I often leave the house without my iPhone. Here is my full stack: - Ask wife to set up screen time passcode and not tell me - Block social media and other distracting websites in Screen Time - Set a 1 minute time limit…
Apple Watch with Authy is a great solution for this. I don’t need to have my phone in the same room to use 2FA.
Better yet, don’t answer unknown phone calls.
There are health risks associated with vaping though, so the risk is not minimal. But yes, you need to _want to_ quit in order to be able to.
I am committed to not smoking or vaping, no matter what. So far, I haven’t experienced any strong cravings for the gum when not taking it for a day or two. When I decide to stop in about a couple months, I will power…
I used to be a smoker, for a good decade. Then, switched to vaping for 3-4 years, which allowed me to taper down my nicotine use and quit completely. This was about 5 years ago. Recently, I’ve started using nicotine gum…
I mostly use my large iPad Pro as a secondary screen with Sidecar when traveling. For this, it's excellent. I've used it for some minimal coding via Codespaces or SSH, which was fine, but as a development machine, the…
> To me, this sounds like a nightmare. The idea that something artificial could change me in any way. And the idea that people desire this is scary. For many, this is the whole point of taking psychedelics - to find…
> There must be some deeper biological reason for it to be favored so heavily. Or perhaps the fact that it's legal and readily available in every grocery store, restaurant and entertainment venue? Unlike any other mind…
The early decade or so of electronic music parties were truly magical. People were mostly on MDMA and/or LSD and did not consume much alcohol. Sadly, these days alcohol culture has taken over, and people often use…
I recently discovered IVPN and really like it. It's my preferred VPN. Previously, I've used NordVPN and ProtonVPN.
I also vouch for Chromatic, it has been extremely valuable for us. It is only working with Storybook, though, as it's made by the same company.
I was an alcoholic and have completely quit drinking around 7 years ago. I’m in my mid 30’s now. Changing my peer group was the most important thing. Hanging out with people who drink at places where drinking is the…
I challenge any non-ADHD person to do the following for a week: * Sleep only 5 hours a day * Spend 5 hours on TikTok every day * Eat a diet of mostly processed carbohydrates * Stay sedentary all day Let’s see if this…
I think a large amount of the ADHD symptoms can be mitigated with lifestyle habits. Proper sleep, moving the body, getting sun, meditating, proper nutrition, managing dopamine disrupting activities (e.g. mindlessly…
Is there something that we can use on iOS to hide recommendations?
I reach for lo-fi when I'd like to set the mood chill and relax. Typically, for evening spent with my girlfriend or for a bunch on a weekday. For work, I prefer more dynamic instrumental music. Specifically, hypnotic,…
I switched to using StartPage after DDG failed me. I ended up adding !g to almost all of the searches. StartPage shows Google results through a proxy for improved privacy. I am quite happy with it.
I am trying to manage my ADHD sympthoms naturally. I don't believe that I should take stimulants until I have my lifestyle habits in order. I found that sleep quality is the number one metric that determines the level…
