Looks a bit like "Aarhus Ø" in my city. a part of the city that is quite new.

https://aarhusoe.dk/media/owqjyq0b/dji_0091.jpg - the construction site in the corner is done now, its a very very tall building that looks similar to the one in the center - just... very much taller.

it's a terribly crowded place, and i hate it - but at least the apartment buildings look different than all the ol 'red brick cubes' from the 40s and 50s we have in the rest of the city (You can see some of them in the background in this picture)

the keto diets work

studies on 'low carb' diets are varying in the amount of carbs, some go up to like 30% carbs (Daily intake) which is crazy, but 'low' compared to the overall dietary guidelines.

There's some good keto studies though.

i've tried it myself.

keto diet, mainly dairy and meat, ate 2 meals per day. one at 2 PM and another at 7ish PM, and 0 carb energy drinks, not much exercise except a walk to the local supermarket every couple of days. lost 16 kg over 3 months. I was unemployed at the time, and mostly played video games.

I like jellyfin

but it still lacked some of the features that made me stick to plex (over VLC)

It'll become better over time, and probably much better than plex. plex dont do many new features, and there's still a ton of issues with it (like... audio is at like -50 dB and you cant hear shit)

So you ask their age or what?

when is a women a women? and when does she become 'elderly' ?

you also cannot see if a teenager is 19 or 20.

New comment by Refusing23 in "People are bad at reporting what they eat. That's a problem for dietary research"

Refusing23 — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 13:22:45 +0000

thats a problem for research that relies on food questionaires and thats been known for a while, and probably why there's even a thing called 'the french paradox' and so on.

but i get it

it's expensive to do properly, and so its not really done that often, and when it happens there's usually only a few participants.

doesnt look comfy to type on the laptop with that edge at the bottom. My wrists wouldn't like it.

also 22 bucks for a few grams of cardboard? seems excessive. but hey at least it'll break fast, cant handle moisture, and so on.

New comment by Refusing23 in "I deleted my social media accounts"

Refusing23 — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 07:02:01 +0000

yep

i deleted fb 10ish years ago.

and since then every family event that had been planned, was done on fb (just like before) and i find out about it by a text from my sister.

the trick is to not give a shit. Coz they don't.
