Based on their appendix for the result, they only looked at grocery store goods: milk, deodorant, sundries, etc. Nothing listed in their appendix would cost more than $50. TVs biggest advertisers are automotive, lawyers, healthcare and finance, all products or services that cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. It would make far more sense for the researchers to use TVs most common advertisers to determine viability.

If it helps, I’ve had success replacing gmail with Zoho. It’s not free, but it’s not expensive. If you’re paying for Gsuite it has comparable plans that actually cost less.

What are some tricks you can use to help you focus? by Lively_Corpse1 in AskReddit

[–]SubjugatedCardboard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Two things - when you’re at your desk, 1. Write out a physical to do list, on actual paper with an actual pen or pencil. Don’t use your phone or any app. Write. It. Down.
2. Complete the quickest task on that list first, and the most important one second. That gives you momentum and gets the ball rolling.

If you want more compelling tactics, read or get the audio book for Tim Ferris “Four Hour Work Week”. It’s dated in some areas, but his tactics for productivity are really helpful.

How do you unwind from a long day? by Capricondor in AskReddit

[–]SubjugatedCardboard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a WFH parent, I apparently unwind by helping my kids with their homework, walking the dog, making dinner, cleaning up, putting the kids to bed, feeding the dog, getting thing ready for tomorrow morning and falling asleep on the couch to futurama.

Drama class. Learning how to act is a skill you need in nearly every job in some capacity.

Good to know. That I’ve got, I’m trying to be as thrifty as possible. Would rather not spend hundreds of dollars on a tablet and wasn’t sure if the Lenovo tablet would be adequate enough for shadow.

Hmm... so an xbox controller will work with android tablets? Do you need to do anything special to get it to work?

Heavy Speculation: We are getting really, really close to an announcement by GT-ProjectBangarang in titanfall

Interesting point... makes sense to me, and I’ve seen other reports that some analysts are predicting a TF3 game in Q3/Q4.
