I know almost nothing about nuclear power other than it’s the most efficient, so you must be right lol 👍

what does built “from scratch” mean? Just a more emphatic way of saying “built?” Or that it wasn’t repurposed out of some already built building?
So, the negative effects of stress don’t come from stress itself, but from the fight-or-flight response it elicits. Could you not just switch to having a different response to stress?
For instance, from “The Upside of Stress” by Kelly McGonigal, it says there can be more stress responses than fight-or-flight. Would this then indicate as long as you don’t show symptoms of the fight-or-flight response (poor immune system, digestive system, etc), your stress doesn’t necessarily have to be harmful to you? :)
edit: Found a cool TedTalk from Kelly McGonigal as well
That’s nice to hear :)
I feel as if live what is stereotypically considered a “high stress life” (cPTSD + multi minority), but I’ve always worked hard for my health and thus have low blood pressure and am fairly fit. Because of that, it’s always kind of sucked to see clickbait articles claiming that not only did I suffer through the trauma, but I will also die 20 years earlier due to circumstances completely out of my control.
I imagine these sorts of messages get attention because they can be very validating, but personally I’ve always found platitudes of “mitigate your stress!” annoying because it usually ends with the implication that I am automatically unhealthy because 1) I challenge myself, 2) am a minority, and/or 3) had some bad stuff happen to me a while ago.
Being stressed in healthy doses every once in a while is not bad for your health.
This reminds me of a good book I once read “The Upside of Stress” by Kelly McGonigal, about how if people viewed their stress positively, such as framing it as “excitement” instead of “distress,” they had better health outcomes and were more successful in their given fields. I may have to reread that book sometime :)
Not really a “hack,” but literally just prioritize the things you care about.
I feel like there’s so much pressure when you’re young to be excelling in literally every field. You’re expected to be getting great grades while also having the time of your life at parties while also doing extracurriculars, and so on.
If you only care about resume building, just focus on grades (and extracurriculars if you’re in high school). It’s okay to not have friends and get terrible sleep, school is only temporary anyways!
If you only care about appreciating life, that’s valid too! Functionally there’s often no difference between a 70% and a 100% as long as you make “the cut” to get into college/a job/whatever.
Objectively, the only thing you should not be neglecting is your health. To be perfectly honest, sometimes you will just need to pull all-nighters to get your priorities done. Don’t make a habit of it.
Also, one last controversial opinion: Office hours are useless if you already know the material, you shouldn’t just be attending office hours by default.
I liked Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
I thought it was a fun movie and I liked Rey as a character
I mean, yeah?? I just put the soap wherever it needs to go??
The soap isn’t dirty folks. Half of the time all I’m showering off is sweat and dead skin cells anyways. And if any bugger dares reply to this with some clever comment about taint smears, I’ll inform you beforehand I do not speak with bidet-less miscreants.
Yeah, I’m assuming that’s the implications. Just more of “unplug chargers you aren’t using” and other now useless advice from 10 years ago before regulations were introduced/new evidence was found
In case anyone’s wondering, unplugging chargers apparently only saves 0.5% of household energy use. And on this page about saving electricity on computer use, “turning on dark mode” doesn’t even make the list of recommendations. Basically the main thing recommended was “put your computer to sleep when you’re not using it.”
It seems crazy that Twitter is actively taking steps to become a worse social media company. Back when I was a kid, companies were supposed to be these well thought out, highly methodical entities that would only make the most optimal moves. I suppose it’s 2023 now though.
Pre-Med student here. Just ya average non-average queer neurodivergent zoomer. I’m not from a tech background, but I do use Linux, which basically makes me a programmer 😎
This power would be super useful. Imagine if using mirrors you could just lift all the dirt & grime off your skin, pick up all the dust on the floor, lift up a small camera and fly it through the air, or eat without utensils
To be able to stockpile time up to 24 hours. For example, if I’m running late on a project, I can dip into a time stockpile for 8 hours to get it done. At a later time I can then lose 8 hours from my time
I take more college classes a semester so I take on less debt overall
Reddit has gone to the crapper. It’s not just banning 3rd party apps, it’s not just ditching awards, all of these wildly unpopular decisions have left a permanent scar on the user base and it shows. Now, all of the top posts on r/popular are garbage nonsense like “unpopular opinion: the far left and far right are both just as bad as each other” or “im a horse girl rate me”. Sad times.
Cardio is awesome, the runners high is real, but you have to be well conditioned so it’s tough for beginners.
Sometimes, I also like to do workouts because it makes me feel productive while not being as mentally taxing as my ‘job’ of being a full time college student :/
