CaptainSpaceman, (edited ) in Does tinned food have any nutrition or is it just empty calories?

Canned foods tend to have less nutrients compared to fresh or frozen fruits/veggies.

IIRC, frozen actually has the most nutrients because its harvested when its ripest versus fresh produce thats harvested earlier than it should be and "ripens " as its delivered and shelved. Could be wrong, just something I remember hearing.

I prefer fresh to frozen, because of the texture changes.

@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s part of it, but I believe the other part is the canning process further depletes some of the nutritional value.

CaptainSpaceman,

Makes sense, raw produce is more nutrient rich than cooked produce

Nollij,

Yes, but the nutrients in raw are not as available as cooked. They’re present in higher quantities, but a lot will pass through undigested.

Calculating how much is destroyed by cooking vs how much is made available is going to depend heavily on the food and nutrients in question.

But I will say that if you need more or less of a nutrient, you will get much further by changing the food vs how it’s prepared.

Mostly, but sometimes cooking them can actually increase some values by breaking down cell walls and making nutrients more available (to a point, anyhow).

What's the use case for DTA these days? Didn't the extension system change gut the useful features?

I have jDownloader set up on my Synology server which does everything that DownThemAll would do for me and more. There are desktop clients available for jDownloader as well.

fmstrat,

Imgus is great

remotelove, (edited ) in Is it normal for your BP to rise after quitting
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

Quitting drinking is a peculiar beast. If you were a “normal” drinker, you might only experience some mild mood irritation or have an issue getting to sleep if nightcaps were your thing. You might experience nothing.

If you were a heavy drinker and immediately quit, that can actually kill you. I am going to be realistic here: Ex-drinkers in my class of alcoholic could drink a few bottles of wine, or a case of beer or 5th of liquor throughout the day and then drink more after that, pass out drunk and then start the next morning with a couple of shots.

Alcohol withdrawal in those extreme cases can be deadly. When I quit, I was in bed for a week, with supervision, and had a detox center on speed dial, just in case. It’s no joke. (I should add that my approach was still risky and stupid.)

But yeah, quitting anything that is addictive is going to piss your body off a little. Eventually, if you lay off the “bad things” long enough, your body will recover. You can see the full gambit with nicotine though: Agitation, higher BP, sweats, etc. It depends on your body.

Above all else, talk to a doctor. Everyone’s situation is always unique and is rarely diagnosed properly over social media.

Crashumbc,

I second this, I was an extreme drinker and ended up in the hospital several times… Last couple relapses I drank myself down, which is extremely risky and stupid.

ryathal, in Countries that let anyone in?

Assuming you don’t mean the US, but it’s basically the only place that let’s anyone in, even if it’s a limited amount by region.

uienia, (edited )

You would have to be very ignorant about the US immigration rules if you think it let’s basically everyone in.

ryathal,

Compared to every other country in the world, it’s exceptionally permissive.

Philo, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

Don’t have Firefox but the first plugin you must install on any browser or turn in your browsing license is uBlock Origin.

Dehydrated,

Ironically, in the future, Firefox will be the only browser to properly support uBlock Origin. Chromium will kill adblockers through their MV3 garbage. Switch to Firefox, use the proper version of uBO and keep your browsing license.

I do the same when wiping my phone. Some time ago I wiped it carfully and suddenly all the colors changed until i tapped the screen again.

Kecessa, in Countries that let anyone in?

Just finding a job elsewhere in your own country might be a better option, plenty of smaller towns with cheap rents and businesses looking to hire…

Apock,

As someone who grew up in and still has family in a small town (5-10k pop) - Things may be cheaper but no one’s paying livable wages even for these small towns.

Kecessa,

Depends where you live and if there’s a minimum of labor laws. With the minimum wage around here I could easily afford a one bedroom apartment in the town I live in and I probably wouldn’t have any reason to work minimum wage since there’s an industrial sector in the town with businesses looking for staff. 7k in population, so services available including an hospital…

weeeeum, in Countries that let anyone in?

I know that Georgia is very lenient on maximum stay, 364 days a year and any day outside of the country the days are reset. You’re essentially a citizen that has to take mandatory annual vacations.

Tblisi is pretty well developed from what I have heard and it’s a very safe and peaceful place (ignoring 2008 >:( ). It’s still pretty poor compared to developed countries, so despite that human development is decent, you won’t be able to afford as many foreign products (especially tech).

PeterLossGeorgeWall,

Georgian food is amazing. Also tblisi is a really cool city.

Railison, in What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

Not overly high tech but such a good fit for the culture and extremely convenient:

Self-filling, self-warming baths

Put the plug in during the day, press the button to fill the bath at the remote keypad in the kitchen. Baths fills and a little jingle announces that the bath is ready at the perfect temperature.

Blackmist,

Yeah, I’ve got a self filling one. Nice to run a bath without even getting out of bed. Although if you forget to put the plug in first, you’ll arrive to an empty bath.

Some that I use:

Dark Mode

I don’t like having a light screen.

  • Dark Reader. This does a pretty technically-impressive-to-me job of making reasonable dark versions of pages. It’s not perfect – there are a handful of sites that it needs to be toggled off for, makes something hard to read – but I’m amazed that it does the job it does.
  • Blank Dark Tab: Replace the new tab with a blank page matching Firefox’s built-in dark mode

Privacy/Anti-Tracking/Ad-blocking

Paywalls

Some paywalls can be bypassed.

Tweaking Frameworks

  • Stylus: Doesn’t do anything on its own, but permits collections of third-party themes to be applied to websites to fix annoyances.
  • Greasemonkey. This doesn’t do anything on its own, but it permits people to publish little modifications to be applied to webpages, permits for a lot of little scripts that fix annoyances on websites. There were a number of useful scripts that I used on Reddit.

Misc

  • Edit with Emacs. Permits opening the contents of a textarea in an external emacs instance. Nice for things like, say, writing a large lemmy post in Markdown. I vaguely recall that, at least some years back, there was a way to embed a version of vim in Firefox textareas, so if vim’s your cup of tea, that might be interesting, if it’s still around.
  • Instance Assistant for Lemmy and Kbin. A variety of quality-of-life fixes for lemmy and kbin. Lets one open a given lemmy/kbin post on their local instance if they wind up viewing a page on a remote instance.
  • Reddit Enhancement Suite. If you still use Reddit, this has an enormous collection of quality-of-life improvements for Reddit.

EDIT: I don’t know if this is the embedded vim that I recall, but Firenvim seems to do roughly the same thing, if not.

EDIT2: There’s also some “overlay remover” plugin that can bypass a number of obnoxious overlays that I use on my desktop, but I don’t have it installed on this machine. I think that it’s Behind the Overlay.

Decentraleyes. Targets CDN tracking.

The Arkenfox’s wiki says not to use it.

Privacy Badger. Targets cross-site tracking, EFF project.

Does uBlock Origin with it’s filter lists and Firefox’s Total Cookie Protection make Privacy Badger pointless to use?

Anyone joining me?

habanhero,

I was there and going again tomorrow and not to worry, you will be there.

But don’t drink from the water fountain

You can make them into stickers and put them into messages, can even have them moving. That stuff was an advertised feature though.

reversebananimals, (edited ) in If you could travel to a place and time while you're a certain age - where would you go?

I would love to be a person* in my late 20s - early 30s in 1920-1930 traveling amongst Western European cities.

Art Deco, The Jazz Age, surrealism and cubism in art, the birth of radio, electricity and cars, Albert Einstein and Nicolai Tesla expanding the scientific consciousness of the human race while Alexander Fleming discovers penicillin. Women get the vote while Egypt and spiritualism grip popular imagination. Monarchies crumble and democracies rise.

It would have been an incredible experience to live through.

  • Of course, a lot of people were unfairly treated during this time too. Its easy romanticize the good and ignore the awful.
Towerofpain11,

That sounds awesome. Experiencing this in your early 30s when you have a bit more wisdom would be great.
