You just need to find a hobby that you can do at work. Can be reading books, making music, playing video games, watching TV shows, chess etc.

Working on some hobby coding project could also be fun. When work is slow I work on an HTTP client that’s terminal based.

Also check if you can go out for a haircut or do misc errands and with enough excuses you could put a gym workout while at work. Maybe you say you have a dentist or a doctors appointment but go to the gym instead. Kids are also a great excuse like “my kid is sick today so I’m going to pick him up and leave early” and you just go to the gym and do groceries.

If I had that type of situation I’d play tons of video, right now I’d play factorio and go to the gym. I might also see if there are some nice people at work that I can schedule a meeting with to just banter.

That’s a question that is very hard to answer. Dogs have a similar-ish brain structure but there’s a good chance you need a massive prefrontal cortex to have a chance of getting autism.

It’s a sin doing that to an elote.

I’m going to say “The prince” by Machiavelli. The modern title would be “How to play power games and hold onto power” or something. The content is nice and solid but it’s clear he should have hired an editor. His sentences are longer than most paragraphs.

The advice in the book is outdated to be fair. He essentially says “use money to make money instead of your time” and recommends getting on the housing ladder and using the fact that upgrading houses doesn’t cost capital gains.

Never read it, but what I’ve heard it’s wishful thinking combined with a self-fulfilling prophecy. Like “I manifested getting a healthy body so I started eating healthy and going to the gym so the Secret works”. The manifest part in completely optional but I can see it helping some people.

The main point of the book could have been summarised up in an email. I listened to it as an audio book just to know what it’s about and it’s just “communism bad” mixed with everything Margaret Thatcher could masturbate to.

Gonna leave this here for those who need it. It’s surprisingly fun to grind arithmetic skill.

I’m introverted and I got invited everywhere all the time. People liked inviting me because I always showed up and was dependable. Those people who invited me are still my friends today.

It’s a commodity that’s widely used as a way to keep the value of a portfolio in case of inflation. Gold has a lot of utility but recently because of uncertainty about the US dollar central banks have been stocking up on gold.

Complete societal collapse is very unlikely and we have studied economics enough to the point where hyperinflation is avoidable.

For investors keeping some gold (10-20% of portfolio) can be very nice since it allows you to buy the dip and is inflation proof. On the other hand, gold can become a speculative asset so it’s value can be inflated just like any other commodity. So in a way currently it’s either a nice tool or a bubble (or scam as you call it).

Silver, used in solar panels, is also pretty good for same reasons.

I don’t get it, how do you see something that’s not a duck?

I know about a funky thing where if you have equal amounts of sweet, salty, bitter, umami and sour you feel less full after eating it. It might be completely unrelated though.

Yeah, PFAS or forever chemicals like Teflon are not all equal. The bigger “fluffier” molecules can pass through the body way easier than the smaller ones.

If people are in the US they should check their drinking water first since that’s the majority of PFAS that stay in the body weirdly enough.

I’d say because it’s still new and the content is very nerd heavy as you have probably seen from all the Linux posts. Also, most user’s here come from the reddit exodus after the removal of third party apps.

One other thing is that when you link content from Lemmy you can just link the image directly instead of sending a link to Lemmy with a login screen. The adoption rate from people linking will be a lot lower since Lemmy is not sacrificing quality to increase numbers.

Either way, I like the size and it suits me, I can “finish” my Lemmy for the day in a reasonable amount of time and I get my fix of Linux news, memes and shitposts so it’s just a win for me.

Pretty sure you’d have to label nicotine content and age restrict it no matter how it’s consumed.

It’s science, I don’t know the specifics of craving but I know they spent a lot of money to figure out how give you that feeling.
