“The Thing” (1982)
I first saw this movie at the age of 13, in a very dark and creepy unfinished basement. It was terrifying.
Even after all these years, this movie still holds up very well to modern standards and stands out as one of the best sci-fi horror movies of all time. I just watched it again in October (my designated horror movie month) and it still never fails to make me uncomfortable and on edge while watching.
My standard breakfast (for years) is: 1 hard boiled egg, a large spoonful of cottage cheese, and some fruit (usually a small banana or a mandarin orange). Assuming you hard boiled the eggs in advance, the prep time is however long it takes you to peel an egg.
I’m not aware of anything proven other than diet & exercise. There are a few trending weight-loss drugs hitting the market right now, but from what I’ve seen they are expensive and come with their own side effects…so for me, it’s just doing it the proven old-fashioned way: diet & exercise.
Visceral fat builds up slowly over time (years) and the changes can be very subtle and unnoticeable until one day you just notice it.
For Kwashiorkor - I really don’t know. It’s just something I’d heard of before, so I found a link to a description and dropped the reference. There are probably lots of other things it could be that I just haven’t heard about.
I, personally, am affected by visceral fat and have been taking steps to lose it and that process is also very slow going, so I currently look like an average guy, but with a pronounced belly. It makes me look like shit in a t-shirt and has caused me to suffer from high blood pressure.
Visceral fat can cause this (especially in men), but it’s usually a side-effect of being overweight and it sounds like you describe yourself as looking ‘malnourished’. https://www.webmd.com/diet/what-is-visceral-fat
There is at least one type of malnutrition, “Kwashiorkor”, caused by protein deficiency that can cause something like this also. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23099-kwashiorkor
But, disclaimer, I am not a doctor, so best advice is to get checked out by your healthcare provider.
It’s critical to point out the primary scenario associated with the survey and chart data in that article.
“Given the scenario of irreversable brain injury”.
That changes everything.
I’ve always heard that Alberta is the ‘Texas of Canada’ (presumably for the oil & being politically conservative). But since Canada only has 10 provinces, I guess that would mean each province needs to represent 5 different US states.
If Alabama and Texas are two of them, what are the other 3 for Alberta?
Corporations should be held responsible for the emissions caused by their employee’s commuting.
This would really change the discussion about return to office.
Well, granted my sample size is extremely small, but I’ve only ever known 2 polyamorous groups of people well enough to visit their home. And in both cases, there was always 1 person who wasn’t as happy as the other two and was tolerating the scenario due to pressure from the person they considered their ‘significant other’.
The dynamic was: A & B would be considered spouses to each other, A wants to bring in additional person C and create a trio under the banner of “polyamory” and B consents (because they are willing to accommodate anything A wants to make A happy). So person C enters the relationship and they form a polyamorous-trio, but instead of it being a true trio, it’s more like A & B still have their relationship (now burdened) and A & C have a relationship, but B & C don’t engage much. This is the exact scenario I have witnessed in the only 2 households I’ve ever known doing it.
That’s given me the impression that arrangements like that usually serve the needs of one or two people but often leave at least one party secretly unhappy. Maybe if more people actually witnessed polyamory working as it’s been proclaimed, there would be higher opinions of arrangements like that. But I sure haven’t seen it - my current conclusion is that it’s just not within the bounds of human nature for this kind of relationship to work.
There is a centuries-old simple salad recipe involving just cucumbers, onions, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper.
Anyone saying you can’t have a salad out of cucumber, onions, and dressing…is wrong.
That’s what I did, but the community is too niche to have any activity on Lemmy. A LOT of niche community users are in the same scenario.
Probably over diagnosed by people self-diagnosing. Probably significantly under diagnosed officially/clinically.
And the above is true for a LOT of conditions, not just ADHD.
This whole visibility thing is a serious problem
Yes. I have been preaching that since I first started using lemmy in June. Every time I bring it up my comment is downvoted to oblivion. The way it currently works is borderline abusive to new users of lemmy.
Are you considered a dependent minor in whatever country you are in, and living in your parent’s house?
If so, then I don’t think you have a legal reasonable expectation of privacy.
You might get away with a physical barricade (like a door jam, or one of those anti-break-in bars - if your door opens inward), but your mom could escalate and just have the entire door removed if she wanted to and felt it was important enough.
I hope you don’t expect lemmy users to be more tolerant of such an obviously clickbait title and community rule breaking.
I don’t normally peel my potatoes, but when I do, I use the peeler like I’m whittling a piece of wood.
But peeling oranges…I do the same thing you try to do with potatoes: I try to get the peel off in one single long spiraling piece.
This is the answer. High fructose corn syrup is over-used because it’s dirt cheap to produce, and it’s only dirt cheap to produce because corn is subsidized.
As much as I love my bourbon whiskey, I’ll accept the fact that prices will go up if corn stops being subsidized, but that’s what’s desperately needed in this country.
While there is merit to your post, I will point out the obvious: your post is hosted on an instance named “lemmy world” and you are citing US enforcement codes and sections, but lemmy.world (the servers) do not reside inside the United States. Lemmy.world (the server) would be subject to the laws of the country in which it is hosted, the admin team would be subjected to the laws in the countries in which they reside, the community moderators would be subject to the laws in the countries they reside, and the lemmy.world users would be subject to the laws frrom where ever they reside.
So, you can’t simply link to a writeup about some US regulations and assume it’s going to be exactly the same everywhere and for everyone.
They are opposed to even the most basic form of civility. Yeah, we already knew that, this just makes it clear to the doubters.
Are you just talking about dynamic DNS services for one or a few home servers?
There’s always DynDNS, but that’s a paid service. I actually discovered that dynamic IP address service was provided free by Google when using Google Domains as the registrar, so I moved a few of my private domains over to Google several years ago to save myself $55 a year.
Unfortunately, Google Domains is shutting down and all registrar services and existing customer domains are getting moved to squarespace and I’ve not yet been able to determine if squarespace is going to be offering the free dynamic DNS service or not.
