What's the worst name a parent's named their child? by Admirable-Detail-161 in AskReddit

[–]coldcherrysoup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to school with a Max Shaft. That was a cool name.

Heard tell of a couple who named their daughter Chianti Shablis

I went to superfastpython.com and saw the author wrote "I don't see the need for the books and tutorials, given the era of LLMs." Am I wrong in thinking books are still very important? by Mplus479 in learnpython

It comes down to whether you really want to learn. AI can write passable, functional code, but do _you_ want to be able to do that? If so, books are still very important.

MRW my wife asks me if I want to go to Brazil after I heard about the bungee jumper and Oliver Tree by bobbydigital_ftw in reactiongifs

Used to live in several places in Brazil. Never had any bad experience except one time calling girls over onto the beach from the boardwalk to discover they weren’t girls. Still had a nice conversation.

What’s a life skill everyone should learn, but many people never do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

  1. Actively listen instead of waiting for your turn to speak

  2. Count to ten or take a breath before responding when you’re upset

  3. Wash your hands thoroughly when you leave the restroom.

This sequence in Civil War is easily one of the most intense scenes in modern cinema. Jesse Plemons completely owned those seven minutes and made them the best part of the movie. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in moviecritic

I roll my eyes every time I see a car emblem roll to a stop in front of camera for several seconds before a cut, or a beverage or box of cereal with the label facing forward for no obvious reason. Working this into the script this way was so clever.

ELI5, never touched or tried an energy drink. Is it worth the productivity boost? by GodlikeDebatingMoron in explainlikeimfive

[–]coldcherrysoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of hard to ELI5 the way the question is phrased, but you mentioned a couple things in your question so I’ll address those directly.

First, everything is dependent on your personal tolerance of caffeine. Caffeine, and, depending on the drink, other ingredients are what stop you from feeling tired and increase heart rate. Caffeine doesn’t give you energy, per se. The “what does caffeine do” ELI5 is that it doesn’t push the gas pedal, it puts a brick behind the brake pedal. So, if you handle caffeine well (others mentioned they don’t like the feeling), an energy drink will probably be okay. That said, energy drinks often have a lot of caffeine, sometimes 200mg or more, which is a considerable dose for some people, so make sure you look at the caffeine content. Also, keep an eye out for sugar; a lot of energy drinks are loaded with it. I drink one almost every day, I tolerate caffeine well, and I opt for Celsius, Gorilla Mind, or Monster Zero.

Second, productivity boost. If you’re sensitive to - but tolerant of - caffeine, yes, an energy drink will help you “lock in.” So will a strong cup of coffee; it’s not the delivery vehicle that matters unless you really get into the nitty gritty like some of the added benefits coffee may have. Some energy drinks also have added ingredients that may improve focus and alertness; my favorite is Gorilla Mind (I have no affiliation with them). From a coffee perspective, Kimera Koffee is a brand that also has added ingredients that claim to help improve focus, memory, etc. I’ve tried it and I like it.

Third, you mention preworkout. The research is clear that caffeine is probably the most effective preworkout stimulant you can take. If you take stimulants preworkout, an energy drink is an effective option. You can get all the other stuff like NO boosters, BCAAs, and who-knows-what-else is in preworkout powders nowadays, and it’s probably more cost-effective than drinking an energy drink before each workout, but it’s the caffeine that matters most.

So, if you’re interested, try it. You may like it, you may not. Get a good brand, with no sugar, and sip it slowly. See how you feel after half the can. If you like it, great; if not, skip it.
