  • It depends. Many people have something odd going on here and there, but most of it doesn’t really require medical intervention. Some of those things actually go away sooner or later anyway, so an intervention can do more harm than good. Chances are, it’s just going to freak you out for nothing, and cost you money.

    The thing is, you never know. There’s always a chance that something truly horrifying is brewing inside you, and ignoring it is going to cost you your life, or worse. What if you’re one of the lucky few who need to get something fixed before it becomes a serious issue? Who knows.

    The way I see it, the expected value of this equation is pretty harmless. If you feel completely normal, it’s probably nothing.












  • Everything needs to have a place: box, drawer, hook, jar, bin, anything. If it doesn’t have a place, it’s just going to end up randomly anywhere and everywhere.

    You need to decide a fixed place for everything. There needs to be a fixed place for yarns, maybe multiple places for different types of yarn. There should be a specific location for fabrics. If there’s not enough floor space, start using the walls. Even the ceiling is a place where you can attach hooks, loops and whatnot.

    You just need to make a hundred little decisions while organizing everything, but once that’s done you can skip the burdensome decisions in the future and simply follow the system you built earlier. Once there’s a system, don’t deviate from it, and that requires some discipline. If following it becomes a routine, you no longer have to spend much mental energy in sustaining it.









  • I kinda get it where MS is coming from with this decision, but I don’t approve of it at all. They want to be more user friendly with all audiences, so that they can sell excel to small farmers in France, who definitely don’t speak a word of English. I guess that attitude should tell you that doing serious calculations wasn’t the main goal here, even though nearly everyone is using Excel that way.

    This application is a victim of its widespread success. People make some pretty intense things with it that definitely call for switching to Python, R, C#, fortran or whatever. Because of that, serious professionals can’t avoid it any more. They can’t just treat it as a fun little toy it really is.
