Normally at my desk in an office chair. Most of the time in a upright position. But since your arms and hands are free (bookrest with clamps for the pages) you can choose quite freely how to sit.

I do read a lot as well. One of my favorite purchases is also reading-related. It's the 'professional bookrest' - just a simple bookrest from wood. Could be every other really, but the bookrest has improved my reading experie

I don't know. The problem with the (any, for that matter) pandemic is, that we only have limited capabilities in the health service. If we all get sick at the same time, the system collapses and there will be drama and tragedy to an ex

Please re-read what I wrote. I said I remember it from this book. Not that he came up with it, nor that he wrote the book, nor that I am contend with the quote, nor that I like it. Neither in one direction nor in the other. I hoped this was

Probably yes, but I remember it from the book I mentioned. That's all I wanted to share.

That reminds me of a quote from Trumps 'the art of the deal', that goes something like: the receipt for success is under-promise and over-deliver.

I don't want to defend the comment you replied to, but there is obviously some nuance to the topic. Your comment makes it look like you're jumping right on the opposite side and have been rolling dice for 24 years. There is obviou

Following thought comes to my mind: Long and recurring discussions come up on complex (among others) topics. A long and recurring discussion on those topics only arises if more than one party is involved and everybody involved can contribut

I'm not cynical, but I kind of gave up on people who don't behave on the internet or are blatantly stupid. Sometimes this feels like I gave up on the internet as a whole, but I try to accept that it won't change anything whet

I don't know what motivates me and I find that strange. It's something I think about a lot. How do people know what they want? I can come up with (and I do that) a dense net of interests I somewhat have and how they would intercon

I agree with what you said, but I was wondering about a little detail you mentioned: > The average person visits thousands of websites every year. Is this true? Is there any data that would back this? A commonly used argument comes to my

sounds like a very healthy approach. I observed that the urge to buy new stuff is often just an excuse to not start, because the needed requirements are not set - which is often simply not true. I struggle with that a lot and it was one of

Basically it’s all in the title. Nevertheless here’re some thoughts in advance. There are things constantly on our mind that we think we need or things we wish we had. This may be something to boost productivity, get in shape, that makes us

6 days ago we had a more or less same thread on HN. I'll link it down below. It has about 330 comments, so I'd assume you'll find your answer there ;) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29363897

I mean, it's trivial to say, but big platforms have lots of users and that results in larger exposure which you're dependent on as an artist (given you haven't made it yet). All you really can do is accept the game but play b

The internet itself is the biggest social network. To participate, make a own website. But that's only to make your work available to others, I understand that. Getting people to actually stumble across your work is the hard part here.

With the same attitude like any other drug, I guess. It's very likely less harmful than other drugs. If you're mindful about it and you really want to try it, then ...

They do. If you don't have a diagnose, be careful with it. You want to be able to execute challenging mental tasks without it. You will still be able to do that after trying such medication, but you will always know, there would be a e

I don't understand what you get downvoted for. People in your replies are proving your point. Crypto is for rich people and the .01% who send money over borders regularly. Crypto IS a joke.

On the other hand, being introverted has also some side effects or personality traits that often come with it. Anxiety and having trouble with confidence being two of them. Online communication leaves so much more space for speculation on h

It was not meant ill-willed. I was just wondering. Regarding what you said, I think I understand what your point is. On the other hand it makes some difference among whose people you ask - some things are much likelier to be common sense (o

The other comments already explained it, but I'm wondering how you haven't come across this 'saying' before. It's so overused and also cheesy in my opinion.

My natural reaction to head lines like this: a lot has been said in the past and by chance a few are right. After reading the article this seems to be more than just a claim but backed with some substance and that's interesting.

I'd recommend stop using nazi analogies for the most part. Other than that, you need internet for your transactions. Guess who has the power to control the grid? Crypto does not make you independent in absolut terms. There might always

I have not looked into your account to see what you say and do, but generally speaking, there needs to be something that people (especially those who have the power to help you) take you (and your idea) seriously. Because as of right now, y

2b2t is a fascinating place. I always thought, this is the way Minecraft is meant to be played. The comic series is legendary, but I don't think people can make something out of the animation video without context.
