I’m definitely in the “for almost everything” camp. It’s less ambiguous especially when you consider the DD/MM vs MM/DD nonsense between US dates vs elsewhere. Pretty much the only time I don’t use ISO-8601 is when I’m using non-numeric month names like when saying a date out loud.
In Canada we use MM/DD and DD/MM so you never quite know which it is! There’s an expense spreadsheet I fill out for work that uses one format in one place and the other format in another…
They’re called mini aux speakers. The sound quality will be absolute crap and it will stick out like a giant goiter, but they’re pretty cheap and easy to find. They used to be used for mp3 players and walkmans that didn’t have a built in speaker.
Be cautious about carrying it in your pocket. Bending over and sitting down with it plugged into your phone can put stress on your aux port and kill it, leaving you worse off than when you started.

It’s just a catchy headline, I expect the article itself would actually discuss some of the reasons one might skip breakfast. And there are good reasons to skip breakfast, money aside.
If one suggests restricting how much one eats out of financial reasons, then that is a clear indicator that very likely there’s a big systemic problem in the room we aren’t discussing.
I agree. Malnourishment due to inequality (or any other reason) is bad. I also agree that there is a systemic problem where healthy food is drastically less accessible than unhealthy food.
I don’t, however, think that this headline is an outrageous thing to say. I, for one, am choosing to buy less food than I usually eat (especially meat) due to its cost, but also for health and environmental reasons. There is more nuance than just “eat the rich”.
Stupid article aside, a large filling breakfast being good for you and the whole “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” is a complete and utter lie invented for advertisement.
The point wasn’t to skip breakfast, it was that a big one isn’t necessary. Have a piece of toast, have a giant breakfast or none at all. It’s usually fine to follow your bodies need if you’re hungry or thirsty. It’s just that some people think it’s important to have a big breakfast, which is a untrue. A small refreshing or nurishing one is much better in many cases.
You just need a headphone attached to a trs plug. With most phones, if you don't use a trrs plug it'll keep the main phone mic active but route the earpiece audio to the headphones.
Or you buy a replacement speaker and solder a 3.5mm audio jack on it, but I don’t know if the headphone jack has enough power to power an external speaker
I had a disabled cat (heart failure, nearly blind, digestive issues, and severe brain damage) who went absolutely bonkers for strawberries. He was always trying to steal them. He was never successful. One day I caved and gave him a slice of a strawberry. He sniffed it then left. The next time I ate strawberries he went right back to trying to steal them. He was such a little shithead, but was the best cat I’ve ever had.
He was hunting strawberries and played with his prey ;). Cats are so weird, I don’t know what I’d do without mine. Their weirdness is a huge source of entertainment and comfort at the same time.
Off topic but I don’t think breakfast is any more or less important than a meal any other time of the day. Most days I only eat one big meal around dinnertime and maybe have a few bites of some snack throughout the day. I’ve been like that for years now it started from doing 12 hour construction shifts where I’d just work all day with a coffee and maybe an apple or something then eat a big meal once I was home. I don’t do construction anymore but the way I eat stuck with me. It’s probably worth pointing out that I’m very fit and a healthy bodyweight (5’10 152lbs) and I don’t suffer any negative effects from living like this. I’d say I’m healthier than 90% of the people I know.
16/8 is the most common intermittent fasting protocol for begginers. 20/4 is recommended in case of autoimmune disease, to reverse leaky gut and insulin resistance.
Found this from Google, can’t make any guarantees about the quality and it seems a bit unwieldy for a phone unless you take it off to put it in a pocket.
If you’re not planning on upgrading any time soon, a repair shop might be a good option. A smartwatch is a good workaround as they can give notifications and calls but they can be pricey.
