Planar Magnetic headphones. Can’t go back.

Not as far as I’m aware.

There is the GFCI in the switch box, but yeah, both gfci+grounded would be preferable.

You’d think so, but the ground will either be at the bottom of the outlet, requiring a separate cable, or Type-B.

Yup. Japan also has grounded outlets, though, although they are comparatively rarer.

Some surely know, they just don’t care.

The trick must surely lie in the preparation. We aren’t Neanderthals and cook our food, and I’m sure we can find a way to make maggots or other insect larvae appetizing. As you mentioned, they are highly nutritious.

Assuming 7 grams of protein per ounce of beef, you’d need roughly 1.21 kgs of beef for a 75kg Neanderthal.

4g per kg of body weight is still a tremendous amount of meat.

TIL

The phrase Japanese First was meant to express rebuilding Japanese people’s livelihoods by resisting globalism.

This isn’t such a bad thing, by itself. For one, Japan’s entirely beholden to the American tech giants for its tech sector and really should start its own buildout.

I wonder how many patients also have Helicobacter pylori?

This is why it is critical to contain memetic hazards. Has the Foundation taught us nothing?

Would you know why they over-eat? It’s not mentioned in the article.

Basically SEO?

Thank you for that colourfully described nugget of information. Username checks out…

Personal gripe but I’ve never agreed with the term artificial sweetener, they are genuinely sweet, is it because they aren’t sucrose/fructose/glucose?

Either way I remember reading about Erythritol from a study on nature.com a while ago. It’s one of the unfortunate low-caloric sweeteners that are still linked to obesity and all the problems related to that condition. Best avoided to be on the safe side.

Hard to do that when you’re hungry. Blaming the victim increases shame/guilt/stress and makes it worse, since that causes hormone production that result in weight gain. Working on a sustainable way to lose weight such as by reducing known obesogens is much more constructive.

I haven’t any idea how they’d work with your hearing, but what about bone conduction headphones? They can be wiped down easily and are often waterproof.
