Why not selling game consoles in Russia won’t stop Putin from invading Ukraine

Or what the western public doesn’t understand about Russia’s motives — Russia is like that aggressive bully at high school who constantly mocks people around, beats nerds, and flexes muscles all the time.

So true. Starting to read came as an antidote to me.

So true. Starting to read came as an antidote to me. It lifts up a lot of illusions. Once you make reading a habit, you understand how wasting precious time on any other activity that doesn't teach you something practical is totally useless. It becomes almost like meditation. Once you are in the flow of reading, joy kicks in.

Kindle is amazing.

Kindle is amazing. It is like a global library with the widest selection available to you with one click. Especially with Kindle Unlimited. Together with Kindle + Audible, I am finishing on avg 2 books a week. Once done, I go through the highlights, brainstorm on them and add my notes to those highlights right on Kindle. Good one for knowledge retention. This, you can't do with physical books. Or you can do, but with enormously higher effort.
