> due to recent/past events

Look into cptsd, and mention what you’ve said here to a trauma/informed therapist.

ADHD can be exacerbated by cptsd, so you might have already had ADHD but not as noticeably.

> The rule of thumb is that all carbohydrates harm blood glucose control.

This is untrue. Only simple carbohydrates harm blood glucose control. Complex carbs such as whole grains and fruit aid in it, in part thanks to their fiber. If you have a source that supports your claim, please share it, it must be bleeding edge nutritional science.

Might possibly be easier or more fun to dump the app when it’s loaded into RAM then repackage it and run it on your phone.

Do you have any recipes for somebody in the US who has been meaning to dive into baking good breads? That's one culinary area I've yet to do a deep dive into, but I need to because I love bread and I'm so over what's available here.

Very nice!

So, in Safari on iOS 14, the view demo link brought me to a page that was mostly blank besides the name and picture. I turned on a screen recording to capture the bug, but then was unable to reproduce it (started the recording on this page and followed the link again.) I should have thought to screenshot the page before doing so, oh well! Maybe it was due to a failed XHR request for the profile data, if the pages are being rendered client-side.

It's still under very active development by technomancy and others, with a friendly community and lively IRC channel.

By the reasoning of who you're replying to, the answer to your question would be that it's because we share the same common ancestor with both chimps and gorillas—gorillas also inheriting the improved social skills that humans have, making chimps the odd ones out.

Oh, I was bringing up the price in comparison to the price of plant milks from a consumer's standpoint—while plant milks seemingly have a high markup from raw materials to product (transportation and storage costs aside), our perception of what makes it expensive has an unrealistic anchor in the subsidized cost of cow's milk. Paying $12 for a gallon of cow's milk vs. $5 for a gallon of oat milk changes the picture a bit.

A lot of plant milks are unsweetened, and there is a high and growing demand for these products—yes these companies want to make money, but it's not as if they were manufacturing the demand, they're merely capitalizing upon it.

Better yet is to make one's own oat milk; I agree that they're exorbitantly expensive, albeit (here in the US) the dairy industry is immensely subsidized and so we consumers don't see the true cost of our cow's milk.

I just started using exwm and was wondering about the cause of this, thanks for sharing. There should really be a way to open unmanaged windows into their own individual workspaces.

There's really not much to learn!

Thanks for the addendum. It's prescribed for ADHD off-label more frequently than most people realize, and I've been prescribed strattera, concerta, and adderall before settling on armodafinil.

Meditation is a great addition to the list and I can't believe I glossed over it, it played a huge part in my recovery. I try to live life in a state of flow, if that makes sense—"Be thoughtful" is my mantra when I slip out of it.
