Currently learning dutch through Memrise on my phone and spaced repetition on obsidian.
Its slow going due to being swamped in school work. But i’ve found it more effective than my highschool french class ever was.
Dang most of these resemble my old reddit favourites.

I practice polyphasic sleep and reducing blue light is pretty important there to avoid messing your circadian rhythm.
The community recomends wearing the orange laser protection glasses, the same ones laser cutter operators use. Because that’s what glasses actually have to look like to filter blue light.
Oh that’s me. I’m tired and bored so I’ll share my story.
I was “depressed” because of working an abusive toxic job and commuting 2 hours a day for dimes. While at the same time spending my free time in the doomerism of r/fvckcars
Filled out the doctor’s questionaire and was diagonised with anxiety, and depression. I even had the bottle of pills before the hour was even over.
Lost the job, and swapped my pass-time from pessimistic r/fvckcars to more optimistics YouTube/notjustbikes
No more depression, never needed those anti-depressants because it was never a proper chemical depression.
To many doctors just want to medicate the symptoms and never bother to consider the sickness underneath.
Not OC, but some ways to “reduce consumption” are reducing our usage of inefficient technology by replacing it with more energy/resource efficient means.
Examples include replacing individual automobiles with mass transit, building more dense cities to reduce consumption of construction materials/ vehicle miles, and not training massively large language models in facilities that consume more energy than an entire small country.
I’d probably spend my time learning IT, computer hardware specs and maybe networking.
Maybe build a private file sharing | streaming service for my apartment, and start a website blog.
Perhaps also persue digital art and finally learn how to use vectors.
Maybe also make a YouTube channel and spend my time educating others.
But alas, im bound by my need for an income and will spend the next few years trying to persists as a (almost) new mechanical engineer bachelor.
Not too bad. It was 4.5$ for one of those smallish bottles last I checked.
Trying to learn a new language and my friends keep recomeneding duolingo. But my zero tolerance for ads makes Duolingo dead on arrival.
I kept saying “yes but”, as I read this. But then you said podcast, and I was like ooooh yeah I can do without YouTube. Just need my guys to ship their audio as a podcast.
Electrolysis, it works but it takes a lot of energy to produce, so burning hydrogen from this would be a fools errand.
Use binary. You can count super high on your fingers, arithmetic is as easy as it gets. Binary is the best number system.
10 yr olds are really talented these days.
I personally had to give up on mint after like a week. Couldn’t for the life of me get multiple displays working.
Not loads per say, but the workers are exposed to more radiation than a nuclear reactor operator would be.
Over, unless you have a holder that covers the wall.
