Just stop!
But what helped me: often smoking is part of a daily routine or ritual, so mix up your routine. Take up a new hobby or take the bus instead of the car. Go for a walk after lunch. Giving up smoking is a big change, so don’t be afraid to make big changes. Get new clothes. Make new friends. You have discarded your old identity as a smoker. Still smoking? Doesn’t matter! You already want to stop - you’re becoming that person already.
And don’t be so hard on yourself if you have a smoke now and then. Be conscious of what situation or routine triggered the reflex, and change it in future. If you have a smoke every few days or weeks, don’t sweat it, you’ve broken addiction as far as I’m concerned!
Thanks. Damn autocorrect.
Back in the 80s, Don Norman popularized the term affordance. Humans need something to push, pull, turn or otherwise interact with. We are physical beings in a physical world.
Driving vehicles is potentially life-endangering. Just because the technology is there and cheaper does not mean that humans can push aside their physiological limitations in a critical situation.
Take the emergency blinker. You know where it is, you see it all the time - it’s right there in front of you! But when a real emergency happens, you’ll be fumbling for the button, concentrating on the situation at hand. Now imagine that button on a touchscreen.
Also greatly helped by the free pitstop.
Was hat Landespolitik mit Außenpolitik zu tun? Wenn die BSW so wenig kompromissbereit ist dann sollen die halt in die Opposition gehen.
Just recently saw a video of an experimental self driving vehicle from Bosch - from the 90’s!

You could imagine we’d be much further now, considering how far computing power, computer vision and AI have come.
Also not exactly cheap!
If you’re into self-hosting there’s Wallabag, but it’s not half as slick as Omnivore.
I remember he was crazy like that during his first race in Brazil and thought he would calm down with the years. Nope, still crazy.
Crossing my fingers that Norris gains a spot or two at the start and doesn’t have to deal with Verstappen on track.
The current rules are just a complete and utter disaster. Instead of leaving a car’s width, it’s the car ahead at the apex that gets the corner.
The main problem is that there is no clear idea where exactly the apex is, and which line to draw from that apex. And then you get different rulings for similar actions. See for example Piastri, who got 5 seconds for forcing Gasly off track.
I hate the whole situation. The only way to overtake Verstappen is to not be near him, because he understands the rules best and uses them to his advantage. It’s been like this for years and it’s toxic for good racing.
Und selbst wenn es genehmigt würde: wer ist krank genug damit fliegen zu wollen?
Was genau versprechen die sich von einem Untersuchungsausschuss? Welche rechtlichen Konsequenzen könnten daraus entstehen für Drosten & co? Ich vermute, dass es in erste Linie reine Stimmungsmache ist.
Could someone eli5 to me old fart why it’s a good idea to restrict content to a certain time? Increase engagement, OK, but why so much effort to create content that disappears after two weeks?
Yeah what happened to leaving a car’s width?
It’s a character from German kid’s books.A witch called Bibi Blocksberg.
Ich sekundiere dies.
