overview for berryjam

There was a short story I read by one of the great Russian authors (name escapes me atm). A young man made a bet with a banker that he would spend 10 years in solitary confinement and be provided with any reading material he asked for. If he could endure it the whole 10 years, the banker would reward him with a handsome amount of money.

Tap for spoiler

He sticks it out for nearly the entire period and leaves the night before the time is up.

Fantastic story, thought about it pretty regularly throughout college.

If this rings any bells, I'd love to be reminded of the name!

Edit: Nvm, I found it! The Bet by Anton Chekhov

For the purpose of this question, the target age range is 20-30. Asking because I feel like I'm wasting my youth.

Looking for a gentle daily shampoo (lemmy.world)

Please recommend me a shampoo! I have 2b/2c wavy hair. I currently use tresemme flawless curls shampoo+conditioner 2x/week. I'm looking to start using a gentle shampoo more often now that it's summer and I'm working out 6 days a week.

US drugstore brands preferred but I wouldn't mind driving to a cosmetics store to stock up. :)

(I hope it's okay to post here - the hair communities I could find are all inactive.)

If you had $200 to spend on fitness, what would you spend it on? (lemmy.world)

It's a one-time payment. You can spend it on anything fitness or health related.

Edit: I'm not looking for recommendations, I'm curious what YOU would spend it on.

I have 2 dozen eggs to use up (lemmy.world)

The best by date is in 2 days. I know about the water test for egg freshness so I'm not super concerned, but please give me ideas for using them up within a week or so 🥺 I've boiled a few and am planning to make some cookie dough, but that only counts for half a dozen.

How bad is it if I slack off on accessories? (lemmy.world)

Recently got back into the gym and feel absolutely wiped after about 4 lifts. Lately I've been doing an A/B style routine where:

Workout A: Squat, bench, RDL, row.
Workout B: Deadlift, OHP, leg press, lat pulldown

Now I'm not asking for program critique, but I'm wondering if it's okay to not do more accessories?

Can I use the HDD from my laptop in a self-built PC? (lemmy.world)

submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Laptop battery recently died, and I'm planning a new PC build anyway, so I'm wondering: can I just remove the HDD from my laptop and connect it to the motherboard? Would I need any extra parts or hardware? I'm guessing no, but it's hard to research on my phone. Any guidance is appreciated :) thanks!

First build, looking for feedback (lemmy.world)

Hi, I am looking to build my first PC. It will be for general use (web browsing, programming, office work; no gaming).

Here is my part list: PCPartPicker

I based it on the Logical Increments minimum tier. I will be using Arch Linux for the OS.

Some questions...

How painful is it to update the motherboard BIOS?
Am I missing anything obvious? I'm unsure if I need a sound card, for example. Newegg says this motherboard has a wifi and bluetooth module. Is there anything else I should consider getting?
Is there a way to check if any of the parts will not work/be incompatible with my chosen OS? I've never had a problem with Linux drivers on any of my laptops, so I'm fairly confident it will be fine, but I still want to make sure.

Thanks :)
