The process you’re thinking of is oxygenation, not oxidation. Oxygenation is the binding of oxygen to other molecules, oxidation is the loss of electrons. When the iron in hemoglobin oxidizes (from Fe2+ to Fe3+) it stops binding with oxygen, and if it oxidizes further (to Fe4+) it can start oxidizing other molecules in your body. Your body has enzymes to reduce the iron back to a reactive state, but antioxidants also play a role in reducing oxidized molecules.

To save you some time: Google and Meta are monitoring the conversations using the device’s microphone

This is not happening. It is not something that would be possible to hide, there are so many different places this could (and would) be detected by someone with the right know-how (data/battery consumption in particular).

Try and pay attention to how many ads you get that are completely irrelevant to you. It will happen way more often than ones that match up with your conversations.

Neither 110VAC or 240VAC is inherently more dangerous as long as the system is paired with the right gauge of wire. As for personal safety, both are more than capable of killing you regardless of amperage. 240VAC may even be a little more capable because it can push more current through the resistance of your body.

I’ll admit, American plugs/outlets leave a lot to be desired, but it’s not any more dangerous because of the higher current.

It probably would get her in some hot water, but a first name alone is a gray area. It becomes a definite violation if it’s combined with health information, even as simple “a baby was born here with the name X”. If she just says “I saw a name spelled X” then it may not be a violation of the law, but the hospital would probably still can her for it.

A more complicated but ultimately faster approach is using a structure like an Entity Component System. You build an entity (deer, person, plant) out of components that are just data (health, hunger, mood), and then each type of component has a corresponding system that updates all the components at once based on other values. It’s somewhat similar, but you save space on unnecessary components not being added, and it packs the data together in way that is faster for the computer to iterate through.

I keep thinking it’s same article being reposted before noticing the drop is 10-15% greater than the last time I saw it. I hope he’s kicked from Europe entirely.

I read it perfectly fine, you’re the one judging by unfair standards here. Severe ADHD is not just “hunters in a society of farmers”, it’s a debilitating executive function disorder that affects every aspect of life. You may be privileged enough to not feel it’s a problem, but it 100% is for me and many others. There is something wrong with my brain that needs treatment. Telling another person “you’re not sick” when they emphatically tell you they are struggling is what lacks in empathy or understanding.

I try to give leeway when someone isn’t aware of their privilege, it’s really hard to confront. That is until I try to explain my experience and I just get a complete lack of any attempt at understanding.

I’m glad my comments have helped! It was mostly the responses to your comment that got me fired up and involved, so it means a lot to see that I managed to make a little difference. You’ve also been pretty validating and understanding. It’s very refreshing to have someone who understands to vent with. I wish you all the best!

Totally agree. The “there is nothing wrong with us” in particular (and similar sentiments) gets under my skin so bad. I’m happy for them that they are privileged enough to feel that way, but there is absolutely something wrong with me. Is that a value judgment? No. It’s a statement of fact. Just like my physical disabilities constitute something being wrong. It has no bearing on my self-worth, I just feel more able to cope when I acknowledge that there is a problem with me that others don’t face.

Medication isn’t just a bandaid on outside factors, it can serve as a short term treatment tool to help someone face the issues they are struggling with. I would bet most people on some kind of antidepressant were not on them permanently, just long enough to get stable and see results from therapy and work. That’s the problem with being anti-medication without much nuance, it stigmatizes the tools people use as being unnecessary bandaids or crutches. It just screams “you don’t need meds, just deal with your issues”.

The problem with portraying it like this is there is no room for nuance, it pits medication against society with no room for both. Maybe it wouldn’t read like that if there wasn’t a societal stigma against mental illness and meds, but that’s ironically the world we live in.

You clearly don’t have severe ADHD. It is absolutely a debilitating disability that would ruin my life without medication. The problem here isn’t whether it’s wrong or not, it’s that your radical acceptance lacks any understanding whatsoever. It sweeps our struggles under the rug so you can virtue signal about how poorly society treats us. It’s BOTH a debilitating disorder and stigmatized. There IS something wrong with our brains that needs medical treatment.

Spoken like someone without a single shred of empathy. Try asking and listening more rather than telling other people what their problem is.

Didn’t comprehend a single word they said, huh? Why don’t we just keep vilifying psychiatric medication to make ourselves feel better about the state of the world at the expense of those less fortunate than ourselves. I’m sure it’ll work.

As someone who deals with the same, I 100% agree with you. In my mind, whatever I need to survive is the “right” thing. Them throwing a “but” after the “it’s okay to be on meds” minimizes what we need in favor of what they prefer.

The answer is never “make service better to attract customers”, it’s always “extract as much value as possible from the ones that remain”. Shitty short term number go up mentality.

Also nothing but protein and a smidge of fat. The only carbs you get is the little bit of sugar in the wine, but considering it recommends dry wine that’s not much. I bet you’d have the worst headache of your life by day three.

Because that’s the definition: an essential organic compound that is not a mineral, fatty acid, or amino acid. It’s the “everything else” category for essential nutrients.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who immediately hears that every time the word beaver pops up.

Horseshoe theory is an incorrect oversimplification of extreme politics. If it were true then anarchists would be no different than fascists, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
