There's a great book about this, the author writes a bit at https://www.lichtenbergianism.com/ but a paper copy is much more useful imo.

What are the implications of that choice? Safety?

It actually works out better than 30%, quote is just an accounting game. You pay taxes on 70%, the top 30% is a tax free allowance. With a top marginal rate of ~50% it’s a massive savings. Politically I think they originally justified it as

This is an excellent “I didn’t know you could do that… but why couldn’t you?” idea. Surely some people are under work contracts that wouldn’t allow it, but otherwise it’s a super interesting tactic.

I can always switch back to the old phone, if I can figure out how to ensure I can always answer calls and read notifications. I’d miss the upgraded camera but maybe it’s worth it.

Thanks, I’ve just moved furniture around to make space a reading corner. I really like 15-60 minutes of reading and reflection in the evening, and it seems like a good idea to move it out of the bed.

Even just switching from phone at night to tablet or e-reader was a massive improvement. Something about the phone makes it much more compelling and harder to put down. Never had a bedroom tv and definitely won’t. I’d prefer that my wife al

Vouched to bring this comment back to life. Probably flagged because it’s an “actually your problem is very simple” response, but there’s truth to it. My pocket device needs these features: (a touch short of absolute requirements, but who’s

That’s a great idea. I tried a lot of similar techniques years ago without much success, but I should try again since I’ve been diagnosed and treated for ADHD since then.

My recent anecdote. Last month my phone broke: the touch screen would stop responding, but I could still connect a Bluetooth keyboard and headphones. After maybe 5 hard resets in a row, the screen would work again for a few minutes or hours

More likely that the choice is about avoiding the physical effects of the alternative.

Totally agree! We used this book for our 3.5yo son and then even faster with his 2.5yo brother. It somehow gets a layer deeper in terms of understanding, empathizing, and managing behavior.

What device gave you watchable TV screens and still let you see your environment?

Don’t take this too seriously, but this sounds like my prior experience with undiagnosed adhd.

While there may have been some top-line VAT or sales tax, companies deduct wages and pay taxes on the net profit.

When I left an office and starting working freelance from home, I tried every productivity trick in the book with little success. In the end, it turned out that I had undiagnosed ADHD that had been accommodated by an almost perfect office e

I have been using this on my RPi4B and it’s been pretty inconsistent. I haven’t had a chance to troubleshoot it yet though.
