I thought even nuts and carrots were too much carbs to maintain a ketogenic state, and even broccoli had to be consumed with moderation, or symptoms would resume.

But to be fair my knowledge is from my complete memories of, like, Doctor Mike videos.

A keto diet is far from without consequences. It's a very extreme change, that can only be done safely with a lot of care , as it implies cutting out most fruit and vegetables, for instance.

Afaik it's not medically recommended for anything but a few very specific serious neurological disorders.

I wouldn't go around recommending something like that.

If you want to enter a ketogenic state, intermittent fasting is a much less worrisome way to do it.

So a minimum alcohol limit, then.

Sometimes I call my colleagues Italians 🤌

(None of them are from Italy, but that pasta!)

They really didn't do grass, huh.

I'd say it's probably averaged from bra sizes sold by some company.

I don't really understand the reason for the sand. I thought having sand where you want plants was mostly a bad thing?

Making first past the post worse is a challenge. I'm proud of Americans for raising the bar of terrible voting systems

Ah man. I have a colleague who we call a pigeon behind his back for his funny voice, low intelligence and bad attitude. This is perfect, except in his case the head-licopter collides with a window all the same.

This is so unapologetically the Nazi empire now it's not even funny. They're just screaming the quiet part - all the quiet parts - out loud.

Maybe a quarter of my class held their pencil various "wrong" ways and no one seemed to care beyond "huh, that's original". Same with eating utensils.

I don't think it has much, if anything, to do with autism.

Discovering new communities (self.lemmy_support)
submitted 8 months ago by Eiri to c/[email protected]
 

One thing I liked (and sometimes disliked) about Reddit was that my feed was a mix of posts in communities I'd joined and a few suggestions of posts from subs The Algorithm™ thought I might like.

On Lemmy I'm realizing I'm starting to fall into a bit of an echo chamber situation because I basically only see stuff I'm already a member of, unless I explicitly go to All or scroll the list of communities.

Are there less involved (lazy) ways of discovering new stuff and broadening my horizons a bit?

 

Sometimes, when I'm really cold, it can take over an hour to warm me up, even with a heating blanket. The quickest solution, a hot shower, feels really inefficient with all the heat going down the drain.

That got me thinking about microwaves. They heat food (partly) from the inside, contrary to simple infrared radiation.

Could we safely do that with people?

I found a Reddit thread where a non-lethal weapon and people getting eye damage because they stayed too long in front of a radar dish.

Could some sort of device be made that would warm specific areas (say, a hand or a leg) without endangering sensitive areas like the eyes?

Would it actually warm someone up from the inside? Would it be possible to make it safe?

Would it present advantages in cases of hypothermia, compared to heated IV fluids?

 

I don't see how it's a benefit to capitalism or companies or, well, anyone, really, to allow people to make thousands of trades a day for minute profits on each.

My gut feeling is that the stock market would not suffer, and less resources would be wasted, if trades and updates to stock prices were limited to, say, one batch per hour.

There are probably reasons the system is the way it is though.
