Actually it appears to be the carbonation that increases hunger, thus even sparkling water can do that. Below is just one study but there are several.

Not artificial sweeteners in general... specifically sucralose was tested. Numerous studies have shown it produces an insulin response.

Also, there are a variety of natural alternative sweeteners available now that don't produce an insulin response and have low or no calories, such as stevia, monk fruit extract and allulose. Erithritol as well, though it may have a few drawbacks.

Same first hard drive I bought! Crazy we both remembered the model number too. Got mine in 1990 so not $800 I don't believe, but regardless it was all I could afford after buying the 8087 math coprocessor too!

That used to be true but no longer. For anything but gaming Apple's M series chips are amazing.

I'm a 30+ year Windows and Linux user and developer that preferred machines I could build myself. A few years ago switched jobs and was given an M1 Pro for work... it's incredible how good, fast and low power the M series are. I've used my laptop 8 hours straight without plugging it in. That's simply not doable with any other machine.

I still dislike their walled garden, and for high end gaming Apple's a no-go, but for most things it's hard to argue with how good they are. The machines may come at a premium, but they are high quality, work great and for battery use they don't have a rival.

In theory the unique id produced by the scan could be salted by you, uniquely for each website or application, and then provided to the site. This would keep aggregators from being able to track all your activity, or at least it would if they didn't already have fingerprinting techniques that do it without the need of another unique identifier.

Problem is they aren't required to prove it to you - some witness - unless it's your child that's involved, and they can take their sweet time providing proof to the person being detained as well, waiting until they've already thrown you to the ground and cuffed you.

A face can be seen, recognized and recorded from a distance. Video doesn't usually do any good with badges and other identification but cops and criminals both - or one and the same - risk being identified if they don't have masks.

I too was constantly accused of cheating throughout my first marriage. Not for any reason other than her suspicions... it was exhausting! She also took offense to the fact that I'm not the jealous type. Some dude would hit on her and she'd be upset it didn't make me mad. I'd respond "Are you interested?" "Well no!" "Then why should I be worried or upset. I trust you." It took me far too long to realize she suspected me because she knew she'd cheat on me if the situation were reversed and she figured everyone was like her.

During our divorce our court-ordered psychiatrist said he believed she suffered from some psychosis but would need more time to properly diagnose it. Since then I've come to realize her behavior is well-described as a vulnerable narcissist, and combined with her alcoholism and paranoia she destroyed just about every relationship she had before she died. It was a very sad and lonely end... I wish she'd have gotten help.

Dude I'm glad you're in a better place. Our lives have very strange parallels. I was with my crazy ex from 17-32, she also falsely accused me of raping and beating her, telling our friends, family, my coworkers and neighbors - I even got a night in jail, but thankfully recorded conversations of us talking about her bruises and her saying she'd falsely accuse me - and I dealt with her craziness and fought for our marriage for years only to find she was cheating on me. When I found out and threw in the towel she went completely unhinged, especially when I got involved with another woman. My ex also died not long after we divorced.

I've now been with my wife much longer than my first and it's been nothing but wonderful. I did not let my experience with my ex change my outlook on marriage and relationships... I don't want to be with anyone that doesn't want to be with me, and I'm convinced anyone cheating is going to screw up and get caught so there's no need to be suspicious and go looking... it'll reveal itself in time, and if so, I'll say goodbye. Unwarranted distrust does great harm and it seems to be projecting with most people. Trusting each other and loving each other's company is the mainstay of a great relationship and I'm so thankful I went from a nightmare marriage to what's really an unrealistic movie romance. I didn't really think such an amazing relationship was possible.

Glad to hear you're in a much better place and relationship. A past of bad experiences should make you be more careful who you get involved with but if you use it to build walls around yourself, you hurt your relationships. Love with your all and don't live in fear of betrayal. It's the only way a relationship can become what your heart longs for.

It would only delay things. When you get a state tax refund, the next year it's counted as federal wages.

I mean it wasn't random. They came here, no one was present and they claimed it. And many were ok with sharing a bit when Europeans first arrived. The Europeans were the ones consistently ignoring their right of ownership and their right to exist.

Your immuno-compromised kid or spouse - who can't get a vaccine - may die as a result too.

This isn't a discussion about where the virus comes from, and debating its source is entirely different than debating the science of effective treatment and vaccines. Promoting unproven horse ointments while speaking lies about proven treatments kills people.

Even if their kids die as a result?

Is the hypothesis that Windows being constantly broken forces you to learn how to fix it ? Because that’s kinda what happened to me 😆

I'd add that PCs also had great gaming, which also encourages upgrading, and PCs have always offered more options for upgrading. You learn a lot and can break a lot doing that, both of which add to the experience.

I'd put it in the lawful category. 4 space indentation and other strict formatting requirements chaffs me to no end, just like a hard-ass teacher requiring name and student number in some specific and strict format at the top of a page.

Investors are the problem?

I for one like stability when my money is involved, and most people do. Most arent looking for the roulette wheel experience. When you have an idiot wielding tremendous power to throw out trade agreements and to inadvertently or intentionally tank certain businesses and industries because they're significantly affected by tariffs, and from one day to the next they're added, removed, added again, increased, now decreased... that's not a place you want your money. And the government's where those businesses reside aren't stable either as their future taxes and revenue streams are hard to predict, so their bonds are dicey.

So what do you think investors should do? So what are you doing? Just crossing your fingers and rolling the dice? Got any major purchases coming up? Hoping to retire soon? If you lost your job how secure you feeling about getting another right now? Maybe invest in $TRUMP... I'm sure that will carry you.

Time Machine is just backup software isn't it? It's not doing an involuntary index of all your activity and content you interact with, right?

I knew there was a reason I love 'em so much!

I don't doubt the possibility but that's not the situation here and now with defending Ukraine.
