Many people go straight to recommending potassium, but magnesium is key for helping muscle contractions. Fortunately bananas are also rich in magnesium as well as potassium, so they may be helpful for more than one reason.

I hit a deer last year after twenty years of uneventful driving. It was on a highway known for drunk drivers so I was hyper aware and my reaction couldn’t have been any faster, but those animals are so insanely fast. I had to go to therapy for that shit.
Exactly. And don’t let embarrassment stop you from discussing this with your doctor, and don’t underplay your symptoms. I had years of symptoms before they got bad enough for me to be honest with my doctor, and once I was, he scheduled me for a colonoscopy immediately. There was a 1.5” tumour. I was in my 30s and cancer never crossed my mind.
I don’t think those people would use the term “regressive,” because that term has inherent negative connotations. Their goal isn’t so much to “regress” as it is to “conserve” - maintain the values and power structures of the past. What a progressive would call progress, they would see as a decline. What they’re losing by ceding LGBTQ+ rights is more subtle than losing their own rights - they’re losing (or think they’re losing) status, privilege, moral authority. Their position in the social hierarchy drops if there are fewer people to look down on.
I redid my prompt with “Canadian” so all the pennies wouldn’t look American. The AI really shines through here, but I love it!

The batteries prioritize keeping themselves warm. I’ve driven my Tesla down to -40. The range is decreased and phantom drain is increased, but it always starts at the end of the day, even when ICE cars all over my work parking lot don’t. I suppose it could be an issue for someone who isn’t mindful of the charge levels or who doesn’t have access to daily charging.
I’ve never had someone on a bicycle roll coal at me.
I don’t think it’s fair to outweigh the contributions of the founders and engineers behind Tesla with one douche with a megaphone and too much money. There is undoubtedly just as much malice in other car companies, but they have the sense to keep it quiet.
Admittedly a scathing burn, but in my experience not at all the same. I have had so many printers with connection issues, overpriced ink that dries up, and constant mechanical jams that I’ve sworn off ever owning a printer again and made my department paperless. But all I had to do for my Tesla is connect it to wifi, and every few weeks a no-hassle software update delivers some useful new features. I’ve never met a printer that improved with time.
The settings are a series of planets which were each seeded by ancient aliens with prehistoric humans and a handful of Earth species that complemented the environment, like little terrariums. For this underground rogue planet, the species included bats and moths for pollination and fertilization, and yams for the volcanic soil.
Here, a visiting doctor from a sunny planet is driven to hide in the caves, a pariah because of her lack of night vision and sun-adapted features. Clouds of bats and moths in a dim moist cave lit by fairy tail glowing berries seemed like an interesting place to bring alive with AI!
Here’s a mini cave ecosystem that I imagined for a sci-fi story. Not quite everything turned out but I like the style of this one:
Bing Prompt: A dark underground cavern in igneous rock. There are bats hanging from the ceiling, with bat guano on the ground. A small cloud of moths rises from the ground. Small, low bushes send roots through the floor of the cave, and grow luminescent berries that light the cave with a pale glow. A woman doctor with messy brown hair sits on the floor with her head in her hands. photorealistic style
Yeah, I think this “advice” is context dependent, such as for dealing with toxic family or employers or during an existential crisis. I’m obligated to be, at the very least, “good enough” for the children I bring into the world. And I strive to be good to and for the people around me, because I prefer to be around people who would do the same for me. “Fuck ‘em” as an attitude at a societal level will make the world mediocre.
