I Moved to a Remote Cabin to Write, and I Hate It - Outside Online

The next time you sit at your typewriter, I want you to be honest. You're not writing for your friends, who keep offering to read your manuscript. You're not writing for Thoreau. Forget about readers. Forget about judgment. Wipe that from your mind. All you're trying to do is write about how you really feel. I know you're capable of it. After all, you sent me this letter, didn't you?

Play the proverbial therapist: write a sentence, and then write how you feel about that, and then write how you feel about that. Start a page with "I'll never admit—" and then fill it. Write an angry letter to whoever hurt you, or an angry letter to yourself. Write a letter to the stupid geese who have not helped you at all. Write down your greatest fear. Look at it. What would happen if it were true? Is it true? Imagine it's true; what's your greatest fear now?

Meta – Stratechery by Ben Thompson

I saw this on the BBC News App and thought you should see it:

The little-known hiking trail that built Canada
It was used by First Nations, fur traders and early westward-migrating settlers. Now, local communities are hoping it could become the world's next great long-distance hike.

Difference between COVID-19, cold, flu, and allergy symptoms in charts
Respiratory infections may become more prevalent again now that Americans are ditching their masks. Some cold or flu cases could be easily confused with a mild COVID-19 infection. Headaches and runny noses seem to be more common among recent COVID-19 cases than past ones. See more stories on Insider's business page.

Here's What the Clitoris Actually Is… And What It Isn't
Last week, feminist icon Gloria Steinem made headlines for slipping on a "clit ring" — that is, a ring in the shape of a clitoris. Surprised by what it looks like? You're not the only one. The female clitoris has long been a mystery, so much so…

The Best Books on Language and Thought | Five Books Expert Recommendations

My view of it, in retrospect, is that in the intervening fifty years – we're now fifty years from the publication of that book – it doesn't seem to have panned out. One cannot criticise it for that. To me, in some ways, this book is like Freud's first book on the unconscious. I don't buy the ego, the id, and the superego any more, and I don't buy the Oedipus complex, but I think that Freud was the most marvellous writer on the unconscious that ever lived. That fact that he was wrong is almost irrelevant because he got people thinking about things they never thought about before. To me, Chomsky is the same; I think he's wrong on a lot of this stuff but nobody thought about language in this way before he came along.

(5) Quora

Question: There's a mathematician flying to Frankfurt. On board he encounters a middle aged woman who challenges him to test his skills. She gives him the following 2 clues: He has to guess her daughters' ages.

  • The product of my 3 daughters' ages is 36.
  • The sum of my daughters' ages is your seat number.

The mathematician is unable to solve it and asks for a final hint.

  • My youngest daughter has blue eyes.

The moment he hears the last clue, he is able to tell the ages correctly. Find the ages of the three daughters.

Solution

    1. Using the first clue,
      a*b*c = 36, Possibilities are:
      (1 - 1 - 36)
      (1 - 2 - 18)
      (1 - 3 - 12)
      (1 - 4 - 9)
      (1 - 6 - 6)
      (2 - 2 - 9)
      (2 - 3 - 6)
      (3 - 3 - 4)
    2. Using the second clue. You don't really know the seat number, but we would sum the possibilities anyway to see if it leads us a way.
      (a + b + c) = Seat Number
      (1 + 1 + 36) = 38
      (1 + 2 + 18) = 21
      (1 + 3 + 12) = 16
      (1 + 4 + 9) = 14
      (1 + 6 + 6) = 13
      (2 + 2 + 9) = 
      13
      (2 + 3 + 6) = 11
      (3 + 3 + 4) = 10
      Now logic says, if Mathematician's seat number would have been 11, he would have said the answer and wouldn't have required a third clue. He would need a third clue only in case of a confusion/doubt. We have two possibilities pointing towards 
      13.
    3. Third clue - The youngest daughter has blue eyes.
      (1 + 6 + 6) = 13
      (2 + 2 + 9) = 13 - Twin sisters - cannot decide youngest.

Hence, the required ages are 1, 6 and 6. This was a que
