  • Has anyone bought a USB wall charger from Aliexpress? What was your experience like?

  • I have this 8-port, 268 watt GAN tower with 3 QC 18watt A ports, 6 PD 30 watt C ports, and a PD 100 watt C port. It's a top notch, high quality product. I paid 25 USD for it last year, but it's $77 now from that store, but I bet you could find a Choice Super Deal.

    I also have one of these cheap 65 watt QC multi-port plugs. It's thin, but seems fine.

    All that said, I have experienced battery failure, then also on several cheap replacement batteries, so I will keep my phone plugged into the recommended 30 watt C-cube.

    I've yet to discover a cable that doesn't evoke skepticism after use. I will need to learn about the best wire materials for cables instead of buying the lowest priced items.

    I don't buy into "you get what you pay for" because that's a capitalistic sales pressure idiom motivating consumerism that's become mindlessly repeated. As long as the technology, materials, craftsmanship and functionality are legitimate, the lowest price that meets my quality standards is what I pay. I always read those specs before letting the price influence me.

  • Substance use is a major cause of unhealthy and abusive kitchen dynamics. Illicit substances render the user increasingly less capable ongoingly. Plus, the notorious attraction to that absence of drug checks brings those challenging social dynamics together into a hot, compact, and stressful interactive environment that represses honest emotional expressiveness amidst customers. Stress compounds and needs transformation. Recognize that bad formula, and instead nourish healthy therapeutics into your physiology from the opposite end of the sprectrum. If you smoke or drink, ease off as much as possible for as long as possible. I'm so glad I replaced those habits with healthy substances. So instead, look to nootropics for physical performance and clarity, and supercharge your days with high quality nutritional foods into your diet and with good hydration with enough quality water kept onhand (RO or artesian).

    Constant supply of your favorite snack fruits can really help make a stressful kitchen into a managable experience. A large shaker bottle full of snackable frozen grapes or berries while on the job can feel nice. Or your favorite nuts with rasins and dark chocolate chips. That might just be my opinion. Higher end grocery stores have some great bulk bin goodies.

    My effective decompression approach: Earbuds, my best music, solo racquetball or solo tennis practice against a handball wall (energetic overhead serves only), and sweat.

    Its a simple, free (which is cheaper than golf and batting cages), and it's a great solitary interactive medium that transforms an emotional need to physically exert stressful energy into positive exercise which won't incur embodiment of physical stress (like weightlifting), and in a way that's uplifting in that it effectively dissolves stress and creates a sense of situational command over an inanimate medium (the ball) while increasing physiological capacity. That's a nice inversion of subjectional and exhausting kitchen labor.

    Equipment is best hunted at major thrift stores such as Goodwill. Tennis balls can always be collected as used from local tennis court trash cans; the firmer the ball, the better, but for now you just need something that will safely bounce off a racquet.

    Afterwards, before stepping into a steamy shower or hot bath for a while with some decompressing tunes, make some strong chammomile tea and take 5-HTP with it. That's tryptophan, but it will mostly only just settle nerves and maybe relax your mind a little to help you recenter and mastermind those stresses, same with the chammomile. Jarrow Formulas is a good supplement quality. The single 50mg capsules are effective.

    If you're ending shifts late at night, walks in peaceful areas are also a nice and easy option. Walk it off. If you're up for a jog, even better. Bike rides or a stationary bike can be great options. Exercise helps balance the mind. Jam that stress out into sweat and positivity.

    A gym membership can offer some great exercise equipment too (bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, row machines) which can be nice after work late at night, especially if there's a pool and sauna or even just showers. Focus on expending energy through exercise, not stressful weight loads. Weights will conort any existing physical embodiment of work stress and any physical stress from poor sleep quality. Loosening up with exercise, and also chiropractics and stretches will increase your capacity to handle stress more gracefully on the job because you'll move and breathe better which will help you think, interact, and perform better.

    I hope this proves helpful.

  • I really appreciate these suggestions. Thank you.Since you mentioned alt-grains, I'll admit I'm more interested in leaner "ancient" alternatives to rice, but sometimes I still test my glycemic threshold with brown rice variants; basmati and jasmine.Zojirushi has been recommended to me before, so this is starting to ring true. Your stovetop notions are hands down agreeable. Thanks for introducing me to the hob top. Smart!

  • At least the OAuth2 access is protected. That's the detail I needed to see.

    So many articles suck these days.

    That's the direct implication of the innate nature of capitalism. News publishers drive researchers and writers into mill writing which unfortunately involves reworded mimicry of the few who publish the original "investigative research" they recorded from the source. They're doing it for money too, so they aren't alloted enough time to fully investigate off they want to publish their name to juicy details first before those who can and will fully investigate it to publish a full exposé.

    We expect news publishers to dramatize titles for the click-bait effect at their websites. But within a public forum platform (here), reposting the click-bait title into the community post effectively misleads forum readers because this space is personable and honest, so we expect an honest post title here. News publishers know this and exploit that in Reddit, but hopefully not here. Every time I see OPs copy-posting and running off, I have to suspect industry marketing efforts in effect, perhaps especially when OP is a bot.

    I really don't want to see Lemmy become polluted with news marketing as though this platform is at all open to the same abuse as that socialist dictatorship platform we left to be here.

  • The title seems dramatic, but using the Outlook client to link a third-party account is supposed to connect to those emails with the respective credentials, right?

  • You're suggesting Reddit as a better place to promote grammatical correctness? Why? Is basic correct grammar too high a standard for an idealistic, tech-savvy collaborative forum platform such as Lemmy, especially given all the bright minds whom have deviated from the corruption of Reddit's sold-out mismanagement to instead contribute to the ideals offered by Lemmy?

    I really think this platform deserves more mindfulness than the mindlessness we all saw pollute and corrupt Reddit. Don't ya think?
