Same! And now I know why my phone is able to scan a QR code, even when it’s only partially in the frame/border that comes up.

Great article, thanks for sharing.

TL;DR

"…push refined carbohydrates to the end of the meal to help reduce post-meal blood glucose levels and keep you feeling fuller longer.

Consider these tips:

Start with high-fiber, low-calorie foods with high water content, such as soups, vegetables and fruits. They’ll fill you up and limit the sugar you take in on an empty stomach.

Choose soluble fibers, such as nuts or beans, to slow digestion and possibly lower your risk of heart disease.

Eat plant-based proteins, which increase your fiber intake and lead to greater satiety.

Save high-fat foods for after fiber and protein since they affect heart health and don’t help with satiety."

This very much sucks.

Edit: message received. Sorry.

And there are so many foods that can’t be grown in certain parts of the world, but I can get almost anything.

Even something as commonplace as a banana has to be shipped to a large portion of the world where it doesn’t grow natively.

LMGTFY:

I asked chatGPT how stem cells are collected:

From embryos: In the very early stages of development (usually from leftover embryos from fertility treatments), stem cells can be extracted. These are called embryonic stem cells and have the potential to turn into any cell type in the body.

From adult tissues: Adults have stem cells in certain parts of their bodies, like the bone marrow, fat tissue, and blood. These are called adult stem cells and can usually turn into a few specific cell types (not as flexible as embryonic ones).

From umbilical cord blood: After a baby is born, the blood from the umbilical cord and placenta is rich in stem cells. These cells are collected and can be stored for future medical use.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs): Scientists can take regular cells from the body, like skin cells, and reprogram them in a lab to behave like stem cells. These lab-created stem cells can act like embryonic stem cells and turn into many different types of cells.

tl;dr

California’s new law will require digital storefronts to clarify that consumers are buying licenses, not outright ownership of digital goods.

The law forces companies to use distinct language when selling digital media to specify license terms to avoid false advertising fines.

The law goes into effect next yea, but won’t apply to companies that offer “permanent offline downloads” of digital goods.

If I need to think, I prefer absolute silence (noise cancelling headphones).

If I’m doing something mindless, I’ll put on a podcast or audiobook.

Good point. It does read like a liability disclaimer.

I’ve noticed that Google doesn’t always get the speed limit correct on more rural roads.

Or it can’t tell if a temporary, lowered speed sign has been posted in a construction zone, for example.

This was great, thanks!

Thank you 🙏

Ugh, I remember the lineup of kids willing to sign away their credit scores up for a credit card to get the free advertisement “swag” T-shirts, pens, and frisbees

I, too, sort by “New” and found/commented on the newer duplicate of this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/28264641

It’s been deleted, probably because it was down-voted to oblivion.

Ironically, I had suggested waiting before posting to a different community. And only if the OC didn’t get enough traction.

Can someone ELI5, please?

^ this, OP

Choose one community. If it doesn’t get a lot of traction, then try another community.

Posting to several communities at the same time is spammy.

On the surface, success appears to happen overnight. In reality, it’s a lot of long, thankless hours. That’s why big success is rare, and can feel serendipitous at times.

It’s also okay to try really hard and then change your mind, or feel disappointed if it doesn’t work out ❤️
