You can only help people who want to be helped. That goes for yourself, too. You can't help yourself until you actually have the desire to improve.

That "coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ and organ system of the body weeks, months, and potentially years after infection (11,12). Documented serious post-COVID-19 conditions include cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, renal, endocrine, hematological, and gastrointestinal complications (8), as well as death.".

This is true regardless of symptom severity or health status, every person is at risk. I think most people really aren't aware of this, they absorbed the narrative that it's gone, mild, only kills/harms the vulnerable, etc. This isn't really their fault, there are a lot of factors that have led people to that belief, but people should know their lives and livelihoods are much more at risk now than 4 years ago.

And that this isn't inevitable, there are simple methods of disrupting transmission and protecting yourself and others. COVID-19 is here to stay (unless we do something about that) and it has impacts on every person infected and on society at large. That shouldn't mean folks accept illness and worse quality of life. We adapt and adopt precautions in our life to reduce long-term health impacts, like we've done before with many other illnesses that plague humanity.

• Exercise grows your hippocampus

This is the most important fact I have ever learned.

Unless you are wealthy, if you think life is to expensive you should ask for more taxes, not less.

The issue is not your net income, but wealth redistribution and solidarity.

Magnetic USB connectors are a thing and can save your cables/devices not just from wear and tear (unplugging/replugging constantly) but also from cables being tripped over or otherwise pulled. Highly recommended if you're using VR! Sadly there are no standards to these.

The cable is the weakest link of Earbuds for durability.

IEM's with replaceable cables are readily available and getting very cheap & good these days (e.g. Moondrop Chu 2, Truthear Hola, etc)

Keyboard shortcuts and basic computer knowledge. I'm in college and just existing with tech illiterate people is maddening.

When you're about to face a high risk, high reward situation, you should willfully, willingly start to hyperventilate, as this helps your brain ...

NEVER take any stranger's advice on the internet as credible without checking it with a specialist. This is especially true when said advice relates to your health and/or safety.

Cars are way more expensive than you think, and getting rid of it will make you happier and way wealthier.

Tires can get damaged internally and the only real way to tell is to dismount them from the rim. If there is internal damage they can potentially explode while being filled with air.

I see a lot of people filling up their tires while sitting straight infront of them and if they do explode it explodes straight outward. My tip is to connect the air gauge and then stand of to the side while filling, just in case.

What wasn’t reasoned in, can’t be reasoned out. Many people who suffer from conspiratorial thinking need help and support more than evidence and debate.

Cement is highly alkaline. If wet cement comes in contact with your skin, it can cause third degree chemical burns. So don't write your name in wet cement like Bart Simpson.

Lithium batteries are happiest between 20 and 80% state of charge. You should not store them outside of that range. Charging a little often also doesn't hurt your battery like many seem to believe.

Charging while cold is bad, but storing in cold is good.

Also, NiMh and NiCd batteries are different tha Lithium based ones. Check what type of battery you have. Phones and EVs are almost always lithium though.

That GoodWill and Autism Speaks are not valid as charities/nonprofits.

If someone tells you no or you try and fail at something, life actually just continues on from that point, and you can try other things

You can't take money with you when you die.

The power in your punch comes from your legs.

Take the following with a big spoon of salt, since I am not a lawyer. Those are the results of interest and some reading on that topic.

Insulting someone is illegal in Germany (§ 185 StGB). You can get financial penalties and in worst cases some jailtime. However, if you insult someone back immediately, those can cancel each other out and the judge can exempt both of you or one of you from punishment (§ 199 StGB). Furthermore, since it is considered a crime, you could, theoretically, detain the culprit in case they want to flee until you are able to get some identification on them, i.e., see their ID card, or until someone like the police arrives (§ 127 StPO). Also this is not okay if you already know the person or have easy means to determine their ID (e.g., your neighbour or someone working at a facility you visit). In all cases the proportionality of your actions are important. (Beating someone senseless just to detain them, because they called you an avocado in a mean way is certainly not okay. This might be slightly different however, if the person in question commited a violent crime and is still acting violently.)

Fodmaps are sugars and sugar alcohols that many people struggle to process well. Lactose intolerance is commonly known but there are lots of others. Wheat fructans are in most gluten containing foods and may be why some people find gluten free diets beneficial even if not coeliac.

Never heard of life traps. I googled it and it seems like marketing speak for psychological issues to deal with in therapy. Is that it means to you or something else?

If you're unsure which side of a path to be on especially with shared paths default to the national driving side. Bonus if you hear a bike bell don't jump to a side or call your dog into their path just keep doing what your doing

All salespeople in every shop have negotiation brackets (well perhaps except grocery supermarkets) for most products and are willing to go down on the price if that may encourage you to buy. The negotiation wiggle space is normally included in the price and yeah, they do know you're uncomfortable haggling and will go out of their way to not discourage you from purchase.

Also, but this is something I only heard from a colleague, you can negotiate up to 40% off if you convince them to purchase the product using their employee discount (so bulk price) and split the difference off the record.

Jazz was the most popular music during the 1st half of the XX century. It basically was what hip-hop is today, or rock was to the second half of the XX century.
