The relief of not needing to mask anymore hits hard

Ooo a new Neal book, how was it?!

I’m guessing it’s the lube slightly leaking out. I mean I wouldn’t eat it. It’s probably not going to short circuit anything and damage the board. It would be a foolish choice to fill keys with conductive lubricant.

I wanted to say the same thing, use it or lose it.

Pain sometimes comes from injury or other mechanism, but loads of people with back pain just need to exercise more.

A strong back will do wonders.

Likewise a strong wrist will resist keyboard pain. It won’t tolerate bad typing posture or a crappy keyboard, but it will resist pain with a good ergo keyboard and good posture

Thanks for getting me to laugh this early

Hey now there’s nothing weird about being completely unable to focus under fluorescent lights.

You know what, everyone’s saying is cringe to bring up being a maintainer. But I say be proud of it!

You volunteer on this project for free, to build us this awesome place to be. Thanks for doing that, keep it up, be the best contributor you can! I’m happy to have Lemmy, thanks for helping make it possible!

Oh man this good me laughing way too hard, well done

CrossFit, running club, November project, hiking club, board game clubs, DND clubs, Meetup.com events. Coed sports leagues like: disc golf, infinite Frisbee, soccer.

There’s also things like live figure drawing, music jam clubs, acting in local plays.

Absolutely meirl. I keep making frame rate drops on games, but my CPU is … Checks date… top of the line 2012 tech!

Ok but what crow time comic,

Edit, Crow Time is amazing

Seems like it increases cancer risk, but it’s the cheapest way we have to sanitize water so

I’m putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.

Bidet attachment for a toilet. You can get them cheap, or spend a bit more for heated seats, warmed water, fans for drying, etc. Best bathroom decision ever.

Countertop electric water distiller. For a reasonable price you can get a countertop water distiller that runs a gallon for like $0.15. No more microplastics, chlorine, ammonia, lead, or facial matter in your drinking water! Tastes SO GOOD, nothing like the plastic filled distilled water from the store, blech. Every time we make a batch, we’ll smell the sticky residue left in the heating chamber and gag. It is nasty stuff. In our tap water, gross. Clean water for me please! Makes our coffee, tea, and kumbucha taste a lot better too.

Getting into a healthy BMI and daily exercise is pretty epic too. You’ll just feel better every day.

As climate change gets worse, having resilience like stored food and water will be helpful to deal with more frequent natural disasters. No sense bothering with fancy meal packets, a couple dozen big cans of dried beans will go a long way if there’s a shelter in place order.

From 2013 to 2017 I lost 60 pounds and I’ve kept it off since.

I tried everything to lose that fat.

I’ve tried at different times: keto, calorie counting, intermittent fasting, low fat, low carb, Soylent, cutting alcohol, high fiber, if it fits your macros, power lifting, CrossFit, running, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, and Renaissance periodization.

What’s actually worked consistently for losing and keeping it off? Simple. Intermittent fasting 20/4 with low carb during the week, free cheat weekends, and no alcohol ever. With that protocol I can control my weight to the pound, consistently, and I’ve held it there for over 5 years.

It’s such a great feeling to be totally in control of it.

Fantastic meme, I’m dying over here

Well this week starts Inkttober sooo

Amazon ads for “gamer” stuff that is otherwise very femme coded happens when Amazon thinks you are trans and serves you ads about it (presumably before the recipient knows)
