I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m one of the few people who avoid / completely cut off caffeine (I have the gene for caffeine giving me anxiety - DNA test shown as much, cannot find info via a quick search to back up the DNA, but it’s what my health DNA test said and I’ve been experiencing extreme anxiety whenever consuming caffeine). I’m 25 and a few months ago I was asked to give my ID when buying an energy drink, because the store has a policy of needing to be at least 16 to purchase it.

ᦓρɾιƚҽ@lemmy.mlOPto Science@lemmy.ml•Moist wounds heal 2-3 times faster than dry woundsEnglish26·2 years agoThat’s why I share. :)
FYI, surgeons also tell me not to use soap when cleaning wounds, because it further dries the area out. I’m always told to simply use clean water.
I’m currently using some antiseptic gel as the wound isn’t fully closed. When the wound closes (so skin irritation without entrance under it), you can use silicone-based things or petroleum (e.g. vaseline). They may be applicable even earlier on, but surgeons told me not to use them until the wound itself is closed, and I cannot find information quicker, as all results mention scar treatment (silicone sheets can be used long-term on a freshly healed scar to help it heal better afaik - gels are said to evaporate too quickly to help). They help healing when there’s no more risk of wound opening and prevent worse scarring, plus definitely reduce pain if it’s caused by dried out wound.

ᦓρɾιƚҽ@lemmy.mlOPto Science@lemmy.ml•Moist wounds heal 2-3 times faster than dry woundsEnglish21·2 years agoFrom experience I can also say, if you feel pain from the wound, it’s likely due to it being too dry.

Decently sure adults need defense too.
I don’t use Gnome, as I had other issues with it. I solely use KDE with Wayland on endeavourOS (so Arch). I have multi monitor issues on W10 at work and I’m waiting to upgrade to W11. I’d request Linux, but due to the project I cannot. I’ve heard plenty of bad stuff about Gnome crashing for people and had it crash for me as well. I’d recommend giving KDE a try if you aren’t too tired of trying, but I respect your choice of W11. Most people don’t have multiple screens though. I don’t recommend Linux to niche users, since they may have niche needs.
I swear I’m not a Linux snob, but Linux is legitimely better for the average user than Windows. If you just need to use a browser, as MANY people do, Linux is more lenient on hardware and doesn’t lock you into an update screen of helplessness. I highly recommend ZorinOS, it has an option specifically for older machines.

ᦓρɾιƚҽ@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.world•Not even the ghost of obsolescence can coerce users onto Windows 11English89·2 years agoI hate W10 so much I moved to Linux. Cursed tablet-first “OS”. At work we are supposed to get W11 soonish and I look forward to that. It takes a while to roll out new OS in companies. Once it happens, people will get used to it and probably upgrade at home.

And they were the long ads you can skip, but if not, they will last. I miss back when a banner at the bottom of the video was an annoyance.
ᦓρɾιƚҽ@lemmy.mlto Men's Liberation@lemmy.ca•‘I prefer women’s jeans – men’s lack design subtlety’: why men are buying womenswearEnglish10·2 years agoI shop at both, but mostly buy what looks like women’s fashion sold in men’s section. Women’s section frequently just looks… Odd nowadays. I feel like they moved all comfy items to men’s since women seem to be less hung up anyway and the hung up choose the odd hyperfem stuff anyway. That’s my assumption. I started because I was tired of the ridiculously sized bulge packs meant for storing sandwiches, I suppose. Not that women’s has enough space, but it looks less bad to be too tight than way too loose.

ᦓρɾιƚҽ@lemmy.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•23andMe User Data Stolen in Targeted Attack on Ashkenazi JewsEnglish3·2 years agoI’d do mine if I had some spare money, because I’m in the exact same boat. 75% unknown.
I’m actually into terminal and abadonned two distros because they weren’t terminal centric for me. I recommend openSUSE and ZorinOS for people not into terminals.

Thankfully, privacy isn’t my concern, but I hope this doesn’t affect search quality.
I found your comment so hilarious. 😂 Not everyone has seen your movie.
I wish it was widely known, hence sharing. Only one surgeon told me of this, but didn’t explain, just mentioned long-term better scar outcome, not healing itself. I looked into it and do my best to accommodate wounds since and been having far better experiences.
Sadly, .world won’t see my post, because I’m banned there. I hope someone crossposts to their communities so they may see.
