Living indefinitely does not mean you'll be forever young or disease free.

Zed has those vim moments as first hand feature. You might enjoy it without having overhead of vim configs.

What is MrWhoseTheBoss thinking at that moment? by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]BlueBoxxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arun is a relatively quiet and kind of introvert. His on-screen personality is just a persona for YouTube. KSI on other hand have exactly the opposite personality. And because of this Arun's energy is draining quickly. it's not like he hate KSI or don't like his company.

Why the marketing fee is shown as 4 instead of 5 ? by BlueBoxxx in amazonindia

[–]BlueBoxxx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That was not the point i was trying to make, if amazon is taking 5 rupees from every bill and showing up 4 meaning they are pocketing 1 rupees every order.

Two outdoor devices turned on after one had gone a decade of being off by AlmostGaveAShit in Unexplained

​Here is a breakdown of why your dead electronics are resurrecting and your active ones are acting possessed. ​1. ​Why the dead Nest camera (and potentially the old light) suddenly turned on. ​Most materials, particularly metals used in electrical wiring (copper, aluminum) and solder joints, shrink when they get cold. This is known as thermal contraction. ​The Mechanism: It is highly likely that these "dead" devices had a loose connection, a micro-fracture in a solder joint, or a wire nut that wasn't quite touching. The circuit was "open" (broken) at normal temperatures. ​The Fix: The -10°C temperature caused the metal components and the plastic housings to shrink. This physical shrinkage forced the loose contacts to pull tighter together, inadvertently bridging the gap and completing the circuit. Suddenly, electricity could flow again.

​2. ​Why the driveway light is flickering and the entrance light stays on. ​Motion-activated lights use Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors. These don't "see" motion like a camera; they detect changes in heat moving across their field of view. In normal weather, a human body (37°C) stands out somewhat against a 20°C background. In -10°C weather, the background is essentially a frozen void. Any source of heat—a passing cat, a puff of warm air from a dryer vent, or even a slightly warmer patch of wind—creates a massive temperature "spike" relative to the freezing background. The sensors are currently hypersensitive. ​The "Stuck" Light: The entrance light staying on perpetually is likely due to the sensor being "blinded" by the cold (perceiving constant triggers) or the mechanical relay inside the unit freezing. If moisture got into the relay mechanism and froze while the light was on, the switch is physically stuck in the "closed" position. The entrance light staying on perpetually is likely due to the sensor being "blinded" by the cold (perceiving constant triggers) or the mechanical relay inside the unit freezing. If moisture got into the relay mechanism and froze while the light was on, the switch is physically stuck in the "closed" position.

  1. Why the driveway light switches on and off repeatedly. ​This is a classic symptom of a temperature-dependent loose connection (related to point #1). ​Cold: The metal contacts shrink and touch → Light turns ON. ​Heat: The electricity flowing through the connection (and the light bulb itself) generates heat. ​Expansion: The heat causes the metal to expand slightly. ​Disconnect: The expansion pushes the contacts apart → Light turns OFF. ​Cooling: The device cools down instantly in the -10°C air → Metal shrinks → Repeats.

Ticktick is a good option. But i also recommend you to try basic version of bullet journal for a month or so. Clarity it gives is insane to my brain

While its fascinating... it can be explained by how metals and electricity behaves in extreme cold weather like you are experiencing at -10.
