It's hard to decide any causation for me personally, but my fitness tends to at least correlate positively with my mental health.

A lot of people here have the right idea, but are just more pessimistic than me about the industrial capabilities of our civilization if we survive long enough to achieve them. Star lifting is an idea with what I understand to be reasonably sound scientific principles. It's just a matter of scaling our industry over the next millions or billions of years.

I like this channel because he's a fairly optimistic but very reality based futurist. He'll tell you straight up if something is unlikely or impossible based on our current understanding of science, but he's one of the few sources I've seen that acknowledges the immense scale that even an Earth or solar system bound civilization is capable of supporting with just modern technology.

A bed frame to get your mattress off the floor makes a bigger difference than you'd think. And having one that won't break and drop you is even better!

That said, I love IKEA bed frames.

Backblaze personal is $9 a month or $99 a year for unlimited backup. The first result on Amazon for a 4tb HDD is $85. Building a NAS costs the same as 2.5 years of this cloud backup for the drives alone, and doesn't actually give you a backup at all. The costs scale even more poorly if you need to store more than your 8tb.

Not if you're mainly interested in counting multiples of pi.

I'll look into it a bit more. It does mesh with my experience, where I feel like different concepts just don't work with some people's brains.

Honest question, can you find something I can read about these studies?

Anesthesiologist salaries range from $300k+ to 500k+ according to a quick Google search. Doing the same for tattoo artists say the very very top earners can be in the $300k+ range.

I went into this comment prepared to say that you're underestimating how much more expensive it would be, but looking at that I guess there's no real reason you shouldn't be able to shell out 2-10x the money (I have no idea how much the equipment and consumables cost) to get a really really nice tattoo without feeling the pain.

"A base is usually a whole number bigger than 1, although non-integer bases are also mathematically possible."

I don't think there's any technical reason we can't count in base pi

I work in industry with MediaTek chips. We basically have to reverse engineer them to get anything done, because they refuse to give us anything, and what they do give us doesn't work.

The main problem with a mini PC is a lot of streaming services won't serve you 4k content. Not an issue if you get your content from other sources though.
