Cute! What a cool looking object! I hope you grow some lovely plants!

Edit: lol who downvoted me for this? Why?

Yeah I think by “source” they just mean they’re just giving credit to the bsky post they got the graph from, the data seems to be from a green energy transition thinktank. No idea if you’d put more stock in ember-energy.org/, so make of that what you will 🤷‍♂️

From the website:

Data into action

Open data and intelligent policy analysis to unlock a clean, electrified energy future

Awww, that makes me so happy 🥹

From what I’ve heard (and it agrees with my anecdotal experience):

One of the things that takes the most strain when you skip sleep is your heart. Sleep is one of the times when your heart muscles get to rest a bit more, so it can struggle to pump blood when you don’t rest

Along those lines, drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated can help make your blood consistency a little thinner and easier to pump.

I’d also consider trying to eat foods that aren’t too high in fat, and don’t have too high of a glycemic index. Lots of fat all at once can make you feel heavy and tired, exacerbating tiredness, and foods high in glycemic index that contain more simple sugars and less fiber will spike your blood sugar, resulting in a crash that I would also expect to exacerbate tiredness.

The last thing I’d add is to keep in mind that people are extremely bad at assessing how much their sleep deprivation is affecting them. Studies have shown that people are genuinely dogshit at it, and will consistently think they’re performing about average while producing horrible results in cognitive tests. Remember that even if you feel like you’re doing fine in terms of ability to think, objectively you aren’t and are operating at a significantly diminished capacity, and you just can’t tell.

Tldr, stay hydrated, eat foods without a ton of fat and that are lower glycemic index, and remember that your brain is really dumb when you don’t sleep, even though it often won’t feel like it

Thanks!

Yeah, I’ve had this issue too, it’s absolute dogshit

Was curious what the connection was resulting in the lawsuit

Smith’s lawsuit claims Walls-Kaufman [a Jan 6 rioter] scuffled with her 35-year-old husband [the deceased] and struck him with his own police baton inside the Capitol, causing psychological and physical trauma that led to his suicide. Smith had no history of mental health problems before the Jan. 6 riot, but his mood and behavior changed after suffering a concussion, according to his wife and parents.

Walls-Kaufman, who lived near the Capitol, denies assaulting Smith. He says any injuries that the officer suffered on Jan. 6 occurred later in the day, when another rioter threw a pole that struck Smith around his head.

Brackets added for clarity

Glad to see him go.

Man, that’s depressing, thanks for sharing, that was well worth the read

Ayyy, nice work!

Man I’m glad to hear that, cause the US isn’t exactly a dependable ally right now 😅 (sorry, I wish we were 🥲)

Christ, premium light is still fucking 8 dollars a month and you don’t even get rid of ads. The greed is fucking astounding.

I’ll stick to an adblocker, dickheads.

Man, I hope so. There are so many cool historical events that need movie adaptations

Man, Ukraine has really been on some action movie shit lately, ya love to see it.

Congrats, that’s super cool! My best friend and her wife voted for the first time this past US election after growing up in a religious sect that doesn’t allow it

I’m not really convinced many IDF soldiers are facing significant risk of losing their life, at least in combat- my impression has been that they and Hamas aren’t exactly evenly matched in terms of resources 😅

I could absolutely be wrong, I’m not terribly well informed on the conflict and what combat casualties each side has suffered

This is a wonderful thread :)

I think I’ve found the things that give me genuine joy are a little different now than when I was a kid, but any kind of making things is still deeply joyful for me, I just reach for different sorts of mediums as an adult, right now mostly sewing

And it’s not really “making” in the same sense but I’m really enjoying learning how to take care of plants! ☺️

Massive respect to iraeli soldiers willing to defy their country. For many (certainly not all) criticising the war and senseless loss of life is an easy thing to just throw out on social media. It’s another thing entirely when it’s your whole country around you, and you’re a member of the military. There’s a reason we see people comit atrocities while “just following orders”- it’s by far the easier path when you’re handed down horrific orders.

I cannot imagine the consequences they might face for this kind of insubordination but it deserves recognition. The killing serves no meaningful purpose.

From North Carolina in the US, hello to my neighbors around the world! Hope things are better where you live ❤️ :)

At some point I will but I’m not currently ready to make that transition. My friend and I are using Duolingo together and the social aspect plus the familiarity of the structure have been really helpful

They walked back the ai thing (at least that’s my understanding about it, I think there was a statement about it, not that that means much) but it’s very clear it wont be something that’s likely to work for me long term

But for the time being the structure that it provides and its format has helped me build a routine and actually stay pretty consistent, and I don’t think I’m at a place yet where I can transition away from it

But I have checked out the Foss options and there were some neat supplemental tools on f-droid, and at some point I’ll go through the play store and try out direct alternatives
