  • You absolutely can get addicted to food, others turn to food for comfort, some eat as a response to trauma as well (ever see my 600lb life, almost every person there has had some sort of trauma or mental health struggle.), therapy and other mental health care never seems to make it into these plans and that, in my opinion, is where they fail.

    Most governments never seem to treat obesity as a chronic illness, just some sort of personal failing.

    Edit.

    Obesity risk factors are also genetic, no one chooses to be obese and the constant shaming and hatred people who exist in fat bodies get is unreal. I know fat people who are terrified of being seen even going for a walk outside because of internalised fat shaming, it fucks with your head something fierce.

    I grew up fat which did not set me up for good habits later in life, I have struggled with binge eating and stress eating all throughout my life, getting an ADHD diagnosis and medicated for it was probably one of the best things that could have happened to me, others in my situation may not have the ability to get that help or be in a place they are ready to even seek it.




  • I like some of the fruity notes you can get with lighter roasts, local place has some they do where the focus is on the jammy, citrus and floral flavours, absolutely not for everyone and I can totally appreciate that.

    I rotate between pour over and aeropress, have a cloth filter for my chemex and that’s what I’ve found I like personally, going for something like 15:1 with a medium grind. For aeropress I’ll go quite fine and invert it, something like a 5:1 ratio.




  • It’s been so long since I’ve kept up on games news unfortunately, this year I feel kinda out of the loop for releases.

    This week I’ve been playing Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, I’m a sucker for Chinese mythology inspired games (developer is in Chengdu and the game takes place in what is now Sichuan province) so the setting is great.

    One thing they did really well was how interconnected the world is, lots of shortcuts and paths that loop back on themselves, also a huge fan of how the skill trees works even down to weapon upgrades being respecable (and apply to the entire class of weapons). Some of the mechanics are interesting, the mp mechanic in particular stands out (bunch of ways to generate, timed dodges are one way but also some others that can be specced into).


  • I recall walking home from highschool with my friend on their bike, older person unintentionally let off their brakes while we were in the cross walk. Super low speed, literally couldn’t have been more than a few km/h but was enough to mangle the bike’s wheel, I got clipped in the leg but I was further from the car so was just a light touch.

    That distrust of drivers carries over to driving (people should be driving defensively), people do stupid shit, sometimes without realising (which is scary in of itself).




  • It did get abandoned early in the series if I recall (been a while) and from what I recall he did tweak the results after Boomer so that more or less only he could tell so maybe it did work, the first “results” before her were totally fudged so who even knows. I had also forgotten that

    Tap for spoiler

    Ellen was tested on screen as well, we just never know what the actual results were. I need to to do a rewatch but I honestly I wouldn’t have been surprised if it did work for the final five and he just kept that to himself.


  • Back in my first year (2008) we had these mandatory online assignments for physics and calc (think it was springer or something). Some of us would group up to work through things which ended up making our study groups. One of my friends at the time used to do all of theirs in excel and upload them (I was in residence at the time and there was a gigantic peer to peer filesharing network on campus) for everyone to use, I know there were a ton of people who didn’t even touch the homework without them.

    It’s definitely not a new thing for sure.


  • Bad times with tear gas or other chemicals, heard stories of people getting them stuck with things like acetone vapours alone on top of it probably making it harder to rinse your eyes.

    Honestly, people should be preparing with full face respirators that they’ve practiced using (and they’re useful to have around anyhow)



  • I half wonder if it’s regional, I reserved mine when that went up and mine showed up a few weeks back, it shipped out of the states though so idk.

    If you have a steamdeck, layout is close but it’s way more comfortable to use the trackpad. Rear buttons are a lot nicer than the ones of the deck. It feels closer to the oled deck stick wise, I have a lcd one which I swear has way farther travel. I haven’t figured out what to do with the grip inputs yet, not super sure how useful they’ll be for me to be honest but cool it’s there.

    Small things and totally software that I appreciated, noticed that the back buttons are one by default with it, maybe that’s across the board now, was a small but appreciated change because I was always having to turn that on. Also like that steam input can ignore trackpad inputs if you’re touching the sticks.





  • It’s not a secret one at all as I based it on some existing seasonings but I’ve got a lot of mileage out of

    • coarse ground black pepper
    • salt
    • cayenne pepper
    • dill weed
    • coarse ground coriander seeds
    • garlic powder

    I don’t have any smoked paprika right now or I’d toss that in too. Just grind the spices for a few seconds in a mortar and pestle. I’m pretty generous with the cayenne, say this ends up roughly 1:1:1:2-3:0.5:1 ratio, sometimes I add some red pepper flake too. The seasoning this is ripping off uses dill seed instead of dill weed but hey, use what you have right?
