  • Someone said a slow cooker - I can also add a pressure cooker. Just add the ingredients, seal it, walk away, 30m-1h later your soup/stew/porridge or even rice is ready. No need to overthink it.

    Cooking needs some practice and a bit of patience. I only learned to cook in my late 20s. In time I learned how long a particular ingredient needs to sit in the oven and at which temperature (it’s almost always 30m at 180-200°C), and which spice goes with which meat. I use a lot of canned veggies and readymade spice mixes - curry, chili con carne, they are so much easier this way. Also, make sure there is enough salt, the lack of salt can really make any food bland. Oh, and butter. You can never go wrong with butter. Fry your eggs in butter (lower temp, it burns quickly), add it to your boiled rice with a pinch of salt, it’s really versatile and adds a butt load of flavor.












  • My setup: dual screen, on one of them there’s YouTube always on with some booktuber or d&d campaign, private and work chats, on the other screen browser and terminals. The fan that’s sucking my vape fumes next to my desk has been running non stop for a couple of years. I sometimes turn it down to one, but it’s always on. Sometimes the browser/terminal combo gets replaced by Project Zomboid. I’m in this chair 10-18h per day, almost every day. I’m okay. Everything’s okay.








  • I guess you have a pretty regular sleep schedule… I don’t. I have issues sleeping, so sometimes I would go to bed at 2am and fall asleep at 4am, other days I would go to bed at midnight and fall asleep immediately. I sometimes wake up at 7am when I have to go to the office, sometimes at 9am, right before the morning meeting when I work from home. During the weekend I wake up between 10am and 2pm… I also frequently wake up during the night, I don’t have a very deep sleep. So being in bed for 6 hours might only mean 5h of sleep. I am a zombie when I wake up, so I would most likely forget to write/mark down the times. It’s just not feasible for everyone to do that manually.

    To answer OP, I use my Fitbit to track my sleep. Before I got my watch, I used Sleep for Android.
