    Not wasting energy explaining this to you. You’re clearly incapable of engaging with a disagreement which has lead you to double down and move a few goalposts around.

    All criticism of your original point was done respectfully, its really not my problem if you can’t just acknowledge you misspoke in the first post… Its downvoted like 20+ times man. What other evidence do you need that maybe you didn’t communicate your thoughts clearly.

    Hey man don’t take it personal that we disagree with your original point…if you meant to say something else, fair enough, but we all posting / responding to the OP which was more broad than what you are saying now.

    Additionally, my response was more about quality of materials which may incrue extra costs and had nothing to do with buying over priced designer stuff. I agree with your new point, but thats not what you said initially.

    Agreed on point about special purpose footwear. However disagree with both you and OPs point about not investing in footwear and seemingly choosing options based at least mostly on cost.

    Cheap footwear leads to a variety of other health / joint / posture issues that cost far more in the long run.

    All new shoes are going to feel okay when you first get them. Something people forget is how a cheap shoe will degrade over time. Common example is soles wearing down unevenly because say the insole or outsole is made out of something cheap. Now you need to walk on a slightly uneven footing for months till you buy a new pair, thus furthering the damage created by ever other cheap pair of shoes you’ve bought over the years.

    Shoes, tires, matress; dont skimp.



  • Yeah I mean, I didn’t say to gloat / flaunt. You can do what I suggested without making others feel small. False modesty is exactly what we are avoiding…genuine modesty is absolutely fine to run alongside my comment about being right sized and is the perfect antitode to the concern you started your post with.

    And tbh the right sized thing has less to do with looks / status / wealth and more to do with how we see ourselves when doing a self assessment of character traits.





  • People who do this are conditioning themselves to have this experience.

    Test this on your days off at first until you are confident: Set one alarm at or around the time you would like to wake up. Fall asleep no less than 6 hours before that alarm is supposed to go off. Set your snooze delay to as low as it goes (mine is 1 minute). Attempt to wake up at first alarm, press snooze if not (the shorter delay will make closing your eyes a waste of time since another alarm is now only 40 seconds~ away, not enough time to make it worth it). Do this until you are able to sit up in bed at the first alarm. Rinse repeat.

    Nowadays Ive trained my internal clock to wake up a few minutes before my alarm goes off.

    YRMV.



  • 50%?? Been daily driving for over a year and system maintenance is nowhere near the levels it’s hyped up to be. Every once in a while the update requires manual intervention which can be solved by reading the email arch sends out before any of these atypical situations (register to be on the mailing list). Other system set up tinkering is well documented in the arch wiki.

    Anyone interested in playing games on Linux should be exploring a rolling release distro even if for nothing more than access to updated GPU drivers as soon as they come out.

    Don’t forget the utiltiy of the AUR.
