Then it could be a specific case that causes the lags. I noticed that a complicated folder structure, maybe in combination with sharepoint links, are the worst. and the icons would take some time to load as well 😞. I’m even on a beefy and expensive company workstation laptop.

Did the “upgrade” to win11 last week, it’s been quite horrible especially the windows explorer which hangs for 5s every time I open a folder 😮‍💨

Glad he helped you out and I wish you the best!

This is great, mind if I borrow it? 😂

I understand your point. It’s just easy to make it economic as an example, productivity can go to hell. Life satisfaction and life expectancy by themselves should be a big enough motivation to support public welfare. It’s just that the arguments against are usually rooted in economic motivations, e.g. inefficiency of the tax money management.

There could be a misunderstanding here, I meant public welfare spending, not personal spending.

Countries who spend more on public welfare would get more people being productive rather than staying home sick. Higher life expectancy and higher life satisfaction is also expected.

The welfare spending provides an oversized return in productivity. What is common to all the low spenders - low life expectancy.

So…a big tiddy goth??

I’ll try out Ginkgo, thanks!

It’s still going. Yes it could be permanent, but it seems that people can just adapt to it especially when not thinking about it. I used to have momentary ringing as a kid, but now it’s there all the time.

Take care of your ears! And teeth, eyes, and joints, and uh… health.

Then I wish you good health good random internet person!

Nope, just a regular day and not too much caffeine either. I was a bit tired though because I hadn’t got enough sleep, but also not severely deprived (6 to 6.5 hrs, pretty OK).

That’s pretty cool that you can tune it out. I hope I’ll be able to do it as well!

I’ve been wanting to get those earplugs as a precaution for a while but I don’t go to music fest or concerts often enough to justify it. But maybe I should get em and go out more.

Hopefully the new medical tech gets more mainstream and cheaper soon, just like lasik.

Hey, thanks it was a good read. I’ve known that it’s largely inconclusive and the conflicting recommendation is confusing.

Nevertheless, as you said, getting whole food is the best, and if I want it salty, I’ll add the salt and msg myself 😂

It’s a bit overwhelming for me at the moment, but it’s very comforting to hear that it’ll get easier over time.

that’s very kind of you.

I’ll try my best not to be fixated on it.

I’ve always been super clumsy, so a pretty good chance that mine was also caused by physical trauma. Once I ran and jumped onto the bed, underestimating how far I’ll slide - then bumped my tiny little kiddie head very hard to the headboard of the bed.

I’ll check my BP when I get the chance. I think I suffer more mentally to the thought of having to constantly live with it for the rest of my life.

That is oddly beautiful. I can see the resemblance with cicada or cricket sounds. I used to live in the tropics as well. When I’m bummed about it I’ll think of your comment.
