When I get a phone I’ll pick from the included ringtones and then throw it on vibrate only.

UnderpantsWeevil raped me.

Well the best lawyers and most corrupt judges still can’t twist what happened on that island potentially decades ago to be part of his official duties, so he could actually go to jail. I suspect avoiding jail was the primary reason he even went for president again.

Sometimes you gotta.

I kind of want to pick one up, but i can’t get a clear picture on if I should wait for a steam deck 2. From what I could find, they want to wait until there’s enough of an upgrade to be worth it. At one point that suggested around 2025, but more recent stuff makes it seem like they’re not even working on one, and other stuff hints that they are.

It’s telling how incompetent they’ve become when their LLM AI is the absolute worst one, including mechahitler before that update.

Get some with color, conservatives are still afraid of being “gay”.

Or just don’t worry about it.

I got off of robinhood because of that. I didn’t participate, I just didn’t like that they would shut off trading on a stock. Moved to Fidelity instead.

Is that part of the superstition of it? Why are you an asshole for making a different bet? Surely it would’ve been 7 anyway, so at least you got something.

I love affinity, wish they’d support Linux and android though. They have an iPad app but no android tablet app.

That reminds me of that peanut butter, professor nutz. They claim that due to adding certain fibers to their peanut butter, it reduces the digested calories from around 200 calories to 36 calories. They took a concept that exists, fiber-fat bonding, and an in house pilot study of 6 people over 2 weeks, and use that to market this as some kind of miracle peanut butter. Is it technically possible that somebody eating that peanut butter only digests 36 calories per serving? Yes, but it’s (to me) very unlikely and changes person to person (which they admit).

Maybe my sources aren’t great, I use kagi nowadays over Google and they have an academic filter (like Google scholar). That’s all I used to find the few things I linked.

It’s well established that your fat cell count is relatively stable as an adult and that as you gain significant weight that your body creates more fat cells to store this energy. It’s known that the number of cells stay relatively stable even after losing weight, they just shrink. It’s also known that leptin, or lack there of, affects your hunger. These things specifically are well documented. Other points of what I shared, and the overall impact may be, still hypothetical.

I’m not going to keep looking for and reading articles because I’m not finding what you’re looking for and that’s all good. I don’t want to act like I’m an expert, I’m just a nerd reading things on the internet.

That’s not to say, though, that this fat cell count is the end all be all and it’s impossible to lose weight because you’ve already gained too much — your own situation is proof of that. It’s just added context, not a barrier. Highly satiating foods like what you’ve mentioned, grapes over ice cream, eggs oats and yogurt over donuts, these make a much bigger impact on your overall hunger. I feel it too, I’m overweight and working on losing it, and if i snack on something like chips, it almost feels like it does nothing for me. That’s why all the weight loss advice mentions high protein and High fiber foods.

You’re right the second article probably doesn’t support the hunger bit enough. As i understand it, the hunger signaling is largely an absence of leptin, which is a hormone that regulates appetite. The increase in fat cells from obesity leads to more leptin production and then leptin resistance, so it’s less effective. When you diet and lose the weight the fat cells aren’t producing as much leptin and you’re resistant to what they are producing so you’re comparatively hungrier than you may have been if you stayed at a healthier weight. I believe the leptin sensitivity can recover and be improved through other ways but I’m not an expert.

In adults, fat cell number is constant over time in spite of a large turnover (about 10% of the fat cells per year) when body weight is stable. A decrease in body weight only changes fat cell size (becoming smaller), whereas an increase in body weight causes elevation of both fat cell size and number in adults.

This one’s not as easy for me to quote.

Basically the gist of the whole idea is that your body maintains the level of fat cells pretty steadily as an adult. When you gain or lose weight the cells just grow or shrink, but they can only grow so big before you need new cells to store more energy and your body will build them. Each of the fat cells have a part to play in signaling that you’re in a deficit and need to consume more calories (when we didn’t have such calorie dense foods readily available this was probably correct most of the time). So, if you have 2 or 3 times the number of fat cells then you “should” that’s increasing the signaling you receive to eat, making it harder not to (simplifying that a lot). In normal maintenance, your body still maintains that turnover pretty steadily so it generally doesn’t go away.

Most people, at least with a little practice, can imitate SOMEONE. But voice actors tend to be pretty skilled and make it look easier than it is.

Next time you kill 5 minutes, use it to move. That’s all it takes nowadays.

You can just quietly do stuff.

Like what?

Seems like in real world use it makes a difference.

From another thing I read, people have a tendency to not apply enough sunscreen or apply it correctly. I’m sure if everyone did it perfectly it wouldn’t matter. All I know is anecdotally, when I switched to 100 I stopped getting sunburns, and I have been in situations with people who used their own lower spf, got a little burned still, and I came out of it pale white.

The price might be higher, but a quick look on Amazon and I’m seeing more than spf affecting that. The brand I buy is about 1.80 (usd) per ounce, and i see other brands with less spf for more. I see other brands with the same spf for less, and it seems like it’s between ~1.10 per ounce to ~2.80 per ounce so I’m not really bothered by my price. I don’t know anything about the environmental differences between spf so I won’t comment on that.

Get 100 spf, I’ve never even tanned on that shit.
