  I think I’ve watched things on like five devices at once on my Jellyfin. Never had this issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone explain, calories, carbs, glucose, and gluten?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Calories are energy. More calories equals more energy. Calorie dense foods tend to be kinda bad for you, but not always. “Empty calories” means calories that don’t have any nutritional value, like alcohol and trans fats. The reason things like Splenda don’t have “calories” isn’t because they don’t have energy. They do. It’s because your body can’t digest them, thus can’t take any of that energy. Therefore, metabolically speaking, it has no calories.

  Carbs are carbohydrates, meaning sugars and starches. This is the kind of food your body directly uses as energy. It can’t be broken down into proteins (because it’s not made of proteins) and it can’t be used to digest fat soluble vitamins (because it’s not fat), it can only be used to provide energy. Your body will either use it as energy or turn it into fat. It is one of four major groups of things your body can digest, carbs, fats, proteins, and alcohols. (You need vitamins too, but you don’t really digest them, so they don’t have calories.)

  Glucose is a simple sugar. Unlike starches, your body doesn’t need to break it down to use it. Your cells can directly use it. Great for if you need an energy boost during vigorous exercise.

  Gluten is a protein mostly found in grains. Your body will break it down into amino acids and use it to make the proteins it needs.

  A lot of nutritional advice is over complicated. The best advice I’ve ever heard comes Dr Steven Novella:

  “Eat a varied diet, mostly plants.”

  Another thing is that if you’re talking about weight loss (and only weight loss), the only thing that matters is calories in to calories out. If you are on a calorie deficit (disregarding severe medical conditions), you will lose weight. If you eat at a calorie surplus (again, disregarding medical conditions, like the inability to digest food), you will gain weight. You can lose weight eating nothing but chocolate cake and Cheetos. You will be wildly unhealthy and feel like shit, but you will weigh less.

  For the most part, you don’t need to worry about eating the right things, as long as you aren’t eating the wrong things. (Fast food and snacks are generally bad for you in excess.)

  Bye, Felicia.

  It went through the portal at speed, so it should exit the portal at speed. That’s my take.

  New York, LA, Chicago, and Houston, apparently.

  Ok, cool, so we agree that trans men are real men.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did you guys deal with the death of a parent?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that it’s the same, but I lost my best friend to a fentanyl overdose two and a half years ago. The first year was incredibly hard. There were so many times every day that something would happen and I’d want to talk to him about it. I got pretty depressed for a while. The next year it was a little easier. Those times that I wanted to tell him something were more like once a week instead of once a day. This year it’s been easier. I still miss him like crazy.

  I printed out a wedding photo wall for me and my wife, and since he was my best man, we had a lot of photos of him. I printed some really big ones of him, and they’re displayed prominently on the wall.

  I don’t think I’ll ever stop missing him and wanting to talk to him, but I don’t cry anymore when I think about him. It still hurts, but a lot less.

  I guess that is to say, grief gets easier, but you never stop experiencing it. It gets easier to think about the fun times and laugh instead of cry.

  Without a doubt, this is a scam. The check is fake and they will want you to send them money before it gets found out by the bank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So wise.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  6% of 50

  6/100 * 50/1

  (6 * 50) / (100 * 1)

  (50 * 6) / (100 * 1)

  50/100 * 6/1

  50% of 6

  Works for multiplying any fraction, not just percents.

  2/3 of 5 is the same as 5/3 of 2.

  2/5 of 7/8 is the same as 7/5 of 2/8.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favourite gaming console you have played?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a console in the traditional sense, where it has its own way of making games and has exclusive games, but it’s definitely meant to be a console like experience. In that regard, I would say it’s a non-traditional console.
