I memorized the following: "Port wine is red, and none is left in the morning"

Therefore Port - Left and Red and the other "Starboard" is Right and Green.

Number 1 stabilize sleep (go to bed at the same time every day and wake up without an alarm) you can use otc remedies like Tylenol pm and melatonin to help you start this habit.

Number 2 look at other things like nutrition, hydration, and exercise to get them to average

Number 3 happiness and meaningful Ness are not the same thing. Having kids makes you suffer more and become less happy, but you often feel your life is more meaningful. So ask yourself what cause is worth sacrificing happiness to? Then start doing it. Soon your happiness set point will adjust to include this meaningful Ness perspective and being unhappy won't feel tiring

I'm an athorist. I don't believe in Thor God of thunder. No comment on the definition you were talking about. :P (Psst, I do believe in a diety, but I can't talk about it here!)

My understanding is that the trinity from the nicene creed is a political document (not truthful nor religious) and it was designed to be universal(a translation of catholic) so that natives in each land (Christians and pagans) could have lip service that "we believe what you do" by the political catholic clergy who were the only ones allowed to interpret scriptures (or you had a Heretic death penalty) until the political power was secured, and after power was secured, a creed and rosary was enough to keep free thinking in line.

Well, something that the Mormons have is they tried out communism. They called it the law of consecration. They had some fun times with trying to handle being productive and redistribution and poligamous. They ultimately concluded that they weren't ready for it yet so they went back to default capitalism with tithing and poor/fast offerings.

Tl;dr: Mormons believe in a kind of communism in heaven, and they go hungry for 2 meals (24 hrs) to remember to give generously to the poor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_consecration?wprov=sfla1

I have been thinking about further tips that have helped me. I have felt like my happiness set point has moved lower over time ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-being_contributing_factors ).

I have tried the following interventions stabilizing sleep, exercise (focus on cardio and stretching), cognitive behavioral therapy (which backfired spectacularly), religious texts, pgarmaceuticals, and platitude/mantra meditation.

Some insights that may help:

  • daily short religious text study is helpful. It has diminishing returns, so set a timer if you spend longer than 15 mins.
  • negative thoughts and experiences envelop like a blanket and affect every fiber of your personality. Attempting to do the opposite with platitudes is hard work (almost like flexing your abs before lifting something heavy), but doing so with thoughtful platitudes can make a positive self fulfilling prophesy.
  • platitudes used in this manner are most effective if used with purpose: what do you want right now that is difficult? Now I believe these platitudes that strengthen me because I want x!

Good luck, I genuinely hope you feel better.

Hi internet stranger. I hope you feel better. A reverse psychology method that helps me is to watch https://youtu.be/LO1mTELoj6o

Holy clothing must not be damaged unless you plan to do the ritual of discarding (shred abd burn). As a windbreaker has at least 4 holes when worn correctly, it is indeed holy.

That's ice damming. Basically it can be prevented with proper ventilation of roof cladding/shingle nail board. Normally eaves, baffles, and turtle/ridge vents will be enough to prevent icicles more than. 6 in long.

I want a tale of deliverance from pharaoh across the red Sea that feels like playing skyrim (crazy magic going on! And civil war progression)

So once long ago, there was a legendary thankgiving stomach bug that invoked the powerful "double dragon" where both ends of the digestive system would violently expel all ammo at the same time for 3 days. I inquired of a grandfather, and this is his remedy.

  1. take a half cup of plain yogurt with active cultures (no sugar added if possible)
  2. obtain 5-7 fresh garlic cloves and mince then crush.
  3. mix the two together and let sit at room temperature for a half hour
  4. eat the entire mixture.

Note that during this event, I had early symptoms that invoked the first stage of the double dragon. I then judiciously obtained the material components for this remedy. I followed the steps and during step 4, I actually felt more and more unwell with each bite. I also may have started sweating. After about 1 hour, I then had a marked improvement i.e. nausea of a 7/10 decreased to a 2/10, and I had a spike of renewed energy. This benefit lasted ~8hrs. I had no double dragon symptoms during the period that others in my close family were at their worst. I typically have an "average" stomach compared to my family members, so this gave strong evidence that this remedy was effective.

My grandfather claimed to use it while flying overseas and doing business and eating weird stuff and getting food poisoning but still needing to get work done.

 

Per wikipedia, over the counter (OTC) nasal decongestants are great unless the only one available in my area is a placebo like phenylephrine.

I recently have had a cold that included some coughs and congestion. I found the following home remedy would immediately clear my congestion with few to no side effects:

  1. Obtain OTC Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2).
  2. dilute in a small container (approx 15ml water and 15 ml H2O2)
  3. gargle like mouth wash and breath through your nose if possible (note that this will likely cause a sneeze or coughing fit)
  4. spit out all gargle, sneeze, and/or cough sputum and blow your nose.

Based on this process, I have found that the normally sticky "infected" yellow sputum has foamy edges and does not stick to my body. In addition, a violent cough with this H2O2 mouth wash recently coating my mouth will cause some reflux of air to my ears, nose, and stomach (as such I have to burp and let my ears drain). When there is a slight amount of H2O2 in the back of my throat, the ears seem to drain faster and easier, and the nose is easier to clear with regular blowing into a tissue.

Based on my personal experience, this is very effective at "accelerating symptoms" so that they are a non issue while I am trying to do something else e.g. sleep or be a functional adult at work.

I want to install a local version of this game in the link and preferably open source. I searched "shape game" and couldn't find anything.

Use case: before operating heavy machinery, I want to "pass" this game at 8 seconds
