How expensive is rent out that way? I remember looking into it a few years back and found it was more expensive than living in the city, considering I would have had to buy a car.

It rings true for me as well, but there's still a floor on it. I like a quieter environment than most extroverts, but there is no such thing as an absolutely silent environment (no…

I have no idea why this comment was downvoted. This is solid advice.

Depression/Lack of Interest is at least giving HN a run for its money. Besides, not everybody who spends time on HN will think it's their biggest productivity killer. Definitely A …

I don't buy it. After all, if he's never done anything outside the realm of acceptable political beliefs, then nobody has anything to lose by going into his politics. And if he has…

Instead of keeping squishy balls at my desk, I have something that resembles Thor's hammer, except it's weighted. I play with it idly during the day[0], which helps strengthen my g…

I'm merely dispelling the "common sense" myth that caffeine has a built in limiter, thus making it "safe" without any conscious effort on your part. It doesn't and it isn't. In a h…

Ah, thank you! Poor sound isolation is one of the biggest reasons I don't live in a city at present.

Over time, you need to drink more and more to get to that sweet spot. Most people do self limit, but not because of that.

That's because it is a medical condition - haemorrhoids. Googling "piles" is not a pretty thing...

Here's an odd question: how's the soundproofing in your apartment? Can you hear lots of street noise even with all the windows closed?

Read the site. He suggests water temperatures that aren't cold enough to make you shiver. In fact, if you're shivering, you're way past the 80/20 point. This isn't woo woo crazy sh…
