You’re absolutely right!


Not just right - genius!


And power lines. I seem to recall reading that some of the health problems may have come from Agent Orange, which was used to clear the power corridor in the 50s


Economics isn’t a science, it’s a social science


I think you mean economics isn't a physical science, since social science is still a branch of science.


krona says "...since social science is still a branch of science."

My experience has been that most social scientists say this is true but most physical scientists say it is false.

Or, say, a number one search provider ;)


That makes sense, given the description of how it works, but the article distinctly mentions getting this effect from gaming headphones so...

Anyway, I went and tried again with just my laptop (based on the person above effusing about it). Again, for me, I'm not hearing anything special, and nothing "3D" about the sounds, other than some left-right shifts. And I guess the music is in front of me, since that's where my laptop is ;)


I agree. The article mentions bits going around their head, or in the front-right. I hear things on the left, and things on the right. And stuff that appears on the opposite side of where the article mentions them. I’m listening on Spotify, maybe all that stuff is stripped out?


Are you sure you don't have your left/right channels swapped? You don't know how many PCs I've run into with their speakers wired up backwards...


You mean “experimental submarine.”


But the steering wheel is a cool joystick!


I feel like you're missing a few esc's and a colon in there...


zz? Only one esc, but definitely a colon. vim is weird. Works for me, but I understand it’s not suitable for everyone’s tastes.


zz centers the screen on the current line. Use ZZ to save the file and quit. Use ZQ to not save but quit.


oh, I love vim! I still hit esc anywhere between 5 and 7 times before typing :wq to save my work.


Three books that have helped me:

- "Feeling Good" by David D. Burns

- "The Now Habit" by Neil Fiore

- "Getting Things Done" by David Allen

"Feeling Good" is about Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and will teach you some practical ways to get yourself out of a bad mood (depression, anger, self-criticism, etc). Procrastination is a logical response to how you are feeling about some task, for example, you are feeling anxious about failing a test, so you play video games because it feels better to play video games than to feel anxious. This book will help you get past the anxiety, so you can focus on the studying. If you only read one of these books, I would recommend this one.

"The Now Habit" offers you some practical advice on how to beat procrastination and schedule your time so you don't feel like all you do is work, work, work.

"Getting Things Done" has a lot of practical advice about how to keep track of what you've got going on in your life so that you can get all your stuff done.

And yes, if you think you are depressed or have undiagnosed ADHD, go see a doctor and/or therapist.

Hope some of this helps.
