We are currently in a world where it is very difficult to find interest rates >2%. I found a tezos staking pool at approximately 5% recently.
The S&P500 with dividends reinvested has averaged a real (post-inflation) return of 7% annually over the last 100 years or so. It's currently up 24% YTD.
Self-hypnosis. You can learn the basics in less than an hour and it can be an amplifier for most other things.

I don't want to sound ridiculous, but I've gotten the same benefits that you seem to describe (I have never tried mindfulness) since I started to smoke weed.
>since I started to smoke weed. There are some similarities in the effect, yes. But the problems with weed is it's effect is temporary and it messes up your awareness. Also you can not do in in many public places. Should I mention that certain types of meditation make you even more intoxicated? :)

I am pretty sure that only applies to certain people. I stay fairly skinny no matter what, though I do move about a lot.
How old are you? My father was thin until he turned 27. He was never huge, but at 27 he was 170lbs (6'2") and at his peak, around age 65, he was a little over 200. He warned me about that. At 27, I was also 170 lbs (6'2") (I am nearly a clone of my dad), and then slowly gained weight. I briefly ballooned to 215 around age 31, but hammered that back down to 185, but since then it has slowly climbed to 200 (at age 60).…
Fast-forward 20-ish years, and I’m still just as tall but I don’t have any problem finding pants that fit me. Sigh.

That’s only if you need almost no risk. The whole US stock market is definitely risky (it could go down fifty percent or more in a year), but it has averaged significantly over 2%, even after inflation, even in the last few years.

Why not wash them?
Eggs have a protective coat. Washing them makes them permeable and subject to taking in bacteria.
People think touch typing takes a long time to learn, and getting good does take a while, but it only takes about an hour to memorize the alphanumerics and which finger types what well enough to break the hunt and peck looking at the keyboard cycle forever. Once the cycle is broken just typing casually is enough to eventually achieve mastery. It's only that one or two hours that really suck, and then that week or so…
I really need to do this. At one point I got pretty far on https://www.typingclub.com/ , but slid back to hunt-and-peck as soon as I stopped it. I'm learning Vim now (which has a similar effect where you get immediately much slower before you get faster), and one of the guides I was reading said not to waste your time with Vim before you can touch type. That said, Vim is easier because as soon as you understand how t…
