If you're experiencing flu symptoms, there are several self-care strategies and remedies you can try to alleviate the discomfort and manage the fever. It's important to note that if your symptoms are severe, persist beyond a week, or you have difficulty breathing, you should seek medical attention. Here are some recommendations based on the provided sources: ### Rest and Hydration - **Get plenty of rest**: Sleep helps your body fight off infection[1]. - **Drink fluids**: Staying hydrated keeps the throat moist and helps prevent dehydration. Warm liquids like broth, caffeine-free tea, or warm water with honey can soothe the throat. Cold treats such as ice pops may also provide relief. Avoid caffeine and alcohol[1][2]. ### Gargle and Humidify - **Saltwater gargle**: Dissolve 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of table salt in 4 to 8 ounces of warm water. Gargle the solution and then spit it out. This can help reduce throat swelling and discomfort[1]. - **Humidify the air**: Use a cool-air humidifier to add moisture to the air, or sit in a steamy bathroom for several minutes[1]. ### Lozenges and Pain Relief - **Lozenges or hard candy**: These can soothe the throat. However, they should not be given to children age 4 and younger due to the choking risk[1]. - **Pain relievers**: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) can ease pain and reduce fever. Remember, never give aspirin to children or teenagers[1][3]. ### Avoid Irritants - **Stay away from cigarette smoke and cleaning products** that can further irritate the throat[1]. ### Alternative Remedies - **Herbal remedies**: Slippery elm, licorice root, and marshmallow root are commonly used to soothe a sore throat. These are often found in teas, sprays, or lozenges. However, check with your doctor before using any herbal remedies, especially if you're taking prescription medications, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding[1]. ### Additional Tips - **Antihistamines**: May help if your sore throat is due to allergies by reducing congestion and post-nasal drip[5]. - **Hot shower**: Breathing in steam from a hot shower can loosen mucus and moisturize the throat[5]. - **Elevate your head while sleeping**: This can help reduce swelling and make breathing easier[5]. Remember, these remedies are intended to provide relief from symptoms. If your sore throat is caused by a bacterial infection, such as streptococcal pharyngitis, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. It's crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed to fully resolve the infection and prevent complications[1]. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, or if you experience severe pain, difficulty breathing, or a high fever, seek medical attention promptly.

Here are some of the best tips for teeth whitening: 1. Use a whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. The best electric toothbrushes for whitening are the Goby brush and the Oral-B 7000[1]. 2. Get a professional tooth whitening treatment. This involves the application of a high concentration of carbamide or hydrogen peroxide onto the teeth[1]. 3. Use custom whitening gel trays. These trays are made and custom-fitted by your dentist based on unique impressions of your teeth[1]. 4. Apply whitening strips[1]. 5. Use baking soda toothpaste. Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove stains from the surface of your teeth[5][7]. 6. Try oil pulling[1]. 7. Practice good oral hygiene[1]. 8. Regular dental checkups are essential[1]. 9. Prevent teeth stains caused by food[1]. 10. Quit smoking & tobacco use[1][3]. 11. Consider getting veneers for a more permanent solution[1]. As for UV light, it's not recommended for teeth whitening. Studies have shown that UV light does not provide long-term effects and may harm oral tissues, create a greater possibility for teeth sensitivity through dehydration, and put patients at risk of high levels of radiation to sensitive areas[2][4][6][8]. The use of UV light for teeth whitening can be four times more dangerous than sunbathing and can cause toothaches, mouth infections, stomach problems, and nerve damage[8]. In-office treatments that use a combination of hydrogen peroxide gel and UV light are considered safe and effective when performed by a professional, but at-home UV light kits are not recommended due to the potential for user error and damage[6][10]. Before starting any teeth-whitening process at home, it's recommended to talk with your dentist to see what they may recommend for your specific goals[7].

The best way to freeze and thaw bread dough for later use is as follows: 1. Make the dough according to the recipe instructions and allow it to prove[1]. 2. Knock the dough back, shape it into rolls or a loaf, and freeze it on a lightly greased baking tray or loaf tin[1]. 3. Once frozen, remove the dough from the tin/tray, wrap it tightly in cling film or seal it in a freezer bag, and date the wrapped dough[1]. Consume the dough within 6 months[1]. 4. When you're ready to use the dough, remove the packaging, place it on an oiled baking tin/tray, and cover it with a damp tea towel[1]. 5. Allow the dough to thaw and rise in a warm environment until it has doubled in size and is light and puffy[1]. 6. Be careful not to overprove the dough. Bake the bread according to your recipe instructions, but you may need to bake it slightly longer (by an additional 10-15 minutes)[1]. Remember to store the dough in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and ensure the best quality when thawing and baking.

If you prefer having many tabs open and want to group or stack them, there are several browsers and extensions that can help you manage your tabs effectively. For browsers, Vivaldi is highly recommended due to its integrated tab management features, such as lazy loading of tabs, hibernating background tabs, and tab stacking. It also allows you to save your open tabs in a session and tile tabs that you need side by side[1][3][9]. Opera is another browser that is known for its advanced inbuilt tabs management features, including a feature known as Opera One workspace, which can handle many tabs without any issues[3]. If you prefer to stick with Firefox, there are several extensions that can enhance your tab management experience: 1. **Workona**: This extension is designed to help you organize your tabs and documents by project. It also auto-saves tabs so you won't lose your work. Workona also offers a tab suspender for Firefox, which allows you to auto-suspend tabs or pause them manually to reduce memory usage[2][7][9]. 2. **Simple Tab Groups**: This extension allows you to create, modify, and quickly change tab groups. It also supports multiple windows and integrates with Firefox Multi-Account Containers[6][8][10]. 3. **Tab Session Manager**: This extension allows you to save and restore the state of windows and tabs. It also supports automatic saving and cloud sync[4]. 4. **Tab Center Redux**: This extension features a vertical listing of your tabs on the left side of your browser window, allowing you to organize your work from there[2]. 5. **OneTab**: This extension 'bookmarks' tabs and saves them in an editable list, which can be useful for clearing tabs to have a fresh browser when working[6]. 6. **Auto Tab Discard**: This extension increases browser speed and reduces memory load when you have numerous open tabs[4]. Remember to choose the browser or extension that best suits your needs and preferences.

[How to Create a Bash Script for Managing Temporary Files with Automatic Archiving and Cleanup?](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/760597/how-to-create-a-bash-script-for-managing-temporary-files-with-automatic-archivin)
Here is a command to create a temporary directory for your user that will hold files for 90 days since their last modification date: ```bash mkdir ~/tmp chmod 700 ~/tmp find ~/tmp -type f -mtime +90 -delete ``` This will: - Create a directory called `~/tmp` owned by your user - Set permissions on it so only you have access - Run `find` daily to delete any files older than 90 days inside the `~/tmp` directory To automate the `find` command, you can add it to your crontab by running: ``` crontab -e ``` And adding: ``` 0 0 * * * find ~/tmp -type f -mtime +90 -delete ``` This will run the `find` command every day at midnight to clean up files older than 90 days in `~/tmp`. The `~/tmp` directory will now persist and hold files for 90 days since their last modification date before being automatically deleted.
To make a bunch of Python functions executable from anywhere in Manjaro Linux, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a directory for your scripts: You can create a directory named `bin` in your home directory by running the following command in the terminal: ``` mkdir ~/bin ``` 2. Add the directory to your PATH: You need to add the `bin` directory to your PATH environment variable so that the shell can find your scripts. You can do this by adding the following line to your shell profile file (e.g., `~/.bashrc`): ``` export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" ``` 3. Make your scripts executable: You need to make your Python scripts executable so that you can run them from the command line. You can do this by adding a shebang line at the beginning of your script and making the script executable using the `chmod` command. For example, if your script is named `myscript.py`, you can add the following shebang line at the beginning of your script: ``` #!/usr/bin/env python ``` Then, you can make the script executable by running the following command in the terminal: ``` chmod +x ~/bin/myscript.py ``` After following these steps, you should be able to run your Python scripts from anywhere in the terminal by simply typing the name of the script (e.g., `myscript.py`) and pressing Enter. The shell will automatically find the script in the `bin` directory and execute it using the Python interpreter.

Here is a step-by-step estimate of the amount of glucose an average male consumes in an hour: 1. Estimate the person's basal metabolic rate (BMR). This is the minimum number of calories needed to sustain vital bodily functions at rest. For a male of average height and weight, the BMR is approximately 1,800 calories per day. 2. Divide the BMR by 24 hours to get the hourly energy expenditure. 1,800 / 24 = 75 calories per hour. 3. Glucose provides about 4 calories per gram. So if all calories came from glucose, the person would use about 18 grams per hour (75 calories / 4 cal/g = 18 g). 4. However, the body uses a mix of nutrients for energy, not just glucose. Glucose may provide around 50% of resting metabolic calories. 5. Therefore, if 50% of the 75 calories per hour are from glucose, that equals 37.5 calories from glucose per hour. 6. With 4 calories per gram of glucose, 37.5 calories equals about 9 grams of glucose consumed per hour (37.5 cal / 4 cal/g = 9 g). In summary, a rough estimate is that an average male at rest consumes approximately 9 grams of glucose per hour to meet 50% of basal metabolic energy requirements. This will vary based on the individual's exact weight, body composition, and metabolic rate.
Hey fellow programmers, I wanted to share a little experiment I've been conducting lately that has significantly improved my workflow. I've started using AI to generate my Git commit messages, and it's been a game-changer! By feeding all the changes I've made into a language model with a large context window (LLM), the AI not only generates a concise commit title but also provides bullet points describing each of the changes in precise detail. The level of detail and informativeness it brings to my commit messages is incredible. I used to spend a considerable amount of time crafting commit messages that accurately captured the essence of the changes I made. Now, with the help of AI, I find myself copy-pasting its generated messages most of the time. It's not just a time-saver; it also ensures that my commits are well-documented and easy to understand for my team members. If you haven't explored using AI for your Git commits, I highly recommend giving it a try. It can significantly boost your productivity and help you maintain clean and informative version control history. Plus, it's a fascinating intersection of AI and software development! Have you experimented with similar AI-powered tools for your programming tasks? I'd love to hear your experiences and any recommendations you might have. Let's discuss the future of AI in programming in the comments!
To use xRDP for a Windows Remote Desktop connection to Manjaro Linux, you need to install and configure xRDP on your Manjaro system. Here are the steps you need to follow: 1. **Enable AUR support**: Manjaro Linux does not support xRDP out of the box. You need to enable AUR (Arch User Repository) support to install xRDP. You can do this by selecting "Add or Remove Software" → Preferences → AUR → Enable AUR support[2]. 2. **Install xrdp & xorgxrdp-git**: Install the latest packages of xrdp and xorgxrdp-git from the AUR[2]. 3. **Configure xrdp**: Enable the xrdp service and xrdp-sesman service using the following commands: ```bash sudo systemctl enable xrdp.service sudo systemctl enable xrdp-sesman.service ``` Then, allow any user to start an X session by adding "allowed_users=anybody" to the /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file: ```bash sudo echo “allowed_users=anybody” >> /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config ``` Next, edit the ~/.xinitrc file. Comment the line `#exec $(get_session "$1")` and add the following line to the end of the file: ```bash exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax startplasma-x11 ``` This command starts the KDE Plasma desktop. If you're using a different desktop environment, you'll need to modify this command accordingly[2]. 4. **Reboot & connect from Windows RDP client**: After making these changes, reboot your Manjaro system. You can then connect to it from your Windows system using the Remote Desktop client[2]. Please note that xRDP does not currently support Network Level Authentication (NLA). If your local RDP client uses NLA, you may need to disable that connection setting[1]. If you encounter any issues, you can troubleshoot by using the `netstat` command on your Linux VM to verify that your VM is listening for RDP connections[1].
