I'm a full-stack dev interested in startups/indie hacking. I'm most familiar with Python, Vue, and Angular, and I'm currently learning Go.

Most impressive thing I've ever done: I got a perfect score on the LSAT.

If you find my ideas interesting or want to contact me, you can find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NathanWailes

Does anyone know where I can find more film budgets broken down in detail like this?

I spent some time examining Stripe's login page decorative background and concluded it's built around two ideas: 1) a diagonal line that crosses through the midway point between the input boxes and the submit button, and 2) vertical lines spaced out half the width of the card. There are then slight variations around those two ideas that make the page more interesting, which I compare to how music is more interesting when the sound has variation around an aesthetically-pleasing tone/chord (e.g. timbre).

I feel like I can sense the "stuffiness" (CO2) in a room apart from the scent, but I do think it would be worth an experiment to make sure. I agree it's a potential confounding(?) variable.

Wow, I never knew that. My memories are based mostly on being in the woods in Maine, which is mostly pine trees IIRC. I wonder if I could get the same benefit from putting pine needles in my room or something.

yeah that's a great point, I need to come up with some way to measure it.

thank you for the advice!

thank you for the warning! I wasn't planning to set it to pure oxygen, just ~22% (if I can even set them that low), but now I'm scared of the possibility of an accident.

I definitely feel like I'm not breathing the same quality air when I'm in my room vs when I'm in the woods. I'm not sure how much of an issue it is, though. It might just be me getting hung up on every little annoyance. But I do suspect I'd think better if I was in a slightly more oxygen rich environment than my room.
