This. I looked at a bunch of options and these are the best for OpenWrt and are very reasonably priced. Mine did torrenting, VPN, and a few other small services before I got my proper served up and running and now it is less loaded and more relaxed without that workload. Absolutely awesome, very high quality for low price, and it comes with a very slightly modified OpenWrt firmware which is unlocked by default.

You would meet the definition for bulimia most likely but also maybe other things like anxiety along with it.
Making yourself vomit is not effective at losing body fat. It is a bad technique with bad side effects and it is not sustainable. Even apart from the harm to your teeth, voice, nasal passages, throat, and so on, it is more likely to cause loss of muscle than loss of fat. This will make you weak and actually increase your body fat percentage.
Managing body fat is actually not that hard but does not match up with managing health. Fat is there for a reason. Dropping your fat too quickly or because of extreme deprivation is harmful and also makes your body look sick. Depending on what is important to you different methods of managing your body will be a better fit, but really nothing can help you lose body fat quickly without cost.
You need to question why you want to lose weight. Is it to be more attractive? To be healthier? To be happier? To get people to stop harassing you about your weight? To be less disgusted with yourself? There are lots of different reasons someone may end up bulimic but you need to find out what applies to you and the internet is full to bursting with bad advice and toxic communities which will not help you. Some communities actually make eating disorders far worse and drive people to death through either consequences of their eating or suicide.
To be clear, having an eating disorder is dangerous to the point of deadly if not managed. Just like cancer it can and will kill you if managed poorly, so you need an expert on your side. Depending on which country you are in your resources will be very different, but psychological help is highly recommended. It may be some talk therapy and some CBT with nothing ongoing. It may be much more. Either way starting earlier is best, so treat it with urgency and get help asap. If left to continue it will get harder to fix and more expensive in time, health, effort, and money than it is right now. This is the literal best time to do something about it and no later time will ever be as easy as now is.
Another option is to download then open with VLC and use the loop function to select what needs to repeat.
On the game front I have to recommend Creeper World 3. I have over 50 days, yes days, of playing. It was absolutely worth the trivial cost and quite enjoyable.
Kind of yes, kind of no.
Short term there is not a huge difference between getting sugar from complex carbs or simple carbs and most vitamins and micro nutrients will be OK with a few weeks of worse absorption and slowly lowering levels.
Medium term this would be bad, but so is the standard western diet. Carbs are not a great source for energy for a number of reasons but one of the key ones can be seen with vitamin C. Why do we not have functional pathways for making vitamin C? Our closest relatives do, the other great apes, and almost all other mammals do too. In fact as far as I am aware one of the only other mammals missing the ability to make vitamin C is the guinea pig which is especially ironic considering it was the aminal selected to understand scurvy, an extreme form of vitamin C deficiency.
We don't need anywhere near the same level of vitamin C if we are not eating sugars, complex or simple. Eating a very very low carb diet, deep into the ketogenic end, reduces the need for vitamin C. Taking someone who has symptoms of scurvy and switching them to a carnivore diet seems to reverse the symptoms fairly promptly and plenty of people eat just meat for decades at a time without developing scurvy, so it seems safe enough.
So if you look at a diet made of highly processed high carb foods like the current standard American diet you would see a measurable but not extreme change in the short to medium term, but in the medium to long term it would get worse. If you compare to a more reasonable diet which doesn't have huge amounts of processed foods or carbs in it then it would be a bigger difference.
I have a Ticwatch S2 (tunny) which was not officially supported but I managed to get it running and it was cool but not well integrated. The maps didn't work, most apps were only a little functional, and syncing with a phone was not stable.
Those all sound like bad things and for a finished product they would be, but solving problems is fun if you have the right mindset. I love the idea of using a real qt based interface rather than running modified android or similar. It was very fun to play around with but ended up being less than perfectly suited for me. I want them to succeed though, so I hope they make more progress and get some better results.
If the transformation is because of the light from the moon there are a few changes we could expect. First, the cycle would still be matched to the lunar cycle of about 28 days just like on earth as that cycle is driven by the relative positions of the moon, sun, and earth. If the moon is further away from the sun than earth it is lit up more, most at opposition to the earth. In contrast the brightness would go down as it enters alignment between the sun and earth, peaking with a new moon.
Second, the near lack of atmosphere would likely increase the number of days which would be sufficient to trigger the transformation. Maybe it would be 5 nights instead of 3 nights, or maybe the transformation would be more intense leading to more extreme features or even new traits.
As for another planet and moon system, earth is unique here. No other moon is as close in size to the planet it orbits with the exclusion of dwarf planets Pluto and Charon. The bulk of moons are way smaller and also orbit around planets way further away from the sun and so would be far less bright. Perhaps not enough light would be reflected for there to be any transformation, while a confluence of moons may work together to have a higher impact on occasion.
In a more science fiction setting I would imagine having reflected light cause the transformation could make things like a ring world, a spinning ring with a central reflector, interesting. The starlight reflecting off the mirrors would theoretically make the whole ring be constantly lit for wearwolves and make night, changing the mirrors to reflect no light, the only time without wearwolves.
Spirited Away or Run Lola Run
Spirited Away is so good in Japanese and does lose something being dubbed. Run Lola Run is so good in German, I don't know if there is a dub because there is no reason to seek it, the dialogue was perfect for subtitling and the story is based on slightly different loops in time so you pick up what is happening each loop through. Very cool.
Who would have thought that a fungus would be resistant to antibiotics? Almost like they are the absolute wrong tool for the job. It turns out antivirals don't kill weeds either, what a shame.
This annoys me. Many articles about ADHD refer only to children with ADHD, not adults. I'm nearly fourty and I still have ADHD now, if I make it to 80 I will still have ADHD, why is it always about kids? It is lifelong not just a childhood thing.
Yeah, lots of people from my background are sensitive about it but honestly, nobody around me understood money and therefore couldn't have taught me. I knew very little about money until later in my adulthood and at that point I didn't have more than I needed. Now I have a little bit of excess and managing that has been a great learning experience.
Yeah, I have dyspraxia which is basically medically diagnosed lack of coordination. I drop my phone at least a few times a day, I bang into walls and benches all the time, and I've fallen over so many times I don't even get hurt any more. Along with the coordination I have lost or broken so many things in just this way, not to mention I am massive and most things are not built for giants. So yeah, a good number of items have been broken or outright destroyed shortly after purchase. No budget can handle that other than to just have more money on hand and to be as careful as possible. Screen protectors, rugged cases, and no open top drink vessels.
I come from a poor background, so having any large pot of cash was always risky due to "emergencies" requiring those funds. I got out of that living situation and now finally have more money than my living expenses for the first time. None of my family were actually good with money, so that is the background for this post. So yes, correct.
Absolutely. I had some TWS headphones that were really good and I actually ended up replacing the battery in the case when it couldn't hold a day of charge because it was worth it. I would much rather repair something than replace it and buy quality that will last as well, both of which are benefited by having the cash on hand. If you can't afford $200 headphones but you can get $20 ones today maybe buy the $20 ones and use them while saving for the better ones. It will take time but you may be able to make the crappy ones last long enough, even if you have to get two sets to make it through.
For some items yes, but, and perhaps this is privilege from living in Australia, surely if it fails immediately you can return it and get a replacement or refund? Here we have a 12 month warranty on most things but also a reasonae expectation standard, so if it is a larger thing like a fridge or dishwasher we can get more of a reasonable warranty period.
So I guess a better way of phrasing it would include at what point it requires more money from you if it fails? So for a basic electronic thing 12 months would be the minimum that would be covered by the manufacturer and you are only on the hook for it after that time? I know that is not suitable for some other places like the USA where you are often on your own once you leave the store.
Yes, and items seem to be manufactured to exceed their warranty period by only a short time. I assume that an item will last for a year in most cases, or the warranty period if that is longer. For white goods like a fridge or a washing machine I look for statistics and use longevity as part of my purchasing process, so I aim to buy appliances which will last a fairly long time and then save based on that not being the most likely outcome. My fridge can be expected to last 5-7 years, so by year 3 I will have enough saved or room made in lines of credit to afford a replacement. Obviously it is best to have nothing accruing interest so I will tend to pay credit down first but some if the credit cards where I am actually have good terms such as a 36 month interest free period. The utility of money during that time is available for other things and I can reduce my costs in other ways.
You Should Know @lemmy.world YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases
For just a little over £50, £57 on Amazon, you could get these.

I have a pair and they are absolutely fantastic. The reduction in noise means I can hear my podcasts, audio books, or music without having the volume up high. I find them to be light enough for long sessions and not too tight, but they also don't fall off the moment you look to the side. I use them for mowing the lawn and other heavy work but also around the house or while playing video games.
The battery lasts multiple days worth of usage, claiming and realistically reaching around 40 hours of use. I haven't yet actually run them dry because I charge them at night but I will frequently have them on from shortly after waking up til bed time with only an hour or two of them being off, so around 14-16 hours, and they are still comfortable after that.
The sound quality is perfectly good. I have some audiophile grade IEMs which do generate better sound quality but for normal headphones these do a great job. I bought them here in Australia and they were around $100 and honestly, worth every cent. Before these I had Tactix which were great but they eventually, after about 4 years, had a loose cable on the left ear and would crackle in and out of function. If I can get anything like the same out of these I will consider them a very good yearly cost, around $25 per year for my main headphones. I would budget for ~$75/year if I were thinking about what is reasonable, so a third of that for one pair of ear protecting headphones is pretty great.
This. I've helped a few people over the years and I've been helped too and with experience on both sides nothing is as impactful as the recognition of how much the help has improved life. A card which says something about the difficulties and how the help felt to receive can be a massive positive, more than any potted plant or simple gift. It lasts forever and is something they can come back to time and again.
I like when they have both, like the roller thing you can click to input a number, best of both worlds.

Sort of correct, but modern drug tests can distinguish actual ADHD meds from methamphetamine reliably. When I got tested I let them know my dose and what medication and they didn't have to adjust anything at all.
