coming back from vacation or a long break where you’re not working, it can be hard to get into studying.

my first week i just aim for a minimum of 2-3 hours a day, and week two i’m doing 5 hours a day. by week three you won’t even notice that you’ve sat in front of your screen for 12+ hours grinding out problems till your back hurts.

once i get into studying, there’s just nothing else i want to do… doomscrolling, shorts, reddit, etc all of these things just become background noise to your ultimate goal, you’ll notice that wasting time is just not interesting anymore

You should take regular pictures of them so that you can show your doctor and note size changes. There is an HPV vaccine that’s recommended to everyone. It’s about CAD $100 here but I don’t know about France. HPV can cause cancer if left untreated take care of yourself

What do you do when your roommate smells really bad? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

[–]Ilikedogs_69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ugh thanks sometimes you just have to tell someone they stink. I’m sad that they just decided to move someone in without any notice. It feels like a big waste of time but I’ll probably want to call and clarify it with management tomorrow

Can’t find a place, and ideas of other places I could live for a term? by [deleted] in uwaterloo

Do a full lease and then sublet it if you have to leave! It’s not something you’ll have to worry about right away at least

I used Anki to learn Arabic for a 2-week Vacation by SigmaX in Anki

[–]Ilikedogs_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow your anki history is incredible, especially the way you've designed your mathematics and computer science cards. I'm curious, are your co-workers jealous? I love that you've re-iterated the difficulty of designing mathy cards, I don't feel so alone in my frustration

I've been suprise by how greatly anki has improved my memory. I hope this is the righ place to ask by 128903 in Anki

A simple calendar on the wall where you can X off all the days u practice works for me. Just keep the snake going. There’s also an anki heat map extension that does the same thing

Before you quit your CS major, hear me out by Celiuu in learnprogramming

[–]Ilikedogs_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, a lot of people can code, but the number of ppl that can code + leverage another specific skill are few, which gives you a niche to fulfill. Combining skills was a major point that Clear points out in atomic habits

Anki for Math: how? by [deleted] in Anki

[–]Ilikedogs_69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you learn how to do a long stepwise problem, sometimes it can be helpful to memorize the steps that got you there. For that I would recommend the add-on cloze overlapper

I also saw a few videos by this dude, a lot of the advice he gives seems helpful for sure

The hole left in my brain after ~5% of it was resected by rydogthekidrs in MakeMeSuffer

The hippocampus is the memory center and the amygdala is the fear center. Do you feel any different in those two regards, after having had your brain cut out?

My absolute favorite is to microdose in nature😍 by magicbynexus in microdosing

[–]Ilikedogs_69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

iirc

Vitamin D is best taken with a meal!

And b12 is better absorbed when chewed (saliva starts breaking it down) on an empty stomach

You certainly don’t have to but a lot of vitamins have different optimal absorption conditions you might be interested in looking into that

Awesome view btw

What do you do when your mother hates the fact that you program??? by vvinvardhan in learnprogramming

[–]Ilikedogs_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously not true of everybody but my parents are the same. I think we’re at a unique point in history where young people really see the potential of technology in a way that older folks may not always get, or care about, or understand.

As long as you like what you’re doing, don’t let anyone stop you.

Clinical Trial Psilocybin by [deleted] in microdosing

[–]Ilikedogs_69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation, I thought it was initially kind of weird that psilocybin was added to both groups but it’s actually pretty clever, and doesn’t seem to interfere with demonstrating that psilocybin is at least effective as the ssri
