@br___ian OOoh ok yeah idk of any desktop app of theirs

@smiling_for_fun Ah yeah I mostly do deep research y stuff on desktop but maybe worth shifting

i keep forgetting about gemini deep research (my favorite!) because they don't have an app

@MeghanCarron Happy Birthday!!!!

it’s mah birthday 🎉

oop haha. almost forgot tomorrow is a new day full of limitless possibility

@zencephalon Yeah pasta is about 15% protein in its macros, so not great but also higher protein stuff like beans and tofu are cheap too. and protein powder is not too expensive either (though you can buy fancier ones for more money, imo they're not better)

@smiling_for_fun That mean U mentioned doesn't sound like it has much protein?

crazy when people say eating vegan is expensive $1 of pasta, $0.50 of tomato sauce, $0.10 of garlic, $0.10 of olive oil is a delicious meal + reasonably healthy (most people could realistically have it 3x/week without negative health consequences) Most meals I eat are $2-$5

@danielbrottman i like this one a lot actually. in the beginning you do really want someone to tell you what to do. but eventually you start realizing you just gotta lock in and figure some shit out yourself, there's nothing you really need to "know" in a way, and 99% of the time u can't mess up

sometimes you can pretend to be happy and it just kind of... works

Hate is the enemy, a foul Demon to be vanquished by the unyielding blade that is Love

@rotundrutabaga woah i've never even heard of tyramine! v interesting

@smiling_for_fun For awhile I was getting anxious after eating high tyramine foods then it went away randomly

do you ever feel a combination of fear and tiredness after eating lunch? Perhaps a combination of caffeine crash + lunch-time sleepies? The sleepiness seems obvious and well discussed, but fear is a bit less so. Happens to me like once a week or more though. mix of dread/anxiety

@nograsper woah v interesting that could totally make sense. maybe the physiological affects are v similar and my mind just gets confused

@smiling_for_fun I think it's because food raises heart rate during digestion, I've also noticed this

@MeghanCarron Only read the beginning of it. I love The Old Man and the Sea and liked a few of his other novels. Definitely recommend The Old Man and the Sea for a short novel, surprisingly gripping and makes you think about ambition. Not really what you asked for though haha

has anyone read "A Moveable Feast" by Ernest Hemingway? what do you think? I'm thinking of it for my next book. I've never read anything by Hemingway before

@xiexiexiexiex this is huge thank you!

@smiling_for_fun I really liked this guy's optics series, also has one on quantum: youtube.com/playlist?list=… And this one for machining (not sure if that qualifies for "manufacturing"): youtube.com/playlist?list=…

anyone have good youtube lecture series I should watch? I want to learn about one of the following topics through a few hours of cohesive content from 1 creator: - Physics (not rly space stuff though) - Chemistry/material science - Manufacturing - Biology esp neuroscience

Looking for something that goes deeper than Crash Course/High school level education stuff Loved these robert sapolsky videos for reference youtube.com/watch?v=NNnIGh…

@LizNix it's true

@smiling_for_fun Sometimes high-key

sometimes the challenges are low key surmountable...

@responsiblparty what do you mean you checked with 127,256 people and they had a different experience? They must have been wrong bro

@smiling_for_fun My anecdote is the data!!!

me when science supports my opinion: "Trust the science. what kind of folly it is to believe yourself smarter than the Experts..." me when science proves me wrong: "but who is funding this... you see... evil corporations. yes it is in fact a CONSPIRACY, and a sham."
