TL;DR: As long as you eat the needed amount of fats and proteins, it doesn't matter if the rest of the calories come from fats, proteins or carbs, since they'll get converted to carbs anyway.

Carbs are just (relatively) easy energy. So not eating carbs means your body needs to do more work by converting fats and proteins. That can lead to tiredness and issues with physical performance.

I think its theoretically possible to live without carbs, but it brings no health benefits, because your body then converts proteins and fats to carbs.

The important thing is calories and you can eat a lot with carb-heavy meals. Fat too, since both of those are delicious. (Longer carb chains can be more filling and technically fibers are also carbs I think.)

If you want to loose weight, there are many different strategies, because in the end you have to pick a diet that you are able to follow. (I recommend this playlist by Renaissance periodization.)

The most optimal way (in the spreadsheet sense) would be to calculate how much protein and fat and total calories you need. Then you add the calories from protein and fat and fill the missing ones with carbs. Less carbs has no proven benefit.

There are many online calculators out there, that do this for you.

To loose weight, don't eat less than 500 calories a day less than your maintenance amount. But maybe start with -250 or even -100. It's also a good idea to have "rest" weeks every couple of weeks, where you eat a maintenance amount of calories to relief fatigue and stress.

Cheat meals are a terrible idea. If you loose 3000 calories over 6 days and then go goblin mode on Sundays, you can eat an extra 3000 calories or more no problem, ruining your weeks progress. Instead do the aforementioned rest weeks.

Hope this helps. Its always good to live long and healthy just to make the haters angry :P

As a democracy, its probably a bad idea to have one of your biggest content-distribution-algorithm controlled by an antagonistic Nation.

Kinda sad that Ukraine gave all their nukes to Russia under the "guarantee" of help in case of attack from both Russia and America.

Then they got invaded by Russia and American support is so-so.

Ja, wir haben einen starken Mittelstand. Wir wollen keine Monopole. Das Ziel einer Unternehmensgründung in den USA ist der Verkauf an eins der bestehenden Unternehmen. Ich würde mal gerne eine Karte sehen mit 20-50 Jahre alten Unternehmen und 50-500 Mitarbeitern sehen.

Photo and Video editing is actually pretty good, since the backends (magick/ffmpeg) are open source

It just works very well, because everyone has to deal with men, but almost nobody knows that getting EATEN ALIVE is an option.

At least that's what triggers me; Uninformed confidence.

Be it "Men can do worse", "Inflation is high, because look at the prices (currently)", or "Marshmallows on hot chocolate are great".

Critical flaw in current wizard fashion

 

Most of you probably know the memes about homes not being affordable to younger generations. It is true, that they are, at least, less affordable as illustrated by Figure 4-1. The reasons for that however aren't evil Landlords, who want to leech as much as possible. It is more a combination of several factors:

Years of Bad Politics™️ has led to too few houses being built and now there is a shortage. As any highschooler, after paying attention in economics for 30min, can tell you: low supply + high demand = bad for consumers

Following that, most young people want to live in big cities, preferably the few biggest ones. That puts additional strain on these local markets.

Another big contributor to this problem is that Homeowners want to keep the value of their homes up. Anyone wants their assets to rise in value. But since they are the ones who vote in local elections, they vote to keep houses expensive. That means weird zoning, no new Homes etc.

In defense of renting

Renting apartments or even Houses is a good concept. I pay some entity to keep my housing repaired, up to code etc. As a consequence I don't risk most of my net-worth being deleted by a storm or similar. Renting is more expensive than owning on average, but renters have none of the risk that owning implies.

I personally like fixing and modifying stuff. That includes Computers furniture and Houses. However I also know a lot of people who don't. They don't trust themselves to drill a hole in a wall. For those people shifting the responsibility of fixing smaller things to a landlord can be beneficial.

It also frees people up to move around, when their job/life requires it.

Solutions

Build more houses.

Its that simple. Cities need to rezone and remove houses in favor of multi-family buildings or even skyscrapers. Houses in a city make no sense. You want to be in a city to have a lot of people in a small area. Why would you spread out everyone in suburban wastelands.

If you want a house yourself, go to rural areas. I know you nerds are spending your entire social life on the Internet. It's probably way cheaper to get a fiber connection into the middle of nowhere than paying for city houses. "Mimimi, but there are no queer communities" Then start one. Imagine how powerful all you queer furries will be if you take your tech jobs remote and save like 70% of your housing expenses. Just don't spend the extra cash on more porn.

I know that when I'm done with my degrees I'll be building my lair where no ethics boards will find me. My machines will be efficient and my fungi growing fast.

If I have convinced you to embrace the hermit life, come join me. I am always in need of more minions.

 

Note: This post is satire and not supposed to diagnose anyone.

I recently got diagnosed and I find some of his behaviors kind of relatable. So I decided to watch some of his speeches. Now I learned over the years to act and talk in a more structured way, but if I had thousands of people worshiping me I would also remove that filter. Listening to him I remembered more and more similarities:

All in all a very relatable guy. Now, should you vote for someone I can relate to? Probably not. The only job I qualify for is "mad scientist", which I believe Trump might also qualify for. Now, you might say: "But Mare, he is way to stupid for that." And okay, yea, point taken. I don't want this guy as a colleague anyway.

Some of you may have been wondering what the point of this post is. And to you I say; I don't know, I just want to see what happens if we give this guy Amphetamines. Will he become more effective? Will his supporters realize how dumb he is if he gets his points out more coherently? Will he just immediately die of a heart-attack? And is there a way for me to get more Trumps for a bigger sample size and a control group?

The last question might have an answer: I could run for office as the control group. I don't even need a lot of policies. Just something like: Remove ethics-committees, they are holding back honest Americans trying to further human knowledge.

TL;DR: Plz, plz, plz, plz, give this guy meds. I wanna see what happens. And don't vote for him, I need to run some tests and the Secret Service is really annoying to deal with.

 

So I recently got my diagnosis and a RitalinLA prescription. I started with 10mg and am now on 20mg. The problem is, that I don't feel any difference. I don't take it on weekends, so I have regular references, but everything is still the same. For reference I'm an early twenties male. Did anyone have similar experiences and if so, was it just a dosage issue? Because I feel like there should be some effect at least.
