I recently read, and recommend a book titled "Here Comes the Sun" by Bill McKibben. There's a passage where a calculation is made of the amount of minerals that have to be mined in order to build renewable energy to cover all current energy needs. This quantity is huge. However it is equivalent in mass to the amount of fossil fuels that are extracted every year. The major difference is that the equipment for renewable energy will last decades whereas the fossil fuels are burned and need to be dug up constantly, for ever.

I converted my bike, do 36km per day and still have 40% left after that.

My father doesn't eat sweets. He has a very healthy diet - whole grains, vegetables, etc. Never had a cavity nor gum disease. Because of that he never went to the dentist to have a check up. He ended up loosing all his teeth from hardened plaque below the gum line. His teeth just fell off, one after another, because he never learned good dental hygiene.

The kids version is as effective and less sweet. But more expensive. Another benefit is that it doesn't contain titanium dioxide.

You can easily look up some studies, but for me personally it has been the impact on sensitivity. It's basically gone since I've been using it.

For me mint was a trigger of worse reflux, but apparently it helps some people.

I had severe GERD for years. On an off PPI's for almost 5 years, several endoscopies, pain 24h per day. It was so the bad I almost went for surgery. Then I tried the low fodmap diet and it went away. Now I only have to avoid alcohol, onions, garlic and sweet fruits to keep it at bay.

Tui is one. I recently flew with them and had the "surprise" of discovering I was seated on 737 Max. I kept thinking: "Surely they debugged this now!"

I have been working on a game as a side project for 10 years now. Why such a long time? It started when I was freelancing and carried on through full-time jobs, a marriage and now a small child. I am lucky if I can get one hour a day to work on it - but as others mentioned here, the best time to work on it is before your main job, otherwise I am too tired to code after a full day of software development, childcare, and home chores. I really wish I can finish it some day and show it here.

As someone who as been taking these for 3+ years and is utterly scared of these news I would just like to add a few data points regarding my experience that might help others:

- an endoscopy revealed level 1 oseophagitis

- triggers for me include: coffee, tea or any other source of caffeine, fried and high fat foods, alcohol, acidic fruits, high protein foods.

- an experiment with betaine HCL + pepsin was very painful. After that I learned that pepsin is as bad or worse to your oesophagus than stomach acid.

- cider vinegar: same result as betaine HCL + pepsin.

- digestive enzymes: no change.

- pro-biotics, including kefir: no change.

- cutting gluten, dairy and sugar: no change.

- ranitidine: works but effectiveness drops rapidly.

- on-going experiments: liquorice and low-fodmap diet, no conclusions yet.

Any desktop would be able to do so.

I wrote a multi stream mjpeg decoder some years ago and it could run three MJPEG streams at 1920x1080@30 on a 2008 Macbook Pro (Core 2 Duo, 2.5ghz ).

This is very cool! In 1999 my degree final year project was to implement an mpeg decoder in software. My only source of information was the MPEG technical reference manuals. It took me 3 months to be able to decode my first frame. It ran at less than 10fps on an AMD K6, but I learn a lot about video and compression.
