Understandable but for most use-cases (if your images are hosted on a reliable CDN and are optimized) lazy load should work fine. Lazy load works based on the distance of the image from the viewport so it may not load too late.
Chromium based browsers now natively support lazy-loading.
As someone who just recently worked on reducing page load times these were found to be the main issues
1- Loading large Images(below the fold/hidden) on first load
2- Marketing tags- innumerable and out of control
3- Executing non critical JS before page load
4- Loading noncritical CSS before page load
Overall we managed to get page load times down by 50% on average by taking care of these.
The characteristics you describe probably apply to way too many people than you think.
Even people who think they are otherwise.
For people really looking to go further than themselves there is no self-improvement script but books that look at the condition of the self.Maybe Seneca and Eastern Philosophy. The problem however is that just reading book/s are not going to get us anywhere far. Applying them and thinking over them helps. It doesn't however help 'improve' any of our day to day tasks, but frees our mind. However I believe these have the first principles of the self every person ought to know to get beyond the self.
I used to be an easily stressed person. I do get stressed even now but am acutely aware of it affecting the body and mind. I feel that a lot of people don't even know that they are stressed. It used to take many minutes of sitting still for my mind to relax. At that point some of my muscles would automatically relax. Only at that instant would I even become aware of it being tight the whole day.
I bought my wife's phone bundled with Fi with interest free installments. However since I had to activate the phone itself using her email id the installments never happened they charged me the amount all together. I called support but they didn't help/ didn't know how to. I have never had to call them since then which helps.
I myself have a republic connection which IMHO opinion is very similar and has a very similar plan getting bandwidth from different carriers to operate. Republic is much better for some reason in terms of coverage and is cheaper as well.
Overall I am appalled by the cost of mobile data and internet in the USA compared to countries like India. Reliance JIO just changed the game in India with the unlimited data and every other provider was forced to up their game. Not seeing anything like that happening here.
What comes to mind is something called "zero budget farming" invented by in India by Subhash Palekar. This is basically an approach based on the premise that modern farming including Organic farming is killing the microbes and other beneficial organisms in the soil critical to sustainable agriculture. http://www.palekarzerobudgetspiritualfarming.org/zbnf.aspx
I just installed f.lux. It is almost midnight here. As soon as it installed and my screen tuned almost yellow I can immediately feel the strain on my eyes disappear and replaced with a coolness. This is incredible software. I will probably use this the rest of my life.Thank you!
