It would previous help me to regulate my appetite, helping with my comorbid binge eating disorder. I could get dopamine from smoking weed that I’d otherwise get from food. Of course, I’d usually get it from both, but having a good time stoned was definitely a fun thing for me that’d reduce my general cravings for other stimulation. But the meds are more effective (and specifically kill appetite as a side effect)
Weed. Had to quit for an extended family holiday. I’ve had t-breaks like that a dozen times or so over the past 20 years, but was otherwise smoking daily. When I got home last September, I smoked a couple of bowls I had left behind and then just… stopped.
I don’t really have much to say about it. I don’t feel significantly clearer-headed or motivated. No profound physiological impact. Same as when I took breaks from it, had super weird and vivid dreams for a short while after stopping.
I’ll partake when I’m offered a doobie at a party, but I probably won’t go back to my old habits.
I think the reason I stopped is because I started taking (non-stimulant) ADHD meds a couple years back and the increase in dopamine made me just not feel like it anymore.
Qualifying your analogy with (mostly) kinda makes it fall apart for me. Because the fediverse also works like how you described email (mostly). There might be a few extra exceptions due to relative immaturity of the protocol is all.
I think that’s true for small containers, such as a can. Whereas 1.5L is an impractical amount to drink of anything, more likely to lead to drinking until satiation rather than until the container is finished. Especially where the starting point of the habit involves opening a fresh container with a certain aesthetic, and finishing it. That itself can be psychologically addicting. It was for me.
Neither aluminium nor plastic are infinitely recyclable. I read somewhere that factoring in the energy and materials required in the initial production of the container, plastic is about 13x more wasteful. So while of course it depends on serving size (which would logically be different transitioning from small cans to large bottles), as well as recycling programs in your area and their respective efficiencies, you’re most likely correct that the carbon footprint of large bottle would be higher overall.
What I really meant to get at was ‘waste’ in terms of the amount of empty containers that tend to pile up around you. For myself being addicted to drinking cans of fizzy, I would stack them around me and it would become a much larger job to clean them up than it is for large bottles.
I’ll also say that while being addicted to cans, I lamented their relatively higher cost and was more compelled to go for small bottle form factor on occasions where they were available cheaper than cans, rather than large bottles. Small bottles of course being by far the most wasteful.
Switch to a caffeine-free version some of the time, then all of the time. For Pepsi Max this is only available in the 1.5L bottles where I am, so add in an extra step switching from cans to bottles (which should also reduce cost/waste).
Buy a nice reusable water bottle and ensure you have a clean, not-bad-tasting source of fresh water to fill it with (where I am this means bottled or filtered). Keep it filled and close to you at all times. Only use water in it.
Once you’re comfortable with these adjustments, taper off the fizzy drink. If you’re still having significant trouble or cravings, or substitute for something worse: just keep drinking the fizzies. It’s one of the least harmful bad habits you could have, and depending on your circumstances might be a best case scenario

My purple roasties come out purple as. Could maybe adapt to a mash without boiling but would need to run them through a ricer or something
Thinking more about it, rather than getting something like a suorin edge, you’d be better off just getting a backup pod system of whatever type you already have/enjoy.
Pod devices are essentially just a battery in a hard case as it is. To go a more hot-swappable method than they already are would involve compromises you might not have considered.
Suorin have some user-replacable battery models
Also refers to a time management method, although only as a marketing vehicle to sell tomato-shaped timers
I’ve been prompted to manually drag the app into the Applications folder during install flow multiple times. It wasn’t a substitute for an installation wizard, it was a part of it. I’m familiar with archives as well as .debs, .rpms and tarballs, and none of these or Windows equivalents required such interaction. Yeah, it’s due to my unfamiliarity. In my state of being relatively unfamiliar with Mac OS, it seems pretty fucking weird.
Installing a downloaded app by dragging the .dmg into your Applications folder.
Just why? What is the case where I download an app installer, execute the installer, but don’t want the app installed?
Not natively, but there are mixers like tornado cash on ethereum which some consider are more private in concept. Ethereum is more decentralised than Monero if that’s what you mean by security (i.e security separate from privacy)
I’ll remember because by the time I put it in there I’m close to dying of thirst, but still won’t drink something at room temp. So forgetting and then remembering my crippling dehydration is generally a pretty good egg timer for it
Maybe in the context of an ideologically opposed global hegemony, you’re right. Maybe we should do something about that.
The particular lineage of the derivation of the standard isn’t important so much as that it is arbitrary in the same way as imperial units. Not derived from physical constants, unlike SI (or older metric systems)
Is it just me or has the main character really done nothing all season except several failed attempts at a supply run? My brain keeps tuning out
Tell it to shut the fuck up (it works, that’s why my grandfather likes it)
Yes, Aussies can’t use Kraken to buy or withdraw XMR for the last few years
I was there longer term, but I did lots of day/weekend trips around the place. Being from WA, it’s a lot less travel to reach interesting/touristy places than I’m used to so that was great. Weather permitting, hiking the Tongariro crossing was my favourite short trip (it took us a couple of attempts as it was -10C at the red crater the first time we went so we just did the first part). That also gives you a LOTR experience (they filmed Mordor scenes there) while only paying for parking, and without falling into the tourist trap that is Hobbiton.
On my favourite trip, I chucked a mattress in the back of my car and my mountain bike on top of that and went on a solo camp/bike trip around the north island for a bit over a week. I did most of the Waikato river trails which were excellent. The trails near New Plymouth were another highlight.
It’s hard to go wrong really, did more touristy stuff in South island but I’m a sook with cold weather
