They weren’t evicted. They negotiated an early end to the lease so the landlord could make repairs.

This might take a few hours, but selecting a good book might save you significantly more time.
I wish I could upvote this more.
I created a 1dollarscan subscription for “100 sets” (each set is 100 pages, so I paid $99 for the ability to scan up to 100sets*100pages/set = 10,000 pages), but I’m not going to use all of the sets, so if you have dead tree books that you’d like to destroy/convert to PDFs, PM me. My subscription ends on July 15th, and you’d have to mail in the books so that they arrive before then.
Thank you so much!
I wanted to read this book a while ago, but couldn’t find a copy of it online or at my library.
There doesn’t exist a full English translation?
I think this post was well written and well researched and want to give you positive reinforcement for writing it!
One category of solutions to this problem is to lower your costs. Your main costs will probably be food and rent.
Some ideas on making food and rent cheaper:
Cheaper food.
Low carb Soylent.
//Why is food so expensive anyway?
Cheaper rent.
Convince likeminded people to move somewhere with cheap land (e.g. http://www.fortgalt.com/).
Nice vans that are built for people to live in.
Dating site for roommates to share a house.
Potential Solution 2: Better beds and pillows.
Helix custom beds seem pretty good.
Pillows: However, there don’t seem to be good solutions for custom pillows. I’m imagining something like those curved memory foam pillows (which I need to buy/try), where the dimensions/curves are customized to your head.
Waterbeds: I’ve not tried a waterbed, but it seems like they relieve pressure points better than conventional mattresses. I want a waterbed that’s easier to set up, less likely to break, and less likely to be a catastrophic disaster if it does break.
I’ve bought a buckwheat pillow, and a Mediflow pillow, and am still searching for a better pillow.
Potential Solution 1: Fancy biochemistry and lab-tests.
I got excited when I first heard about a company called Gene Solve, that has the following pitch:
“By optimizing a patient’s body chemistry—vitamins, enzymes, proteins, prehormones, and hormones—GeneSolve patients experience boosts in their energy levels and mental sharpness throughout the day, recover faster from injuries or job-related stress and lose fat through natural metabolic improvements.
GeneSolve achieves these benefits through extensive analysis of DNA, blood panels and family and medical history. The resulting data, when combined with GeneSolve’s proprietary expert systems, allow GeneSolve’s doctors to make extremely precise adjustments to each patient’s unique body chemistry.”
For some reason, the company got dissolved I think. But, I think that doing something like this could be very interesting.
I guess there’s also WellnessFx. I just don’t get the feeling that their service really knows what to do with the lab results once they get them.
Mental energy. I would like to be able to maximize the amount of “deep work” that I can do.
Roughly, I should be willing to pay quite a lot for this. If I value my deep work time at $X/hr and my non-deep-work hours at $Y/hr and I can increase the amount of “deep work” hours I work in a week by A, then I should break even at paying $A*(X-Y).
I also think John Yates’s Progressive Stages of Mindfulness in Plain English is orders of magnitude better than all the other meditation books I’ve read.
From what I could tell from looking at the table of contents (and page lengths) for both, the book/pdfs I linked covers the same content, but is free! Though, I might consider buying his newest book, just because I liked the other one so much.
I’m basically going back over the sequences and top posts of LW again. I’m already aware of curated lists for Yvain and Kaj, but I don’t think there are curated lists for the other top all-time posters. Unfortunately, A. That tool doesn’t really work well enough. B. The list of all time top-posters has disappeared, and I’m sure I’d forget some of them if I tried to go off the top of my head.
Yep! Thanks!
Edit: I see what you mean about it being slow with accounts with lots of comments.
There was a link (I think it was from Wedrifed) that allowed you to sort a particular user’s posts/comments by karma (rather than by time). Does anybody know where that link is?
Surprisingly, I’ve had more success meeting nerdy types on Tinder than OkCupid.
I think this might be because there are more people on Tinder.
The Perfect Health Diet people largely agree. http://perfecthealthdiet.com/2012/01/is-it-good-to-eat-sugar/
Their recommendation is a max of 25g fructose or 15% of carbohydrates should be fructose.
I’d love links to some of the studies!
