I back up 5 Terabytes (!!) of photos and videos (from more than one disk), and Backblaze was quick uploading and is super easy to manage. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Popular books in 12 minutes<\/strong><br \/>\nI recently got a subscription to 12min, a library of condensed non-fiction books (audio and text). New titles are added all the time. I\u2019ve found it especially useful to refresh my memory on books I read years ago, like Richard Dawkins\u2019\u00a0<em>The Selfish Gene<\/em>, Yuval Noah Harari\u2019s\u00a0<em>Sapiens<\/em>, Nassim Nicholas Taleb\u2019s\u00a0<em>Fooled By Randomness<\/em>, and Tim Ferriss\u2019s\u00a0<em>Tools of Titans<\/em>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/stacksocial.com\/sales\/12min-premium-lifetime-subscription?aid=a-j2ferhvk&amp;utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">A lifetime subscription to 12min is $39<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inspiration for Overthinkers<\/strong><br \/>\nI love this small, illustrated handbook for easing anxiety: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0762497696\/recomendos-20\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Get Out of My Head: Inspiration for Overthinkers in an Anxious World<\/em><\/a>. It has become a roadmap to help me navigate out of my anxieties and distortions, and it\u2019s so much more magical than it is clinical. You can pick it up and start anywhere in the book at any time, and you\u2019ll find playful ways to reframe your thinking and easy actionable advice to try now. My favorite part of the book is that it comes with an even smaller pocket book inside, with soothing illustrations, that acts as a visual tool to help you, \u201cwhen something is wrong, but nothing is wrong.\u201d \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Music for videos and other projects<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/dig.ccmixter.org\/?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Dig CC Mixter<\/a>\u00a0is a library of music you can use for free in videos, performances, podcasts, video games, or other projects. It\u2019s well organized and it\u2019s easy to listen to samples of the music. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>9 common thinking biases<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m sure I\u2019m afflicted by a lot of cognitive biases, but I like this list of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyinfographic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/E0B9142C-1325-4D6F-AC64-E7AC775BC2B2.jpeg?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">9 common biases<\/a>, because of the short advice on how to overcome them. I\u2019ll admit that I struggle with the halo effect \u2014\u00a0\u201cwhen your overall impression of someone is influenced by one part of their character\u201d \u2014 but I\u2019m working on it and trying to appreciate humans in all their complexities. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teflon frying pan alternative<\/strong><br \/>\nA surprisingly workable alternative to a Teflon frying pan is a ceramic coated pan. We use a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B07Y8Z89L4\/recomendos-20\" target=\"_blank\">GreenPan<\/a>\u00a0(it\u2019s actually white ceramic inside) that unsticks as well as old Teflon. The cheap Teflon pans we use only last about 4 years. Our GreenPan is 5 years old and shows no wear. The 10 inch GreenPan is $25. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recomendo: issue no. 205<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13684,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[2323],"tags":[2324],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36395"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13684"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36395"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36398,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36395\/revisions\/36398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
