I hope that journaling will help me stop wasting time scrolling on social mediate and media in general. Journaling is basically just writing stuff on paper. You could write about anything and it it doesn't even have to make sense. The important thing is to start writing and a little every day and do this consistently. You can do it in your native language and even in English if you're feeling brave. Listen to my podcast for more journaling benefits and ideas on what to journal about.

Have you ever hurt your neck while watching TV and wondered if it's been mounted too high? Well, you're not the only one. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who discuss the subject on Reddit every day.

From breaking news to fandoms, and from memes to life's biggest questions, Reddit is a website that encourages people to discuss any subject that interests them.

The platform has over 100,000 communities, or "subreddits," that are created by users. And a subreddit about TV placement is in the top 1% of popular communities.

The community known as "TV Too High" is among the website's largest, with over 200,000 members. Here, photos of TVs in homes, hotels and other spaces are posted and often met with hundreds of comments discussing whether or not the TV has been placed at a good height.

One photo posted to the community in September 2024 showed a TV mounted above a door, with one user commenting, "Spiders on the ceiling fan have a great view."

Another photo showing a TV mounted above a staircase received over 500 comments, with one user saying, "This might be the worst one I've ever seen."

But is there a perfect height for a TV?

One user posted a guide based on advice from the subreddit. It included things like: "If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH," and, "If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH."

Another user posted a photo of a guide from a TV manufacturer. It said the best height for a TV when viewing while sitting down is 107 centimeters from the center of the TV screen to the floor — although some users said this was still too high!

Is Your TV Too High? Reddit Weighs In

こんばんは。
Atsushiです。

今日は6/24、金曜日。
天気は雨。とても強く降っています。
気温は、17℃。

ですので、今日は家で録音しています。



今日はオンラインコーヒーショップをしている理由について話します。

僕は去年まで、20年間、コーヒーチェーンで店長として働いていました。ですので、コーヒーがとても好きです。

コロナ禍になり、自宅でコーヒーを焙煎しはじめました。
焙煎したてのコーヒーを飲む機会がほとんどなかったので、香りの良さにとても驚きました。

その体験から、この気持ちをいろんな人に味わってもらいたくて、オンラインのコーヒーショップを立ち上げました。

オーダーが入ってから、1人1人のコーヒーを焙煎して、送っています。

時間はかかりますが、香りが良いので、とても幸せな時間です。

届いたコーヒーを喜んでくれる方もたくさんいるので、とても嬉しいです。

これからも、誰かの毎日を香り豊かにできるようなコーヒーを届けたいと思います。


ということで、今日はこれで終わります。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
