That was a great exercise when I was starting out. Thanks for designing it!

K's are more common on the negative side, however there's nothing stopping you from trying to redefine terms on the affirmative. Of course the counter is to point out topicality but as the article is saying it's really going to start boiling down to who your judges are.

Did you find speed or spread common in Parli? In any circuit I was in you would get dinged on that fast, and it was more of a dead giveaway that a policy debater was trying Parliamentary.

Yes, but you still have to point out that the opposing teams arguments are irrelevant. If you just drop the argument, you will lose points.

(Caveat: I'm speaking as a parliamentary debater, I have extremely limited experience with policy debate. In policy, can you just drop an argument without responding to it at all?)

That's policy/Lincoln Douglas, parliamentary debate is wildly different. From the article it sounds like having prepared topics and critics is starting to seep even into parliamentary debate. :/

That was the big benefit I saw w/parliamentary debate over policy. The lack of prepared topics and arguments helped you learn how to think critically and rapidly under pressure.

(and if you tried speaking at speed like a policy debater, you would lose points)

Wild to read about this shift, and I'm glad this wasn't the meta when I was competing. (Won bronze at nationals for Parliamentary debate)

One of the aspects I loved most about parli was specifically that you weren't going in there with prepared arguments, father would have to think through the implications of a topic on the fly.

I watch them with a 2 second delay on subtitles so I don't read the text before the audio plays.

But if something isn't clear, I can then glance at the subtitles.

Interesting, does this give you a noticeable benefit for text, or does this mostly apply to images or video?

You can also just reprogram the left/right wheel buttons. I personally like the g502/g604. Also I prefer their gaming mice to their office mice, because the gaming mice support on board memory storage rather than needing software to remap the buttons.

How does this compare to an onlykey?

Can you explain this a bit more, I tried googling but I can't quite understand what you mean here by pixel fill factor and how it would differ between the resolutions?

Agreed. I have a number of 4K 144 Hertz monitors, I'd like a 6 or 8K monitor but until they have it in high refresh create I'm not switching. I'm not much of a gamer, but when I do occasionally game it is significantly more fluid as well.

One other hugely useful change has been drinking alkaline water - it immediately stops the burning in the back of my throat, and is useful even if your issues are pepsin based and not just acid reflux. It should be good for dental/esophageal health as well.

I'll check out the hiatal hernia exercises, thanks!

Other possible solutions: d-limone In one unpublished trial, subjects took one gram of d-limonene every other day for 20 days, on an empty stomach (that is, half an hour before eating or an hour afterward). A third of them experienced relief from their heartburn after a single capsule, and within two weeks 90 percent had relief. After a single course of treatment, relief lasted for up to six months.

Licorice The natural solution for ulcers, deglycyrrhizinated licorice root (DGL), can also be an effective acid reflux treatment. The suggested dose of DGL is two tablets, chewed about 20 minutes before meals, three times a day, or it can be taken shortly before bedtime if you suffer mostly from nighttime acid reflux. Use only chewable DGL—it must be mixed with saliva in order to be effective.

IQORO - It's like a pacifier put behind lips and pull.

and then the standard advice of inclining your bed / sleep on your left side.

For sensitivity specifically, check out one that has arginine in it, it blocks the dentin tubules.

There are exercises you can do that help with acid reflux - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9550520/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9106553/

Also alginate based products create a raft that block the acid from physically coming up.

The early time restricted feeding stuff is very interesting, and new to me - but I did learn a lot about it reading this guys blog -https://caloriesproper.com/etrf-2022/

Fyi apagard premio has a 5-6% concentration, you ideally want 10%. That's what's been shown to be most effective in clinical trials, Apagard Royal has 10% but you can find similar concentrations cheaper from other brands.

I found Dr jens super paste with both Floride and 10% nanohydroxypatite, and xylitol but not stannous fluoride.

You can't get high PPM fluoride without getting a prescription unfortunately.

I like Dr jens super paste, it was one of the only ones I was able to find that has the 10% concentration that's been shown most effective in clinical trials. Apagard Royal does too but that's pricier

You want the 10% concentration, studies show that's most effective.

Nanohydroxypatite seems more effective than fluoride. But stannous fluoride looks like it has more overall benefits than sodium fluoride if you want to go to the fluoride route.

Some toothpaste have both, Dr jens for example which does have the 10% concentration shown most effective in clinical trials

Just strip out the tracking use alicord. Or for true native speed ripcord

Single thread performance. My 13900k opens most things instantly, and it's a noticeable difference compared to even a 12900KS

Sounds like you have gerd - caffeine relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter. Stress significantly aggravates GERD.

For burping there's both the physiological and psychological component involved.

There's been a number of studies about various breathing exercises you can do that will reduce this.

There's one where you put your tongue behind your teeth, open your mouth slightly and breathe, trying to emphasize breathing using your diaphragm.

Here's a similar one.

There was also a hacker news article recently about exercises you could do to strengthen those muscles which I'm only starting to try myself.

Seems similar exercise to S"imple exercise to eliminate gastroesophageal reflux" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36059247

How do you know the profiles are fake?

Saw a similar study - dry swallowing but head still below stomach.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9550520/ Will be trying both exercises myself.

I'll second the sodium alginate.

It forms a raft which physically stops the acid from rushing up.

I use life extensions esophageal guardian, which are chewable tablets. (Don't confuse it with esophacool, which is just an anti-acid)

Agreed on preferring my oura vs my eight bed for sleep tracking. Just found out that their web interface gives you a lot more analytic tools than the app, check that out if you have not already.
