I use a physical alarm clock, but what distracts me is I have to pick up my phone multiple times a day for stupid MFA prompts. It's so easy to have a quick check of an app.

I also unhooked from Reddit when the API changes killed the 3rd party apps. Was a helpful motivator. Only use it now when it comes up while searching.

The American companies that get talked about most here are mainly software companies. The "supply chain" for software is far less interesting and easily hidden away. Who cares about a litany of Indian outsourcing companies (apart

I doubt a study would be helpful for anyone else, except that he had a good read on when his chances of winning were best back before 2016. Aside from that his popularity -- and ability to lie shamelessly and have enough people ignore it an

I dropped my Switch from knee height, and now the left hand joycon is slightly loose and disconnects from too much upward pressure. Maybe the damage is on the joycon, but it seems more likely the mechanism (don't have a spare to test).

Maybe this soundbite applies in an information vacuum like North Korea or ironically, and to a lesser extent, China. But in an environment where there is too much information for people to process, and truth is drowned out by lies and nonse
