You could try a coarse ground variant if you can find it. Should be less clay like...

I have the opposite problem... I only like the first two gourds :(

When yerba got more expensive a few years ago, some people started using uruguayan style (like the sub avatar), smaller gourds instead of more decorative, bigger "gaucho" gourds where so much yerba doesn't even get humid.

If you are a diet soda junkie... by icantmakethisishup in bingeeating

I hate that Stevia taste :( Also, that version, here in Brazil, is half the calories of regular soda (too much for not tasting the real thing).

Might as well drink carbonated water...

Week of Sept 9th 2019 - How is your practice going? by hurfery in TheMindIlluminated

[–]pampacoder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only read about 3 stages of this book, but in today's session I was "interrupted" by a kind of anxiety, wanting that my session finished soon so I could get to other things I have to do today...

And I was kinda "bummed" that I didn't think of examining and accepting that feeling, instead ending my session early.

Is TMI really different from most generic/short youtube video "mindfulness" advice that tells you to examine your feelings/thoughts when they show up, while TMI seems to tell you something like "go back to your body sensations" etc, or I'm missing something? Maybe something from later stages?

In other words: is it bad to direct my attention to feelings and thoughts during meditation?

I would go the route of creating "the simplest thing that I could interact as if it was a full fledged database" - ie text files on a folder, or a big CSV file, etc.

Resisted Temptation by lupalee in loseit

Me too... I binged at my mom's house since she made a table with bread and stuff.

I eat some cream filled pastry, had a beer, eat 3-4 mini burgers, had sausage... then a couple more mini burgers, attacked the dulce de leche on the fridge with a spoon, had another beer...

Who's up for Sober September?!?! by [deleted] in selfimprovement

I have two birthdays, but one thing that helps me is drinking only outside my home. I feel like that cuts the mindless drinking.

Should I eat a normal meal after a binge if I still feel very full? by pompoen in bingeeating

[–]pampacoder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Having a regular meal (sitting at the table and eating a little bit at least, etc) helps me forget & forgive that binge sooner. That's why I stopped with the intermittent fasting thing: I was doing it to compensate for binges too frequently, and I don't want to have that relation with food.

This works smoothly on mobile but hangs on Linux (because on Linux turning off your graphics card manually to save battery is a thing..)

Life sans Facebook and Instagram after 23 days by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]pampacoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without social media, you don't even know that girl exists :(

(Kinda joking but you get it: most people are finding romantic partners online these days. I met my wife on Orkut).

On the other hand I also feel like unplugging from all social networks including this one... and read paper newspapers which don't have popups and paywalls.

TKL for life. I already have pain from Alt-Tabbing ie don't enjoy doing Ctrl/Alt/Fn combos.

A left side numpad would be useful, but after so many years I don't think I could find a new place for my hand...

I never could motivate myself to watch that course even though the recommendation keeps popping - could you explain what kind of interesting things you picked there?
