After a week of tracking without too much focus of purposely eating unique plants, I came up to 44.

It could be that my diet already plays an important role to almost guarantee that I achieve at least 30 plants per week, since I follow a whole food plant based diet.

From the 44 plants eaten, more than 50% were in their whole form. 25% were from beverages, mainly herbal teas. And the other 25% were from processed foods.

Will need to look into the existing documentation to find data that can back up the initial claim of "eating at least 30 unique plants per week" promotes gut health.

Almost might need to track the size of the servings and the amount of added sugar, since sugar can make your gut health worse off.

Browser Video Hack:

Have you ever wanted to change the play rate of video beyond the given settings. Well with

```
document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0].playbackRate = <number>
```

you can change it to any `<number>` speed of your choosing.

Just paste the command in your browsers console and you should be good to go. (Change `<number>` to an actual number.)

It seems like eating a diet rich in polyphenols promotes good gut health and therefore complete health. There is some consensus that eating at least 30 unique plants per week will achieve this condition. It is important to note that the plants should be the least amount of processed until considered palatable to get the most per serving, so e.g. cooked potatoes over chips.

30 plants might seem a lot per week, though it averages to a bit more than 4 plants per day. It seems the issue of getting variety will exist in poorer nations and/or restrictive diets.

Thus to test this hypothesis will be tracking such plants plus the additional information of processed level (none, some, high) and if from a beverage (beer, tea, coffee, wine, juice).

Any one else who wants to participate, just let me know, so that we can anonymize the data.

It feels weird to use a whole weekend to program a reverse engineered dashboard creator (https://codeberg.org/barefootstache/Simple-Dashboard-Maker) that can manually be done in less than a hour per dashboard.

Initial features:

- one can create a dashboard using the demo
- one can create as many local ones as one wishes
- all dashboards are saved locally in the browser
- there is a template for a quick open street map dashboard
- responsive on mobile

I have made at least 5 dashboards manually before deciding to reverse engineer the process. Quite proud that the OSM template works as expected and was able to remove a set of home screen saved websites on mobile to use the template instead.

As a tea fan, I try to learn new brewing methods, that is when I stumbled upon the moka pot.

From what I read prior to purchase is that the taste of tea would be more intense than what one is used to.

Off to test that hypothesis and can conclude that is (subjectively) false.

Though I should remark that I don't follow brewing times. Means the tea ball stays in the cup until it is time to drink or annoys me too much while drinking. So brewing times at least are 10min and sometimes even hours.

The only thing that the hypothesis did share is a quick way to make a cup of tea. Will need to experiment with small brewing tweaks to play around with the intensify like cooling the lower pot to make it stronger or pulverizing the plant matter.

Can friendship exist independently of the circumstances of one's life?

If false, then it can be argued that potentially friendship is deterministic.

Further it would be to reason that having friends is part of life. Though can a friendless life exist and how would it look?

Wondering if unilateral friendships is a coping mechanism of the brain trying to keep you sane.

Does anyone have experience in encrypting #git partially?

Was thinking of going with #blackbox.

Looking for mascot ideas for data privacy

if you had an unique experience daily, will the brain ever run out of memory?

Just had the experience with auto scanning boarding passes to board the plane that one passenger forgot to turn off auto-rotate on their phone. So every time they tried to scan the barcode the phone flipped it to the other side.

#ProLifeHack: turn off auto-rotate if you plan to board a plane with an automated terminal.

A subjective long life is defined by the amount of unique experiences.

Just picked a round of Aronia berries before the rain.

I love it when lack of communication is the cause for a ticket being stagnant for months. And the best part is that the code review didn't catch it.

Considering the game "two truths and a lie". Is responding with three truths an acceptable answer? Since if ever questioned what the lie is, you can respond with the prompt.

Would you welcome it if the moderator of a conference was anonymized by wearing a mascot?

Boosts are much appreciated!

Question: do #makeup free individuals exist or do they only exist if you disable at least one of our senses?

To add more context to this question it should be looked at an abstract point of view.

One can argue that any modification to the individual is a form of makeup.

If we took for example a freshly washed person. This person is only for a fragment of time makeup free or are they? Couldn't the act of washing be considered also a form of makeup?

Now let's say you took a photo of an individual, then you could easily say if they used makeup or not. Though at the same time you blocked out at least one sense: smell.

Looking into the thought of why girls should act and behave a certain way. It seems like it is an ideal that was sold in the 1950s by men. So it doesn't really say anything about their true nature.

Now the question is why do men want girls to act in that manner. The hypothesis would be that it has some kind biological roots. That men need to feel like they are the protectors of weak and innocent.

Assuming a fraction of this is true, then I can understand the #feminism movement to ridicule the #propaganda apposed onto womenkind to suppress their nature.
