Just another nerdy human bean. Thinking too much about everything, posting about some things.

Don't expect any consistent major topic. If I knew it myself, I'd tell you. But mostly you'll find here: #programming, #computerscience, #math, #academia, #ADHD and #random thoughts. Sometimes also bad attempts at creativity or entertainment.

@l привет Лисик, я типа случайно увидел твой пост, посмотрел профиль и подумал, это типа чел которому может просто нужно с кем то поговорить, чтобы не кричать в цифровую кибер пустоту. Я тебя добавлю к моим following, чтобы тебя кто-то иногда слышал!

Я тоже "странный" СДВГшник, в этом нету ничего плохого, ты просто видно живёшь в не правильном для тебя окружение или обществе! Это не твоя вина! Без странных людей мир был бы очень скучный и серый.

My first post about some #chemistry!

I wonder why I did not know about this #lifehack before: you can make your own effective multi-purpose disinfectant out of salt and water!

You can get a cheap "generator" (a simple electrolysis system) for less than 5$ and produce more disinfectant than you will ever need in your life.

Now I want to learn more about useful chemistry that can be done at home...

I wrote a post about passive #hydroponics https://pirogov.de/blog/passive-hydroponics/

If you feel like you do not have a green thumb for #growing in soil or your space outside is limited, maybe hydroponics is worth a try!

It is not as difficult as it looks like, just less familiar. It is both cleaner and more transparent than classical #gardening.

I wrote a post about my recent deep-dive into #knots

https://pirogov.de/blog/twists-turns-knots/

I wish I learned more about knots 10 years ago! Knot are both interesting from a #math point of view but also very practical.

Do yourself a favor and learn some useful knots, it's really a #lifehack!

If we could make energy out of bullshit, we would have no need for power stations anymore.

Sadly you can't turn entropy into energy.

What if the #singularity happens, or already has happened, but we all would just chill the fuck out for once?

Maybe if we all would just learn to relax and slow down, the world would suddenly become much more bearable for everyone, for a while longer?

Hit the brakes, deccelarate!

@mene That's true.

It took me years to understand what pulls my attention regularly and is important enough because I value and/or enjoy it enough to think "it would be too bad if I would just drop this forever".

And then it's still a matter of setting realistic goals. I might never complete an album, but I can record one random track at a time. I won't ever write a book, but I can write short stories, etc.

Half of it is realistic expectation management, I guess...

I think I figured out how to live with #adhd.

Learn to ride the waves. We have a different rhythm of existence. You can't fight the cycle, but you can learn to work with it.

Some people are marathon runners, but we are sprinters. The trick is to break down marathons into many sprints, and take breaks by switching your marathons.

Just pick half a dozen things your meta-self wants to work on and stick with it. Instead of a bit of everything, we do a lot of everything, but one thing at a time.
