If you're not active, you're sick. You just don't know it yet.
If you don’t move regularly, your metabolism is already compromised. You may feel fine, but under the surface, the foundations of long-term health are deteriorating.

I may not be the smartest, but I succeed through sheer persistence.
I shared 10 ideas from the books I've read, posting daily—not for likes or sales, but to build discipline.
What are you pursuing with relentless determination?

We’ve built a world of moral theatre, full of gestures, empty of gravity.
We’ve replaced virtue with visibility.
Once we stopped worrying about survival, we started worrying about significance.
We seek meaning where it’s easiest to display it: online, in public

A metaphor for everything: focus on fundamentals, repeat, and let time compound the results.
For fitness: lift heavy 3–4 times a week, sleep 8 hours, eat real food with enough protein. No supplements. Progressive overload, consistency, and patience.

What I like about Kobo Plus (the Kindle Unlimited equivalent):
Recently, I started using Kobo for reading, and I've come to appreciate this feature a lot.
They don't show books that aren't available under the Plus subscription (Kindle does).
They don’t "trick" you into buying.
I like it.

What are the advantages & disadvantages of #svelte?
There are many advantages. Only one disadvantage: no job market or super low.
Now with all agentic tools (figma, lovable) generating react / nextjs based code, demand is going to be more for them, not for svelte.

If you are using Dropbox with n8n, use OAuth rather than just with access token.
Access tokens expire quickly. It is ok to use that for quick checks but for long running workflows, use OAuth.

Pollution tends to remain at this level for the rest of the year due to trapped air between the mountains and people continuing to set off fireworks for festivities and weddings.
Given these, how can we shield the family from pollution's effects? And can we eliminate those inhaled pollutants?

Trying out Kobo ios app. Subscribed to their Kobo Plus (equivalent to Kindle Unlimited).
One big difference I already see: I can't export highlights from all books.
If you read a book with KU subscription, you can export highlights. Doesn't seem to be the case in Kobo.

Joy of learning something new - now it is making an LED glow for the first time using a circuit on breadboard!
I'm teaching with "Quad Store Electronics Circuit" (amzn.to/4nwuHdQ).
The instruction manual is clear and my younger son created his first circuit and he is so happy (& hooked).
