The hotel with infinite rooms is a thought experiment meant to show how counter-intuitive the concept of infinity is. It’s not a riddle to be solved.

That being said, the idea that an infinite number of guests must be leaving the hotel at any point in time in certainly insightful and creative.

If you wanna go real crazy, take a look at these:

They have integrated hardware, so they are great for all sorts of electronics projects. A bit more towards electrical engineering than raspberry pi though.

Huh?

I swear by this book. I have MS, and the muscle tension that sometimes come with it, and the self-massage techniques in this book keep me functioning and sane.

A consistent yoga practice helps too, but you should always learn from someone who is actually qualified, you can really hurt yourself doing yoga if you don’t know what you are doing.

That’s a good point, habit is a powerful thing, and so is generational experience.

I like my BT headphones for doing things like vacuuming around the house. There are definitely advantages to wireless. But when I’m on the PC I’m happy to just plug in and forget.

Indeed. I don’t get it.

I prefer an aux cable headset. No charging, no connection issues, and the quality is always 100%. You will also never have compatibility issues.

Might not be for you, but just a thought.

First off, you are not pathetic, the world is depressing. And just having the intent to do this is a great start. Be kind to yourself, no one else can do that for you.

The first thing to do is forget all of those grand ideas about having a giant garden with all sorts of produce. Even if that is your end goal, don’t think about that! It will only demotivate you, because it seems so far away from where you are now.

The second thing to do is go to your local library and get some books about gardening. The simpler the better, is they have gardening books for kids then start with those.

Read those books. Take some easy examples, like herbs, lettuce, or garlic. Start small, and don’t overdo yourself. Try to enjoy what you are doing, and stay with the present task. Don’t push yourself immediately to do more.

Let that enjoyment be your guide. If you can focus on feeling good about what you are doing, then the rest will come without effort.

Nice

I found a new entry for the bucket list: ass plasma!

This. Exactly this. Thank you.

Chimpanzees are considerably better than us at short-term memory.

No, it’s fedora.

I’m not deaf, but just in case you don’t get an answer that stems from personal experience:

Your hearing loss in the one ear is (I’m assuming) caused by the ear canal being blocked. Your sensory organ still hears you chewing because the sound is transferred through the bones of your skull to your ear.

A deaf person has a different problem: their sensory organ is damaged or missing, so it doesn’t matter where the sound comes from, they don’t hear it.

By all psychologists?

I agree that there is some stupid stuff being done in the name of science, 100%. But the discipline isn’t really the deciding factor imho.

If you are interested, here is sabine explaining how academic is fundamentally broken.

Absolutely, yes.

The scientific method is an empirical method for acquiring knowledge through careful observation, rigorous skepticism, hypothesis testing, and experimental validation.

Any observable phenomenon should be studied using the scientific method. The alternatives are superstition or ignorance.

Psychology is a good example. It has been limited by our technology and our morals. The human brain is extremely complicated, and we cannot just disrupt peoples lives to create ideal testing conditions. But that doesn’t mean that psychology is not science. It just means that it has unique challenges.

Personal Taste ≠ Bigotry

It is ridiculous to think that anyone has to like or prefer something. That’s like saying there is something wrong for not liking the taste of licorice. If she thinks two girls kissing is gross, that’s fine, she is allowed to feel how she feels. If she thinks that two girls kissing is wrong on some moral or ethical level she is being a bigot.

There is a huge difference there, and it is extremely important in today’s world to understand this difference.
