  • It did get abandoned early in the series if I recall (been a while) and from what I recall he did tweak the results after Boomer so that more or less only he could tell so maybe it did work, the first “results” before her were totally fudged so who even knows. I had also forgotten that

    Tap for spoiler

    Ellen was tested on screen as well, we just never know what the actual results were. I need to to do a rewatch but I honestly I wouldn’t have been surprised if it did work for the final five and he just kept that to himself.



  • It’s not a secret one at all as I based it on some existing seasonings but I’ve got a lot of mileage out of

    • coarse ground black pepper
    • salt
    • cayenne pepper
    • dill weed
    • coarse ground coriander seeds
    • garlic powder

    I don’t have any smoked paprika right now or I’d toss that in too. Just grind the spices for a few seconds in a mortar and pestle. I’m pretty generous with the cayenne, say this ends up roughly 1:1:1:2-3:0.5:1 ratio, sometimes I add some red pepper flake too. The seasoning this is ripping off uses dill seed instead of dill weed but hey, use what you have right?



  • I use both, debian on servers and old machines, arch on my desktop. Arch being rough is way overblown in my experience, the install script makes it straightforward to setup and it’s been pretty much painless since I switched to it two years ago, I had experience with debian before that. Both arch and debian have fantastic documentation available.

    Debian and derivatives, in my experience, are really well supported so that’s a plus. Age of packages has never really bothered me and cases where I want bleeding edge there’s options for that.

    Both are solid options and I don’t think you’ll be upset either way, if you can I’d try both.



  • Also respectfully, there’s a lot of things that compound leading to obesity, we (as a generalisation) seem to historically treat it as if it’s a some sort of personal failure rather than a condition. Would you have the same concerns about smoking or alcohol cessation drugs (which afaik ozempic actually does help with the latter)? Food addiction is a thing and we have poor mental health support. The people I know on ozempic talk about it being a life changer for them (which I understand, vyvanse did the same thing for me) if only to help shake their addiction to enable them to make lifestyle changes.

    Yeah there’s absolutely a rating to look for and N95 is part of that, stateside, you have niosh ratings, you’ll see these wrt industrial ppe, but there are ratings for use with CN and CS gas. My experience with them is the chemical cartridges usually have a p100 filter combined with them for particulate too. Organic Vapour & Acids are easy to get a hold of (Used these when i worked in O&G), I don’t know how well they’d work against teargas unfortunately.

    I will 100% recommend north full face, a half mask is probably better than nothing but the full face gives you eye protection too. I didn’t personally like the 3m style masks, but it’s all down to personal preference, just make sure it fits correctly.




  • Track everything you eat, even when you’re in a good place, keep tracking. I have ADHD so I’ve found it best to treat it like I do financial tracking, it becomes habit very quickly and apps like waistline make it super easy to enter, especially if you’re in the habit of weighing everything.

    I have to minimise the smacks kept in the house, and what we do keep tends to be “better” or at least less calorie dense. I don’t deny myself cravings, but I’ll follow servings and budget for it in calories. Waistline averages out calories over a configurable period so I don’t sweat going over one day, all balances out over the long term.

    Therapy helped a lot, if only to help me have a healthier relationship with food, my therapist has a lot of experience with addiction & substance abuse and food can absolutely be a drug (which is not acknowledged enough imo). Between that and getting treatment for ADHD I’ve managed to get back down to one of the lowest weights I’ve been as an adult. I’ve tried to make it a lifestyle change which I credit heavily to success as well. My partner having a health scare that forced them to review their diet also helped tbf, but we were already on that path, was just some extra push.

    What you eat can help too, fibre being a big one. Make friends with legumes, add them into your cooking. I like chickpeas and lentils, will add them into a lot of dishes I cook. Use seeds too, ground flax tastes great and adds a lot of good fats, sunflower and pumpkin seeds go well in salads. I like to do meals that can serve leftovers, stuff like soups & stews are great because they don’t have a lot of active cooking (you throw stuff into a pot and let it simmer for a while). Higher quality calories are helpful, tell you that personally I’ll feel fuller longer eating some porridge with flax and fruit in the morning than the occasions I’ll grab a McMuffin or something.

    The later games can be immersive if you don’t use map fast travel imo. There’s a few mods like better carriages and boats that give you a lot more travel options, I like sign fast travel too. Find it makes me explore a lot more instead of just rushing to the next objective. It’s not quite the same but I find that + survival helps a lot (and combat gameplay overhaul, but depends how much you’re ok modding core gameplay elements. I totally run combat mods on morrowind when i replay it, I’m not a purist when it comes to how people want to play a game)

    My first experience with morrowind was on the xbox and I played the hell out of it, wasn’t until years later I finally bought a pc copy. I found Dread Delusion captured some of that immersive alien world feeling that morrowind did for me as a kid.


  • I’m pretty much the same way, sometimes I write it down just to get nutrition info (have diabetic family who like my baking), I tend to target a hydration and go from there so I’ll experiment with it, thanks. Totally get you on the fun part, been experimenting with adding a bunch of seeds and different flours for a while, keeos it interesting!

    Lots of the commercially sold rye around here also doesn’t have a ton of rye in it, lots of commercial whole wheat bread is also pretty low percent wise too.




  • I have an LCD one, got my partner an OLED one last year. It’s noticeably better looking with a sightly larger screen and the battery life is decidedly better. I got the LCD when it was steeply discounted and don’t regret it, but the oled one is a nicer device. Thumbsticks are broader and it’s also a bit lighter.
