  • Does cooking meat make you lose your appetite?

    Jump

  • Nope. I'm fine hunting, butchering, preparing and cooking my food. Yum.

    That said, I do respect the vegan position and I work hard on getting a family into flexitarianism and reduced meat consumption.

    I also strongly support ethical farm practices that give animals a high quality, if short life and a painless wink to the other side. Prices be damned. Just makes it easier to go more meatless.

  • People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.

  • Fun fact time because I'm that guy.

    Coke and meth are similar in that they both activate stimulate Dopamine (reward, motivation), Norepinephrine (arousal, alertness) Serotonin (mood, modulation).

    However they do it in very different ways:

    Cocaine blocks neurotransmitter reuptake from the outside, it stops the neurotransmitter from being released from the synapse causing the area to flood and the synapse to fire more strongly, but still tied to normal stimulation. I.e. your body still produces the transmitter based on normal stimuli, coke just keeps it there longer, stretching the existing signal.

    Methamphetamine drives release from the inside. It pushes dopamine out and into the synapse, and has some reuptake inhibition that combines drive the synapses far harder than normal. In contrast to coke, it doesn't stretch existing signals from physiological stimuli, it makes signals regardless of what's going on.

    In short, coke blocks the sink's drain. Meth turns on the tap and sorta plugs the drain. Slight advantage to meth here for ADHD. CNS depression that underlies it responds better to meth because the taps don't open enough to begin with. Normal psysiological stimuli isn't enough.

    Both in theory could treat ADHD, but meth wins by a longshot because of the speed and stability of its pharmacokinetics. Coke is in and out too fast to give the user the therapeutic window of relief without causing spikes that trigger negatives like addiction or heart problems. Meth is slower and longer lasting. 20-60 mins for coke, ~4 hours for meth. Leveraging extended release (er) formulations pushes meths already superior action (turn on tap) into a daily therapeutic window, while coke is still just behaving like a party drug.

  • I can't tell if this is a shitpost or not. (Intentional or otherwise).

    The Nature vs. Nurture is poorly phrased.

    We have: (a small selection)

    • genetics
    • epigenetics
    • physical environment
    • emotional environment
    • information environment
    • social environment

    All shaping us at the same time. So yes, if you would go back in time and be the same genetic you, but like adopted at birth somewhere else, you would still be you genetically, but everything else would be different.

    Maybe better, maybe worse. Even if life brought you down some bad backroads, you never know. Maybe this is the multiverse that takes you to where you really want to be. Your best self. We'll see.

  • Just going to semi-counter argument so this doesn't feel like a circle jerk.

    Analytics are there to help you refine you user flow paths and even refine verbiage to make the whole experience frictionless. With a GDPR style consent banner and a limited and deliberate analytics package you can better fine tune things. Even changing a single word in A/B testing can show results for you and your users. The goal is to make the entire experience as frictionless as possible. Not evil. Just serving the win-win.

    Now to step back for a little perspective to counter my counter. Web properties are very mature these days and we all follow the selected patterns that are time tested. It's not like the early days when we were trying this all out new and "clunky" was the best description. Unless your site is doing something unconventional on purpose with fundamentals like navigation, it's probably not a big deal.

    Edit: most companies drop in extensive premium analytics. Then once they know the newly deployed site is good, everyone forgets except for make work reporting to execs.
