If you like the sound of white noise or rain, there is a nice built-in feature that makes it available as additional background music even when listening to podcasts:

Settings -> Accessibility -> Audio & Visual -> Background Noise

I can activate it by pressing the home button three times (but I think that needs an additional setting).

When working on the front end, it is also useful to add screenshots with the before and after state so that the reviewer has an image reference.

Damn! I consume it regularly. Not so much in one day, of course, because it does have a laxative effect. But every cake I've made has been baked with it.

Watzlawick, P. (1993): The Situation is Hopeless, But Not Serious: The Pursuit of Unhappiness

This book explained to me how self-fulfilling prophecies work. ps. If you know German, I recommend you read it in the original language.

Re:Ask HN: What are your favo YouTube Channels? on Thursday May 16, 2024 @07:06AM (#40377020)
https://www.youtube.com/@STORROR

One of the most famous parkour channels out there. Storror has some great atheletes traveling to cool locations and performing at an amazing level. It's nice to see how urban locations can be used in a different way and how people in the area react to some of the stunts.

What about shaking?

I always drink my post training coffee with whey, glycine and creatine monohydrate. The shaker mixes the ingredients quite well.

A Wild Ride Through the Night by Walter Moers

Plot summary: "The story begins with 12-year-old Gustave, captain of the Aventure as he attempts to escape the deadly Siamese Twins Tornado. When the storm finally catches up with his crew, everyone is killed except Gustave, who meets Death, and his crazy sister Dementia. After the wicked siblings play dice for Gustave's soul, Death gives him six seemingly impossible tasks in order to stay alive. In one night, he must face six giants, rescue a damsel in distress from the clutches of a dragon, make himself conspicuous amidst a forest of evil spirits, encounter the Most Monstrous of all Monsters, and even meet himself."

In addition the book has great illustrations from Gustave Doré.
