Same. Becoming a veteran rider turned me into a much safer, more conservative driver. You start to see all the risks everywhere and plan accordingly.

Really depends on your temperament. My first bike was a DL1000 and I’m still alive 23 riding years later having never done anything worse than some mid speed lowsides. But I didn’t start riding until my late 20s. And with a true superbike maybe it would have turned out different. The DL1000 is a sport tourer and it was plenty fast enough for me without enough power to break the rear loose or throw me if I made small mistakes.
Not saying your advice is bad, it’s not, but everyone is different.

And the reason is health insurance, not the quality of our medical personnel or our technology.
Health insurance is literally killing people. It must be abolished. We will ALL pay less for better care without it.

Same. Pretty sure I own every Bethesda rpg right up through Fallout 4 and Skyrim. I just couldn’t be bothered with Fallout 76 bullshit, and the handful of my friends that played Starfield said it was just sad.
I don’t much care what they release next. It won’t hold a candle to BG3.

Also, that's not what direct contact means when discussing contagion:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7150340/
Ingestion is not 'direct contact'.
CarbonatedPastaSauce 20 hours ago • 100%
Contagious means you can get it from direct or indirect contact with another person or organism that is infected. Not from eating them.
That is not possible with prion disease.
Ingesting a Petri dish full of flu virus doesn’t make the Petri dish ‘contagious’.

Also true if you can afford to eat normal food.
Also true if you're a millionaire in the United States. That's barely enough for a middle class couple to retire on and woe be to you when the medical issues start.
Fuck the greedy bastards.

I think a lot of people have a problem admitting that the consumption of certain things causes harm, which is why they turn it into an all or nothing decision. But I believe in the principle of harm reduction, and not letting perfect be the enemy of ‘better’. Or put in a more positive light, ‘every little bit helps’.

I made this decision a couple years ago. Gave up milk (switched to oat milk), but I still eat cheese and yogurt. I eat probably 20% of the red meat per year that I used to.
You don’t have to be a rabid vegan to make an impact.

I hate that I have to ask this but the internet is awash in garbage these days and I hate sorting through it. Does anyone have a link to a good new player guide for this game? I installed it on Tumbleweed and tried it for a few minutes but had absolutely no clue what was going on. The love everyone has for this game makes me want to give a decent shot though!
I'm so psyched about the Satisfactory 1.0 launch and I just finished Dyson Sphere Project so I'm fidgeting looking for something to do. Don't want to get sucked into a new game, so I thought maybe I could kill the next couple weeks by making a bunch of sweet blueprints in the current release before 1.0 comes out, especially to help speed up the early and mid games which I've played through 3 times now. Does anyone know if they are planning to change anything in 1.0 that would make current blueprints incompatible? Also is there an editor or god mode where I can just sit making blueprints instead of having to farm resources just to play with blueprints? I don't want to start an actual playthrough until 1.0 comes out.
I've just switched over from Windows to Linux for my daily driver in the last few weeks, and after the initial learning curves everything seems pretty solid. The only thing I really, really need for some games is the ability to rebind keys that the game itself doesn't allow. Examples would be Orcs Must Die 1 (no rebinding at all) or Dyson Sphere Program (my current issue) which has the E key hardcoded. I use ESDF for movement so I have to rebind pretty much every game. I had tons of AutoHotKey scripts in Windows but I haven't found anything comparable in Linux. What do you guys use? I've looked at AHK_X11 but every post I saw about it says it doesn't work. I tried Autokey but found it clunky and it didn't work properly in-game (micro-pauses between key repeats). Really just looking for something that can easily rebind a few keys just for a game session. I know I'm going to have to learn xdotool and python for mouse stuff, that's on my to-do list. :) But the vast majority of my games just need rebinding a few keys. Throw your wisdom at me. Thanks!
I found this essay about differing viewpoints on where Homo sapiens is headed to be very interesting.
I've been on Focalin for about 2 months now and I've noticed over the last couple weeks I frequently have a weird internal tremor/vibration sensation inside my entire body when I first wake up. It's a sensation sort of like shivering but very subtle, without any actual physical tremor or muscle movement as far as I can tell. It will continue for several minutes if I just lay in that half-awake state, but as soon as I get out of bed it's gone. I'm wondering if this is related to ADHD medication. It goes away the instant I roll out of bed or sit up, so I'm not super worried about it, just wondered if anyone else had encountered anything similar.
I have been playing my butt off the last couple days since they fixed matchmaking, and having the time of my life. The cheaters are minimal (only seen about 4 in two days that were blatant) and the matches are generally good and relatively close most of the time. This game is like crack to me again! Only thing that's a bit weird is that I get backfilled at over a 2-1 ratio to starting a new match. I noticed that it seemed off today so I started tracking stats, and just this evening I played 15 backfill matches and only 6 that started from the beginning. That can't be happening to everyone. Anyone know what might cause that?
I just started generic Focalin 5 days ago, 5mg once a day. It makes me feel wired, like I've had too much caffeine. I can't tell yet if it's helping with my concentration, and it doesn't hurt my mental state as far as I can tell, but I'm wondering if this physical jittery feeling will fade over time. I can't imagine feeling wired like this every day.
I [posted a couple weeks ago](https://lemmy.world/post/2603632) about an upcoming mental health evaluation that I was anxious about. That evaluation was today. For background, I am a middle aged white guy, previously untreated for any psychiatric condition except a < 2 month stint on SSRI's about two decades ago after a nasty breakup. I was seeking an evaluation for what I thought from my online research might be mild to moderate ADHD symptoms, which were starting to affect my job. I also have suffered from irrational anxiety for a couple years now, but it got really bad over the last year or so. I had tried going through my primary care doctor but, despite being a great GP, they were not helpful with this. I bounced off a few other attempts over several months before finally getting referred to a psychiatrist who specializes in ADHD. I saw them this morning. I utilized the advice I was given and let the psychiatrist know very early in the meeting what my concerns were around rehearsing/masking, and that I was extremely anxious, not about the 'interview', but about the outcome. Mostly how I was very worried that I would appear to 'have it together' to such an extent that they would send me home to live with my issues without any help. This was supposed to be a general mental health eval for about 50 minutes, but the doctor kept me there for about 85 minutes and I walked out with a fresh diagnosis of mild ADHD and three prescriptions. I've been prescribed daily low dose Focalin and a SNRI, along with an anti-anxiety sleep aid that I can take as needed. I had trouble finding a pharmacy that had Focalin in stock but eventually found one and I'm waiting for the prescription to get transferred by the doctor, so I likely won't start that until next week. I don't know what's next, I don't know how these meds will affect me or if they will help at all, but I'm hopeful. I've very nervous about the SNRI because I did NOT like how I felt on SSRIs 20 years ago, but I'm willing to try what the doctor recommended. It feels like a new chapter is about to start, for better or worse. Thanks to all that gave me advice in the other thread. I don't know why I felt like I had to write all this out, but thanks for reading this, too. For everyone out there struggling, please don't give up. It took me almost a year from when I knew I had a problem that needed some attention, until today when I finally saw someone who listened, agreed with my concerns, and took action. Keep trying.
I'm seeing a lot of local communities that have very few or zero posts showing up when I click on them. I noticed this after I posted yesterday and got a few answers to my post, but when I go to that community my post doesn't show up. The sidebar says the community has 80+ posts but I can only see about half a dozen and they are all 1-2 months old. I have checked some other communities that I've seen posts from in my feed in the past, and now they show completely blank, even when looking at Old. What's going on? I'm seeing this in two different browsers (Firefox and Edge). I tried clearing cookies in Firefox, no difference, and I had never used Edge here until I tested it out today, but it shows the same problem.
I've been experiencing an increase in severity of my psychological issues over the past few months that led me to make an appointment with a psychiatrist for a general mental health evaluation and potential ADHD testing after that depending on what they find. I'm anxious (one of my problems) about appearing so normal that I won't get help, because I've become really good at faking being ok for decades now. I doubt anyone that knows me personally knows that anything is wrong. Does anyone have experience with this in terms of being diagnosed? I'm just worried I'm going to spend all this money and time and they'll say I don't need any help and I'm right back where I started.
I’ve been using OPNsense for a little over a year now, after migrating from PFsense which I used for many years. I really love it, it’s incredibly powerful and yet easy to use once you wrap your head around things. And the interface is much cleaner than PFsense ever was. I have a fairly complex setup with several vlans and different outbound routing for different hosts, client vpn (outbound) and server vpn (inbound). I’m no network guru but I’m happy to help with any questions to the best of my ability. More people should be using this!
I run a pretty locked down Firefox browser and I noticed when browsing lemmy.world that the browser wants to pull stuff from a long list of other instances, which fails because they aren't trusted. Is this normal? I thought an instance would collect the things you are subscribed to and store them locally so that you didn't have to go talk to 20 different servers. Not true?
After spending all day setting up Bitwarden I ran into a roadblock getting the iOS app to work with it. I get an SSL error because my cert doesn't have the EKU value they want. I use OPNsense for my CA, and it doesn't have the ability to generate this value on a cert as far as I can tell. I really don't want to stand up another CA just to get this one app working. It's the only thing I've found a hard block on with using my internal CA in all my years of homelabbing. The hilarious thing is that Safari on the same device will connect to my Bitwarden website with no issue - it thinks the cert is fine. Way to go, Apple. This is mostly just a rant against Apple, but it would be nice if Bitwarden could bypass this by allowing you to trust your own cert inside the iOS app so you're not beholden to Apple's stupid requirements.
