Just started using stopwatch to study

It does help quite a lot to increase the time output

Tho doesn't keep a track of the productivity but at least i just don't start doomscrolling between brakes

And at last. It does feel quite good seeing time being spent religiously

My request to all.... STOP BUYING ONLINE GAMES

As we all know sony will stop disc manufacturing from 2028

And I don't have to tell you how bad of a decision this is for everyone.

It's my plea to all that DO NOT BUY digital games from sony

View this as a protest against their decision

They will only reconsider if it shows up in their losses

As after sony I'm certain that soon enough physical games will go extinct and we all will permanently lose ownership from the games WE BUY.

For reference look at how sony recently removed almost 500 movies online without compensating those who purchased it

No more CORPORATE TYRANNY!!

Begginer's guide for cycling

First of all... I consider myself an intermediary so this advice might not be perfect but sure as hell helps a lot!!

Cadence : it is how fast you spin your pedals. You should always aim to keep the rate of spin constant..

Your ideal cadence is the speed at which you don't get tired and also it should not be underwhelming.

To maintain your cadence... You use your gear shifter, as the pedal starts feeling heavier, you should shift to an easier gear and vise versa when it feels lighter... (ex- in climbs)

Heart Rate : you should always try to keep it lower at least in the flat sections where it doesn't require much effort

One way to do is to control your breathing. The easiest way to do that is using your nose to breathe.

Sure! when pedalling becomes difficult then you would need more energy which means breathing from the mouth for more air but you should use it wisely... Consider it as a boost

This tips would help increasing your endurance and you won't bonk(die) in the first few kms of your ride

Your goal should be increasing your "effort" not your speed!!

How do you choose where to set up your tent in bikepacking expeditions

Hey this is my second time backpacking to the Himalayas

And I have found out that the route from bhalukpong to Bomdila has a very few rest places in between.

Though I will be accompanied by a few veterans who have done that route earlier but it would be my first time carrying a tent.

So what's your usual drill for finding a campsite?

So you ask locals or find secluded areas or you just do it besides the main road.

I have found out from my previous trip that the ppl there are quite welcoming and are tourist friendly.

Funny how one man's greed ruined an entire genz revolution!

CJP never needed a face... Thee issues were enough.

But Abhijeet Dipke made the whole thing about himself.

An NRI sitting outside the country became the face of something suffered by us students. Then his own team started fighting among themselves for credit.

Years of public frustration and momentum got wasted within weeks.

Now instead of talking about corruption or the system, people just talk about him being "AAP ka tattu" or what not

He just doesn't deserve the spotlight

I as an Indian genz don't consider him my representative

Hell even without a face the party had far more potential

For those who are owed a significant sum by their friend or known ones...

How do you retrieve that sum?

Should you just not lend and avoid it completely?

Are money retrieval skills useful for me?

Is to just accept that money owed = money lost and accept peace a better option?

People often say choosing NOTA shows dissatisfaction with the available candidates, which makes sense in theory.

But does it have any real practical use?

Since NOTA doesn’t affect the outcome or trigger any consequence, isn’t it essentially wasting your vote? Even if a large number of people choose it, the result remains unchanged.

Because of that, I feel like simply not showing up to vote might be more impactful than choosing NOTA.

Am I missing something here?
