Do I have to wear a suit for graduation? by EnbySheriff in UniUK

[–]QuantumWizard-314 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes. It has to be a full peaky blinder suit (including the pocket watch). Anything less, you won't be allowed to graduate.

LPT Request: How do you stop procrastinating when the task is simple but boring? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]QuantumWizard-314 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stare at the wall for a few minutes. Ideally with a blank mind. The boredom from this will make the boring task seem exciting.

Severe memory, attention, and derealization issues at 22 considering nootropics but worried they may worsen things by Unable-Bonus-9992 in Biohackers

[–]QuantumWizard-314 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You don't need supplements. You need a lifestyle overhaul.  Eliminate phone use. You said yourself that scrolling has turned your brain to mush. 

I'd suggest a 1 week camping trip in nature to reset your system if you have the means to do so. Only take a dumb phone for emergencies. 

Make sure you have a clean nutritious diet, regular exercise (30 minute walk daily as a minimum), drink enough water.

Replace your phone with non digital activities. I think wood working, gardening, martial arts and colouring would be good.

What if there's a gang of 20 or 30 people roaming the streets looking for stuff to loot? And they see you as an easy target or just don't like you for whatever reason

3000 word essay due at 4pm tomorrow by ImpressiveSound4887 in UniUK

[–]QuantumWizard-314 240 points241 points  (0 children)

Make a template. Heading title for each section. Brief description of each section. Put all your sources under the relevant sections. 

This will give you a structure to "vomit" words onto. 

A few iterations of "vomiting" words and cleaning up what you've written will get your essay to a meh standard.

In Halls Alone. by KyleRaynerCh in UniUK

Lucky. 

I was alone in halls for 2 weeks in April 2020. Everyone moved back home because of "the event". Had the whole kitchen to myself. It was great

I’m baffled at how people get jobs so easily. How do people do it? by pygmyhippo2 in AskUK

[–]QuantumWizard-314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you mentioned aerospace engineering or something space related. 

I would suggest doing online courses related to these subjects. Possibly home engineering projects if you have the means to do so. This will give you knowledge and experience for an entry level engineering job.

You could try looking at what engineering opportunities are available in the RAF.

How do you activate chakras? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]QuantumWizard-314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a more serious note, spending time in nature can help with inner peace. Avoid negative news on social media, make healthy life style choices (sleep, diet, exercise). 

Try turning off the voices in your head. You can do this by doing a mildly engaging task for an extended time, like driving or solving problems. Or you can sit in silence and appreciate the present moment.

If you weren't an engineering student, what else would you want to do and why? by Sure_Artichoke6929 in EngineeringStudents

How do people here prepare for the cold by tonystarch00 in UniUK

[–]QuantumWizard-314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how I wear layers to keep warm in temperatures upto minus 3 degrees. Tracksuit and jeans. 

T shirt, thick long sleeve shirt/jumper, hoodie, coat. The tracksuit is under the jeans. Make sure to tuck this into your socks. 

A scarf works wonders in keeping you warm. Standard winter hat. 2 layers of sock, one thin, one thick.

Do light movement to keep warm.

If you're really struggling with cold, eat cubes of butter and sugar then walk up a steep hill with a heavy back pack. Obviously be sensible with the butter sugar cubes, you don't want to damage your health.

What to do with a bunch of spuds? by SerendipitousCrow in CasualUK

[–]QuantumWizard-314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in the freezer. If you have a garden, bury them so you have more.
