A thought crossed my mind today: “If you knew someone was dying, how would you treat them?” If you knew someone was on the final few days/weeks/months of their life, how would you act toward them? Would you be more kind? Would you say...
The truly killer app of Android and why I can never return to an iPhone is Termux. If you don’t use a computer to its fullest potential, this won’t make much sense, but for me, I don’t really see myself returning to a device that doesn’t...
If we explore Infinity: There is a highest and best version of you. There is a version of you in the Multiverse that is the Ultimate You. He does all of the right things: He does not eat shit food. He does not watch mind numbing...

When you look around, you are looking at a series of decisions that you have made over the course of your life. Do you like what you see? The place that you live, the car that you drive, your physical appearance, how much money you have...
Coconut oil is a God given spectacular use case for numerous things. You can use it to cook (don’t believe the talk of how it’s ‘bad’ for you), you can use it on your body, hell, you can use it as sexual lubricant. However, the greatest...
After posting my setup to r/unixporn I received many questions about my system, why I do things certain ways, and what programs I use to achieve a “Tranquil” computing environment Questions such as: “Why do you use that program or this...
So you want to get more done? It seems that every single life hack blog post in the last decade has fetishised this. So, naturally, I am going to tell you the truth - Cold showers do boost your testosterone and will make you a million...
