Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....
This was semi-debunked by James Hoffman semi-recently.
Technically yes lighter roast has more caffeine in the beans because less is burned off.
However, you use more darker roast because lighter roast is heavier (because darker is effectively more dry). Also because the darker roast is more roasted, the caffeine in the beans may be more easily accessible/dissolvable.
I’m looking to wall mount a 55” TV at home. It’s weight is specified at about 13kg. Will it be fine to only fasten it in the stud on one of the sides? Our walls are regular drywall.
Honestly, even when my TV mount can reach two studs, I still attach a 2"x3" to the studs, then attach the mount to the 2"x3". Reasons:
Studs aren’t always going to be centered on the mount. Yes I know some are meant to handle this, but it seems less than ideal.
The 1.5" or so gap you get between the mount and the wall because of the 2"x3" is useful for cable management.
Seems way stronger (haven’t tested but it just feels that way)
if you need to move the TV left and right, you’re just putting more holes in the 2x3, not the wall (yes I know some mounting brackets allow for a level of left-right adjustment, but not all of them do)
You’ll need 2-2x3 (or 2x4… but 2x3 is cheaper and plenty strong enough) that is long enough to span between 2 or more studs. 1 is for the top of the mount. 1 is for the bottom of the mount. Attach them to the studs so they are level and parallel and the spacing between the 2x3s is the same as the spacing between the spots on the TV mount that where the bolts/screws go through.
Note: you have to use structural wood screws or lag screws that are of sufficient length to go through the 2x3, through the drywall, and attach sufficiently to the stud in the wall. You’ll likely want 3.5"-4" structural wood screws or lag screws. It won’t hurt to also use flat washers so the structural wood screws/lag bolts hold even better and don’t pull themselves through into the 2x3.
Good luck! Have mounted several TVs for myself and others (up to 92" screens) and haven’t had one fall off yet!
Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

TIL Japan has something called アメリカンコーヒー, often referred to in English by the unintentionally condescending name "weak coffee".
