Cognizant descent
  • Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It's harder to drift if you can fully saturate your thoughts with the book. The moments where your brain already understands where a sentence is going, that's when it gets bored and starts thinking of something else while your reading speed catches up. This made a huge difference for me and counterintuitively it significantly improved my reading comprehension and reduced those moments of getting to the bottom of the page, not knowing what you just read. It's like a disconnect between reading the words and processing them. It also just makes it less tedious to reread a section, since you're blasting through it so much faster. Seriously, give it a shot.

    There's speed reading apps that will flash the words at a faster pace so you have to keep up. Just bump up the speed til it's a little uncomfortable.

  • Tonight's debate pop quiz...
  • Was coverage CNN exclusive or what? How does that make any sense? Put all the media companies in there with cameras. How do we have better media presence on an Apple keynote than the presidential debate

  • Try speed reading. Like faster than is comfortable. I was the same way til I realized my casual reading pace is too slow to keep me interested. I still struggle to get interested but once I am, zooooom

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • I went from a Galaxy S20 to a Pixel 8 and frankly I miss the S20. Build quality sucks. My screen creaks and I hate the camera ridge especially. Whole thing feels cheap and it's not even very root friendly anymore like Nexus phones, which is the whole reason I got it.

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • Pixel phones are garbage compared to Nexus line at the time. Android is garbage now too, like the OP said. Chromebook is gonna have to turn itself into a real platform with powerful machines and software to ever be relevant beyond disposal classroom computers. Frankly I think SteamOS has a better chance at making a comeback, and that's a long shot.

  • I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.
  • Never buy chain pizza at menu price. They all run specials all the time, that are around half off. They keep menu prices high so that they can constantly run buy one get one promos and specials to make you think you're getting a deal. They also happen to gouge people who won't bother checking the deals section

  • Sony Picks Worst Way To Make PSVR 2 Compatible With PC
  • Wonder if that strictly means lessons learned in development, or if it hints at onboard processing like a Quest. I've been more impressed with smaller headsets like bigscreen than standalone units lately

  • Dreams of AI
  • You also need to factor in opportunity cost or concede that your free time doesn't have value.

    If you value your free time at the same rate that you work hourly, then suddenly it's very hard to save money by spending more time. If you value free time as overtime equivalent, it gets even worse.
