This is a great list. As OP is possibly interested in tools as well, here are some of the tools I use for some of them in this list.

1. bookmarks: pinboard.in / chrome plugin, add bookmark - add any relevant tags

2. backlog: todoist.com with tagging

3. speed read: beelinereader.com / found this to be useful but didnt use that often

4. reading offline: kindle

5. watching videos faster: video speed controller from chrome store

When working with Excel, there is an addon (paid) called KUTOOLS that saved me a lot of time. It has a bunch of preset operations like removing duplicates, merging multiple sheets, bulking changing rows etc.

Another text editor worth mentioning is EMEDITOR that has tons of macros and handles larger files much better than Sublime

From their website (homepage):

Gigster is a smart software development service, combining top developers and designers with artificial intelligence.

Am I the only one who does not understand what that even means?

Do they bring together matching developers and designers using their artificial intelligent algorithms or the developers and designers they hire have artificial intelligence?

I ordered a bunch of stuff from amazon.in when I was visiting India. All the deliveries are via courier like DTDC. But I was in a smaller town. I am not sure if the Amazon delivery network is in action in the bigger cities.

My son just turned 4. He doesnt seem to mind using a keyboard occasionally, though searching for the keys leads to losing his interest quickly. He still finds it amusing typing words in a text editor and seeing them appear on the screen.

Touchscreen seems to be easiest be it for playing games or navigating youtube. He uses google voice quite a bit on an Android smart phone, since he found the "mic" button.

I have a 23-inch touch monitor hooked up to an intel nuc with Win10, which he seems to like a lot. Though the educational apps in windows store are very few. I was not able to find a way to hook up an Android variant to the touch monitor.

TLDR;

This section through a young octopus shows the stripey-looking brain between the two advanced camera eyes, surrounding part of the oesophagus (small white centre towards the base of the eyes). Also visible are two of the characteristic arms, with multiple suckers and thick nerves running through them. The strange and seemingly precarious arrangement of the

I dont think it has officers names on that $20 report.

If you are requesting the $20 detailed information option, this application will not return actual images of the documents on record. This application will return a page listing the 5 most recent filings, franchise tax assessment, total authorized shares if applicable and tax due. Officer and Director names and addresses are maintained on the images of the annual reports and are not available through this application. If you wish to order a copy of an annual report please call 302-739-3073 for more information

One caveat with Amazon products reviews. With any products that have unusually high 5*s, search for term 'exchange' and lookout for lines like : 'I received this product at a discounted price in return for my unbiased review.' I got bad experience with multiple such products. The people writing these reviews definitely seem to start with positive, since they got the stuff for free or discount!

I am guessing more VPN accounts tend to be purchased using stolen credit card numbers than an average online transaction. As crackers use VPN services to render their own services.

The number of chargebacks or fradulent transactions reported on your merchant account usually raises red flags and calls for account review. I am sure its pretty easy for paypal to identify such accounts with the data they have.

I tried something called Alpha-Brain by Onnit Labs based in Austin. The main ingredients of which are tyrosine, theanine and a bunch of other stuff. It is marketed as improving focus/memory.

I used it for a couple of weeks and saw no benefits. The only noticeable change was my dreams got vivid when taking it (which is also claimed by them). When taking it, I also had short episode that felt like onset of a sudden dementia, I could not remember anything. Example: I couldnt remember where my car was parked when I was standing right in front of it. I dont know if it is caused by Alpha-Brain, but I was not taking anything else during that period. I stopped taking it soon after.

Like they say, there is no biological free lunch. I would say the safest way is probably good nutrition, enough sleep and exercise.

I second JRE, great podcast and guests. Some of the guests on JRE have their own great podcasts. My preferences are:

- Duncan Trussell Family hour : duncantrussell.com

- Chris Ryan - Tangentially speaking : chrisryanphd.com

- Psychedelic Salon By Lorenzo

While we are on movie quotes, on similar lines from Supertroopers:

College Boy 2: No, man, I'm just saying... I'm sayin', if-if you own beachfront property, right, do you own, like, the sand and the water?

College Boy 3: Nobody owns the water. God owns - it's God's water.

Instead of the current war/combative/investigative tasks that they have, I hereby demand all the drones be re-commissioned and given the following tasks:

- Keeping track of the forest cover and water resources

- Geographical surveys to identify use & misuse of resources

- Track and identify poachers and loggers

- In cities, keep an eye on the air pollution and particulate levels

- Identify factories emitting pollutants above the limits

- Tracking inclement weather

- Attend to humanitarian needs in disaster situations
