Ugh, I hate them. Specially when they aren't set to last a specific time and are there the whole video. I instantly deactivate them when I see them.

It's funny how he ended up proving that @babuskov was right.
Why stop here? you can stop chewing your food and only drink it, it will save you time :p

Numbers are nice but the repercussions of the lack of sleepiness and the direct effect on your productivity can lead you to a serious depression.

Yeah, it was a total disappointment to subscribe to Netflix just to discover that almost everything I was interested in, wasn't there.

You don't have to trust them, but that won't change the fact that they are willing to do it. You can compare and research by yourself if you think that what someone has told you can risk your health.

I haven't met anyone in a gym who is not willing to give you advices about how to lift.

I'm used to switch between three different languages to take advantage of the prediction thing in the default android keyboard and I think it's very comfortable, just one or two taps and you are ready to go.

I don't know about you but what I've always imagined as an awesome pokemon game would be a 3D MMORPG, with a huge world in which I can catch will pokemons by fighting them or start a fight with another player. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the first one thinking about this idea but Nintendo has never made something like this for whatever reason they have.

It surprises me how few people seek for professional help in these cases. People here can tell you about their experiences but they won't match completely with your particular case. Find a good psychologist and work with him/her on your improvement.

I couldn't agree more with your statement. Pratchett was the best for me.
Really? I've heard that by doing that what you are doing is reducing the time the battery will be charged (it's like instead of using 100% of your battery, it set its limit at 50%). I don't have the source where I saw this, sorry.
Well, in my case, I was using a second hand Nexus One for years (almost 3 years if I remember it right) without problems with the battery. I think that if you respect the charging cycles, you make it last longer (I usually wait until 10% of battery left to charge it)

I wouldn't be that quickly talking about Blizzard success. The only games with which they are taking a bit of risk are HS, HotS and Overwatch (and it seems that the only successful one is HS by now, the rest are popular just by the name of the company behind them and the effort advertising them). Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 sold themselves just by their names.
Re:The History of Magic: The Gathering Online on Tuesday August 18, 2015 @04:43AM (#10078111)
What I really dislike about Blizzard is how they have created this childish look in almost every game. It wasn't bad in Warcraft, I could accept it in WoW but Hearthstone and HotS was too much for me.
Re:Insufficient Sleep Is a Public Health Epidemic on Thursday August 06, 2015 @03:59AM (#10015140)
I've stopped drinking coffee at all and I'm way less tired. Before doing this, I wasn't able to start to watch a film in the evening without falling asleep.
The worst thing is that "looking like an engineer" is a pejorative description. People expect some kind of nerdy appearance from an engineer no matter what gender the person is.
