I can be controversial or annoying because I always require proof and facts for whatever people are saying/claiming. This has gotten me into a lot of heated debates, even got myself banned from "YouShouldKnow" for saying I need more proof of Israeli's genocide (that was long ago, got more proof and changed my mind). If I do not agree on some subjectively obvious topic, please do not assume I'm being unfriendly, evil or a troll. I do try my best to approach any subject with neutral and open mind. Just call me autistic with OCD

  • I genuinely don't understand this

  • It also goes to show once again that Russia does not have allies, they have opportunities. Iran was supposed to be one of their closest allies, but Russia is basically throwing them under the train for slight advantage in Ukraine.

  • I can't tell if you're talking about school or job

  • I'm still angry even 15 years later after a teacher lowered my grade just because I checked "USB" as capable technologies for video transmission. There are literally USB monitors.

    Granted, back then it really wasn't popular and bandwidth was shit, but it was capable of it.

  • CopePad

  • Isn't notepad an LLM client now?

  • The 10-20% are part of those 40-50%, like levels.

  • I feel safe saying feeling no withdrawal from coffee isn't exceptional, it's borderline normal. From quick googling, only 10-20% actually have withdrawal symptoms that ruins your day. Up to 40-50% can have mild/noticeable effects, so it's safe to say I'm majority, not exceptional or special.

  • Oh, I thought caffeine is the active ingredient in coffee, and so you consume it, and talk about it, just like when people talk about weed, they talk about THC, even tho still saying weed, but okay.

    Anyway, I've done what you told me to do for half of my life, and like I said before - I have not noticed withdrawal symptoms whatsoever.

  • I understand, but coffee is amongst the most consumed things in the world, yet headaches from it is something I don't really hear around, so it's not completely wild or out of the blue to suggest a check-up. Something similar was happening to me with energy drinks 10+ years ago, which was related to my blood pressure.

  • Medical/clinical addiction normally revolves around hard-to-control cravings (can't stop thinking about it, might get aggressive if prevented from getting it), loss of control, etc. Dependence is essentially making your body used to something, and then having to consume it to feel normal, or feel like shit when you stop consuming it. While addiction and dependence are similar, addiction is far more brutal and hard to quit. By no means coffee is as hard to skip as cigarette, to anyone. If your reaction is "wow, coffee makes my head hurt, I don't want it", that's pretty opposite of addictive substance.

  • Coffee literally hydrates you. The fact that you believe a popular myth makes me assume you don't really understand coffee.

    The worse sleep is a fair argument, but coffee drinkers generally live by a golden rule - no coffee 6 hours before bed.

    EDIT: Ffs Lemmy, it really isn't that hard to search and learn something new instead of just downvotting.

    Moderate coffee consumption hydrates you similarly to water, debunking the myth that its diuretic effect causes dehydration. While caffeine is a mild diuretic, the high water content in coffee outweighs this effect. Daily coffee drinkers develop a tolerance, allowing coffee to contribute effectively to daily fluid needs.

  • At that point I might do a full medical checkup. If it's so easy to get headaches and become "useless" for the day just because of coffee, that sounds like something else is going on in your body that makes you extra suspecible to these things, but I'm no medical professional, it just sounds extreme/rare to me, something worth checking out

  • Finally, AI investments paying off

  • Since when are coffee withdrawals so powerful? They've never even been noticeable to me. Since when do you develop coffee dependence (there is no such thing as addiction from coffee afaik) so quickly? I think OP is severly overestimating the dangers of coffee, and meanwhile I'm here drinking it purely for health (especially heart) and cognitive function, not energy.

  • Just recently me assisting thru remote desktop:

    Windows popup comes up

    Me: Cancel

    He: Presses OK

    Me: WHY did you press Ok, I said cancel

    He: I thought we're supposed to continue with this

  • Lol no, that is entirely different category, those are essentially limited edition engineering pieces. The consumer one is Ananda unveiled, which in my local shop goes for €460.

  • I get what you're saying, but there are basically only 3 companies whose headphones are worth 300-600€. Said companies took decades, mountain of innovations and patents to get where they are now.

    If you can actually get that kind of immersion and quality cheaper - I'm all ears. Literally

  • Not necessarily. For headphones it can go higher. I'm currently looking at hifiman unveiled.
