I wasn’t aware that boner control was a skill. TIL.

not sure why you got downvoted. its the picture from the wapo article. unless wapo is in on the meme.
Wow, the Six Flags dancing man got into some crazy shit in his off time!

the separate pull request appears to be for archinstall, “a helper library which automates the installation of Arch Linux.” it would collect user age during installation… somehow?

edit: i believe it’s out of kickstarter now.
this is what i was going off of. i’m running cachyos (arch). am i reading wrong?

It just says that when installed it was enabled, and it has been disabled later on. As for this apache server just after install Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/httpd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) – admstg Commented Dec 7, 2023 at 10:50

mine doesn’t appear to be? it says installed but disabled. unless i’m looking at the wrong service which is entirely possible.
Thanks for explaining it a bit more. I moved from Windows 11 to CachyOS (limine bootloader and kde plasma DE) sometime last year and that may be a bit above my paygrade right now. Based on what I’m seeing in the Arch Wiki it would seem that quite a few systemd components are in use for my distro.
forgive me if this is a joke, i’m not well versed in linux shit yet, but wouldn’t that only remove systemd-boot?
it’s actually smurftopi
What is the alternative to systemd? I’m sort of a linux noob when it comes to this deeper level stuff.
I’m not sure about caffeine, but amphetamine-based stimulants (adderall, vyvanse, etc) stimulate the production of both dopamine (the feel good chemical) and norepinephrine, aka the anti-adrenaline neurotransmitter. That’s why it calms down people with ADHD, our brains don’t create or transport neurotransmitters correctly (among other things). It’s also why SNRIs are effective for some, they inhibit the brain’s reuptake of norepinephrine. I’m personally on both and they help eachother work more effectively.
https://www.chemistryhelpcenter.org/caffeine/ if you’re curious. Caffeine is a really interesting molecule.
The effect of caffeine is related to its structural similarity to adenosine. Adenosine is a nucleotide and is important for coding genes, but it is also used for energy in the form of ATP and as a neuromodulator and signaling molecule. When the brain is active, it consumes lots of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as an energy source. As the ATP is used it leaves behind a byproduct, AMP (adenosine monophosphate). The longer the brain remains active, the more AMP builds up over time. Specialized adenosine receptors detect the increasing levels of AMP and send a signal that reduces alertness and increases drowsiness until eventually, you fall asleep. While sleeping, the brain has a chance to clear out the AMP and you wake up feeling alert and rested.
Because of caffeine’s structure, it binds to adenosine receptors similarly to adenosine in AMP. However, when caffeine is bound to the receptor, it doesn’t send the sleepy signal. Instead, it blocks AMP from being able to get to that spot. In this way, caffeine essentially “turns off” adenosine receptors and they cannot tell the brain it needs to rest. The more caffeine you take, the more receptors are “turned off” giving the brain the illusion that the AMP has been flushed out resulting in an alert and rested feeling as if you had just woken up.
Correct, it has a quite similar structure to adenosine. So it can prevent you from getting more sleepy but it can’t “kick out” the adenosine already bound to the receptors.
2·2 months agohey that looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. will keep an eye on development for sure!
Because people prefer convenience to privacy and accessibility, I guess? If there was an easy way to scrape/crawl discord data I would be hoarding everything I could to repost on lemmy or something but AFAIK there are no easily automated ways to access it.
A guy I worked with used to sell. I went over to his place one time and he had literally dozens of strains, just because he liked trying them but didn’t smoke a lot. If you bought from him he would give you several different kinds and insist that you keep a journal of how different they all felt lol.
