Another popular one is "forest bathing", being mindful and present in the moment while walking in a forest. Tai chi is quite an involved skill and is based on qigong, which I found…

Also worth mentioning the game Haven that Danger did the soundtrack for, one of the few game soundtracks that are great independent of the game as well: https://haven-game.bandcamp…

15 minutes is just not very long at all when cold brewing even at room temperature. And this was refrigerated (4C) so I'm sure the flavor would be minimal. You would normally cold …

It is not hard for anyone to find things they can't afford so it can easily feel that way. So it is helpful to consider the reality in more depth when reaching for that as an excus…

A quick look at your comments history suggests you are in the US. Of course individual circumstances can vary but overall looking at median disposable income adjusted for purchasin…

I have severe sleep issues and have tried a bunch of sleep related supplements and medications. Although I do not have a dietary deficiency Magnesium might be the single most effec…

What I've found to fix leg cramping is skin rolling my legs (ideally every 6 months but takes maybe a couple of years to fully undo the effect). Lightly pinch some skin between you…

Eh, the real genius of Windows 11 that Linux lags behind is the seriously first rate emoji picker :).

That isn't what I ment, I should have said that the person who runs pkgsrc-wip helps submitters get the package correct (which can be more challenging than PKGBUILD since it is a m…

It seems like the current situation means that processes need to change in a major way somewhere (maybe everywhere) but this report (and the letter) seem to be focused on doing as …

Interesting article, although it does raise a few questions for me. I can see handwriting being uniquely important when learning to read but beyond that it would seem to just be su…

Vatican II started a major and ongoing reconciliation process leading to things like the "Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification" (1999, quietly resolving the core issu…

Mullvad in particular has a page that lists the ISPs they use (in a few cases their own servers at a datacenter), although they don't list the datacenters (sometimes you can get th…

Also eGPU. I have a tiny NUC-size system with decent internal GPU and a (physically much larger) game system with a slower CPU that idles at only a bit under twice the maximum powe…

I have multiple severe sleep disorders including non-24 and insomnia so it is hard to tell how my experiences match most people but hopefully this might help some. My sense is that…

All of that and only as an aside mentioning the best search engine for quality information: Google Scholar. Academics publish stuff about just about everything which is often open …

Thanks, very interesting article! Also these two linked from that one: National emergencies: Chadha wasn't the problem https://prototypingpolitics.substack.com/p/national-emergenc.…
