  • This is how much sugar you are [possibly] eating.

  • And honey is sugar.

    The difference between it and table sugar is negligible from a glycemic response perspective.

  • There was a really good explanation by a rando about how it happened. Seems a dev made a mistake when publishing a change.

    Apparently bitwarden immediately changed internal procedure for publishing changes.

  • What uses less power for a mouse, USB dongle or Bluetooth?

    Jump

  • Years ago it was relevant (like 15 years ago). I had a BT mouse then, and it was a power hog. So much so it was rechargeable with its own charging dock. And yes, when you walked away for the day you better dock it!

    But I'm sure it's far, far better now. Logitech advertises some of their's as having 1 year battery like, on a single AA battery

  • I wonder if that's from power saving with BT mice.

    The ones I've had would sleep much sooner than say the Logitech Unify ones, which I've always found really annoying.

  • To be fair, if you make pasta sauce from scratch you're going to be using a fair amount of sugar to balance the acidity of your tomatoes, so I don't find pasta sauce a useful demonstration.

    But you're still making a good point. Once you start making stuff yourself, you really see what isn't required.

  • TP-Link cold feet - go for ubiquiti instead?

    Jump

  • Ubiquiti?

    You can't give me that garbage. I despise it, after setting up a single access point (plus also watching friends deal with it at client sites).

    Besides the discovery issues and slow performance when trying to manage it, I had a random open network on it after setup. This network didn't appear anywhere in the control panel. I could turn off the access point and the network disappeared.

    It didn't show up in the guest network config (which was turned off anyway). It had the same name as the WPA-protected network, it was just open - no security at all.

    I had to reset the access point to get rid of this weird random open network.

    What kind of garbage product does that?

    Now let's look at cloud keys. One has a hard drive in it. Just one drive, 3.5", which besides storing data also stores the OS. What? Why is the OS not on some firmware or at least an M2, since the drive is really for storing surveillance data (did I mention it's a single drive?), what a joke. Why would I bother with such an expensive device that has zero fault tolerance, when I could simply buy a cheaper real machine, run multiple drives, and host the software there?

    I lack the vocabulary to describe how bad Unifi is.

  • Get the frozen pre-made meal or just make it yourself?

    Jump

  • If you can, just do one pot of something that makes leftovers that hold well and are easy to reheat. After you get one thing, it gives you some breathing room for the next couple days.

    I try to make a big pot of something on Sundays, so I don't have to think about cooking Monday, maybe Tuesday. That gives me a little breathing room. I also make stuff I can portion and freeze - again, gives me a little breathing room.

    Last week I was under the weather for 4 days, I just grabbed stuff out of the freezer and threw it in the toaster oven. Zero effort for my sick self. Now I need to restock what I used.

  • Get the frozen pre-made meal or just make it yourself?

    Jump

  • Some people don't like leftovers, I can only figure their experience with leftovers has always been bad.

    I love having leftovers around, but I make a pot of good stuff with plans for the leftovers. Some things are never leftovers because they don't hold well (anything with leeks or tarragon for example).

  • Your health says avoid pre-made mixes as much as possible. I'm no salt-phobe (insufficient salt is a greater concern for 99% of people than too much), but even I shy away from the insane amounts of salt/sodium in anything packaged. Some stuff has more sodium in it than anyone should have in a day.

    Plus, pre-made mixes often aren't anywhere near as good as making something yourself, and usually more expensive, even allowing for your own time.

    There are exceptions of course, but I have spreadsheets to calculate costs of mixes, meals, you name it, and it's rare when something is cheaper to buy pre-made.

    Dishwasher detergent powder is the same cost as making myself. As is onion soup mix, gravy mix powder, etc. Most other mixes I make as I go along - making chili uses a mix of different spices which I keep on hand. And I have 3 different chili recipes that use different spice mixes, and the end result is very different. I have a few recipes like this (creole/Cajun for example), that technically use the same spices, but not the same mix, and are very different for it.

    I don't understand people like your wife (or one of my siblings) that seem to view eating as just something necessary, (bless their hearts 😁, as my southern family would say)...good food is crucial to me, it's not just something I do to get by. I mean it's something we have to do a few times every day of our lives. I want that experience to be as good as I can as often as I can.

  • Kids all across the US are waiting at the bus in the dark anyway.

    Not everyone gets to get on a bus after sunrise.

    The better answer is to just quit switching altogether, and socially adjust everything to x hours pre mid-day sun.

    With everything being connected these days it's trivial (hell, industrial clocks have been tied to electrical frequency since 1900, so it's always been trivial to compensate them).

    If "6am" slowly moved every day due to when mid-day sun/sunrise occurs, no one would even notice.

  • Are you me? The only difference is I just switched to a Pixel 5. My 2006 car should run for many more years, 10 at least.

  • Just this month I finally moved off my 2017 flagship... Only because my cell provider stopped supporting it (for no fucking reason).

    I was running the latest version of Lineage too. Thing was great. It did need a battery (which I may still replace for about $7).

  • And like you said, sometimes you need to replace a phone.

    Maybe it was lost, or destroyed.

  • Diabetes (Type I) is a bitch, because diet can only manage it somewhat. And there's 2 subtypes there, with all sorts of biochem happening. Plus hormones are a crazy interwoven system.

    Type II now, yes, there's near-zero reason to not have control of it, as it's nearly all diet induced. And something like 90%+ of all diabetes in the US is Type II today. I knew no one as a kid who had diabetes (though it later appeared in my family).
