It would be nice if those of us who handle WFH under a pandemic very well have some leverage after it's resolved to continue a WFH schedule. I really don't care for the long commute to an open office. The combination reduces both

It's not just culturally routine, but culturally shamed for not adhering. Additionally, it does not take much time at all. Meditation requires more investment in time by a factor of 10 at least, and if you shame someone for not meditat

I'll chime in as someone who has used Django and its ORM for about 5 years and I have to say it's a pleasure to use.

One issue I've seen when assessing some of the vegetarian or other plant-based diets proposed has been neglecting to account for protein. Most men at least don't enjoy the muscle loss associated with eating a low-protein diet, whi

I learned how to turn a stream of nonsense (from my perspective) into words by listening to hundreds of hours of Spanish TV that I didn't understand. Spanish audio + Spanish subtitles (to figure out how to parse sound, and to map sound

He's one of the top mods, no? At least from glancing at the list.

For something inaccurate, why would it be the pinned thread with nearly all the activity? Edit: Doing a search for the title shows that it's been the main tradition for ~ 2 years. So that line of reasoning seems a little suspect.

Ahh, ok. I recently came across his blog and the subreddit, and based on the huge activity in that thread I figured that was a prominent creation of his. Thanks for the clarification.

Not really. Facebook will put your account in a cycle of verification hell. They really don't seem to like accounts of users trying to be anonymous. Granted, maybe someone else will have better luck with that than I did. For me, they e

L-theanine completely destroys my ability to sleep. I've tested a few times now. Dosage used was 100mg, taken early in the day. It's like I get stuck in super light sleep where I'm practically dreaming but awake.
