Here you go. LHS on normal carbohydrate diet. RHS on a fasted (or LC) diet. Insulin does not budge. In the absence of carbs, protein is not insulinogenic. Protein is not vegan chocolate cake.

Meh.

I've been around enough to get a grasp of the UX and social experience on Usenet, IRC, fully decentralized networks like Freenet, centralized corporate social networks and the fediverse.

While the later has many virtues, I think it has important flaws such as the emphasis on admin control instead of user control, as well as the pressure on admins and devs to act as gatekeepers.

I got here after Twitter started its political censorship rampage, and it's not that better. The censorship points are certainly not fully overlapping, but the promise of federation itself as the solution doesn't seem to work that well.

Start your own server? Sure, but unless you want the server to be an isle, you have to apply a lot of restrictions to who you federate with.

Do house plants purify indoor air? Turns out NASA's famous study from 1989 was flawed. Even at their best, plants deliver less than 1% of toxin removal that an air purifier accomplishes. http://bit.ly/3734UCQ

an observation, at work:

- windows users almost never lock their workstations when they walk away from their desk

- i3 users lock their workstations even if they're still at their workstation and their attention is just occupied elsewhere

If somebody wants to learn the English language about as much as an English Major, without dropping five-or-six figures on a degree one has no hope of seeing a return on, what are some options?

Channels on YouTube I frequent mostly have sponsors from Brilliant and CuriousityStream/Nebula. Are there anyone here who have used either and believe them worth the cost?
