In my experience, even medications within the same class can have different effects o

I don't know what your comment has to do with my comment.

That's exactly what I try to do. I think it's an unpopular opinion though, because there are no strict rules that can be applied, unlike with pure ideologies. You have to go by feel and make continuous adjustments, and there'

I was thinking of watching TV shows, where I don't want those things. But you're right, when watching e.g. educational videos, having more room for controls and subs is nice.

What's your beef with 16:10? I prefer it over 16:9 unless I want to watch 16:9 video most of the time.

No, advocating for a 30-hour workweek isn't just about not enjoying one's job. It's about people who feel they don't have enough time left for things that are important to them but don't provide financial compensati

You mean in percent? Decrease? Increase?
