The “panda effect”!
Good news, environmental agencies know about it and exploit it. They select species that they call umbrella species. The gist is that protecting those species (eg pandas) also protect a lot of other less cute, more resilient, but nonetheless important species and ecosystems (eg bamboo forests).
With a standing desk, you have to be very careful in not being stationary. Standing in the same position for an hour is not great for your back at all, but the goal of a standing desk is to constantly move a little bit and relax your back muscles. Ideally, you want some sort of standing desk pad that forces you to subconsciously constantly move.
The best exercise is the one you actually do
That’s how I finally got to exercise regularly. First, I spend way too long trying to hype myself up for running. Never happened. I hate running. No amount of convenience can convince me. Then I started hiking and yoga and swimming and whatever came my way. Sure, I don’t have any sort of routine, but I do some sport very regularly!
Why are religious people in charge of medical decisions?!?
There are many aspects of work one could consider. For me, the social aspect is a big one. I have been in sick leave for a while now, will likely be home for a while longer, and I honestly miss the social net that work gives - both friends, friendly coworkers and unrelated coworkers. Plus there daily structure, the feeling of accomplishment and “being an active part of society”. Those are all important mental values that work provides and that can help while dealing with a long term illness.
This being said, there is a gradient between encouraging people to work while sick because out provides mental health benefits and forcing people to work while sick because otherwise they’d be on the streets without health insurance… And providing easy ways to work part time should be part of the equation.

Poor gynecologists…
There are quite some studies showing that interactivity actually decreases learning on the long term. Basically, the learner gets distracted by all the shiny buttons, looks for new information instead of incorporating the old one. This gets worse the more options are available at any given time, so the learner constantly has to make a conscious choice to keep their concentration. Comparing it with a book, there are less options and less distractions.
Lol! Did not mean it like that…
A little thing I love is people’s houses. There are always so many details that talk about their history, the present occupants, the place. I can pass in front of the same building every day and still notice something new.
Don’t most countries have constitutions though?
I’m an optimist. Maybe they think that all others know the answers by heart and don’t need to check the options? (I know that’s probably too optimistic)
Unbelievable…
The more I see about education nowadays, the more I realize I would not survive it anymore. So many tests and assignments and whatever, students have barely any time left to think or be bored. Everything gets constantly evaluated.
Hanging is such a horrible method…
It does feel like it, doesn’t it?
That’s a step I forget soooo often!
Yeah, I’m so confused about their planning steps. Don’t you check the map to see where it is? Book a hotel nearby? Confirm with other websites? So odd to just roll with whatever the AI spouted…

Low quality wine is much worse than its alcohol content.
Random personal anecdote: I can’t drink stout beers anymore. A single one gives me the worst hangovers. Same quantity of alcohol in other beverages doesn’t have nearly the same effects.
I want to upvote twice. Only correct answer!
