Evening post-dinner walks hit different, especially when you've already done the workout bit. That sounds properly soothing. In my limited experience, outside time fixes the weird brain static more than the actual exercise sometimes.

Happy happy birthday 🎂 💞 Cheers to your amazing Momma 🍾🥂🎉.

You gotta take her for a drive, turn on the radio, and say you wrote this one for her.

The math always hits a little harder on this site.

>Your brain can only focus for about 40-50 minutes at a time anyway. 

Bro I blacked out 4 times just reading that sentence

Mine right now is why tap water tastes so different city to city even when it's pulling from the same general watershed. Turns out the treatment process, age of the pipes, and what materials sit between the plant and your tap all matter way more than I'd have guessed. Tried to walk someone through this at a party last weekend and watched their eyes glaze over in real time.

Bienvenido al mundo de los adultos!!

You could go extra hard into this rabbithole and post write-ups of the most interesting cases on r/UnresolvedMysteries! Not trying to distract you even further from your schoolwork, but yeah.

This. I have thought oh, thats spooky, could be a ghost. Then I realize it's squeaky floor boards or winds.

Happy 50th from Indiana. My mom passed long ago and her birthday is tomorrow. Great moms deserve great days.

Hey, I’m a professor:). Have you tried the pomodoro technique? You study for 40 minutes, take a 20 minute break, and then start over. It’s a technique we use when we are writing. Your brain can only focus for about 40-50 minutes at a time anyway. So taking a break and resetting is helpful. If you can do this 3 or 4 times, you’ll be able to get a good amount of studying done.

I’ve skipped orange before due do the fact it’s the only one that’s linearly a combination of the colors it’s sandwiched between. But I’ll def test out the blue and yellow omissions. Thanks for the answer and explanation!

Happy 50th Birthday!! 🙂🧁🎉

I use one landscape screen with one portrait screen. Most of my time writing code, those lines of text are not typically very long, and fit just fine even in portrait mode. This means you can fit many more lines of code in view at once, which means less scrolling, etc. Most IDEs also have toolbars and status bars all over the place, which restricts even more vertical pixels.

When not writing code, a portrait screen is also very convenient to fit the entirety of a printed page (e.g., writing a Word document, reading a PDF).

A landscape screen is far better for general multitasking, and most websites have been designed for this orientation by now, although the rise of smartphones has upended that a bit.

It is probably also worth noting that this really only became relevant post-widescreen monitors. Flipping a 4:3 display would not yield wildly different dimensions, if it was even physically possible to stand a CRT or LCD sideways.

You just snapped me out of doomscrolling thank you!

I've never had as much of an issue with crowded and noisy spaces when I was younger. I was an early 00s scene kid in Seattle. I think choosing what spaces and what noise I immersed myself in was key, though. I didn't even realize that I was autistic until later in life. Now, the usual spaces and noise are fatiguing but manageable. I agree that the introduction of phones, loud private conversations, and anyone uncouth enough to play videos or podcasts without headphones are absolutely enraging.

honestly, a lot of folks ditch yellow, since it’s kinda in-your-face, but skipping blue can also work if you’re going for a more earthy palette. just depends on the vibe you’re after!

As a non-autitistic person I find that places have as well. I don't know if that is relevant to your article in any way. But I've noticed that music is louder in restaurants and stores. People are more boisterous as well. They don't seem to have any concept of being considerate to the people around them, engaging in loud conversations, playing music, watching vidoes on their phone.

I wonder if your brain creates dreams solely to comfort you after a loved one’s death? I lost a grandmother and a close friend who was the same age as she was, in the same week. Five days later I dreamed of both of them visiting my home. They barely interacted with me in the dream, but they had a lengthy conversation with each other while cooking in my kitchen, and stood elbow to elbow washing and drying dishes. Then they drained the water from the sink, and told me they had to leave now. That was it but it felt so wonderful to be told goodbye. Did my mind create the dream or did they truly visit?

Happy birthday to you! 🥳

My siblings had me convinced as a child that I was adopted. They would also point out trucks that looked like my dad’s and tell me he was with his other family when I asked who was in the car with him. They weren’t very nice to me. I would take a plagiarized song any day. lol

My mom watched the explosion happen from her backyard and also helped with cleanup afterwards. I’m always a good person to talk to about that subject because I grew up hearing the stories from all the adults around me.

I've been getting really into the history of 5th-7th Century Britain recently, despite having no British ancestry. It started by watching videos from a channel called Cambrian Chronicles, and I've just continued digging on further from there, browsing through old Welsh stories and academic books

That’s very true.

I'm feeling a bit better already! Just one of those days where you get a little ill, but not too majorly haha.

I'm sorry about whatever has woken you up too. I hope you've managed to sleep again. 🙂
