How not to live your life
Are you Mad?

Adults, in particular parents, sometimes seem to think that their advice given to (their) children is useless and bears no fruit. A new study finds, however, that even when children are apparently dismissive, they benefit from their mother's advice. See .

One of my friends is going through a tough time. Here is some advice I gave him in case you need it.

Be mindful of your emotions and check in with yourself. We move to get things done quickly but we don't always give ourself time to absorb and process things we endure.

Im looking for an analog dualband (70cm/2m) handheld radio for my backpack. I want it to be as small as possible. Like the Kenwood TH-F7 or the Baofeng UV3R.

What are your suggestions

For my QubesOS Summit talk, I will tell the story of the time I found someone on the Qubes forum with exactly my problem. Unfortunately, that poster from years ago was me, and all the replies were other hopefuls asking 'did you figure it out'

I will propose that we form and fund a squad of problem solvers who have a mandate to help solve individual user problems.

What do you think of that
What communities have tried something similar

Putting out an open call for to s... When a client says they're unhappy with your work without previous warning, feedback and little prior briefing or direction, ( specifically,) and imply they don't want you any more, how do you defend and win them back round

I've been writing letters more lately -- mostly to my bio-family. But it's gotten me wanting to try pen-palling again. But then I think about how every time I've done pen-palling, it's not really lasted. The reasons I came up with for this are things like I didn't know what to say, or felt awkward writing about my life due to some of the things I've been through that others either cannot relate to adoption at birth or that just make others uncomfortable no matter how it's spun I'm formerly homeless.

If you enjoy regular correspondence, I wonder if you might share what sort of topics you discuss And how do you maintain a steady correspondence -- even when y'all've been through some sour lemonade-life

Writing Tips 11 - More tips to help keep you writing

Most of you should probably just stay at home and not bother voting at all. You don't understand the issues and you haven't really been paying attention and anyway you live in a safe seat where your vote makes no difference at all.

If you feel like none of the candidates are really speaking for you, it's because they take you for granted and are happy that they live in a corrupt fraudulent voting system that excludes you from power. They honestly don't care if you participate.

The country demonstrating complete apathy at the whole situation and giving as little mandate as possible might well be the best message to send.

For the one quarter or so of you who do live in an actual marginal constituency, vote anyone who could possibly win that isn't the Big Two. A hung parliament is the best hope and you get that by voting for the underdogs where they can make a difference.

Everyone outside England should vote for anyone offering to leave Westminster entirely of course. The house is corrupt beyond repair.

In Richmond, vote Binface to take out the trash.

If you've been making risotto for a long time, can you share some advice

The old ways of stovetop would reduce heat fairly quickly if you went from highest to lowest heat setting (gas or coil electric). These newer glasstops retain heat much longer and will maintain a fast boil for 4+ minutes after turning to low. That's enough to really mess up a risotto recipe. Seriously, it was bad.

So I tried hovering the saucepan over, with enough space to keep a simmer, until the glasstop burner cooled off enough. That 'hack' was hard on the arms for 4-5 minutes, but the recipe still turned out great. It worked to save the food.

Then I tried running a second burner at low and transferring burners, which worked great too, albeit redundant. Just stuck with that method until tonight, when I hurt my hand because I forgot about the back up burner being on.

Kinda hoping someone has come up with a safer, smarter work around. If so, please share.

Advice

Someone asked me recently about the ability to "Read the Room" and whether or not this was a skill that can be developed. I certainly believe it is a skill and can be cultivated. Perhaps the most impactful maxim which can guide us in this regard was taught to me by a Jedi Knight who went by the name Zenchi from the Temple of the Jedi Order. He told me, "Learn to Observe without needing to React."

The Internet, particularly the social media algorithm demon, has created an incentive not just to React to everything, but to Observe specifically to React. In this way we often bias our interpretation of that which we observe with a skew towards the least charitable interpretation so that our reaction can be as extreme as possible.

To counteract this and hone this skill of reading the room, we can practice several behaviors that will improve our lives.

First, be the last person to speak in an interaction. When you allow everyone else to have their say, it gives you a chance to examine their perspectives and gauge their intentions.

Second, questions are better than statements. The cultivation of curiosity leads to more robust conversations. A statement can often be viewed as dismissive or ultimate in nature, sometimes leaving a conversation partner feeling as though there's nothing left to say. Curiosity, by contrast, is almost always viewed as an invitation to continue discourse.

Third, speak in a way that is pleasant. We've been taught to rely on flippancy and sarcasm in modern discourse as we assume the intentions of others or deliberately misconstrue them to make ourselves look superior. By engaging with someone in a pleasant way, we can disarm hostility. Even if others fail to uphold this standard, we will still maintain our own peace which is of a value beyond measure.
