What are some alternatives to the usual "sleep more, eat healthy, exercise" advice that I don't want follow because it is too mainstream?

No, no, you don't understand, I don't want advice that works. I want to try something different because I'm bored

happy 11th anniversary to this email sent to all staff at the School of Mathematics and Statistics
Dear All, I am delighted to report to you the first results of an experiment that is being conducted in the tea room of this Department. On 29 August, an Oslo Stainless Steel Cutlery Set (48 Pieces: 12 Knifes, 12 Forks, 12 Tea Spoons, 12 Dinner Spoons) was placed in a drawer in the Departmental tea room. A poster asking not to remove the cutlery from the tea room was attached in a visible location. The original research plan was to monitor (in real time) the disappearance of the cutlery from the tea room and then fit a point/counting process model to the observed data. However, as the research project failed to attract any major grants (and so hiring a research assistant to do the work was impossible), it was decided to conduct opportunistic discrete monitoring only. Here is the first result: sixty days in the experiment, the disappearance rates stand as follows: Knives: 8.3% Forks: 100% Tea spoons: 58.3% Dinner spoons: 41.7% Possible conclusions include, but are not limited to, the following: the people who removed the missing cutlery don’t understand written English; they don’t see forks as a special case of cutlery; forks are needed to do some kind of mathematics; the knives from the set are no good; small spoons are slightly more attractive than the large ones; things left in our tea room tend to disappear even if they are not edible; further research is needed to fully understand the phenomenon. Best, kostya borovkov

By the time the current iOS and macOS become stable and somewhat usable after such hotfixes, they will bring out the new one!

My books cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com
Title: The desk of a late, great author Panel 1: A woman asks "The publisher is on my back again. Have you guys got anything left in there?" Panel 2: A desk, with four drawers and a friendly face on each, replies "Nope" "Sorry." "Nothing." the last one says "I might have something..." Panel 3: The woman reaches into the drawer which says "That's it...Right At the back." Panel 4: The woman holds some paper "It's just a pizza menu." Panel 5: The drawers reply: "Oh well" "We've done our best" "We have secured a great reputation for eternity!" But another voice joins in: Panel 6: "Now, hold on there. I've got a few things that might Interest you..." It is the waste-paper basket, filled with crumpled balls of discarded paper.

I remember how excited I was when border-radius became a thing... If only I'd know what would eventually be possible with it about 15 years later 😅

corner-shape takes border-radius to an all new level...

@cbolson.bsky.social has made a handy generator for it: www.corner-shape.com
A div that has a scooped out top left and bottom right corners, a notched top right corner, and a round bottom left corner. A dive the looks a bit like a L that has been rotated 180deg A div with a top left round corner, and a scoopped bottom right corner A very strange looking shape. Almost like a circus tent, but with an extra rectangle added to the bottom right corner.
