I replaced doomscrolling, a passive and empire-led activity, with active playing chess. I play correspondence games so a minute or two of engagement, per active match, fits me just right any fit time of the day.

I don't at the slightest feel bad about it.

Interesting concept, but also a great way to obtain zero browsing history on the topics you research.


Heard that! I made this proof of concept in just a few hours last night, so there's still quite a bit of work to be done. I've already created an issue to add browsing history https://github.com/steezeburger/wikipedia-browser/issues/1


> a little scripting language built-in to the OS

MacOS has something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript#Basic_concepts You can send around events and macro/script GUI stuff.


Not bad. I'd like a little more, but that's the idea.



Just curious, has any of you tried, or would you consider trying, fasting for a few days every month?

I think the problem is that if you can't fix whatever is causing your body to attack your own pancreas first, it doesn't really matter if you're able to slowly regenerate the insulin-producing cells - you can't make any headway.


The article hypes increased beta cell generation but as far as I skipped doesn't address the characteristic T1 immune response attacking them. Seems incomplete to me.


If the immune response is stalled/reversed during the fast, the causal agent seems pretty clear (and corroborated by studies innumerable): it's the food you eat.


I didn't see anything about immune response. The omission is a rather common occurrence with crank T1 "advice". Which is why I stopped reading.


Fasting is great! After 48 hours, you can feel how "inflammation" goes away.

The problem is that it is difficult to make money out of it, so it doesn't get the attention it deserves.


One lawsuit away.


$/mo is widely used.


Given there is a sign for dollars, couldn't there be a sign for concepts as frequently occurring as months (etc)?


mo?


In that case, what's wrong with https://sources.debian.org (other than people apparently not being aware of it)?


sources.debian.org has the source for the package. apt-browse.org has the files that are installed by the package.

Compare:

https://sources.debian.org/src/htop/2.0.2-1/

> Or is the DNA roulette wheel already spinning, like it is for people who have been heavy smokers in the past?

Heavy smokers ingest trace amounts of radioactive metals that continue to emit radiation for years to come. The mechanism is certainly not the same with alcohol.


So why, then, is Japan having cases/deaths at their all time highs?


Because Japan (and Australia, and New Zealand) were also good at keeping a lid on infection spread, just like China? And now, with the new Omicron variants, they aren't?
