@TeresaLisbon: actually I mentioned good night in the mo election chatroom and then visited this Cafe and tavern. So @amWhy made that comment. And yeah sleep is essential. The problem is that even if I sleep late I have to wake up early because the milkman arrives at 7:00am everyday
@ParamanandSingh I see! Yes, then 2-7 is like 5 hours, you don't sleep more than that? Wow, I need at least 6-7 hours, although I'd imagine having a child will substantially cut this number.
@ParamanandSingh I don't like this whole idea of informative and meaningful cinema, after a typical day at the office I'd prefer to watch soaps, dramas, comedies, I feel the need to lighten my mood. But yes, I don't tolerate anything misogynistic and there is quite a bit of that in cinema. Anyway, I don't wake up that early, maybe 8:30 or 8:00 is a good time for me, so 7 hours to sleep.
@soupless Sleep more! Find ways to sleep more. Maybe you need more activity, you know? Jump around, find sports to play, find things to do, feel tired at night and everything will fall into place.
Ah, but you should try to do a lot of work. Get a good amount of walking done, at the least. You are a student, so you still have plenty of time, but putting up a schedule now and following it will be very important. People ask me why at my age I'm going for football classes (I've been training with u-15s for some time, although I'm way beyond 15) , stretching, pulling muscles, running half-marathons, it's all to make sure I can fall asleep at night!
All the population in my city of my age, they are working in multi-national corporations and earning a lot of money, but their physical fitness (and therefore mental fitness), let's not even talk about it.
Other ways are very subtle. Doing household chores, buying things from the market, these things contribute as well. Honestly, participation in family life is itself a rewarding experience. Caring for others (this includes, of course, math.se in my case) means that you go out of your way to ensure their peace, and the same peace of mind drives you to sleep at night.
Oh. I guess it is really schoolworks. The horror of submitting after the deadline makes me think more and more before sleeping.
I wish for good luck to my life expectancy
@TeresaLisbon The tasks are complicated, and you will see after finishing one that you have another one to do. i procrastinate sometimes, but it is for math only :D
@soupless No no, don't worry. You have a lot of time to repair yourself, and get going. There are people in far worse situations than you, who now sleep peacefully.
@soupless Oh my god, that is very extremist. You can certainly go for 6 or 7.5 hours of sleep. My belief is that according to the sleep cycle, you should tailor yourself to sleep for a duration of a multiple of 1.5 hours, then apparently you wake up fresh. So 6 or 7.5 it is, since 4.5 is too little and 9 too much!
I saw a section there about graph theory. I really want to hold on to it for a little further, but it was time to return it to the library. Hopefully, I can borrow it again.
Well, who would prefer the scanned one over the book? Some people do, but not for me. Though I appreciate it if I received a scanned copy, I still feel that books are more superior.
@TeresaLisbon Oh. If you don't mind, can I take a look?
@soupless I see! No, in my case I actually prefer PDFs far more. I don't like books very much, I feel like I need to find physical space to keep them and I have none of that. I have like 8 books maybe, but I've got over 350 PDFs on various things. My only problem is : how do I send you a scan?
And which book do you want? The Sterling one, or the Berman-Fryer one? (Or maybe both, I'll see if I can get them from somewhere).
@soupless Turns out I actually have Berman and Fryer on my laptop! I think a scan was taken of it a few years ago, and I meticulously maintain PDFs for future use. I don't know about MediaFire, so if you come to the Lisbon room and give me your email ID, then I'll note it down, delete it in no time, and send you the PDF.
@Anthony maybe you could get a small one and teach it to be an apartment cow. as for experience, well, that's just what Big Milkman wants you to think. i bet a confident new cow owner could figure it out
@AlexanderGruber Well. not so much. I downloaded a lot of papers about SIR models, but I never opened them. Like why download it in the first place? Just, why?
@AlexanderGruber Hahaha! Like owning a pony instead of a horse? ;-D One would still, in the case of a small cow, need a very big litter box, or collar and leash to take it out for walks!
@amWhy i have three copies of this because they accidentally sent me 2, and then a friend gave me theirs when they retired. I don't know why I can't get rid of them. I don't even have a copy of my own dissertation
@AlexanderGruber Light Bulb!! Maybe we should, between this site and MO, create a chatroom for book exchanges! (classics in math, like Baby Rubin, of which I have three copies, and Grad books, maybe even chunks of journals ;D
@Anthony that sucks. i didn't either actually, i know what it's like. Lots of people say prom and graduation and such are lame but it sucks worse not to even have the option
I have to leave too. As @TeresaLisbon says, I need sleep. Even though I am in the state of "I don't need sleep, I need answers", I will sleep. Thanks, everyone!
@AlexanderGruber: I have enough space to keep not just one but many cows. Unfortunately the space has smooth marble floor and cows might find it difficult to walk on that kind of surface.
@amWhy it's made me acutely aware that i need to run for moderator somewhere else too. Look at me over here with only one diamond, letting quid and asaf outshine me
Frankly speaking I don't have any experience handling cows and I wouldn't want to have that kind of experience. On a serious note I don't like the taste of packaged milk sold in market. Milkman only dilutes with water. Don't know what corporates do with milk.
@ParamanandSingh Organic milk can be trusted. We went to the farm and the factory and only then did we agree for delivery. Only one middleman, quite trustworthy.
@ParamanandSingh In the US, all milk on the market is pasteurized and homogenized for sale. The first kills the risk of risky bacteria in fresh milk, and the second helps prevent milk from separating into cream and solids at the top, and skim milk at the bottom.
@amWhy: I follow all that due process manually (its common in Indian households). Boil the milk before consumption. Extract the cream from top, store cream to make ghee (clarified butter). The leftover skimmed milk is what we use.
@ParamanandSingh Pets are wonderful, particularly when you have the space for them. My roommate is a cat, BTW! And it will be great for your child... Start with a big dog, and move up to a cow ;D.
@ParamanandSingh Indeed! Does any one fuss with making cheese, or ice cream, in India? Perhaps they are produced by manufactures or stores, and marketed, but likely a bit of a project to do at home?
@amWhy: in India people do make cottage cheese (different from cheese) at home, but new generation buys from market. Cottage cheese is damn easy to make. Get cream milk. Add two teaspoon vinegar and boil
@Euler2 It refers to the trials and tribulations of any work one does. It doesn't literally, have much connection to actual wars, but yes, it stems from stories from soldiers in war, shared to one another. But it now means sharing challenges and difficulties, and also successes.
