rosstex··on What if regular exercise is the best cognitive exercise?
Even so, the number of people in the comments asking for book recommendations on fitness and nutrition shows that many people here would rather cling to their comfort zone of digging deeper.

rosstex··on Revenge Bedtime Procrastination
>going to bed puts me that much closer to the next day's anxieties and stresses

rosstex··on ‎Amplosion: Redirect AMP Links on the App Store
Not always the case. Sometimes I'm looking for something and come across a link to a reddit thread. I'd like to jump to the app easily. What I don't like, however, is how hard websites try to block you from accessing their website without opening the app first.
