    Estrogen in relation to hunger/appetite
  • I cook myself. Always the same thing. Noodles with vegetables. You just chop the vegetables to small pieces, throw it in the water, add noodles, cook as long as the noodles take to be done, then add spices, tomato juice, herbs, oil. Done, and delicious. You can eat many small portions throughout the day.

    It's cheap ($5/day) and delicious, nutritionally balanced.

    [discussion] DC (direct current) power network
  • Thank you for this well-thought and balanced viewpoint. It took me 19 days to process all the information.

    So basically, I was wrong when I assumed that inverters had an efficiency of around 50%. That misunderstanding comes from the phrase that "filters in the inverter eliminate high-frequency components in the PWM's output". I thought they discard that power. But that's apparently not the case. So the efficiency is more like >95%. So that's good.

    What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
  • yeah but like if it's stored right next to the sink, and somebody washes their hands, the water particles containing the thing that is washed off (be it poop particles or greasy substances) go everywhere, from experience. including on your toothbrush, right?

    What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack?
  • I prefer reading Wikipedia. For learning, I need stuff to be written down in a well-structured, indexed way.

  • Store your toothbrush rolled in a piece of sanitary paper. It's so much cleaner than having it laying around, where dust gets on it.

    Better than the bread is somehow wet.

  • As we all know, AC won the "War of the Currents". The reasoning behind this is that AC voltage is easy to convert up/down with just a ring of iron and two coils. And high voltage allows us to transport current over longer distances, with less loss.

    Now, the War of the Currents happened in 1900 (approximately), and our technology has improved a lot since then. We have useful diodes and transistors now, we have microcontrollers and Buck/Boost converters. We can transform DC voltage well today.

    Additionally, photovoltaics produces DC naturally. Whereas the traditional generator has an easier time producing AC, photovoltaic plants would have to transform the power into AC, which, if I understand correctly, has a massive loss.

    And then there's the issue of stabilizing the frequency. When you have one big producer (one big hydro-electric dam or coal power plant), then stabilizing the frequency is trivial, because you only have to talk to yourself. When you have 100000 small producers (assume everyone in a bigger area has photovoltaics on their roof), then suddenly stabilizing the frequency becomes more challenging, because everybody has to work in exactly the same rhythm.

    I wonder, would it make sense to change our power grid from AC to DC today? I know it would obviously be a lot of work, since every consuming device would have to change what power it accepts from the grid. But in the long run, could it be worth it? Also, what about insular networks. Would it make sense there? Thanks for taking the time for reading this, and also, I'm willing to go into the maths, if that's relevant to the discussion.

    Hey there, I wanted to make a meme to clarify what the "grindset" actually does. It grinds the human to dust.

    With "grindset" I mean the "hard-working" mindset that lots of people in the US seam to have.

    I think it's very unhealthy, exhausts the body, and should be avoided. People should make a living with less than 50 hours of work per week.

    scene from Ice Age - No Time For Nuts (2006)

    it is a dystopian future where we technologically advance the planet to a state where there's no oak trees anymore. the above picture (supposed to be utopian) always appears dystopian to me, so i made this meme.
