Oh yeah the "go for x, break for y, then go again" thing never works for me unless it's go for hours with headphones on, then break in a specific manner for 10-15 minutes, then go again. Then maybe I'll be able to finish properly.
It shouldn't feel like we have to fight our brains to get shit done but I swear half the time it feels like I have to enter the Goddamned Konami Code just to get my shit done lol.
I find that breaking my tasks into much smaller little tasks helps a lot. That way instead of failing to do one task I'm failing to do 50... wait.
Joking aside breaking the tasks apart helps me a lot. It's not "I need to clean my apartment," it's, "I need to clean my living room, bedroom, and dining room." And even that more task heavy list gets broken down a lot where basically each room becomes zones.
I might not finish the living room today but cleaning that end table will be something I can revel in finishing.
For me it also helps me practicing point-and-call for the tasks I need to do. It helps lowering my chance of getting distracted while I'm doing something and also helps prevent mistakes on more complicated tasks.
Voting without being politically active does do fuck all. But not voting ensures that the people you really don't want to win can do so without any pushback.
Literally able to us the WiFi in a metal barn 50 yards away on the otherside of a garage
It doesn't faff about
Mowing the field at her place my phone will stay connected to the WiFi basically the whole time, the only WiFi blind spot that I had to fix was on the far side of her property where there's 2 metal barns, a garage, and a wall of her house between you and the broadcast equipment.
It's a small farm and yeah it's Ubiquiti hardware though I don't think they sell it anymore. The last time I looked through their website I couldn't find it again.
Basically this thing is located on one end of the property and on the other end there's a nano station hooked up to a router because there was still a WiFi dead zone that she wanted covered. But given that that spot was inside a metal barn on the otherside of another metal barn I wasn't surprised.
Hell the high power WiFi equipment^‡^ I installed at my Grandma's house had warnings about keeping a few feet clear of it when powered on due to health concerns and that's just WiFi equipment. I can't imagine the dosage of gnarly from a 2m powered dish.
‡ I installed that equipment because she wanted WiFi on all 10 acres of her property and she didn't want me to install more stations around her property. Now she has the broadcast equipment in her garage with a tape line on the floor like it's a Goddamned radiation research facility lol
The fact that it's Japan (a place with a damn good rep for trains) planning to make a giant conveyor system between 2 cities rather than a freight line is what's so shocking to me.
They're going to have to clear a lot of stuff for a big conveyor system why not do it properly and go with freight trains?
Trains are a tried and true method of moving freight, they have a bunch of skilled engineers already versed in trains, they have all the necessary industry for getting the parts for those trains built, etc, etc. This just screams stupid AF and wasteful AF to me.
