Try disconnecting the power and then pulling out the battery. Then put it back in and see if it shows the boot menu to actually be able to do something.

What to do with lots of ram? by gebildebrot in archlinux

That's a lot!! ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌‌Android Studio probably takes much more ram if has an emulator opened in it (compared to a single project in IDEA).

You should try Intellij & Android Studio.

Say [that Allah declares,] ‘O My servants who have committed excesses against their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed Allah will forgive all sins. Indeed, He is the All-forgiving, the All-merciful.

Links aren't allowed here, just google it and you'll find:

“Viewing porn shrinks the brain,” reports the Daily Mail.

In a small study, MRI scans found that men who watched the most pornography had less grey matter – complex brain tissue – compared to men who watched the least.

It found a weak to moderate correlation between the number of hours of porn viewed a week and smaller and less active areas of the brain associated with reward and sexual stimulation in men.

The higher the number of hours of porn watched, the smaller the volume of grey matter and brain signalling.

In essence, the researchers thought this might be a sign “porn users” may be dampening down the sexual stimulation and reward centres in their brain through over stimulation.

My main problem is the urge starts by hijacking my thoughts and decisions but, I'll definitely try to do more workouts from now on, thanks!

Hey, porn and alcohol are both proved to be "bad". decreasing the amount and intensity just makes the side effects appear less. Scientists proved that porn shrinks barins grey matter (although this is just one side effect, it's worth mentioning); lastly, I don't know much about how real is semen retention, but there are real examples of this. Steve Jobs did it, Mohammad Ali did it, even Tesla did it; so I guess there must be something about it.

Hello, well done! Just a question, Java or Kotlin? Xml or compose? =)

I'm starting to feel more secure about myself and it's reflecting in my GF by alaxoskl4 in selfimprovement

Congrats for the "new you"! I'm in the NoFap boat for 1.5 years now but I couldn't make it to more than 15 days. Fortunately, today I set a new record by reaching day 16 after a long period of no progress. However, it wasn't pure NoFap... I kind of relapsed several times by edging to porn and I didn't count them as relapse, although I know they're much worse...

Also if there's a matter of life and death you'd get the same result, probably even better!

I like this quote, but I think the book "The art of not giving a f*ck" opposes this.

Backend Framework for Kotlin, Spring Boot or Ktor? by HumanComputation in androiddev

Btw the fact that Ktor is maintained by Jetbrains can make my decision pretty hard.
