In my experience, no. There are studies that have shown Fish Oil and Magnesium to slightly improve some memory functions over time, but caffeine or actual prescribed meds from a doctor have been quicker and had better results.

At least for the ADHD, I haven’t found anything for the autism front.

I’ve started having issues recently, too. After a work injury, I finally saw my GP, who recommended Physical Therapy, which has basically just been a guided workout with some yoga moves worked in over the course of an hour.

It hasn’t fixed my pain yet, but it’s made it better, and my pain was explained in a way that makes sense (my shoulders and core weren’t as strong as they should have been, placing undue burden on some of my backmuscles).

If you don’t want to go to PT, I’d strongly recommend just slowly doing 10-15 minutes of simple stretching like what you might have done in Gym as a kid. Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, not pain, doing each stretch 3 tines for 10 seconds. It might be worth looking into some basic yoga poses that target your particular pains (or the ones that you want to target first).

I’ll bet you’ll notice good results after a week. If not, definitely go see your GP again.

Obligatory “I am not a doctor”

I just linked you 6 articles and a peer reviewed paper on the subject, but if you’re still not going to believe me, I’m not going to spoonfeed you. This is my last reply to your motonormative idiocy.

You have me confused for someone else. Lemmy is a big place with multiple users, someone else said that it’s both.

But sure, here you go:

Pedestrian fatalities are correlated with two major factors: speed and vehicle size. In North America, streets are designed to make driving easier and faster: lanes are made wider, and obstacles are removed to reduce visual clutter. This results in everything in NA looking flat and being spread out.

Vehicle sizes are goibg up because of the “size wars”: the EPA made limits on fuel emissions barring vehicle size, so auto manufacturers decided to make larger vehicles to get around the limitations. Consumers wanted bigger, “safer” vehicles to make it more likely to survive a crash, so there’s become an arms race for vehicle size. As these vehicles get bigger, pedestrians become harder to see, and if a pedestrian is hit, the grill is so high, the pedesteian will be thrown under the vehicle as opposed to over it.

As North America grows, we expand into suburbs, which are residential only, requiring residents to commute into the city to get groceries or go to work. More driving means more km driven.

And if you want my sources, here are a few to get you started:

I hope these provide the answers you’re looking for.

The only thing I know as someone not in the business is that many of the experts are saying larger vehicles are nearly half of all fatalities.

Do note that these are numbers for the US, and may not correspond with other countries.

Were already at an all-time high of vehicle related deaths. We’d actually probably see a decrease in fatalities if we made cars smaller.

I think they store the data about the files in a database, but the files are in a folder structure.

Doesn’t make sense to have data that could be a few gigabytes in a database, or maybe that’s just me.

I personally don’t use Photoshop but was using it as an example. You could fill in the blank with other tools like AutoCAD, MS Office, QuickBooks/Quicken, etc.

I think there are two major hurdles keeping Linux adoption back (besides the obvious installation bit). The first is that our backwards compatibility is terrible. It is easier to get old versions of Windows software to run in Wine than it is to get some old Linux software to run natively.

If something like Photoshop did finally release a Linux version, even if they only did one release to make 2% of people happy, it likely wouldn’t be able to run natively after 5 years.

The second is a good graphical toolkit. Yes, GTK and Qt exist, but neither are as simple as WinForms or SwiftUI/Aqua.

The cast of The Hobbitcaust

It tried, but it missed some good context

This might be controversial, but the new Denis Villeneuve movies are much better than the book. Maybe watch the movies and read the book or trawl the wiki after for more context.

Well, you know the old adage: “Good artists copy, great artists steal”

We need an anime crash. Too many light novel isekai adaptions, not enough good stories. Change my mind.

Yeah, I was wondering why they were going to continue with such a dangerous mission after all the bad press Boeing has been getting lately. Sunk cost fallacy, maybe?

They must have done that for the American broadcast too

Interestingly, Tom Scott did a video about this a few years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGnH0KAXhCw

Are you red-green colorblind?

It’s a “background noise” sitcom that isn’t constrained by cast salaries or real life. What I mean by that is that with a regular 4 camera sitcom, you have to have all the camera people, mic people, set and props people, who all make sure the scene is reset for each take. Every actor in the scene needs to be present, and if one flubs their line, they all have to restart and do it again. A five minute scene can take several hours.

For animated shows, it’s usually recorded one by one in a booth. If the actor flubs a line, they just re-record the line. Even if a character is onscreen for a majority of the episode, dubbing their lines for the entire episode would take no more than an hour.

In true Capitalist fashion, it’s a known product that is cheap and easy to make, and people will just consume it for the background noise and easy watching.
