Depending on the rigidity of your conscience you could whip up some buzzword laden project with "blockchain" written all over it. Some suckers will throw money at that if you give it a colourful website with plenty of vague promis

There is literally no useful information in this article. It could be summed up as "everything people have been told is bullshit and we don't know what isn't". What a waste of time.

You need to: 1) Figure out the type of person who caused the trauma 2) Learn their psychology/world view (there are books on abusive personalities) 3) Learn to recognise them quickly 4) Have a plan to deal with them 5) Profit (you&#x27

FWIW nicotine in cigarettes is only as addictive as it is because tobacco also contains short acting MAOIs (monoamine oxidase inhibitors - harmane and harmaline, the same ones combined with DMT) and other additives that relax the airways

Update: So I discovered numerous services were sending data directly to Facebook, using some form of hashed identifier, presumably a hash of my contact info. The two big ones being Amazon and Uber. Anyway I've decided to switch to a du

Other platforms only look for similar content to what you've already seen. They don't take novelty into account. If you like one picture of a dog on Instagram it'll just show you more dogs and you get bored. Watch a few YouTu

Define interesting. If by interesting you mean people who enjoy the same topics of conversation as you do then pick a topic. Figure out what people interested in that topic do, where do they go. Go there.

We don't go to China for cheap labour. We go for skills and manufacturing capacity & capability. China has advanced so dramatically and the population so vast that they've essentially overtaken the West in nearly every categor

To all the people assuming we're reducing immigration because of some kind of phobia. The simple truth is we don't have anywhere for them to go. We have a near permanent homeless population, with people living on the streets for y

Scrunching up the tissue into a ball creates gaps in the surface. The only logical thing to do is fold to maintain proper contact. Noobs.

Enzymes are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions. Genetic engineering is already used to manufacture some chemicals by modifying the DNA of microbes to produce the necessary enzymes. The microbes then consume the precursor chemicals

The hypothesis that blocking noradrenaline (norepinephrine) is the mechanism of action here doesn't make any sense. In fact nothing about what the author states about noradrenaline makes any sense. It just doesn't work like that.

Time tracking is self sabotage. It's better to estimate the hours required, quote for those hours and agree a completion date in advance. With time tracking you're inviting unnecessary scrutiny and failing to establish work bounda

I speak some French but no where near fluent. Native English. I pronounce "oui" not as "we" but as you describe. The sound starts at the back of the tongue towards the throat and barely involves the lips, unlike "we

Spotify in the early days used to be great for this. Their entire catalogue was browsable with fine grained genres. They ruined it and became useless for music discovery. If Last.fm is still around that may be useful, they are/were gre

Maybe try the opposite. You can have too much of a good thing. Cover the screens, spend time outside, read a good book unrelated to tech, diversify your time. If motivation were a battery you wouldn't try to recharge it and use it at t

I played Stardew Valley for a good while. As far as I can tell though mobile gaming is a failed concept overall. Pixel Dungeon is good if you're looking for a roguelike. Other than those two it's all mind numbing one button auto s

You need to stop building things you don't enjoy building and which you have little to no interest in actually using. After that take as much time as necessary for something to strike your interest, possibly in a totally different doma
