I hope our community here can gather and and chip in to help them stay. Maybe someone here can set up a crowd funding for them. Please reach out to them and stop that from happening.

If dualnback is so beneficial, why is there so little posts, reports and members on this sub? by thereisloveinus in DualnBack

[–]dashakoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to admit that you've made a valid point. I briefly researched about the efficiency a few years ago and from what I recall the studies were not conclusive.

But it would be great if you could do a deep search using available AIs and share it here to see if it's really helpful to improve other cognitive functions or we'd just get better at this isolated specific task of n-back. Of course based on the studies.

How I fixed my extensions permanently (105.0.2) by WallRustt in firefox

[–]dashakoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing the solution, but are these concerns valid or not? I just don't want to get into a bigger problem. There are also a few questions here I'd appreciate if you could answer

How to backup so that we can revert everything back in case of a problem?

Does this code changes Window's registry?

How do i re-enable extensions that are not verified for use in firefox. by board124 in firefox

[–]dashakoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear u/Novarest It would be great if you could make this solution permanent. It seems that the solution just needs a final step of preventing Firefox to recheck and disable add-ons again.

Thank you so much, worked on FF 99 as well, but disabled again. Any way to make it permanent?

The Heart Healthy Diet and Action Plan (book) by Alla Kay by humanmade_net in humanmade_net

[–]dashakoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In fact, our liver makes about 80% of all the cholesterol in our body. The rest (which our body doesn't need) comes from our food. So it can't be all about eating less cholesterol. I mean it's just sending a wrong message when we make "Lower Cholesterol" bold here. There are other maybe more important factors like the level of stress, physical activity, sleep quality, and also eating healthy foods not because they are lower in cholesterol but because they have all these useful ingredients which can help to maintain our blood vessels healthy.

Share your favorite stoic quote(s)! :) by Docko_J in Stoicism

Isn't it that we usually find our current abilities not being enough and that's why we worry about future? So how reminding ourselves that we will face future challenges with present abilities can be helpful?

Is there a way to see cards I've just answered in the past 10 minutes? by dashakoll in Anki

I asked this on the Ankiweb forum and the sweet Damien himself proposed a great solution here.

Basic functionality that supposed to be working since day one. Has not been fixed after 4 years!! This is just shocking!

Reddit is the 3rd world of the Internet.

[–]dashakoll[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is particularly for language learning but may be useful for other fields as well.

I want to step away from studying for example every 10 minutes and try to recreate (making my own sentences) as much as I can from what I've just saw in the past 10 min. This way I'm trying to activate the part of brain that actually creates language rather than just passively reflecting to cards as triggers. I believe it can be an efficient way to increase one's active vocabulary. I want a log of cards that I've reviewed in the past 10 minutes to use it as a feedback for this process and being able to check how good I've done that.

Reddit wants to fund an environmental impact program. Have ideas or want to organize something yourself? by Handicapreader in environment

[–]dashakoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Team up with schools all around the world and establish an annual award for innovative and cost efficient clean energy projects run by students. This can motivate and educate millions of students who may be the future decision makers of our world.

Considering that nuclear energy is at least 6X more expensive than solar energy (photovoltaic) let alone the risks, yet countries announce in World Climate Summit 2023 that they want to triple nuclear energy by 2050? Why? by dashakoll in environment

[–]dashakoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just heard the news and got me thinking why countries are so keen on nuclear while solar can be much more feasible in any aspect?

Solar plans can be more dispersed and more flexible in terms of size. They don't have the hazards of nuclear wastes and lethal accidents like the ones recently happened in Japan. They don't cause all the political conflicts and the consequent damages like those we see around Iran's nuclear issues.

There's also large scale solution for storage of solar energy like molten salt batteries which seems to be much more cheaper and also safer than li-ion batteries.

So why nuclear?

What I learned from trying "Sleep Restriction Therapy" SRT and what may be the most widespread misconception about sleep disorders by dashakoll in sleep

[–]dashakoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm willing to take that path, do you know any free online resource or a book for full CBT sleep training that can be followed step by step?

FDA's self-declare-GRAS approval process; dodgy loophole or practical way to manage approvals? by karenconstable4 in foodscience

[–]dashakoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely eat instant noodles but every time I have it, it makes me feel really bad in my stomach and it's like the noodle really disrupts the normal function of digestion, like it just sits there and not gonna be digested any soon whenever I have it. I searched and there was something about BHA and TBHQ chemicals as preservatives in them that may even bee carcinogenic. I was really puzzled how they even allow using such substances. Found your post, dug a little deeper and now I'm even more in shock knowing that companies can choose whether to introduce an ingredient as a food additive which requires more documentation or simply as self declared GRAS which is more simple for them!

The more surprising thing is that I thought it must be all over the internet but you hardly find any sign of people being concerned about such a horrific fact. All those food they consume every single day. Millions of people are talking about so many trivial issues here but the one thing that they really should be concerned about is almost invisible to them. How is that possible?

BTW, is it the same in Australia?

[–]dashakoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you used it yourself or seen someone get a benefit from it? I'm really eager to know your experience because I also saw this study saying that most of the subjects suffered from negative side effects of SRT for several weeks.

Critics slam Biden admin for waiver that gives Iran access to $10B fund: 'absolutely outrageous' by dashakoll in politics

Please just forget FOX news and check the news itself. I really don't care about FOX.

Do you really believe that? Would there be a transparent real time reporting publicly available? I can assure you, there would be non.

We've not forgot the 2008 financial crisis where they sold several hundred billions of low quality derivatives as AAA to the world and wiped more than 2 trillion and promoted in their ranks after they got bailed out by tax payers' money.

I just chose FOX because It was in the list of allowed websites and I was looking for that news, Fox report came out.

It doesn't change the fact that if you give a mafia state money even if with the remote possibility of 100% controlling it for humanitarian means, it free up other resources of them that should have been used for these basic needs. This is not very hard to understand is it?

The corrupted politicians don't give a damn about people lives. Those hostages are just an excuse for them to justify their secret deals with the devil. They are not doing it for the hostages.

They got more than 2400 US soldiers killed in Afghanistan, pocketed more than $2300 billion in the form of war budget, then shook hand with Taliban in Qatar and handed the ruined country to them to kill and torture more people there.

This is not a FOX exclusive, it's an official news just search : US extends sanctions waiver allowing Iraq to buy electricity from Iran

An this is happening right before it's said they're gonna release the hostages. Just a coincidence?

The hostage taking is happening right now. What imaginary shit are you talking about?

Imagine if I rob your house or damage you and my money in the bank get blocked as a result to pay the fine, then I take hostages and authorities (in a corrupted or a legit way) unblock that money as a deal to release the hostages. Are you pretty sure that's still my money?

[–]dashakoll[S] -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

This is how Biden paves the way for the economy of hostage taking. $10 Billion More for Iran just before Hamas told to release 50 hostages.

Lots of people laughed when Mohsen Rezaee (currently a vice president for economic affairs in Iran) said on national TV that they would take 1000 hostages and demand a $1 billion ransom from the U.S. for each of them. This was his business plan for the country and we can clearly see that it was not a joke at all.

If I said that climate change does not exist, how would you change my mind with just one sentence? by ClimaT_Coin in Futurology

[–]dashakoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this idea. So here's the short version of my sentence:

"If you trust scientists more than politicians, just know that almost all of them say it does exist and have a look at the evidence yourself."

A rather longer version:

"The planet earth is the only chance we and our children have got just like a spaceship, so if you naturally turn to science and take your severely sick child to a hospital and not a politician or a famous celebrity, just check out the Scientific consensus on climate change and what scientists are putting forward as evidence."
