Yeah been an on/off problem of mine for half my life now, something about both the nicotine and the ritual. I haven't really found anything to replace it with, chewing gum kinda does it a little bit but it's not quite the same.

I used to take my glasses cleaning cloth and roll it up like if I was rolling a cigarette, then run my thumb and finger down it because it has that nice velour(?) texture, that's another one that relaxed me but I haven't done it in forever.

Spotify supports one of the companies building drones to help defend Ukraine? I don't see the downside to this. Without companies like them, Ukraine would absolutely not be able to hold the line. If anything, as someone living in neighbouring Poland, it makes me feel much better about the idea of renewing my sub.

I do understand the reluctance to support any sort of defense/military company, but come on, helping defend Ukraine (and by extension, the rest of Europe) is a little different than the companies spending billions on weapons to be used in the middle east.

I seem to recall the one for Root was particularly bad, can't remember for the others.

I had an uncanny experience like that as a teenager with an "NPC like" character. I was walking around a small cul-de-sac, and there was an older woman standing in front of her house, completely frozen in place, just staring off into the distance blankly.

As I'm walking past she suddenly looked at me and barked out rather aggressively "Do you know what time it is?"

I checked the time on my phone and told her it. She snapped "NO! It's [completely different time]", she sounded angry as hell, I actually got a little scared.

Then she just glared at me in complete silence.

I started walking away and she just turned her head, watching me, but not saying another word.

She didn't move from the spot she was standing on.

That said I blame dementia, psychosis, drugs, or otherwise failing mental health before I'd jump to the nothing is real or everything is a simulation conclusion, but it was definitely such an uncanny feeling situation that it stuck with me to this day.

I'm not aware of any other public 2009scape servers other than the official one, I figure most people who want multiplayer with more than just a small group of friends just play there.

But I'll second what slazer said, grab the singleplayer version and play that. That's what I do when my OSRS sub isn't active. About to boot it up and play a little as we speak actually!

I like this site for calculating where you line up strength standard wise. It's not perfect but I think the numbers it gives are pretty reasonable.

As for your question, I'm not sure of my actual 10RM but the last weight I lifted for 10+ reps was I believe 112.5kg, @ 79kg BW.

I always use a timer to start off but sometimes will switch off the timer and continue meditating for an unspecified amount of time on days where I feel up to it.

Without a timer I tend to start wandering off into thoughts about whether or not I've been meditating long enough, and I find that incredibly distracting from the process. When I know I have a timer/alarm going off at the right length of time, I can put my mind to rest and not think about how long I've been meditating.

Also if I'm getting back into meditation after a period of not keeping up with it, I sometimes break my meditation down into smaller chunks. Even though I meditate for the same length of time, having alarms spaced closer together makes me feel like it's taking less time, so eases me back into longer sessions.

I struggle with this a lot, it doesn't help that I have crippling social anxiety so I already feel nervous about reaching out, then proceed to forget, then feel 10x as nervous because I feel guilty about my delayed response. All of that results in me not responding for even longer and making it worse.

Then I finally respond, feel so rubbish about the whole thing that it takes me forever to respond again.

So many of my online friendships have turned into basically penpal type arrangements because I get so delayed with my responses because of this.

I know this is a super old thread but just wanted to chime in and say Obsidian has been life-changing for me. I am a disorganised mess, but before Obsidian it was 100x worse. I tried other note-taking apps but the thing I liked about Obsidian is it's really an app that grows with you.

You start off barebones and you build up your plugins, note templates etc until you craft an app that works exactly the way you want it.

Other apps I felt like I had to fight them to get them to do what I wanted. My Obsidian works the way -I- decided I wanted it to work.

I can touch type. A typing teacher would probably be horrified at my form because I followed absolutely no rules about finger placement whatsoever, but I hit a peak 138wpm before so I feel zero need to change to a more conventional style.

For what it’s worth, funny story but I learned both to touch type and to type so fast from playing Runescape.

Back before they added a central auction house you used to have to sit and type like “white:wave2:selling rune scimmy 25k - camel” amongst a sea of people doing the same thing when looking to buy/sell items. And your text disappeared after a few seconds so you had to keep repeating it over and over. I used to trade like that for hours every day and that repetition of just typing things over and over really quickly taught me to type like I do now.

Absolutely. For what it's worth, if you like the stimulating effects of caffeine, and hot drinks - you're better off with black tea. Theanine as found in tea significantly reduces the jitters and anxiety from caffeine, so tea tends to cause less anxiety than coffee even if you drink enough to consume a comparable amount of caffeine.

You can also just take theanine supplements alongside your coffee. Can work wonders if you're feeling anxious from it.

But it's still not a perfect solution and you're better off just avoiding caffeine entirely. Easier said than done though and I'm sitting here drinking my 4th coffee of the day so.. can't say I'm the best at it myself.
