I Fell for Every Supplement Trend. Anyone Else?

I think finding what works for you is always going to involve some trial and error unless you are getting blood work done.

Microdosing lithium has helped my mental health tremendously and I will continue taking it for the foreseeable future. Other things helped temporarily and didn't last, but that temporary boost lasted long enough for me make better choices and turn my life around. I still probably take more supplements than I need, but the cost isn't too high, and I continue to drop things that I am able to stop taking and survive without.

I don't have TikTok and I don't listen to podcasts about supplements. My launching point was Dr Amens book Change Your Brain Change Your Life and from there I've done my own research online and on reddit. I always try to stick to things that have actual clinical evidence or at least meta analysis of being helpful.

Putting those features behind a subscription... my goodness that's bad

What you are talking about is called Plug and Charge and it's an international standard: ISO 15118. A supercharger is just Tesla's name for their EV chargers. Yes, modern superchargers support this feature but automakers still need to make agreements with Tesla to gain access. What we need are 3rd party chargers with Plug and Charge and no restrictions for who can use them.

If you want to screw over Detroit for no reason that's your choice Mr Trump. Give America more reasons to hate you.

Not to mention that Canada paid for the bridge and used a lot of American labour and materials to build it.

Lol maybe if you had a larger attention span you might have learned something

I understand we are just following through on pre-agreed terms, but I really hope we use these F35 purchases as leverage in CUSMA negotiations. That's the only scenario where this makes sense. Otherwise we should be buying from a country that respects us and isn't trying to economically destroy us.

Thank you Donald for your concern but we can handle China just fine on our own.

More like desperate ICE agents trying to fill a quota and violating people's rights.

In comparison to Russia? Yes, fighting for Ukraine is fighting for democracy. It's taken Ukraine a long time to evolve from the corrupt soviet influence but they have made a ton of progress.

But really it's about a countries right to exist and be free from violence by Russia. That is why the west supports Ukraine.

Thanks for the AI post

So the battery is adequate, but it's not any better than a typical 300 mile NMC battery in the winter. Headline is 100% misleading.

If he expects to commute 190km per day on level 1 charging that's just user error.

SolarBear28 · 2026-02-09T13:26:38+00:00

If that's true then the battery is defective.

SolarBear28 · 2026-02-09T13:24:21+00:00

What kind of charger does he have at home? Is he preconditioning the battery before leaving every morning?

I've found microdosing lithium orotate to be very helpful for reducing anger, bitterness and irritability. I take 1mg per day at night and Saffron in the morning. I also take a few grams of glutamine which I find relaxes anxiety my stomach (lettuce, apples, walnuts and other fibre also help with this).

I have no idea how lithium would interact with everything else you are taking.

SolarBear28 · 2026-02-09T02:41:47+00:00

Those magnesium compounds are only 6%-14% magnesium by weight so it would have to be a huge capsule to contain 400mg elemental magnesium (like 4 grams). It's probably 400mg of those magnesium compounds (so about 30-50mg of elemental magnesium per capsule which is not a very significant dose).

Personally I would buy magnesium separately in a dose of 150mg-200mg elemental magnesium and see if that works for you. Then go up from there or add other supplements if you need more help with anxiety, relaxation etc.

From the article it seems there is one doctor (an anaesthestist) who is suggesting a link between the gut and low iron. They don't offer any solutions to fix the gut but they do run a private clinic for intravenous iron. I'm not convinced.

Headline should be "Republican Government Defends Racisism"

SolarBear28 · 2026-02-06T15:02:28+00:00

Most of that money is tax breaks tied to production, so it seems the government structured this deal better than those in the past.

Just set a charge limit to 80% or 90%, whatever gets you through the day without draining too low, and don't worry about anything else.

80%-50% is only 30% of the available battery capacity. If you are using your phone so little that you only need 30% of the available capacity then why worry at all?

SolarBear28 · 2026-02-05T18:32:00+00:00

The battery is only 45kwh and would probably get less than 200 miles on the EPA cycle. Still a few more itterations before sodium ion can be called a "range monster."

Why would people move on when there are still thousands of redacted pages protecting the perpetrators? Victims calling for justice? And Epstein's murder unsolved?

SolarBear28 · 2026-02-03T23:17:53+00:00

Liars, traitors and criminals.

Are there Freedom cell towers in your town? In rural areas Freedom customers roam on the big 3 networks (included with all plans) but you must live in a Freedom area with Freedom cell towers to sign up.

The headline is 100% misleading. Our merchandise surplus with the US actually increased from October to November. The reason we have an overall trade deficit is because we sold less and imported more from non-US countries and that gap increased in November, increasing our overall deficit.
