My answer to "What's the best way to detox from heavy metals?" on Quora

Cleaning it out won't repair any permanent damage. Still, fairly safe, easy, and cheap, so I tried. My gut inflammation has healed, but I did many other changes in the same time.

I still end up on Quora too much. It was a great place to learn until about 2018 when the investors really started making decisions, taking Quora away from the mission towards ad revenue at any cost to the community. The enshittification hasn't damaged it to the level of Yahoo Answers yet, but there's nothing to stop the slide.

My ability to shape my feed took the biggest big hit when they dumped the topic ontology 2023 and went with bots all the way. You used to able to follow extremely specific topics and tag questions with them so that your feed was all gold. No more - my feed is full of "viral" now.

How Quora Died - by Nitish Pahwa on Slate.com

I guess you had accumulated enough environmental toxins by then:

How could they know how downvotes are supposed to be used if there's no beginners' course that explains how?

When someone uses downvotes against the rules, their downvotes should be devalued.

Default language for my comments so that I don't have to scroll down to "English" 99% of the time.

Fjällräven Konten 17 liter backpack for 16 inch laptop computer.

Good:

• Minimalist appearance.
• Quickly and easily adjustable shoulder straps with detachable chest strap.
• Soft, padded shoulder straps and back wall.
• Semi-hard exterior, same shape empty or full.
• When empty, stands upright for loading groceries that can't be tilted.
• Hatch stays open without holding.
• Carry handle on top. Always vertical.
• Zippered pocket inside. (Should have more.)
• Many pockets of various sizes inside. Three pen pockets high up in the safest corner.
• Two stretchy pockets outside.
• Retroreflector for traffic safety.

Bad:

• Discontinued - no idea why.
• Not raintight, but close.
• Mediocre ventilation --> sweaty back.
• Outside pockets not stretchy enough for a 0.5 liter bottle.

I'd like a feed where I can't see something again that I already scrolled past = saw.

“Suggest edits” that Quora had. Suggesting edits allowed the crowd to make all sorts of improvements to answers.

On Quora there was "suggest edits" - we need it everywhere. Commenting is an ugly way to correct grammar. Suggesting edits allowed all sorts of improvements impossible to explain in a comment. Then the visionaries got fired and Quora went to shit.

Funny hats were made with mercury that makes you crazy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_as_a_hatter

"[Susan Sontag] was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction." https://inthesetimes.com/article/susan-sontag-and-arthur-miller

Literally, tyrosine and iodine, because my thyroid gland was running slow and I was feeling cold most of the year. Now my body's idling power is higher.

About 4, I'd start long term storage from 80% because self-discharge rate is 30% per year in room temperature, or 15% per year in the fridge, which is the best storage temperature. Also, Battery University said in some article that 65% charge is optimal for storage, which is ~3.95V/cell at rest for most chemistries.

This may have had something to do with it.

Why would a development environment show you code in a different style from what you like? It's a simple conversion.

Why would your IDE show you code in a language other than you prefer? It's just a conversion.

Even my web browser shows any text in languages I can read, but for some reason it doesn't let me edit a document through the translation.
