I like James Clear's idea of "habit stacking" from his book Atomic Habits. For example, every time you brush your teeth - clean the bathroom/sink real quick. Then, you're ensuring every time you brush your teeth (which should be at least once a day), you're getting the bathroom clean as well.
That is absolutely hilarious. Flashback to a similar technology `sleight of hand` -
Back in middleschool, when JavaScript's window.open allowed you easily to launch a fullscreen window with no browser chrome, and setting the background-image to a screenshot of the desktop... it was so entertaining watching students and teachers alike try to use the machine and thinking it was frozen!
Tape on the bottom of the mouse is another common joke these days.
If the OS you are using has a taskbar, also set it to auto-hide, preferably in a random location.
As always, that kind of elaborate joke is best kept short. I also like replacing someone's shell with `wine cmd`, but nowadays the best protection for myself is that nobody seems to be able to use my computer (sway, full of shortcuts that you have to know in order to do anything). I'm similarly dumbfounded when at my friend's computers. Luckily, this is all fixed by opening a good old POSIX-compliant shell :)
In college, during the time I worked at the campus library in Stack Maintenance, on some days I also worked in the library computer lab. A joke we played on one friend was to take a screenshot of the regular computer desktop and make that the startup screen.
And the background screen.
And then use ResEdit to allow us to hide all the rest of the regular UI elements unless you typed the magic keyboard combination to un-hide them.
But that was a joke we played on a single friend. We knew that our friend could take a joke, and he wouldn't try to take revenge against us, or anything. No way we would do that on the general public.
There's very little evidence that completely abstaining from meat (animal based protein) brings any meaningful advantages from the perspective of life span. In fact in general, it's far more difficult to build a complete diet eating vegan only. I of course do think there's a moral argument to a vegan lifestyle, and am a definitely a strong proponent on that end.
Personally, I think a vegetarian diet strikes a better balance that's also more sustainable in the long term, assuming that you also do care about maximizing life span as well.
Your link has some great information. Plants are highly nutritious, and people who don't get enough of them are probably unlikely to be as healthy as they could be.
That, however, doesn't preclude meat being beneficial as well. It's not an analog one is better than the other, and it doesn't mean you can't build a complete diet being vegan either. It's possible, in fact, to build a complete diet eating meat only as well if you really wanted to. Generally though, it's far more difficult, and you have to be pretty meticulous about what you eat in addition to probably having to supplement additional micronutrients into your diet to do so.
B12 you can get from a pill. The same stuff they inject into beef. [1]
So if you skip eating red meat, you can avoid the toxins from cooking, such as HCA and PAH [2], the exogenous cholesterol, atherosclerotic carnitine [3], hormones, etc. I think that's a better way to get B12.
If you feed cows corn all day every day, yes they need B12 injections. I buy beef from a local butcher and the beef comes from our local farm of pasture-raised cows. It's more expensive but because of this it limits my beef intake to a few times a month.
liver == steak * 1000
Only problem is being able to stomach liver a few days every month. I know it's a super food but I'll be damned if I can eat it more than once every few months.
