Play Factorio. The time will go by much quicker, and you'll feel productive and unproductive simultaneously.

I thought sex was determined at time of fertilization by the chromosomes. If a sperm carrying a Y chromosome meets an egg carrying an X chromosome, won't the resulting fetus always be male? Is that not the case?

Dang. You're right.

Internet says an average adult breaths 12 - 20 time per minute. Assuming 20 breaths per minute, that comes out to $1,440 dollars per day($0.05 × 20 breaths × 60 minutes × 24 hours)

If you're dedicated, you can walk 20,000 steps in a day. It's not easy, but it's achievable. This would yield $5,000 per day.

For perspective, if you were smart and chose the $5,000 per day, it would take you 547 years to earn your first billion and 131,416 years to have as much money as Jeff Bezos.

Edit: I lost some decimals. I fixed the calculations

I'm not 100% certain if it's fully private, but I've been using a VPN and LibreWolf + uBlock Origin. I watch what I want to and reset my browsing session when I'm done.

What has helped me convince my friends is to mention the features and not mention the privacy. Most people care about features and convenience but don't care at all about privacy. When I'm trying to convince my friends to switch to Signal, I usually say something along the lines of "it's like iMessage for Android" and give a small demonstration of the features.

I do several things in conjunction.

  1. I plan when I need to go sleep using either sleepyti.me or wakeupti.me and set my alarms accordingly. Setting your alarm to align with your sleep patterns makes the act of waking up much easier.

  2. I set my phone on my desk away from my bed. The reasoning is two-fold; it forces me to get up and out of bed to dismiss my alarm(This works extra well if you make it a habit to get dressed as soon as you're out of bed.), and it prevents me from laying in bed while playing on my phone.

  3. I wake up at the same time every day. Consistency is paramount managing sleep.

  4. I only sleep in my bed. I don't do anything else. This builds an association to automatically get sleepy when you get in bed because the only thing you in bed is sleep. Your brain knows what to expect and just does it. Sort of like how some guys get excited when they see their girlfriend tie her into a ponytail.

The cold tile floor of the marching band's laundry room for about two hours. I had a severe migraine, and for me, that means I'm going to take a nap no matter where I am. It was about as comfortable as you can imagine.

I'm at 47 minutes so far, but it's still early. Depending on how busy I am, it may get up to 3 hours by the end of the day.
