Standard Notes is phenomenal, it's FOSS and privacy focused. However, it does require setting up a free account to use. This account allows you to access the notes from any device, so totally worth it!

Soo, OP's account is currently ~30 minutes old. Not sure if it's just me, but that makes me somewhat hesitant to join and I just wanted to highlight it for everyone.

Meat and veg contain nearly no carbs though. Insulin is the "key" allowing for cells to uptake glucose, aka carbs, from the blood to make ATP. So a rise in ones blood glucose after a meal of just meat and veg doesn't exactly make sense. I'm type I, so my islet cells have been killed off by my immune system, meaning I can't produce insulin. Type II is associated with the cellular insulin receptors not working as efficiently, which the body attempts to fix by increasing insulin production. Unfortunately, this increased metabolic demand leads to dysfunctional islet cells over time due to the prolonged cell stress. I know it's a small thing, but diabetes is an invasive disease and the more you know, the better control one can maintain! Maybe check the sauces used in the meat and veg meal? This is likely the source of the carbs leading to the high blood glucose level after eating.

Cookies do not directly communicate your IP address, they're just bits of data about your visit. Logging out of LinkedIn and closing your browser should clear them, unless they're persistent cookies.

Using a VPN to create a new Spotify account maskes your actual IP address. Meaning spotify wont know your home IP address. But, if Spotify uses cookies from your previous sessions or if you log in with the same credentials, it may still serve targeted ads based on your previous activity.

So while cookies don't transmit your IP address, they still influence the ads you see based on your browsing history and/or account information. For enhanced privacy, it's usually recommended to set cookies to be wiped when you close the browser. I have a handful of sites I like to keep cookies for, but everything else is gone after each session.

Sure, it's just that skateboards don't have any element of suprise. But some heely-soap combo kicks most definitely could suprise folks!

Off the stage after receiving an award, degree, or something similar. Ideally backwards while doing finger guns! But for real, why hasn't anyone combined Heelys and Soaps so we can grind between rippin around on the wheels?!

Well said! We figured it all came down to the membership aspect of the business, as well as their huge breadth of services offered. This results in them just wanting to get people in and out rather than fight customers over "trivial" transactions.

My brother found that sourcing his ADHD meds from Sam Club has been super hassle free. If you didn't know, they legally must allow anyone to use their pharmacy, regardless of membership! Most states also require them to sell booze to everyone too. But hopefully your sister can give this a shot and she'll get similar results.

Limiting the impact corporations have on the environment via legislation is one highly effective way. But I'm just a person from the 89% of the population with this stance. So asking me isn't all that useful. Asking at the demonstrations in a manner which takes account of each response is a much more logical way to help figure this out. Additionally, there's definitely organizations who've done a lot of work here and have plans drawn up on these matters.

If all 89% of us took part in demonstrations, that'd be a great start. Those pushing back would eventually break from the pressure.

I use a Iron Fox on mobile with uBlock, so I don't get pop-ups, but thanks for the heads up. Does your mobile browser have reader mode? If so, enabling it as the site loads is a great workaround for this.

John Steinbeck's story is a trip. He wrote about the "underbelly of society" according to the political leaders of the city he was from (Salinas, Ca) in his early/mid career. So much so, they kicked him out of town. After he blew up for his work, they felt shame for giving him the boot. There's now a big museum dedicated to him in downtown Salinas, The National Steinbeck Center. What this proves is capitalist only care about you if they can make a buck off ya, otherwise, get lost!
