For me it’s Avatar the last airbender I just love how wholesome it is xD

I have read the whole book and have meditated accordingly for a year or so. I agree that it's not that science based. But I still found it super cool that it is a very analytical or 'scientific' approach in that it is very algorithmic and clear what you do when. There are some parts that are a bit unclear, but all in all I really enjoyed the "if you are there, do that" kind of approach.

Do you have any other book recommendations that are more science based?

Well put. i guess you're right. I know that Shinzen Young is trying to do some of that kind of research. But in general the only thing I've heard of are studies in the direction of mindfulness. And afaik there's a bunch of studies showing positive benefits to that. And in a way most meditation techniques, while not focusing on mindfulness, do require it to work. At least in one way or another. But you're right. For me at least I know it is a good thing and that's enough for me.

The way Reddit did this was by just giving out a token, that could be done in the same way here on lemmy, I think that would solve the issue.

Now it’s true that you will be redirected to the site (here lemmy) but that’s the same on all services, as a user one needs to check the host name and certificate of the site they’re directed to.

I mean you’re right, but I think there will be some time before everything becomes so integrated that we really do t have to learn anymore. Right now for example we have good translation, but learning a language is still immensely helpful when you’re trying to communicate in another country. I think there will be things like that for quite a while.

I'm kinda similar to that. I used to read a lot of fantasy but now often I find the characters kind of lacking. Maybe I'm remembering wrongly but that's why I really loved the earthsea saga. It had all of the fantasy elements, but I remember reading it and feeling it had more depth than a lot of other fantasy.

Helicopter lessons are expensive :'(

Although that is changing slowly. PWAs are starting to get more and more support for APIs on the devices. For example if you install te Microsoft teams app, afaik it’s also just a web app, but bundled with all the rest so that it seems like a normal app.

PWA’s can even have hardware GPU support nowadays.

I don’t do inverted. I just add coffee and fill up the aeropress with boiling water. Then I put in the plunger to keep the water from dripping. After a minute or so I’ll do one swirl to get the grounds to sink to the bottom. The I way for like five to ten minutes and press slowly.

I use one filter and usually go for a light roast. I also tried stirring with a spoon but I seem to prefer the swirl

Well yeah, I just wait until I ate something and often not that long at all. But interestingly longer steep times don't seem to lead to overextraction. Here's a blog post about that: https://coffeeadastra.com/2021/09/07/reaching-fuller-flavor-profiles-with-the-aeropress/ check out the TL;DR at the end!

Hmm well then :D I'll continue and hopefully finish in time. But it is really long haha

But I just love the worldbuilding there and how it plays with disinformation. You can understand why everyone does the things they do, but sometimes you're just like NOOOOO, don't do that, they're on your side xD

What is your opinion on the wheel of time? I’m reading it currently, crown of swords I think. I really enjoy it, but at times I feel like there are some random plot twists haha

“Das BAMF hat also offenbar einen hohen Aufwand betrieben, um ein Konstrukt zu finden, mit dem sich die Eigenheiten einer Blockchain so umgehen lassen, dass sie zu geltenden Datenschutzbestimmungen passen” Tja Also bis heute verstehe ich diesen Hype um blockchain immer noch nicht so ganz

Yeah, but that's what I mean. If you just put the plunger in, you get a similar thing with the steeping time really high. But no need for the actual inverted method :D
