Psychologists say people who would rather stay home on weekends rather than go out and party almost always display these 7 unique traits

I’ll be honest with you. There was a time when I felt guilty about this. Friday evening would come around and mates from my corporate days would be making plans. Drinks in Soho. Someone’s birthday. A bar that someone had read about somewhere. And I’d look at my phone, look at my sofa, and quietly ... Read more Read more

Доктор Java лечит моторы: от симптомов к диагнозу

Привет всем!Ко мне часто обращаются молодые инженеры с вопросом: «А зачем вообще идти в аспирантуру?» Я обычно рассказываю, какие плюсы и минусы есть у такого шага — как учёба прокачивает навыки, помогает упорядочить знания и освоить грамотную постановку экспериментов.

There’s a specific kind of person who cleans the entire house before they allow themselves to rest, and they’re not neat. They grew up in a home where relaxation was only permitted after visible proof of productivity, and their nervous system still requires an entrance fee for stillness.

People who compulsively clean before allowing themselves to rest aren't neat — they're obeying a childhood rule that made relaxation conditional on visible productivity, and their nervous system still demands proof of worthiness before it permits stillness. Read more

Psychology explains people who grew up in the 1960s aren’t just tougher — they developed a specific kind of resilience that comes from being raised in an era when emotional comfort wasn’t considered a basic right

In 1966, a developmental psychologist named Diana Baumrind published a study that would change how we think about parenting. Working out of the University of California, Berkeley, she identified three distinct styles: authoritarian, authoritative, and permissive. Her research was groundbreaking. But here’s the thing that always strikes me about that timing. The generation being raised ... Read more Read more

It's America's first large-scale offshore wind project, reports WBUR — enough clean energy to power 400,000 homes in Massachusetts from 62 offshore wind turbines generating 800 megawatts. But it took a while... The plant's first construction delay happened back in 2019, they point out — and then "Just three months ago, when the project was 95% complete, the U.S. Interior Department issued a stop-work order."
