  • Don’t eat within a few hours of going to bed. It’s likely you have light acid reflux and sleeping with a full stomach, particularly when it’s full of something so rich and acidic, will compound the problem significantly.

    Also I’d recommend lowering the amount you’re eating. Eat just until you’re no longer hungry, not to the point that you’re full. If you want an extra slice later as a snack cold pizza is awesome, but you can’t un-eat the slice or slices that are punishing your guts.

    I feel like people are doing a disservice by using the phrase “toxic masculinity”

    You can’t use that phrase without implying masculinity in general is a bad thing. Trying to draw a distinction between “masculinity” and “toxic masculinity” is using the same logic as the people that say “but you’re not one of the bad ones.” when they’re talking to someone of [insert race, gender, religion, etc].

    They’re toxic people that cause these problems. There’s nothing wrong with masculinity.








  • Note: Create your partitions from your empty space. You may need to resize your existing partition to do this. But don’t practice on your main drive.

    This is a simple job, in that the steps are few, but it’s something that causes catastrophic data loss if you get it wrong.

    I’d recommend buying a cheap second drive, doesn’t have to be big or even good. Partition it, mount it, make sure you can make the partitions automatically mount, teach yourself to copy data around, umount it and remount, make sure you got it right.

    Just… these are all very simple things. I wouldn’t hesitate to repartition my own drives. But if you fuck it up you fuck it up good. Make sure you know the operations you’re taking first. Measure twice, cut once, all that jazz.


  • Boot from a live distro so you can modify your boot disk. Use the disk utility to create partitions. Copy the data to the relevant partitions ensuring to maintain file ownership and permissions. Modify /etc/fstab to mount the partitions at the designated locations in the filesystem.

    I don’t bother putting anything but /home on its own dedicated partition, but if you ask 10 people this question you’ll get 12 opinions, so just do what feels right.
