I think that is your son’s decision and it should be respected, even if you disagree with it.

Should it ever become public, your family should also understand that you were respecting your son’s decisions.

Oh no! They have a paid listing option now. Enshittification knows no bounds… 😢

Dad? Is that you?

This hurts so much.

300 Grams of Oatmeal Per Day

During the intensive phase, participants ate boiled oatmeal three times daily and could only add small amounts of fruit or vegetables. In total, 32 women and men completed the two day oat based intervention. Each person consumed 300 grams of oatmeal per day and cut their usual calorie intake roughly in half. The control group also reduced calories but did not consume oats.

And…

Short Intensive Plan Outperformed Longer Moderate Intake

The cholesterol lowering effects were still visible six weeks after the two day intervention. “A short-term oat-based diet at regular intervals could be a well-tolerated way to keep the cholesterol level within the normal range and prevent diabetes,” says Junior Professor Simon.

However, the benefits were strongest when oats were consumed in high amounts alongside calorie restriction. In a separate six week phase, participants ate 80 grams of oatmeal per day without additional dietary limits. That approach produced only modest changes. “As a next step, it can now be clarified whether an intensive oat-based diet repeated every six weeks actually has a permanently preventative effect,” Simon adds.

Neat, that was a fun read! I’ll have to try it!

People are people, some good, some bad. Love learning about the cultural differences and mythos though!

I do get annoyed when anyone lumps the cuisine just ‘Mexican food’! They’re all SO DIFFERENT!

For a decade, Brexit’s defenders have insisted the warnings were exaggerated and the pain temporary. The latest evidence shows the opposite. Brexit hasn’t been a one-off hit followed by recovery – it has quietly, relentlessly drained the UK economy year after year.

The headline numbers are brutal. UK GDP is now 6–8 per cent smaller than it would have been by 2025 – worse than forecast, not better. That is a permanent loss of national income, not a blip.

Investment has collapsed. UK business investment is 18 per cent lower than in comparable economies, as firms put money on hold or moved it elsewhere. Employment and productivity are both around 4 per cent lower, locking in weaker wage growth and lower living standards.

This is great! Love it! Thanks for sharing.

But same for video. I would never buy 3 streaking service at a time.

This is an awesome sounding typo.

I am so sad and angry on your son’s behalf. Kudos to him for all his hard work!

Basically any of the power features (power pivot, power query).

On Fedora KDE.

Office, specifically Excel. I use it professionally for work and the lack of feature parity in Linux alternatives (Libre Office and Only Office, specifically) are a perpetual thorn in my side.

I do my best to use Linux alternatives in my personal life, and, if necessary, use the MS web version of Excel but every so often I run into something that can only be done in the full desktop version and I have to boot back into Windows.

I’ve heard of WinBoat and https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps, but at least when I tried them they were too resource heavy to realistically run on a laptop
