I am sorry, I forgot to specify that the pain comes from breathing. It's not making breathing difficult enough to make me stop running because of that, it really is more the pain from breathing that makes me stop. And I do not experience pain, when holding my breath and running.

Since I have asthma, it's the first culprit to suspect, but you are right, I should talk with a health professional about this. It just seemed so normal to me by now, that I didn't consider it a health issue and more a nuisance.

Thank you for your input and making me realize that this might not be normal despite having asthma!

Thank you for taking the time to troubleshoot this with me!

I do not do breathing exercises, never considered doing some tbh. I usually just immediately run with no warm-up. I remember having had less to no problems with my asthma during runs, when I was younger, thus I have an image of a normal way to run, which is modeled after my young adulthood. That is probably one of my mistakes now that I am older.

The lung pain occurs in the lower lungs and doesn't happen in other situations than running/jogging/sprinting.

Humidity might be a possibility, but I have the same problem during high summer as well as deep winter. I live in a temperate climate zone.

Your questions bring back an idea that I had some time ago, which was, that I might not use my full lung volume, when breathing normally, and that, when I am running, I might take deeper breaths accessing the lower lung volume, where the inflammation of the asthma may be more severe (?) thus causing pain? Unfortunately I do not remember if a gasping breath didn't reduce/alleviate the pain or if I just didn't find this the right way to breath, when running.

Jogging slower helps, but I think, that is more due to me breathing more normally.

Your approach makes me want to measure the on-set, frequency and context of my asthma pain during runs and come back to you in a couple months to share my insights with you! :D

By the gods... what did I just experience?! This was incredible. Thank You so much!

Why don't you just leave the companies out, where you got let go and worked at for only a short time? How does leaving them in add value, if you think that recruiters think that you are flaking? Maybe a more minimalist resume (education+last job) would do you better? Let's be honest here for a moment. Everybody stretches the truth on their resume a little bit. Why not extend the periods of your prior work experience to make them seem less spotty?

What do you usually tell recruiters, when they ask, why you left those companies? I hope you don't mention your untreated ADHD. Firstly recruiters want to know, that you add value and that you are loyal. How do you communicate these qualities?

As a suggestion, you could communicate the first by phrasing your time there as the completion of a project/product and a subsequent move on. Additionally you could be honest about the companies not being a good fit, which makes the decision to leave after a completed project seem mature and reasonable. Playing a misfit with start-up-spirit when interviewing at conventional companies and vice versa could help too.

Regarding the coding challenges. It's never about the solution, but all about the way to get there. They want to see how you think, how you approach a problem. Go from broad to detailed, from raw to refined, start simple, and talk with them, explain what you do and why you do it.

Another thing I feel that needs to be addressed are your sicknesses and disorders. Would a compensation really help? What would you need, to be compensated for your disadvantage? How much time is that compared to the base time you would be given?

Can you elaborate? I'm interested to understand this better, both what neoclassical economics exactly is what characteristics make it a cult.

It's a system to organize information based on the following criteria:

  • Location
  • Alphabet
  • Time
  • Category
  • Hierarchy

Thank you! This is pretty much how I go about it, but the manual work load is still great.

In my case it is the adoption of LATCH, a concept I only encountered after I had already been using Obsidian for some time. Not to mention that my LATCH template already changed once or twice, until I found what works for me, but this still leaves the possibility open for future changes to it and another round of mass edits. Deciding on a more fundamental level, if and how or if at all I should address these changes is a question that I have not yet found a decisive answer to.

Well it's not just meta data. I write only the bare necessities in an actual YAML header, the rest of the front matter goes into a comment section below that. This gives me the option to add links as meta data. What I would like to do is to embed older notes with LATCH. This would help with cataloging and indexing, which would in turn help with identifying merge-able topics, relating topics and reviewing notes.

I could ask you the same about being subscribed to this community. To live, we have to decide that some things do matter at least personally. And even though nothing matters in the grand scheme of things, I would still like this community to be a place for like-minded people.

I also think that communities like these are a good first place for people coming into contact with nihilism. Nihilism is in a sense kind of a done topic, but what isn't done is the influx of new people. Thus, even though communities like this may cycle through individual engagement faster than others, I believe that they are nonetheless a good experience to have had. And hey, maybe even a seasoned veteran like you might pick up a good book recommendation or something.

So I would challenge your question: Why not? What's the point in not doing it?

Is anyone else here interested in cosmology? What are your thoughts and how did this influence your nihilist beliefs?

Thanks for the suggestion. I had never heard of him before. Which of his works would you recommend as a starter?
