In how many languages can you count to 10? in c/[email protected]

German, Cantonese, mandarin, English, French.

I used to know in Swahili too, does that count ?

It's coming from the abacus, meaning most likely all of Asian languages have this.

I wonder about Arabic ones ?

Well if you can count to ten in mandarin, you can count to 100.

It's literally 5 10 2, 5 10 3 for 52, 53 etc.

Add one more word for hundreds, one more for thousands.

After that it gets tough cause numbers beyond thousands are split by packs of 10 thousands, not hundred thousands like most western world (I guess).

Similar to the lakh in Indian

Until the red states run out of food and start eyeing the neighbouring blue states

Thanks for your help.

Indeed, it seems I need to focus a bit more on my health, appreciate that.

I think I'll pass on the potions, it's just never been my jam, but I keep your suggestion of Novo's in mind in case I ever change my mind in this journey.

That would be 15+ years

Thanks for the tip on the notepad, seems others are suggesting similar approach, I'll try and see how it helps

Thanks, seems you're not the only one writing down things...

Maybe I should try that as others suggested too. It's something I was so happy to get rid of when I finished studying... Oh well

Wandu project ! Shower time

Short attention span (lemmy.ml)
 

After working for many years in a "fast pace environment" I can't help but notice that I have increasing difficulties to do simple tasks.

In office, I always start multiple tasks at the same time. I noticed I often start but barely finish.

At home, it gets even worse. "Let's make tea" takes several back and forth to the kitchen, wondering what I am doing there. Then forgetting I boiled water.

I've tried to trick myself by ordering tasks, but ultimately I end up asking myself what was I doing until now.

I don't take medicines of any kind. "1st world problem" is granted, accepted, validated.

I'm sure I'm not the only one. Have you found a recipe that works for you ?
