Learning about my own mind and how to tame it. I've started realizing that I don't have much control over the external world, people or events, and only my perception of it can keep me sane or fix my mental issues. This has effectively forced me to see my relationship with my devices with more scrutiny. I've repeatedly found that digital consumption, whether it is infotainment, knowledge, or mindless Reels or Shorts,…

Learning about the mind and controlling it better has been a recent passion of mine as well. Like you, I’ve noticed a direct connection between media consumption and quality of life. Namely, if I get a dopamine release with minimal to no effort, my day is pretty much shot as I have little motivation to do anything I want to do. This has led me to delete all social media, completely. I wiped all my accounts and walked…

You seem to act like you're the only one here who has been following this for a long time... But that's far from the case on this particular forum. I didn't say anything about Bitcoin. But yes, all those yield farming schemes that are paying double digit "risk-free interest" will eventually crash out and leave some set of people in the red. It has happened over and over again, it's just that new tokens get set up and…

It's impossible for smart contracts that are properly coded to enable anyone to pull the funds out. Nothing is 100% guaranteed but protocols like Uniswap have been around for years, their contracts have had many professional audits, and the reward for breaking them is billions of dollars, so the odds of a bug in an Uniswap pool is very low. Other protocols pay incentives to LP the Uniswap pools. Where you expect the…

Thanks, that's very kind of you but unfortunately I live in the Netherlands haha. I'll almost certainly post my speakers when I make them, though probably on diyaudio or reddit. Re build logs, I have seen quite a few on diyaudio.com as well as reddit's r/diyaudio and r/diysound (which I frequent much more often). Are you more curious/interested in the enclosure hardware (woodworking) side or the driver selection and…

I'm in Fort Collins, I'll be right over! :-)

your site flashes and loads content for like 10 seconds for me. the content just keeps moving up and down...

Is it possible you have first party cookies disabled? On your first visit we need to run some JS (apparently the only way to get the user timezone). We store that in your session and then redirect you so we can show availability in your timezone. If first party cookies are disabled then there will be no session and the page will loop. (Open to suggestions on better TZ handling - other than rewriting as an SPA :)
