No clue mate. I haven't given this business idea enough thought to be honest.

In android there is a "do not disturb" option that silences everything but calls (you can drill it down further to starred contacts or none at all) and sms messages (also drillable), I always have this on.

I turn off read receipts where I can, allowing me greater control of when I respond and I also silence group chats and people who are bothersome indefinitely. If they are important enough I will find time to answer them, regardless of how "noisy" or "noiseless" they are. If it's urgent, they can call.

You can install a pihole server at your home that will block advertisers through DNS, allowing you to use even free apps without ads. (I haven't done this yet since I moved recently).

As for emails, I imagine you can have a single email address on your phone for important emails and configure email forwarding rules from your default email, I haven't tried this though.

Seriously been considering doing this for food.

Safely dispose of them. Neither would be safe to consume, but would help clean up the environment a great deal. The (not-thoroughly considered) business model would be to restore land enough to make it usable again for crops or livestock. This might be more difficult to do for heavy metals than petroleum.

Mycology, more specifically work on strains of edible mushrooms to clean up the environment. Paul Stamets has shown that certain variations of P. Ostreatus can be used for cleaning up oil spills and that certain fungi concentrates heavy metals, indicating it could be used to clean up said metals.

Unfortunately he's patented a lot of his research[1] and I don't really know my way around patent law enough to risk finding out if a company dedicated to applying these technologies could get me sued.

I like using HTML5 content blocker. Works for reducing bandwidth (blocking images, objects and media) or for this type of b/s.

What part of south america are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I'm living in south america and I'm worried about the lack of safety drug cartels cause, making me travel less often than I'd like.

Doesn't Simone Giertz do this? Maybe you should look into her.

Thanks for pointing this out! I've been only doing strength training for the last year and been wondering why I haven't felt as sharp as when I ran somewhat regularly.

This just in, your brain is actually part of your body! Taking care of it might make you think better, stay tuned folks!

In all seriousness, if anybody here has a beer or glass of wine before you go to sleep, cut it out for a week or two. You'll notice a HUGE improvement in sleep quality.

I'm getting a page not found. Did it die?

The world wide shipping makes the prices worth what you're getting, but it doesn't change the fact that my currency isn't that great.

What I've seen in some e-commerce shops is that they automatically change the currency based on the customer's location and have a small option on the bottom or top right of the site displaying available currencies. For your site a dropdown menu/box for the currency to the right of the price might be best.

I know what some of those words mean...

t looks neat, but it doesn't tell you how far away you should place it or how big to make it. Am I misssing something?

It sounds really worth it if I earned USD. Unfortunately I live in a place with a weaker currency and a strong immigrant population. I'll definitely subscribe once I try the teas they have around :)

It's because they don't. Two things I've found in less than a year of working in the security industry is that people only care if things work, not if they work well and, that they either believe security can be delegated or that they will never be attacked because they're special in some way.

TLDR: People thought foragers had it better because they spent less time collecting food than working (2.4 days), but the study this figure is based on forgot to include processing time, which yields about 6-7 eight hour days.

I really like martial arts, specifically jiujistu, for this fact. If you find the right group it's almost like finding a family.

A little birdy told me you can see tweets chronologically in lists. I've yet to try it out though.

Roidrage, here I come!

A faraday bag might be a decent solution, they're expensive to buy, but cheap to DIY.

Well this is vague...

"Keep cellphones away form body, but we won't tell you how far away or what the consequences might be"

"Science says getting hit with a stick hurts, stay tuned folks!"

F*ck, all those years down the drain!

While owned by the same company I don't think it traps you in the same way. Whenever I log into facebook it turns into a 10 to 15 minute thing that could have been one or two. I avoid that thing as much as possible, but that's not really a problem with whatsapp.

I do dislike the "status" feature they put in though...

I think he's talking about the party models...

It'll do you a lot of Gouda.

Read the article that describes his technique.

I get the feeling you didn't read the article rememberinglenny posted about his techniques, or maybe you haven't painted or drawn before.

While he does transfer styles from one domain to another digitally, it doesn't end there. He uses the generated images as a basis for physical paintings. For this to be possible a degree of skill is necessary. For example, try drawing yourself using a mirror and your output will be greatly different despite having a perfect model in front of you.

I don't agree with your last paragraph. That's like saying that because C is a very well documented language, programs made with it are trivial. What we do with the tools we have and the experience gained by practice is what makes something "magical", as well as the message it conveys. This last element, the transmission of the message, is highly dependent on the individual who experiences art. Which means that no piece of art is for everybody.

Finally, I agree with what brudgers said: > Saying "I could have made that" is false in the context of art. If a person could have they would have. If they didn't, they can't. The proof is in the work.

> Now that the human race is stable, we don’t need so many babies and as a result women don’t crave sex the way we once did.

What the actual f--k? Do people really think women work like this? How would a womans libido magically adjust to a civilization's "stability"?
