I think sugar is an addictive substance just like coffee, and tobacco/alcohol. Sugar and coffee are easier to shake than tobacco or alcohol. If you manage to stay off of it for a few days, you're back to normal. But it's socially acceptable to have a sweet tooth so most people, like with coffee, just keep "using". Some people don't get addicted to things as easily as others. Perhaps you're just one of them?
Most of my information comes from this doctor, Robert Lustig. Here's the latest podcast he was on if you're interested: https://youtu.be/BhEsYJ6gEHY. At around the hour-mark, he starts talking about the addiction side of sugar. There are talks with him that go way back. Around 17 years IIRC.
He's a bit peculiar I suppose, and seems to be on some sort of a crusade against "big food" and "big sugar", but I really sympathize with the guy.
I've never really thought about this but, could it be because they don't want people to "try this at home"? Either because of safety issues, or my actual hypothesis, because they want to keep their possible pool of candidates as big as possible?
No, they have a patent so they would be in a hurry to publish if the results were good.
From the comments in the article above, it sounds like it may have failed it's primary outcome (autism symptoms). They only say there was significant benefit for "average of all symptoms", but it isn't clear if that is the same thing.
Wait, I don't understand. I thought oatmeal was gluten free, but because of where it's grown and processed, there's a lot of cross contamination with wheat. I buy gluten free oats because of this.
About hitting the print screen button by accident. I have the same issue and like you I can sometimes get out of it by hitting ESC. I think this sometimes fails because the snipping app isn't in focus (even though it's covering the entire screen).
The trick I found to get out of it is to hit ALT+TAB. It ironically puts another app into focus and when that happens, the snipping tool exits. Snipping tool is pretty great though. I wish macOS had the same.
What's snipping tool have over macOS's super-shift-5 (or 4 or 3)? I would usually put Greenshot on any Windows box I'm gonna have to use a while, and that seems to pretty much have feature parity with all my slurp+grim Sway keybinds on GNU/Linux.
It's very minor but, with the Snipping Tool, the screenshot automatically ends up in the clipboard after dragging the box. As far as I know with macos I have to open the preview and copy it from there. There may be an option in macos to get the same behavior but I don't know about it.
Personally I hate when people copy/paste images as it often results in bad filenames like "image.jpg" (as in literally the word image) and then requires me to rename them when saving them when the file probably had a perfectly good default filename. I make sure to save images and reupload them, and I have a one-liner to check my pictures dir for bad filenames in case I saved one without noticing (worst case I run my routine rsync and am repeatedly replacing some image.jpg with a different picture). I also made a short script to put the current unix time on my clipboard in case I need to rename some of these bad files in a pinch. I tend to think less of people contributing to this bad filename problem, although chat programs and such could likely detect and "fix" it on their end also.
My screenshot workflow saves an image with the dimensions and date/time in it to my ~/scrot directory and then I can quickly post it somewhere by just sorting that dir by mtime with newest files on top.
Tipping has been forced into Sweden for around 10-15? years now. I do not like it one bit. No one pays by cash, so they baked the tipping into the payment terminals. They usually come with 4-5 pre-made options with percentages, and _sometimes_ a "no gratuity" option, which will input your original total. IIRC it's always possible to skip it by pressing the (usually) green button to "continue". It'll always input your total and you can skip the entire thing and just blip your card.
Some customers started to input their PIN code (which you sometimes have to do) instead of their total when this was a new thing. It made for some hilarious totals.
One of the most egregious examples I can remember was a restaurant where you order digitally, and when done, you go and get your food/drinks yourself from the serving window. And they asked for tips... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sigh... I do sometimes tip though, never for lunch, but sometimes for dinner.
It's thanks to this site that I learned that Kobo uses a really bad renderer for epubs unless converted to their own ebook format (Kepub). It make a huge difference in appearance and performance on a Kobo device.
And https://send.djazz.se automatically performs the conversion for you with kepubify and sends it to your ereader! No affiliation, just a happy camper chiming in
I assume KOReader has a better renderer for epub but will have to test how it compares to the stock software+kepub. So far I've only used KOReader on my device.
the only issues i've found with koreader is its default margin size and its display of standard ebooks' titlepages but (I believe) these can be fixed with a fairly simple user tweaks css
