I don't remember the exact versions, but I upgraded to 124 earlier this month. Brave works great for video streaming, but breaks applications I use. Firefox development (125) also breaks some applications I use, and has the same performance issues as regular firefox.

The fan on my laptop has been broken for most of this year (replaced due to first fan making noise, but havent had time to figure out why the replacement stopped working). I have been running with all high performance CPU features disabled in the BIOS for years with the purpose of not using the fan anyways, and it has been working great with 1 or 2 intensive applications max running in firefox (and as much other low intensity stuff that basically doesn't consume much resource such as another browser - chromium, vscode, my development environment including a vm).

I don't currently really have any conclusive idea about what's going on. I will have to start using my desktop, fixing issues with my laptop, and do some more testing out of my workloads. Overall I'm just getting the feeling that something is horribly wrong with Firefox.

I’d even go further to say I’m convinced that use of soaps and deodorant cause us to generate odor in an even worse way. This would make sense if you want to keep selling a product. We should research this!

And regarding the stainless steel stick, I just stroke my pit hairs with my fingers.

Snapchat ads come at the end of 1 person’s story, or between random people if you have multiple peoples’ stories queued. I never do the latter because it’s a dark pattern to make you wait for the ad to finish before the next story, so I always watch 1 person, and swipe out if there’s an ad. In general, it seems like Snapchat ads are higher production quality and less relevant.

Edit: I suppose "pest" could refer to weeds and insects? I may have been thinking insecticide.

Here's the advice I decided on:

* First focus on duration. Exercise (cardio, I jog/run) at least 20 minutes. Go as slow as you need to be comfortable and dont worry about distance. Stop or slow down at any sign of injury, focus on good form.

* Gradually increase distance/duration goals. I started aiming for 3 miles or 30 minutes, then I increased gradually to 6 miles / hour (what I currently do). Continue paying attention to your form, and also to your breathing. Sometimes I get pains in the chest or feel short on breath, and if I try mixing up my breathing techniques I feel better. Try to breathe into your nostrils.

* Increase intensity. I commonly get advice from very fit people to do high intensity training. I tried to early on, but my body would just have a really hard time with it. I'm finally just starting to increase intensity, particularly toward the end of my run. Master good form and breathing before doing this, and preferably when your body doesnt hurt.

Speaking of pain, I've had a lot of growing pain through this process. There are certainly different types of injuries in regards to whether you can continue exercising on them. I don't know much about the technicalities here, but if it feels better as you run (this happens with my feet/ankles) then it's prbably good for you to exercise on (RICE vs MEAT or something). Don't run on the injuries that need rest, but don't let the injuries that you can exercise with hold you back.

Also speaking of motivation, I constantly have that lazy and tired feeling of not wanting to go, but I always feel better when I do. Controlling yourself is key for all of the things i mentioned, especially for getting out there and doing it!

1. Peripheral, especially when driving.

2. Uncomfortable, pinches nose, laying down on side with them on.

Also: Modification of scale of things. Makes things smaller the further they are from my eyes. Not a big deal, but I always feel kind of satisfied when I go back to contacts because of accuracy of perception. I suppose if I can get glasses with thinner material this might be less of an issue.

Keeping them clean and smudge free isn't that big of a deal for me, I just wipe them with my shirt, and normally it's not bad enough to bother me. Fogging is slightly annoying I suppose, but goes away quick.

I also seemed to have an ever-increasing strength of prescription. The last time I had them checked was in 2010, and my optometrist changed my brand from Coopervision to Acuvue because I was refusing to take mine off at night, and the Oasis is supposed to be more meant for that. I then had two bouts of some sort of pink eye (after nights of heavy drinking, but still didn't happen with my Coopervision even then), and also in general my eyes would feel drier in them. They had these slits that would become uncomfortable fairly quickly.

I switched back to my old Coopervision prescription from 2008 or 2009 and they have been working fine for me. From my own anecdotal experience, it's my theory that the constant stronger prescriptions are what makes your eyes worse. I've also heard anecdotes from other people about them just stopping wearing eye correction and their eyes get better.
