--- All-purpose computer experience starting with the Apple IIe. Over a decade of "everything" lateral business experience at bootstrapped and extremely scrappy small company in several roles. Recently focusing in on DevOps/K8s/PETAL stack as technologies, but can't stop a desire to help teams "sharpen the axe", collaborate better and learn+adapt.

An airplane is a car with a big fan.

Language matters quite a bit to those considering contributing. It also provides some context for expectations about performance and reliability thanks to language idioms, features and culture.

Your body has to move calcium ions in and out of (striated) muscles to trigger contractions. This is done through "calcium channels". Mg2+ is an antagonist to the activation of calcium channels.

You need enough calcium to achieve a strong reliable contraction, and enough magnesium to keep the channels "closed" when they should be closed (among very many other physiological uses).

In short, you need a balance of calcium and magnesium for reliable muscle function. A gross excess or lack of either is bad.

Because Magnesium and Calcium are both divalent the primary mechanisms of absorption tend to compete if you take them both together. You'll get higher bio-availability if you separate them in time (e.g. one with breakfast, the other with dinner).

If you're interested in testing a further nutritional approach, I suggest the stack suggested by the late great Charles Poliquin.

I'll bite, since you could be in a really nihilistic or even self-hating space asking an earnest question.

_Being_ a person is inherently valuable, _making more people_ is not necessarily an inherent value. This inherent value is from the internalized perspective of the person doing the existing. The external recognition of this value is in - at minimum - recognition of inalienable human rights, as conveyed by documents such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Perhaps I am unfairly reading your questions above, but notice they seem to carry an implicit (to me) or (to you) at the end of each one. The idea of inalienable rights and corresponding inherent human value is that people do not have justify their worth (to me) or (to you).

This doesn't people can't or shouldn't strive to provide interpersonal, tangible or social goods beyond their inherent human value. It means that the encouraged interpretation of "existential original sin" is "As I develop as a person, I perceive more I could have done or could do better." BUT NOT "I started out worthless and must continually prove my value to person or group X until I earn value."

[Rishi Teas](https://www.rishi-tea.com/) imports a rainbow of top-shelf teas and herbal infusions I really like.

I mostly drink [Jasmine Pearl](https://www.rishi-tea.com/product/jasmine-pearl-green-tea/lo...) or [Matcha Gyokuro](https://www.rishi-tea.com/product/matcha-gyokuro-japanese-gr...). If I want a no-caff drink instead, something based on [Rooibos](https://www.rishi-tea.com/product/ginger-lime-rooibos-organi...) or [Turmeric](https://www.rishi-tea.com/product/turmeric-ginger-organic-ca...).

If you like darker teas, their black, oolong or pu'er teas may be your speed.

I haven't found good alternatives for my use cases, but depending on your needs, you can host Paperworks[1] on Sandstorm[2].

Synology also has a DSM app "Note Station".[3]

It seems like Taleb et al captured the nebulous fears many people have around GMOs fairly rigorously with the "Precautionary Principle"[1]. I see some people attempt to refute that paper with specific evidence of safety for some GMOs, but have not seen a work that deals fundamentally with section "X"; which or how GMOs can be sufficiently "non-global".

I feel like him doing that with a spreadsheet is more impressive than having some kind of photographic social memory.

He cared about people enough to make familiarity and kindness a discipline and habit that he lived. Despite many of our apps, life hacks, and "social medias" we miss the simple insight; social kindness is rooted in just giving enough of a damn to have a discipline for it. Any tool is secondary.

The belief is "yes" but research on the topic is new and unfinished. Dr. D'Agostino specializes in ketogenic nutrition, and discusses exogenous ketones for exactly that purpose in two podcasts[1][2].

Did LFS support ship just for self-hosted? I was searching for a home for a few private repos days ago and #11204 showed LFS as still unsupported for hosted BitBucket.

Round-trip energy efficiency is reported to be > 80% for pumped-hydro energy storage.

Ecological, space, and financial efficiency are more variable.
