The gardener in my last apartment replaced all of his powertools (mower, blower, trimmer, …) with electric ones powered by an accu-pack he carries on his back. This is an absolute game-changer! I could actually sit outside again and even do stuff for work, when he was there.

Key point: „To be secure, you should always use the latest long-term stable kernel. The key word here is "latest." It's not enough to use an LTS […] [or at least] Continuously update to the latest kernel release, either major or stable.“

Planmäßig 45 min an 6 Tagen die Woche, im Schnitt. Realistisch eher an 4-5 Tagen, dafür auch mal länger. 3-3,5 h Sport pro Woche kann ich guten Gewissens einbuchen.

Build a consistent bodywork routine. Don’t bother with any high-flying goals, just stay active. A 30 minute routine done consistently every day beats hulking out in the gym two times a week by a lot. Fokus on functional mobility and flexibility exercises and throw in some full-body strength work like pull-ups, push-ups and squats.

All sorts of bean stew. Legumes are filling, rich in protein and fiber, and really easy to prepare. Make them with coconut cream and curry, olive oil and garlic, in a veggie broth … cheap, tasty and loads of variety.

In my corner of the world, most CPs are also PTs. Or rather the other way around: they use chiropractic as one of many therapeutic means in their portfolio. I have to say, I very much appreciate this approach, as it relives the initial pain/discomfort but also addresses the underlying problem.

When I got heavily involved in karate and kickboxing, training barefoot 5x per week, I lost almost two shoe-sizes. After I stopped, I gained them back year by year. Now I wear mostly barefoot shoes and again have lost at least one size. I attribute it to the ability of your feet muscles to maintain the arc and keep your middle foot together,

When you dissolve instant coffee directly into hot water, the amylum contained in the granules hardens, creating a powdery taste and consistency. By mixing the granules with cold water first, they dissolve more gently once introduced to hot water.

I found this technique makes for a richer and more flavourful coffee experience. Allegedly also because aromatics evaporate slower.

I used to avoid instant coffee until I read this somewhere and tried it. It definitely changed my coffee game. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

Absolutely. Quality instant coffee tastes as good as a regular brew, when prepared correctly: dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water.

True. I tried some other rather light-weight distros but no other gave me a comparable polished experience.

Tried it out as a last resort on an old ThinkPad … and had it running for some 5 years. This is a seriously good daily driver!
