medical, neutral-ish, caffeine (2)
(It drops it by approximately 10/5, to be more specific)
medical, neutral-ish, caffeine
You might know that the right amount of caffeine helps as a focus aid when you have ADHD...
But what if I told you that that amount of caffeine, for me, also consistently drops my blood pressure into a healthy range, when it would otherwise be too high due to my kidney disease?
request for information, abuse allegations
Does anyone know more about the history of Chris Boden, AKA Physicsduck on Youtube, formerly involved with the Geek Group?
There are various stories floating around on Reddit about them, enough to raise serious questions, but at the same time it's all mired in ableist commentary and it feels like the story is more complex than it seems on the surface.

gun mention
@paintedsky@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm reminded of that interview someone did with... I think a writer from maybe the Sopranos? And the interviewer asked if the writer was interested in an LLM, and he was like "fuck no", and then the interviewer pressed a little more and was like, "if you were stuck on how to end a scene, you wouldn't consider asking ChatGPT for ten ways to end this scene?" and the writer responded "I would rather put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger"
and I think about that, a lot, and how basically while obviously he was exaggerating, I do think that level of vitriol is appropriate. We're burning down forests for fucking nothing. Complete trash.
@tauon I recall Chrome developers trying to go all-in on CSS transforms in the engine because SVG was "too complicated to fully implement" (which they did eventually relent on) so I imagine that that's probably the answer

every time I see someone online mention a new movie they like my first thought is no longer "aww cool someone liked a movie, maybe I should go see it" it's instead "wicked, looks like WB paid for some bots to shill their new movie in the comments, luckily *I'm not falling for it!*"
It's bleak out there folks.

Why is gender even listed on ID documents anyway? The only way to check that is to grossly violate someone's right to privacy and bodily autonomy.
It's as utterly pointless to list as someone's outfit.

"Would you prefer if sites were funded by ads instead of paywalls?"
No Mr. Bond, I'd prefer those sites to die.
@phanjam Wait, isn't this the game development studio that tried to do client-side validation in an MMO, of all things?
Because I think that even for a large games company, that pretty clearly shows an exceptionally incompetent management 🙃

Have you ever wondered how to drink tea in style whilst cruising through the Eurotunnel?
Well, I have answered that question for myself.

I do like systems that randomly have to come up with underground station designs, only to be used once. In Bergen, this would be Haukeland sjukehus station, which is the only underground station other than the airport station, which is more in a cutting than anything.
Quite a striking design and deeep deeeep underneath the surface (it’s underneath a hill) and connects the university hospital and other health centres with the rest of the city.

@nando161@theblower.au Not shown in the comic: the part where less than a mile out to sea, their crappy raft gets overwhelmed by a wave and they drown and/or starve, when they could have been waiting for a sufficiently well-equipped ship on a safe island with a food source
