I'll be surprised if reading ebooks on a Kindle prevents an "inactivity reboot" on an iPhone ...

Wait, I can guess at why ( somebody's probably still going to be alive in 8k more years), but is that really the reason? In case somebody's gonna care enough to read this comment on HN that long from now? And not realize that of

Oof. I don't do well with spiky blood sugar, so Mountain Dew is just out for me. I have tried the Miralax/Dulcolax route for prep, though, and it made my heart rate get all weird. I felt like I was going to pass out. Now I request

This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0789F4Z2M The $122 price is about what I paid for it. Dunno when they have ever actually sold it for $350.

It's at home. I already had an adjustable-height desk behind my sofa (unusual setup, but it works great in my space), but like I said, not that coordinated. I've only worked remotely since way before covid, so it works out for my

Yeah, they have to cover at least some generic ones. They don't have to cover every weird little specialty. Now that I'm in more of a maintenance mode, I'm working with one who's in-network and free. It just cost more th

Under $1,000, but just barely over $100: Semi-recumbent stationary bike that fits under my standing desk. I've never been coordinated enough to get the hang of walking on the treadmill and typing, but pedaling slowly all day I can do!

The saltiness goes away if you leave it long enough! I don't know why it takes so long to resolve, but it's really not bad at all this way. Still not something I'd order off a menu at a restaurant even if it didn't have

Even the screening rates in the U.S. would skyrocket. Who doesn't know someone who's put off a colonoscopy? They're really not that bad once you get the hang of them (even the prep), but most people don't do them often e

You can in Indianapolis. I guess I don't know how people determine "tiers," but Wikipedia tells me it's the 16th largest U.S. city.

My parents actually used this as a strategy when my sister and I were teens 20+ years ago. They casually offered that, as children of the '70s, there really weren't any drugs they hadn't tried, so if I was interested in any,

I think I would summarize it somewhat differently, that God is (as a constant state of being) willing to destroy the world with a flood whenever it is as it was in Noah's time (which criteria determine this are not necessarily known to

Being able to interact with changing things does not require changing if you're outside the things that change. For example, if you're outside of time (which, admittedly, is really hard to wrap our heads around), from Noah&#x27

But the universe can and does change. Something that is, in that most fundamental sense, does not also have potentiality. Anything that can change, that can be "other than it is," must have some potentiality un-actualized, must

I realized this about myself years ago, but I don't (think I) have ADHD. I have always been able to learn faster than most people. No clear reason why. It appears I was just born this way. But if the Pareto Principle holds, and I'

I think this is why Christians posit that the Creator actually entered into humanity, so we could understand--or at least be as much less wrong in our speculations as we can handle, small as we are. They even got as far as describing God

Setting aside the unnecessary snide commentary, if the image were made when Jesus was coming back from the dead, starting to move, potentially fitfully, as one would who hadn't moved for several days, would seem pretty normal to me.

I think it's pretty common (maybe even required?) not to know how a miracle was done. The whole point seems to be that it was not done by known means.

At least I know I'm on the right track. I've been doing all those things! Fortunately cross breeze often comes in off the river, which is cooler, and I'm far enough north that it doesn't break 100° more than once or twic

Can I hire you to figure out how to cool my space? It's only 625 sqft, and it's all one room except the bathroom, which accounts for the middle third of one side of the house (kitchen is on one side of it and bed area on the oth

Mine's only semi-recumbent, so I can ride it for hours. I think it was maybe $120 on Amazon. My knees only come up high enough for my thighs to be parallel to the ground, so I can keep the keyboard position nice and low for typing. I&#

It might be one thing if I had done it on purpose, because I was thinking about camera eyelines. But it wasn't deliberate. I subconsciously choose based on how another person will see me, because I don't really expect to get a who

Somehow I've apparently made a different adjustment to this than most people. My therapist was commenting on it the other day, how I do look directly into the camera when I want her to see me as making "eye contact," rather t

I'm not going to go through the list individually, but I can't use a mouse for ergonomic reasons (literally have bones where I shouldn't, so these are fairly unique ergonomic problems), and my laptop already doesn't vent

The other thing that keeps me nice and warm is the stationary bike under my standing desk. I never managed the coordination to walk at my desk, but sitting and riding is easy.

I'm also wondering about the potential for hyper-localized heating. Like, could I have a family picture printed 8"x10" and place one on my desk? Could I then stay comfortable in a much colder office? I'm only ever in one

I love my '07. Juuuust old enough that smartphones had barely been invented, so nobody expected the car to be able to connect to the internet.

If? I thought they took off more than a decade ago and pretty much all cars made since the advent of 4G have been collecting and sharing your data with virtually everyone who will buy it.
