Seems like I should probably try to learn to dance. Does anyone invested in yes have an opinion on which type of dancing classes I should sign up to? If there aren't any opinions I'll probably sign up to Salsa because I have a friend whose been going for a while and enjoys it

Read all the Booker prize novels for the last 20 years. (Substitute with another award if you prefer)

@Odoacre Maybe Hugo? Though Booker prize might be more novel since I haven't read any of the winners. I think I will add one of these, it's of the proper scale for what I imagined for this market. What do you think?

@colorednoise It's up to you of course, whatever you think would be more interesting. Personally I think I'd do the booker, if i wanted a challenge (while most of them are fine to excellent, some of them are not really my thing and I hate reading books I don't find myself invested in), and the Hugo if I wanted to have more fun. Alternatively you could do the Hugo AND the Booker for the last 10 years.

eat breakfast, compared to the counterfactual

See the eclipse

@derikk I'm in the middle east, do you think the travel is worth it?

@colorednoise there's a good one for you in 2027 https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2027-august-2

Ask someone out on a date

@Sinclair I think it's very likely that would happen by the closing date anyway based on my base "asking someone on date" rate when single

Spaced repetition reviews (eg Anki)

@derikk Already do Anki daily :) would have resolved yes

my acc balance

Going to take the first Amitriptyline pill now

By the way, if I try something like "learn to dance" or "workout every day for a month" and fail to finish it, I will probably still resolve Yes/No based on if I'm glad I tried it (compared to whatever the opprotunity cost was), and not NA.

You are much better off lifting hard 3x a week. Rest is part of the equation. If you don't need rest, you're not training nearly hard enough. Check out Renaissance Periodization on YouTube.

Lets do a batch:

Train a neural network

Learn chemistry/physics/math

Do absolutely nothing for an entire weekend

Try switching to Linux (if not already)

Build a VanDeGraaph generator

Taste hydroxylic acid

Climb a mountain

@CyfralCoot

Train a neural network - already done

Learn chemistry/physics/math - i majored in physics and computer science and i know lots of math, but maybe i can add "learn chemistry"?

Do absolutely nothing for an entire weekend - already done

Try switching to Linux - already a linux user

Taste hydroxylic acid - already a heavy drinker of hydroxylic acid :P

Haven't done the last two, I'll add stuff in a batch tonight, maybe including those + learn chemistry (do you have a way to make it more specific?)

@colorednoise oh wow I didn't know you've already done so much. Don't even know anymore what to suggest.

I'm a chemist myself, and I started learning it a very long time ago, so I don't know exactly which section to recommend to learn, given that I don't know what you know.

@CyfralCoot I don't think I know any chemistry, like beyond ph levels

Loving-kindness meditation every day for 5m for a week

@Paul added

If you try amitriptyline and it doesn't help you, will you resolve No (because it failed) or Yes (because you're glad you tried)?

@Shemetz I expect that if there are no side effects and no benefits I'll resolve yes, since I've been curious about this for a while, but if I spend a couple weeks being miserable for no benefit I'll resolve no

Trying weightlifting every day for a month

@Paul added

@colorednoise would not recommend weightlifting every single day if you haven't lifted before or stopped for a long time. You will likely be extremely sore after the first few workouts, 2-4 times a week is more reasonable.

@Pzet Thanks, though I already do weightlift twice a week
