TIL.

This is going to be my new phrase…sorry, I can’t do that right now as my ego is depleted.

There are evidence based tips from behavioural psychology you can use to help. Some examples…

Will-power is a finite resource in the day, so if exercise is left to the end of the day then it is easier to leave out.

If you keep your exercise clothes laid out then it removes that barrier and makes it easier to get up and go to exercise. When I get home from work I change straight into gym clothes even if I’m not going to work out for another couple of hours.

Keep a TV show/audio book that you are excited about, that you only ever watch in the gym. Then you can never progress the story without going to the gym.

What’s next? 8 hours sleep?

Cool story. Weed should be legal. But let’s not pretend it doesn’t have any harmful effects. Alcohol and smoking should be illegal though.

People here are mostly nice compared to mainstream platforms.

Try disagreeing with the hive mind. Anyone can be nice to someone who echo’s their own opinion. The real niceness of a person is revealed when they can show civility to people they disagree with (I’m not talking about LGBTQ oppressors or Nazis…there’s a huge spectrum of opinions that aren’t extreme).

You guys don’t?

Shouldn’t they be clapping and cheering even more in the last panel?

Yeah there are a bunch of benefits you can claim from the government: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/benefits-check/

Healthcare is also not tied to any job or anything.

This is hyperbole. Healthcare cost might be covered, but there are a lot more expenses with being sick. Social support and housing support in the UK is laughable. Good luck if you cant work because of disability. The hospital will keep you alive…and then discharge you to the street.

Still better than America though.

40th coming up soon.

Cool, thanks. I’ll show this to the Mrs.

Not sure how he’ll respond though. 3am this morning he’s woken us up and insisted that it is time to practice his 6 times table 😄

That’s a pretty good idea.

I like the fact the I’ve got a piece of internet history with my hotmail.com account from 1998. I don’t use it at all, but I keep it alive for shit that needs Microsoft accounts. Can’t remember how many years it has been since I looked at the inbox. I wonder if it is empty or if it has thousands of junk mail in it.

My real inbox is with Mailbox.org

Mine goes:

“Is it morning”

“Yes”

“Then get up”

Unfortunately most of the time we get asked is at 3am and have to say no…which is not the welcome answer.

Tall. Forever slim no matter what I eat. Stable supportive family.

An electric screwdriver is essential. Don’t even try to start assembling IKEA furniture without one, it will literally take twice as long.

Exactly. Replacing a light fixture, installing an outdoor floodlight, replacing a kitchen tap, replacing a shower mixer…all really easy tasks I’ve learnt from YouTube videos and are perfectly safe.

“If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.”

You could use terminal for everything, but first you must learn to use terminal.

Thanks. I’ll check it out. The downloaded files were 35GB for 1080p resolution. Don’t know what the hell it was doing.

1. Mostly Lemmy/Reddit/social circle recommendations

2. Download

3. I used to download directly to my phone and watch there. Then I got a NAS and started copying from my phone to the NAS. Then I set up download software on the NAS to have it always on. Then got Plex set up. Then the Arr’s (although these are janky and I end up doing a lot of manual additions).

4. Plex

I would highly suggest getting a NAS and playing around with it. Self hosting is complicated, but I got it as a “dumb” network drive on my LAN. Then slowly I started adding on different Docker containers and added to it. Each setup was a painful learning process of errors and troubleshooting, so don’t try to do everything in one go.

You don’t even need to be a pirate for self hosting. You can buy dirt cheap physical media on eBay and rip it to make a pretty huge personal library on the cheap.
