brational

Having gone through this too, I also had to accept that a lot (not all!) of it was in my head and made worse by it. When I convinced myself that “this will pass” and “this slow steady plan will get me out of this eventually” was when I finally saw regular progress (progress, not immediate relief).

> which requires constant, continuous resource extraction

Is there an upper bound on battery limits with regards to resource extraction?

ha.. I was about to type this exact paragraph. my instagram has no human connections, I only follow local business (food, bars, museums/gardens, non profits, etc) so I can be aware of specials & things. I have no followers. I don't really like anything but clearly engage with cooking stuff, funny animal videos, comedy in general. Multiple languages. lots of crossover.

Honestly it's a pretty great instagram experience.

And yes I'm a middle aged male so no matter what the smut comes back (at least I get it in multiple languages too?)

When you have over extended responsibilities you have to readjust expectations. Some adults never learn how to do that and feel miserable all the time.

Right. Which makes it even more absurd that a Brazilian would make a singular classification to the whole lot.

They don't care - you can see it clearly in the person you're responding to that they're just thinking about their own personal wants. It's pure selfishness.

> Furthermore, drinking weekly seems better than monthly.

Would seem to potentially imply more routine social activity / community.

I agree with the above poster that it’s a better use of 10-15 minutes. But not native shows/tv. Most languages have all sorts of content targeted at learners, sometimes even broken out by level. The Dreaming Spanish YouTube channel is an example.

But the challenge is you end up spending those 10-15 minutes researching content to use for practice! (I’m exaggerating of course, as once you find a few that’s usually hours and hours of material).

The technique here is called “comprehensible input”.

Totally depends on country.

Right but I (and I assume others) wouldn’t trade 100-200k usd per year for 5-10 more days.

Not to mention most in that environment have plenty of flexible work arrangements as well.

I also CAN take unpaid extra days and most years do, in essence doing that trade for a better price (~1k per day), but I recognize it’s not that common in the US.

Their Spanish-English is significantly more idiomatic than google but as others have said - far fewer languages supported. But I suspect deepl will continue to be better than google as they grow.

That's false - Signal has had sealed sender on by default since 2018. (the setting you can turn on is just to see an icon in the ui).

> So, I replaced Messages with another SMS app that doesn't spy on me and disabled RCS.

I think you know this based on the rest of your post but there is no “another SMS app that doesn’t spy on me”.

And totally readable and accessible by any third party

Whatever they prefer. Whatsapp, imessage, or regular sms (when it makes sense). Or slack honestly. I have friends and family all over the world I only push for Signal where necessary and I want it to be good for that.

This one app nonsense is asinine. You’ll never get global adoption of one thing.

Given the bizarre backlash here from people that think sms comms are ok I reckon I’ll start a monthly contribution.

Rolled their own and off by default.

That’s sort of the problem though. The sms was/is never secure.

So 12-15 mins + 10 laying down. Twice. ~ 40 mins or so per day you’re taking to sit/lay and do nothing (I assume you aren’t on the phone or reading/listening).

I wonder how much of this is simply the meditation effect / you’re just taking true mental breaks.

Meh. How old are your kids? Mine climbs all over, on top, around, etc the playgrounds. The default parts are safe sure but he prefers to go on top of the whole thing then slide down the support arm. They’ll figure it out.

Maybe your doctor further explained this but PACs are extremely common and not considered out of ordinary. Not sure if you were implying that the first doc missed it or not.

i was just thinking how it always annoyed me that my garmin smartwatch doesnt have an off switch but that’s good context. though quartz doesnt have gps sensors..

op means lingering effects. very normal with pneumonia.

difference here is a lot of people with mild covid (no pneumonia) are getting lingering neurological or cardiac issues (or both)

article itself mentions issue of hoarding glucose instead of using it. elevated HR via exercise basically forces glucose to be used so. not surprising at all.

ive seen those referenced more as the modern internet version of “the bar”. you pop in, engage in the current conversation in your desired channel, then good luck finding much in history.

yea that’s a good point. make a pull request!

though for me just wanting a rough idea of what’s rolling in vs what’s needed it’s sufficient enough.

probably dont have access to individual vote data?
