One of my favourite quotes is "motivation follows action". Often times I've found myself loath to do something, but once I start "revving up" (at work, it might be starting with something simple like a small refactor; at home, it could be committing to simply washing one plate of the stack I have remaining) I find I gain the motivation to keep going.
Yes, because their profit margins are that low (!).
Considering Apple charges you £500 for a phone and £1000 for a laptop, I'd expect a bit more in terms of default cloud storage. 5 gig (and the 16 gig the cheapest iPhone 5S model offers) are incredibly stingy.
Alcohol, plastics (which leech from containers into the liquid they contain), pesticides (on fruits, vegetables)—there are a host of environmental factors that reduce our testosterone levels.
And as for anxiety, I think our modern urban lifestyle far increases our anxiety levels compared to our ancestors.
The human body was not meant for the world we live in!
I'd think the opposite. Since she is used to having to work hard from a young age, she will be more successful in life.
Others who coasted through—whom were used to everything being relatively easier—will not have the experience she has already accrued when faced with a harder challenge.
Good tips. Getting in the habit of explicitly searching (/) instead of scrolling is another one.
On the subject of using fFtT (and other motions), there's a plugin I quite like that works well with my mental model of that motion—I often don't want to go to the first instance of that character, but the second or third in that line. EasyMotion[1] lets you do that.
I've always heard a lot of this is due to improper running technique, since shoe technology shifted to a heavily-padded heel. This in turn made people more likely to land on the heel, which sends the shock right up the leg, into the knee.
Barefoot running, and less padded shoes, promote landing on the balls of your feet (as otherwise it's incredibly painful!). Landing on the balls of your feet allows your foot to reduce the force that gets shot up the leg.
Relationships are an investment. It requires some effort but the return on that effort is incredibly high. As I get older I realize how valuable my friendships all are.
It's because you weren't eating any fats. On a low-carb diet, your body uses fat as its energy source. If you don't eat any fat, your body will not willingly consume your body fat.
Excess protein you eat is effectively broken down into carbohydrates as well—so everything was working against you.
I've posted this on previous ad blocking threads, and I'll post it again because I think it's very relevant—
> "Adblock without the plus" isn't the original Adblock (from which Adblock Plus was forked), it's an extension created for Google Chrome once Google Chrome enabled support for extensions. Very disingenuous name. It piggy-backed on the work already done for Adblock Plus (for Firefox).
> Adblock Plus for Google Chrome came much later.
Nowadays, I use and recommend HTTP switchboard[0]. It's fully open[1], and offers very powerful customization on what exactly to block on a site.
