Ethan's Wiki Update #9
Hi, a YouTube video worth watching this week.
What’s New
Well-being Page: Cozy video games can quell stress and anxiety | Reuters Graphics (HN)
Relaxing nature, play at your own pace, typically constructive rather than destructive
Self care, lending a helping hand, talk to others
Increase mental health, life satisfaction, reduce stress, manage ADHD
One game suggested in the thread is A Short Hike, seems nice
Well-being Page: I hate my phone so I got rid of it by Eddy Burback
Sounds clickbait, but it's not. I enjoyed the story telling and humour in it.
It is a really well documented story of not using a phone for 30 days
It is not all pros, there are cons. But it is about changing the relationship with it
Stop the mindless consumption of information that we soon don't even remember
One provoking point is, to some degree, we all probably know what will be the outcome of getting less addicted to our phone, it's just we never get started
Engineering Page: Technical & Theoretical Aspects of RC Yacht Racing (HN)
Approximately 300 pages of technical materials, formulas, spreadsheets, etc.
No absolute beginners introductions but should be appealing to someone who knows the basics
Technical explanation starting from aerofoils, to fins, sails and hull design
Focus on RC Yacht Racing but the math and formula should scale up
Random
I was trying to find a random page that I haven’t touched in a while to share here, but those pages just feel empty. The Wiki still feels empty. There is a lot of content can be added. Stay tuned for new updates.
But the idea of no phones, use less phones, restrict using social media has been on my mind for the past week. That YouTube video is worth watching.
