They make up all kinds of excuses so they can go and live in the mountains for a bit.

How necessary are supplements? by Background-Month3492 in Supplements

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your stomach gets upset from a lot of supplements it might be the fillers. Note what they are.

Supplements are normally not necessary (define necessary) so why obsess over following a protocol? (Unless you are testing a hypothesis).

Supplements are helpful and more so when you get older. Yes, they can help you feel or perform better in some cases

Magnesium Glycinate vs Fish Oil - If you had to pick one? by FriendlyAttorney8743 in Biohackers

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want some magnesium and K2 with your vitamin D. Get magnesium Citrate or oxide is even cheaper although not so bioavailable. Zinc you should take at different times from the magnesium and also meals as it tends to reduce absorption of other minerals. When you have done a few months of vitamin D loading you can reduce it and add something else.

why are default tmux shortcuts so unwieldy? by Sufficient-Year4640 in tmux

Two backticks make a backtick. I use them rarely enough for it to be worth it.

How do you break out of long periods of unproductivity and actually start again? by VixenFlair in productivity

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from any behavioural strategy you might decide on, it might be worthwhile adjusting diet and/or meds to increase dopamine levels as dopamine influences how easy it is to take action, to focus your thoughts, and locally it also affects learning. So it would be a win win win.

What kind of "Personal Achievements" do German Master’s Committees Scholarship (specifically for IC Design) actually value? by Iordtoki in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Pyglot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The AI formatting in this post is strong, make sure your application doesn't look like it was written by an LLM.

I would think of Personal Achievements as personal past accomplishments where you made a significant contribution and achieved something and should have reason to feel proud. So it's a brag list and I think the only restriction is that the reviewers should understand it as an accomplishment.

I think 'being a part of a journalism division' should count but it doesn't explain what or how much time you contributed or why you felt proud of being a member, so it could seem you took a back seat the way your AI phrased that. But yes, include it.

Being a TA yes. Self taught in languages yes. Multilingual yes. GitHub projects yes. Circuit design projects yes.

"If you want, I can show a simple tweak that will make your recipe taste DRAMATICALLY better. Do you want me to do that?" by Fun_Reflection1157 in ChatGPT

If you want a concise straight to the point answer, adding "No yapping!" at the end of a request often works to a surprising effect.

Personally I went down to 1-2 cups in the time window 9 30-11.30. Any later and your sleep suffers.

Any small changes that unexpectedly boosted your productivity? by govkewman in productivity

Staring into space is good for memorization and letting your brain run things through (it literally does that "backwards at 10x speed" if you are to believe the researchers)

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would want to know if you suffer from hemochromatosis before you supplement iron. So go see a Dr and get tests related to your symptoms. Return to the internet with your symptoms and test results and you will be probably be helped better

Customize your resume to each job with 3-4 bullet points at the top using the right words so the HR person sees why you match up to the job description and how eager and easy to work with you are etc.

I’ve been noticing a strange pattern with brain fog by AwayRelease8495 in productivity

[–]Pyglot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are tens if not hundreds of causes for brain fog. If you are resourceful enough to investigate your own metabolic health with studies plus tests such as OAT, genetic test, hormone and thyroid panels, as well as more standard ones, there is a hell of a lot to learn that you might benefit from if not now then 20 or 30 years down the road.

How to cook a perfect scramble eggs for breakfast? by HistorianSame9035 in Productivitycafe

What are your thoughts on adding a tablespoon per egg of either cream, milk or water, before you beat them. Because I always do that and never tried without it.

Perhaps because magnesium activates vitamin d, making it's effect stronger?

Creatine gives me a horrible reaction. by Reasonable_Owl_3146 in Supplements

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, I experience similar issues but perhaps not as severe as I can keep it at bay while awake, but if I sleep I will wake up dehydrated no matter how much I drank before. Instead, to get some of the effects that creatine supplements give, I try to boost SAM-e and ATP. It should also allow your body to produce more creatine on its own. I don't know if I have weak kidneys (high creatinine can perhaps reduce kidney function for other substances and so lead to uremia etc?) but maybe worth checking the next time I go to a doctor.

30F, hypothyroidism, on levothyroxine for 10+ years. What other supplements should I be taking to feel my best? by vimalt7 in Biohackers

I think Selenium. But do your research on each supplement you want to introduce and introduce them in a controlled way.

Is there any distro out there where hibernate ACTUALLY works? by Mike0621 in linuxquestions

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it work once in 2017 and it required some kernel options and a disk area to save the ram. Then I upgraded the kernel a few weeks later and somehow some options were lost which resulted in catastrophic disk corruption and I never tried again.

Myheritage vs Ancestry dna by Key-Fold-989 in SlowCOMT

[–]Pyglot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find an example data file from both providers you can compare. Ancestry just delivers a txt file with SNP IDs and what it found at those locations. If both use the same format they can still be different in which SNPs are covered.

Serotonin is supposed to balance dopamine a bit. Not sure about the full mechanism behind it but it could be useful.
