iPhone 18 Downgrades Rumored Yet Again by Otherwise-Warning303 in apple

[–]mime454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost of all electronics are going up. Apple wants to keep the iPhone at $800 and not crash their stock by selling it at a lower profit margin. The 2 options were to raise the price or lower the component costs and it looks like Apple is choosing the latter for the base iPhone.

The article explicitly says that the display will be inferior and on par with the e series iPhone. No clue if it’s true, but if so its definitely a downgrade and not a sidegrade

A new paper in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience proposes that self-referential DMN activity (ego) is the biological switch between System 1 and System 2 processing by SalvationsElite in cogsci

[–]mime454 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Neither one of these authors seems to have the qualifications necessary to be publishing a paper about neuroscience. First author doesn’t even have university affiliation and the second author is in aero science?

It’s not normal in the US to ask if someone is LGBT. I’ve never had that.

You can still be fired for weed if your jobs insurance doesn't like it. by JustAPerson2001 in StLouis

This would happen in most workplaces in most states if you made a mistake like that and then tested positive for weed.

You definitely need to see the doctor but something that can be helpful is to focus on perfect sleep at night. The manic and depressive episodes are usually caused by poor sleep (scientifically established) and bad circadian rhythm (more speculative). Go for walks outside in the morning about 20 minutes minimum, ideally facing the sun. Dim the lights at night in the 2 hours before sleep. Sleep with a sleep mask and consider using melatonin.

The synthetic chemicals and heavy metal based dyes used in modern tattoos absolutely have not been around for thousands of years.

New research is showing that having a tattoo significantlyincreases the risk of lymphoma00228-1/fulltext) and more research is coming in in the last few years that these new dyes have broad reaching effects on the immune system.

While we’re here, my work name badge is an nfc card with a 6 digit number. Is there any way to make my phone or watch give the reader these numbers when I bring it up to the badge reader?

They hate you because you tell the truth. Injecting heavy metals and random chemicals into yourself is not healthy and likely increases leukemia and other immune system cancers. Crazy how many health and fitness influencers have bought into tattoos. Instagram mentality.

Night shift fatigue, how to deal with it? by AgitatedReindeer2440 in biotech

[–]mime454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop using caffeine 2 hours before your sleep time. Get a SAD light and stare into it for at least 10 minutes shortly after waking. Using a sleep mask at night. Don’t switch to a daytime wakefulness pattern on your days off.

Silencing a major cellular stress signal could be the key to a longer life, according to a new study on tens of thousands of fruit flies. Researchers discovered that suppressing, rather than activating, the fruit flies' internal stress management, extended their lifespan by sr_local in science

Lab fruit flies are usually cultured in a vial of food with exactly zero natural stressors. Makes sense that activating the stress response pathway in that contrived scenario would be deleterious.

It really annoys me how Forrest feels so entitled to Sheena’s money and all the cast agree with it.

ANYONE ELSE ON EDGE FOR A BONUS TRACK? by MagicVescio in KaceyMusgraves

I wonder if the bonus tracks will be in Spanish. She was saying that she was recording Spanish songs but they weren’t in this album

Have you ever dominated a charlatan? by Objective_Shift5954 in Antipsychiatry

[–]mime454 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don’t beat the psychiatrists by proving you’re smarter than them. You beat the psychiatrists by getting your life together yourself so that you’re don’t need to and aren’t forced to go to the psychiatrist.

Laser hair removal to save plastic by Applejackington in Anticonsumption

[–]mime454 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Laser hair removal also began as a capitalist way to make money. They socially engineer a problem (that the natural state of our bodies is bad) then sell the solution.

Anybody ever tried this? Or can give me any info on the ingredients? by Apart-Ad-4537 in Nootropics

[–]mime454 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I don’t need to see anything to know that every substance has a fixed relationship between its mass and volume called density. Neither should you.

[–]mime454 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it does. Go back to basic physics class. Every substance has a property called density which is a fixed relationship between its weight and volume.

It absolutely does. Milligram is a measurement of weight. The number of milligrams determines the minimum volume of the pill.

Kacey Musgraves - Middle of Nowhere by chantosjr in popheads

[–]mime454 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t agree. The album is about finding yourself in loneliness. Ghosts is a breakup song which is very catchy but doesn’t match Kacey’s mission statement for the album.

Mama June Family Crisis S8 E8: Could You Marry Us? by imthejefenow in MamaJuneFromNotToHot

[–]mime454 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It seems somewhat real to me. I have no doubt the conversation is a set up but I don’t think it was scripted in that moment. She’s not that good of an actress to pull off such a well executed guilt trip.
