Roughly no one already says GSM. When talking about paper you'll hear people say things like "That's a sheet of 120 gram"

GSM basically only ever appears in print. If someone DOES ask "what does 120 gram mean here?" the clarification is going to be "Oh that's grams per square meter" and not "Oh that's gee es em"

I should mention GSM is also probably an americanism. I'm in the EU and out of the five packs of different kinds of art paper four are labeled in g/m2, and one has no labeled weight at all. None of them are marked in GSM as that abbreviation only works in english, while g/m2 works in all languages.

In the UK, "gee es em" was the usual term I heard at the local paper merchants when I was a regular customer in the late 90s - early 2000s.

Of the four reams of paper/card I have at home, two are labelled in "gsm", one is "g.m⁻²", and one uses both "g/m²" and "gsm" in different places. Weirdly, it seems that the specialist stuff is more likely to use "gsm" than the everyday 80 g/m² A4.

I guess the fact that over here GSM was also the term for a mobile phone for the longest time has affected things some.

> Doing anything usually involves prep work. Want to take a step? First put on your shoes (literally or figuratively, depending). If your attempted habit is 70% prep, your brain will somewhat rightfully conclude "this is stupid" fairly quickly.

Note that this is also something that can be weaponized. Recently I've learned to draw and I found I kept having great difficulty just starting. To get over that I made the agreement with myself that at least once every two days, I would grab a pencil and page through my sketchbook. I'd find myself on the first blank page holding a pencil.

Turns out your brain thinking prep work without actual work is stupid really helps here. Once you've tricked yourself into doing the prep work, you might as well do the work-work.

e.g. for distance running: just make the deal with yourself that putting on your running clothes/shoes/etc and taking one step outside counts as having ran that day. You'll find yourself going for a run anyways once you get outside, because you might as well.

> "Just do X every day for [long time period]" has an inherent falsification problem

Very true, but unfortunately a lot of things worth doing require that sort of investment. When learning to draw I hated every single second for the first ~two months or so. And then like a switch getting flipped I started having fun.

> You can actually make steps so small that they're useless.

You should take the biggest steps you can actually keep yourself to. Maybe that leads to steps that are sub-optimally small, but taking useless steps is still doing more than taking no steps.

> Doing something daily for a long time is extremely hard to achieve

Oh for real, especially once you factor in force majeure. Hence why I went with "draw at least once every two days". That gives you wiggle room to plan around life events.

Turns out building habits is incredibly hard and no amount of seeking advise will do it for you. It's a slog and you gotta overcome that yourself one way or another.

It's probably illegal. It's not wrong though. I'm not generally a fan of vigilante justice, but with the rise of fascism lately it's better to act sooner than later.

The trick there is that when everyone else is drinking they'll be making huge social gaffes almost continually. Makes it much easier (for me at least) to relax and not worry so much.

Because it's easy. Say what you like about steam but it sure as hell made acquiring games super easy. On-par or easier than pirating.

It doesn't help that the game is objectively terrible. Worse than snakes and ladders by a mile. Especially the end-game is just... throwing dice and walking in a circle until some player gets unlucky.

Oh god, we've got a copy of this game somewhere. I'm pretty sure the clock is broken and runs too fast or something, because it's completely impossible to finish within the time limit. We always kept score based on how many pieces you actually got in before it exploded in your face.

A+ great game, hate to play it.

One hack to almost get a justified gallery like that with no javascript is to lay them out with flexbox, setting their width to a percentage or vw value which your backend calculates based on image aspect ratio and desired image height, use flex-grow to stretch them to fill remaining space, and then using background-position: cover to make the images fit the slightly wrong aspect ratio containers.

This will of course slightly crop all your images to make it fit, but in practice as long as you keep your image aspect ratios reasonable and the images small enough on the page it's really quite subtle.

I had hoped that this feature would provide for masonry like that, but one has to make do.

As far as I can tell happiness is relative in any case, I'm not sure that accounting for that in the question is a bad thing.

I've never been in a more orderly queue than when I went to a Sabaton concert.

I figure the music is the outlet for aggression, so there's no need to find an outlet in picking fights or things of that nature.
