Max's preference and ability to handle a very pointy front-end allows for more control of the aero across the entire car and is generally regarded as the best (fastest) way to design a car. Checo (as well as many other drivers) do not handle that set up as well. Newey's talent is undeniable, too.

I've been using Logseq for a couple of months. Generally very happy with it. I previously used Roam and prefer the local markdown files vs cloud.

What resources do other users find most useful for Advanced Query documentation and discussion? The official documentation is bleak. I've become comfortable with Datascript and for the most part built out what I need. But nearly all of the really helpful insights and tips have come from random gists and forum posts none of which I have seen in any documentation. Most Google searches bring up pages of examples that are exact copy/pastes of other pages, gists...

I've actually increased the amount of inboxes (especially email). I label into category/topic (eg finance) and sometimes sub-topic (eg taxes) inboxes based on sender or subject/message content. It keeps my main inbox clean and easy to go through. Alert type emails (calendar invites, password resets etc.) stay in the main inbox.

I keep my work and tech inboxes open throughout the day. Things like news, finance/markets, etc. I check every few days. Others I check whenever they're relevant (taxes, cooking, entertainment etc.)

It took a lot of work to set up but it works well for me.

For message apps I just rely on the notifications.

6. When outside, treat your phone like it’s a book

I do this. But I think of my phone as a toolbox. I grab it when I need it to do something for me.

I agree. I wasn’t trying to place blame merely stating that there are ways to make the experience personal and closed to the people you know only. The sentence following the one you’re referring to was meant to convey your sentiments.

The app itself can quickly turn into a never-ending scroll of infomercials from ads and accounts if you go beyond your social circle. Even if said accounts are not directly selling a product through the store feature, it's often advertising a desirable lifestyle not your own and general consumerism. How many photos are staged versus candid? This type of content-as-ad imagery is what the app lends itself best to versus any other social media app. Of course, you can just not follow any of these accounts or limit them or have better self control over your time spent there. But, the company is also probably working against your best interests, bottom line and all that...

I went to a few during late summer around Bushwick and East New York. They're happening regularly. One I went to was in a basement of an unfinished apartment building.

"Moreover, it appears that the relationships between the dark side of human personality and right-wing political orientation and extremism, respectively, are relatively independent from each other. That is, that the endorsement of extreme political orientations is associated with the dark side of human personality is not a consequence of voters scoring high in the Dark Tetrad being more politically right-leaning."[0]

This is also one of the references for this study.

people with anxieties or other fear-based conditions typically will breathe way too much. So what happens when you breathe that much is you're constantly putting yourself into a state of stress. So you're stimulating that sympathetic side of the nervous system

you can over breathe when people at a gym or when people are jogging you see them really going to get the maximum amount of oxygen in that's not what is happening to your body so you are offloading the co2 by offloading too much co2 you're causing constriction in your circulation

It's a well intentioned, although poorly thought out, way of "muting" oneself online to show solidarity with the BLM movement and to let black voices share their experiences and vital info. Instead it actually drowns them out, obfuscates useful information and turns your various timelines into endless black nothingness. Although I can see the value in hijacking social media for a moment to amplify a single message, some BLM leaders would rather it not occur for the aforementioned reasons[0].

I organize everything I know I'll use daily or very often. I take it from the French kitchen term "Mise en place" [0]. It suits my work style, and think it will as well for anyone who primarily has a single workstation (I include your smartphone in that definition, say when in traveling for example). I'm aware that endlessly organizing can be a time waste, but over time I've learnt to know when it's enough, to keep moving and execute on ideas or valuable work, earning an income etc. I can always spend a few minutes re-configuring a specific set up. Apps have configuration, so should your workstation, and your operating environment in general.

For years I've used Gmail Filters to apply labels to specific "from" addresses. Takes a bit to set up as I have very long "from(@domain.com OR @domain2.com OR ...)" queries but ideally I'm also unsubscribing from newsletters etc. that I don't want.

I also use multiple inboxes as well. First, "Starred" (different colored stars means different things to me and this strategy is used consistently across multiple platforms inc macOS labels, Trello etc.), then "Alerts" (critical emails from various systems), then "Important and Unread", then everything else.

Most emails are not "important" and I do actively unsubscribe so the method is manageable for me. The last thing I need is my email inbox to be a giant todo list. Most important are tech/work related, current projects, finance/business. I try not to sign up for anything that I need to read, newsletters etc. That's what RSS is for. Email is for quick actionable item and some communication.
