Re:Ask HN: which mattress for best sleep? on Thursday May 19, 2011 @07:16AM (#2563566)
I bought a tempur-pedic earlier this year and I have to say it's the best sleep I've ever had. I used to toss and turn during the night and I usually had back pain in the mornings, but not with the tempur-pedic. I get uninterrupted sleep and no morning back pain.

My previous mattresses were decent spring types and they were comfortable, but nothing compared to the tempur-pedic.

I like the simplicity of your app.
Re:How to train your brain to flip to a new language on Wednesday February 09, 2011 @07:53AM (#2197254)
From my experience, it takes total immersion in the language to become fluent. I spent two years in Brazil and it took 6-8 months before I reached the point where I began to think in Portuguese. It's a pretty amazing thing though, once you reach that point. You're thinking and even dreaming in another language. I still have dreams in Portuguese even though it's been 15 years since I returned to the US.
This is actually a decent wage in Brazil. When I lived there (15 years ago) minimum wage was equivalent to $100 a month.

It would be nice if you allowed us to rename our corkboard (corkboard.me/[my_name_or_whatever]) to something more meaningful, then I can get to it from work or home without checking my delicious account.
