Same, adderall works but my heart rate is going up too much and I take it sparingly. Trying to exercise more and quit smoking (I know, awful) but for now I'm just not taking it and doing my best. Which right now consists of working on a bunch of lemmy scripts instead of studying for pre-nursing, although I'd prefer CS but I'm afraid of the industry and I'm old (43). FML

Russia won't stop unless they run out of funding. And Russia is not our friend. They have no qualms interfering with our and other countries elections and have shown they don't respect borders. You don't want Russia to get stronger at this point, if they let off attacking Ukraine then you negotiate. You don't reward a bully when they are being a bully.

Agreed, although I'll add a few things. Protein has a much higher thermic effect of food (TEF), meaning your body expends more energy processing it. Protein and carbs both contain around 4 calories/gram and fat around 9, but TEF is roughly 20–30% for protein, 5–10% for carbs and 0–3% for fat. In other words, your body burns roughly that percentage of the calories from each just processing them.

More importantly, protein supplies the amino acids your body needs to maintain and rebuild muscle; carbs can't substitute for the essential amino acids you have to get from your diet. That's particularly useful during a caloric deficit, when you're trying to lose fat while preserving muscle, and as you get older and age-related muscle loss becomes a concern.

Protein also tends to be more satiating than carbs or fat and affects appetite hormones like ghrelin, GLP-1 and CCK. So while there's no magic number of calories that adding protein will make you eat less, the evidence supports protein making it easier to feel satisfied on fewer calories.

So protein helps you maintain muscle, makes you feel fuller per calorie, and costs your body more energy to process. There are pretty good reasons people trying to lose fat, build/maintain muscle, or stay healthy as they age to seek out higher-protein foods. The marketing obsession didn't come out of nowhere, even if companies take advantage of it by plastering the protein content across the front of the package while leaving things like carbs, saturated fat, and total calories much less prominent.

No one should have gotten access to social media. It amplifies all of our own worst qualities.

I do it all myself and just follow guides very slowly. Haven't had a problem in 7 years, not everyone that does DIY is a moron.

Which is why I make it a point to buy bikes with standardized parts. I'm not giving money to companies that use proprietary parts.

Idk about all bikes, but on my mountain bike with hydraulic brakes I replaced the line, filled and bled it just fine. Has been maintenance free for years. I did buy the tools for it, but it's not as hard as people make it out to be. Just gotta go slow and learn the process.

This is comparing different DE's how is this at all useful? They could literally compare kde in Wayland and x11 directly (at least until 6.8) and yet didn't? This is more comparing different implementations in an apples to oranges comparison than Wayland and x11 implementations in an apples to apples comparison.

What exactly do you think children are losing out on specifically in regards to accessibility when most apps these days are accessed through a web browser or interface? You can always have some specialty computers in certain departments for learning things like video or photo editing that may not work well on Linux but for most general purpose computing, open source more than covers those needs.

People eat more than they need because modern society makes it incredibly easy to, and we're removed from the survival conditions that made high-energy foods so attractive to us in the first place. The American lifestyle is particularly bad in this regard, with our car-dependent cities, sedentary lifestyles, abundance of cheap, calorie-dense food, and food companies that spend heavily on advertising and lobby politicians to keep regulations and labeling requirements favorable to them.

There's a difference between throwing them in jail and getting them treatment or moving them. Low income areas unfortunately are often ignored and most affected by their behavior. And really it's not every homeless drug user that's a problem, and it depends on there drug of choice and how mentally for they are. Sometimes they are just using drugs to cope with a very difficult situation. The problem with accusatory posts like you're is that they lack any nuance and are filled with vitriolic rage.

Ya but the general hysteria is that any AI use is bad and that we can only trust this AI use because its from Linus. I've used AI successfully for debugging and learning new code bases and patches and I've been told I'm wrong for doing so.
