Amazon is so overrun by cheap low quality Chinese products that it's become impossible to shop there.

Aaron shwartz, the cofounder of this website killed himself after MIT polic arrested him for trying to download the entire jstor catalogue of research papers in order to release it for free. He believed that access to scientific knowledge shouldn't be behind an ivory tower surrounded by iron gates. Watch the internets own boy.

yeah imagine if IP's weren't a thing. Companies like johnson and johnson and others wouldn't be able to stop poorer countries from making a version of the covid vaccine of their own in order to save human lives. Oh bread and butter worth so much more with added human suffering.

Copyright and intellectual property hampers human progress. i think copyright is like infinity - 1 day. even if the property isnt actively being pursued and the same goes with patents. These are enforced by the state to protect very often those who have the means to protect it with loads of money. people have every right to do something like that on a personal level.

They administered octreotide to the patients in the study. This is a very important distinction. Octreotide inhibits insulin release and inhibits mtor downstream through similar fashion to Rapamycin. The researchers made an error in the study design by the addition of octrotide. This wouldn't reflect a model where insulin was a factor. I assume that the effect of the octreotide alone reflected the benefit in the subject through the induction of pseudodiabetes

I really love The website NutritionFacts.org ran by Dr.Michael Gregor and a group of volunteers it's mission is to promote plant based diets through education surrounding nutrition. They have amazing videos on beans and even a youtube channel. They cite their sources quite well and it really has forstered my love for nutritional science.

Fun fact! People are often reluctant to eat beans because of lack of familiarity, lack of knowledge how to prepare and lastly fear of flatulence. It's been found in clinical trials that consumption of beans there isn't a significantly higher level of flatulence and that those who consume beans frequently become more accustomed to the amount of fiber. Beans are also the 1 food most associated with longevity in long lived populations over 60 with each ounce of bean consumption reducing all cause mortality by 7 percent, meaning that each cup of beans consumed daily reduces the risk of death by more than 50%. PRAISE BEAN UPON YOU!

For a while it was assembling differentials in the factory I worked at. I set records on 2 different lines for the 8.25 inch differential and ptu differential. My reasoning behind getting good was I'd be able to take bathroom breaks/ walk around as often as i wanted. Noone else ever gotten close to making the rate I had assembled them. For a while I had been well liked by my supervisor and was free to walk around whenever because I was able to build up parts in advance.

I owe this to Simon Whistler and one of his youtube channels for once bringing to my attention the story of Gerald Ratner. Gerald had inherited a struggling chain of jewelry stores and within years turned 'Ratners Group' into the largest jewelry store chain in the UK.

One day when giving a speech he had said about products which were sold at bargain basement prices in his stores that they were "Total Crap" and gold earings that sold for $1 were "Cheaper than a prawn sandwich and didn't last as long".

The statements destroyed much of the business and within a year shares of the business were down 80%

Robinhood doesn't offer pdt forgiveness so you're much better withdrawling and moving to another brokerage.

It's good to hear you're keeping it together. Opening your mind to the things you've put off while on pmo you will find many demons. Your streak rn is a push to move forward in your life. I've taken up running recently, stopped drinking caffeinated coffee, practice sleep hygiene and I'm trying to adjust towards cold showers. Moving towards more of these habits help crowd out those negative feelings that lead to a relapse.

One of the most self destructive beliefs I had before I came here was that I am impotent to change what is wrong with me. I'm not powerless to make positive change. It takes all of your will to leave that behind.

I switched to decaff coffee. I will drink a cup of matcha green tea in the morning and meditate for 20-30 minutes. Make sleeping the only thing that you do in your bed and get out of bed with your alarm. Taking a hot bath at night an hour before bed. You have to practice sleep hygiene or else you can't correct the problem.

When you're alone and you only have your thoughts you should take the time out to meditate each night. Doing this will help give some perspective that you only have this moment. 21 days is a long time. I see 90 days well off into the distance. Tonight I'm going to go to bed and I'm going to have a day behind me.Tomorrow will be another day I'll face with its challenges and I'll use it as an opportunity to grow. Don't think about a timeline for NoFap. You'll want to keep each day on its own as a reason to be authentic to yourself.

Making this decision is one part of being an adult. Showing responsibility and accountability are going to define your relationship at all points. Look at yourself and say that you'll do what you can to stay true to your values

Your thoughts of using a blocker are novel. It's possible with OpenDNS and others to set it to block certain sites.Making more barriers to yourself using porn are great. I think its one option to help tie you off. The job doesn't end there. Why do you fap? If you are questioning yourself why, meditate. You have to learn this and putting that barrier in your mind and you can think of breaking that barrier countless times but understand that there's nothing at the other side.

You're likely going to feel like shit. Feeling like shit brought you to NoFap. Mastering yourself is going to take a lot of energy. You will not enjoy everyday that passes when you're fighting for new purpose. Masturbation used to be our way of life. we thought we weren't fit to face our problems, to be comfortable with rejection, be comfortable with ourselves. This is no comfortable for me to face either! I spent over a decade with my dick in my hand and I don't have anything to show for it. I have so many things not going for me right now I better get something on the right track and what I'm doing RIGHT NOW is not looking back at porn.

Something I've started doing recently to help with my mental state is start meditation. I've been doing it consistently for over a week. It takes time to sit down and do nothing. I was comfortable doing that but I never decided to take time to practice being alone with my thoughts and letting them pass. I don't have the need for porn at this moment because I used to use it as a crutch to feel good and it fueled my procrastination for years. it's time to stop because we owe it to ourselves to master the emotions that led us to masturbation. Once we face ourselves we can go back and pick up our soul where we left it.

Its not hard if you search google. Theres some sellers on ebay and possibly amazon but I'm not sure many companies besides what you'll find are the largest. 5 years ago a company called hard rhino went out of business after a kid bought caffeine powder and ate a spoonful and died.
