I know life is tiring but just in case you are also physically tired from lack of sleep. I recommend taking 5 mg of melatonin, if you have 8 hours of sleep available, for a few days.

There are times when I don't sleep well, tossing turning etc, and melatonin every so often helps me catch up on a good night's sleep. I'll wake up feeling a lot better.

It won't solve your life problems but it will help alleviate the unwanted feelings from not sleepy well.

I hope things work out for you.

"EPISODE 214

In this episode we identify and fix the problem that led to a binding rudder, although we are left with some unanswered questions about corrosion. We also scrape, sand, and paint the bottom of the boat to get her ready to re-launch, and re-varnish the transom… phew!"

That's says a lot about the quality of the book.

While it's on my TBR, this is one of the books that I have never heard someone dislike. I think I want to wait until I have a physical copy to read it since it's so well liked. I have a few books that I need to get through first so I still have some time to make up my mind.

With the weather against them, they decided to spend their time writing ghost stories for each other. Frankenstein is Mary Shelley’s submission to their contest, later published anonymously in 1818.

I'd like one too. He has a nice shop.

 

"Today we're making something a little different... this is my take on an epoxy live edge table. I usually am not a fan of the whole live edge epoxy table trend, so I gave it my own twist. This project turned out to be a little more difficult than I originally thought, but I really like the end result! Let me know what you think about the table."

I had the same thought. It was really impressive, both the engineering of the train itself and the video.

 

"I use dividers regularly in my work. They’re indispensable for spacing out and dividing lengths—whether laying out dovetails, bisecting a line by drawing intersecting arcs, or sketching circles and curves."

1984 is mostly easy to read until the last third. Before then it almost makes you have hope that the world in the book changes. Then it becomes more difficult to read due to what happens to the main characters. The last dozen pages were disheartening. I would recommend it to read at least one time.

Brave New World is easier to read so far. The themes (people are all the same and just do as they are conditioned without quesion) have obviously been in other media for decades so there isn't anything that is too "new". I'll have to finish the book to really know what I think about it.

I finished 1984 by George Orwell last week and started Brave New World by Aldous Huxley a few days ago. I'm about halfway through so I should be finished with it by the end of the week.

Afterwich I’ll start The Deep History of Ourselves: The Four-Billion-Year Story of How We Got Conscious Brains by Joseph LeDoux. It’s a book I’ve been wanting to read for a few months so I hope it’s as good as it sounds.

I’m still reading Epictetus: The Complete Works by Robin Waterfield and The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday.

"Well."

Now I actually do want to read it.

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it really is the dystopian book on most lists. Not difficult to see why when you realize it was published in 1949.

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Oh wow, I hadn't heard of that one. It does sound interesting though so I might pick it up. Thanks!
