Alarms are scary
  • What about a gradual alarm?

    It starts with low volume, then gradually increases volume.

    There's even smart lamps that do increasing light intensity to simulate sunrise.

  • Earth systems critical to all life are on the verge of total collapse
  • Nicely said.

    And even if we could do a bit more, why should we make more sacrifices, when big corporations are accountable for much of the environment's issues?

  • COVID surging in California. Is it time to bring back masks, hand sanitizer? What experts say
  • Well done! Shame not more people are doing it.

  • Huge weight off my shoulders
  • I had my inbox filled, so I started creating rules

    Emails from (let's say) Google are to be sent to a folder called Google. When creating a rule, it asks you if you want to apply it to the inbox.

    Check that, wait for a few minutes, and all Google emails will be inside the new folder. Once you start sorting you will notice that the amount of emails in your inbox reduces drastically.

    I created rules that check the email contents for keywords. If it detects ads, then it goes straight to the bin.

    Has worked for me for some years.

  • It takes maybe 2h

  • If you create a rule for a specific email address, you can send it all into a folder, then mark the folder as read. Or, you know, just send all to junk

  • Huge weight off my shoulders
  • Just do it! It shouldn't take more than 2 hours

  • Kids? A Growing Number of Americans Say, ‘No, Thanks.’
  • They don't "look"... Those are the ones that want kids. Those who weight the pros and cons, most likely reach the conclusion that having kids is not feasible.

  • Most annoying feature ever
  • I use tidal, and the only thing I miss from Spotify is the ability to transfer the music I'm listening to the PC or smartphone

  • Why Americans' confidence in finding a new job is tanking even as the labor market is humming along
  • It's a shame... We could be so much more than zeros on a bank account.

    Should I replace all the wooden beams?

    Hi, I am new here, so I want to apologize if I mess something up. I have the following problem...

    I am restoring a division in my house. It's a high ceilling area, with wooden beams supporting a hardwood floor that divides the space into a dining room (lower) and an office (upper).

    My father thought the wood was in good shape, so he replaced the hardwood floor above the beams. Afterward, his plan was to apply protection to prevent woodworms and then oil for the finishing touch. But, upon closer inspection, I noticed all the wooden beams have these small holes (which I suppose are woodworms already).

    Also, I knocked on the wood, and it seems hollow.

    Should I replace all the wooden beams and then reapply the hardwood floor? Is there any way to recover these beams?

    Thanks in advance.
