These rich and colourful photos remind me of an internal battle I’m having with my own amateur photography. I’ve always aspired to this kind of styling, but lately been intrigued by how you can sometimes make photos subjectively better by muting the colours, making them less true to life, reducing the contrast, etc. Advocates for that style would call the photos in the blog post “cartoonish”. I guess there’s a place for both styles. For what it’s worth, I think the photos in the blog post are great.

Or how about the Danish “får” (sheep) and “ø” (Island)?

I think it's worse than that, at least for the AMD-based Frameworks. Ostensibly, S3 sleep isn't supported by the CPU.

Might be a lesson for us all.

Tab grouping is here, but not sure about automatic grouping.

New comment by l8rlump in "High vitamin B6 doses over a long period could cause irreversible nerve damage"

l8rlump — Fri, 30 May 2025 07:05:49 +0000

That's interesting. The product I looked up has 50mg of the pyridoxine hydrochloride form of vitamin B6: https://www.bioceuticals.com.au/products/ultra-muscleze

Interesting that they ostensibly make a version with the P-5-P form. I've read that the P-5-P form is less associated with neuropathy. As a personal anecdote, 50mg of pyridoxine hydrochloride daily for a couple of weeks gave me nothing except numb fingers (which resolved after a few weeks). However, 12mg of P-5-P with my magnesium supplement has been life-changing so far. Been taking 350mg of magnesium daily for a year or more but only when adding the P-5-P with it, do I have relief from cramps.

Anyone in the know: is there some condition that would explain this?

New to containers. How easy would it be to run only the OSX Reminders and Calendar apps, or as stripped-down as possible a system to get these running without the overhead of the OS? The webapp versions of these are crippled compared to the OSX/iOS apps.
