Well, not your fault, most of the resources out there are just made to make a buck, or a click, it's pretty much hopeless nowadays. What I do usually is I try to find used books, t…

Thinkpad E560 owner here, bought it a couple of years ago for less than $500 on newegg, installed ubuntu on it and that's it. Dropped it a few times, and work like 8-10 hours a day…

Pain is also linked to fear, so more mindfulness, less fear and less pain. Some people, while physically training can inflict extreme pains on their bodies, but without any fear wh…

"The game is hard so I cheated!" Do you think it's a good way to start a business relationship?

Religion/spirituality is a great asset, especially as we get older.
