I used to practice yoga and meditation with a goal of transcending my own ego. I largely stopped because it felt like I was forcing it, and I felt that particular kind of self-discipline wasn't the right way for me. This study (if it h

Manually record the seed key when you set up 2FA (usually this is contained in a QR code). Keep it somewhere safe and offline. It can be used to recreate your 2FA setup.

Yes, these are terrible interfaces for humans, but they are excellent interfaces for machines . Well, to be fair, they are tricky interfaces to program to, but the potential in terms of fast and efficient resource allocation in a world whe

> You feel weird socially because you weren't wired to interact in the modern way (fast, tenuous, no strings). I feel a lot of the issues in our society boil down to this. Logically we should feel more secure in a modern economy bec

From the anecdotes I've seen, it's like anything else -- helps some people, and others not so much. I've never seen a reported recovery simply from following a keto diet, or any other diet for that matter. My several attempts
