How does it fare when it comes to battery usage as well and keeping cool and not hot to the touch?

I don’t think it matters as much if what you do in actuality ends up making a significant difference. What matters is that you did what you could. From the perspectives of future societies, you and I will be blips anyways, so that’s irrelev

How are you using org-mode for this? I have recently switched all my note-taking and task/todo management to org-mode, but I'm still figuring out how to use it properly. At the moment, I just have a personal.org, refile.org and pr

What channels do you frequent that can be used as "social channels" and aren't either a technical QA channel, or a those channels' "free talk" companion that nobody really uses?

As you probably are aware off after having read that study, it doesn't negate the lipotoxicity hypothesis, but merely proposes that it is probably not the only cause and that the role of a decline in muscle mass is perhaps also a key p

I can only recommend that you go and do some research on the difference between whole-food carbs and processed carbs, because that is a very unhealthy (and unscientific) view on probably the single most important nutrient for the human body

That's irrelevant. It's still the fat that causes type 2 diabetes. That doesn't mean keto can't work because it clearly can as long as it doesn't lead to overconsumption of fat. Also there are different kinds of car

I'm intrigued, still the sceptic in me thinks that most victims of type 2 diabetes are probably just victims of the simpler answer, which is occupying a body that has been exposed to too great amounts of fat (from especially oils and o

Lots of people loathe this trend, so yes, I'd say, anything but web apps packaged as platform apps are relevant.

I for one am glad I started using 25 character passwords 3-4 years ago. I just wonder how long it will be before that is not good enough either. Surely in my life time. And what's next? 50 character passwords? One hundred characters? 1

That's irrelevant. It's not a given you actually need to eat "fast-food". Many could do with changing their schedule a bit to eat more home cooked meals, or choosing healthier "fast food chains" than McDonalds.
