Take this as a PSA and reminder.

Gaming and sitting in front of the PC all day can and does induce stress responses. And although that stress is primarily mental, the body's response to it is very much and almost 100% physical. You have to compensate for that stress. Otherwise you will suffer.

Luckily, there are just three things you need to do in order to not suffer. The only real challenge is to be consistent with them.
  1. Do sports. Two to three times a week minimum. Preferably high intensity cardio and resistance training.
    Your body needs to be able to tank that stress. It simply can't and won't if it's physically weak.
  2. Eat well. Constant influx of adrenaline spikes, high cortisol, abnormal blood pressure, anxiety... the list of stress related problems is very long. Most notably, stress throws your hormonal balance out of whack. Your body needs fitness and proper nutrition to deal with that imbalance. Medication isn't going to solve that unless you have some sever medical condition. In any case, you need the right food buffs. Hamburgers and cola are debuffs. So is almost everything that is processed. By all means, have your pizza. But the majority of what you eat needs to be whole foods. Only real food will give you real buffs.
  3. Sleep enough. This is the no-brainer too many of us like to ignore. If you don't sleep enough you're doing severe damage to your body. The crux here is that most of the time you don't feel that damage until it's too late. Also, there is no such thing as "Oh I slept 4 hours today so I'm gonna do 10 tomorrow and be good". Every single day you don't get enough sleep, you're doing damage. Sleep deprivation is a very real and very silent killer. Take it seriously.
Believe me, I speak from experence when I tell you these three are not optionals. I paid my dues before I learned the lesson. Ignore one or more of these pillars and you will suffer. The older you get, the higher the price will be.

Stay healthy y'all.
r/wholesomememes - What's a compliment that you'll always remember?

In a speech during the oil embargo, President Nixon announced that they would build 1000 nuclear power plants by the year 2000 to achieve energy independence. If they had actually done this then the US would have 200% of its energy capacity today and not need oil for generating electricity.

The US Civil War can be classified as an Anglo-Saxon vs Celtic war. The ethnic make up of the south, for some reason was mostly Irish, Welsh, Scottish and Breton, aka the descendants of the Celts, while the north was more Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman.

Also, the Appalachian trial technically ends in Scotland.

I learned that Spotted Owls can breed with Barred owls and make hybrids which is leading people to want to go out and kill barred owls that started showing up in the pacific NW in the 1970s

Is it fine by you if I give my knowledge from months ago?
Its got to do with farming and weeding, will edit this one if you give me your thumb.

Here,
So to plant crops, one must remove the weeds that means any plant we don't desire to grow is to removed. Why is it that? Plants compete in nutrients, water and light as far as I remember, the hard part is their seeds cannot be removed from the soil and will dormant for years until condition is right. You either be lazy by using tillage or manually pull them for many many years or in my method ready the seedling to grow until roots can be seen then remove weeds, transplant seed then add mulch which is either layer of rocks or dead leaves in this case bamboo.

Former will work for years so its best to use it on crops that last that long like mango tree but you need liquid organic fertiliser to top up the soil, it will be a hassle to remove rocks if you intend to clear it. Latter, fits the bill for short living crops of less then a year, only thing is it needs plenty of them in layers and top up every month, resource wise grow bamboo they legit are mulch heaven hardly others utilise this. However some knuclehead of weeds are resilient with their determination to grow so just pluck em and add layers in that area.

I like organic and not chemicals because at least the bad virus/bacteria will be beaten back by sudden competition but to make organic fertiliser is grabbing any green leaves, greener is better and other variety.... actually just watch this guy.

I learnt that getting a year older doesn't really make you older.
I don't know how I'll explain this but I feel the same as yesterday, there was no sudden enlightenment, nothing really changed well except for the fact I can now buy and drink alcohol if I was in the US
