I lived the first 20 or so years of my early life not knowing about smells. I think I already "knew" that I can't smell but I never really appreciated this about myself. I had always been "immune" to smelly things like animal poo, dead animals or whatever (which is abundant since I lived in a remote area). I think the receptors are there because I do feel weird or "sense" that something is wrong when there's smell (only once they told me about it so maybe its just psychological) but I do feel a "sensation" when something that gives out a strong smell is put close to my nose (like perfume and things like that).
However, my brain can't seem to connect which is what. I have no idea what "smelly things" smell like, or what makes a perfume smell "good".
So my family would often asked me to dispose of things that really smell or enter a really smelly room and things like that because they thought I am just "stoic" in this sense. I think they first realized that I don't smell is when I was shocked when they said that my coffee smelt nice. They went "Wait, you don't know coffee smell?". I had always faked my responses when people ask about smell and basically gave awkward smile or grief whenever is appropriate lol.
It didn't dawned on me until recently that I am missing out on a 1/5 a human experience. It also meant that I am very anxious if I am cleaning up properly (do I smell? did I miss a spot?)
Does anyone share the same experience? I wonder how you cope with this issue. I don't have any SO so I don't have a mirror that I can reflect on if the room or myself smell or whatever.
Not being able to smell sucks. I was able to smell for the first 20+ years of my life and then lost it.
After years of going to doctors getting treated for polyps and allergies and all kinds of things I was diagnosed with Samter's Triad.
I know you have this since birth and it most likely is not what you have, but other people with similar symptoms may want to look into that, because not many doctors that I came across knew this.
One thing I found quite astounding while fasting is how keen my sense of smell is. I normally don't smell much at all, but while fasting I can smell every restaurant in a 2 mile radius.
I guess it's mostly my brain filtering out "irrelevant data" (the location of food becomes relevant when you're hungry!)
That made me wonder if my other senses might be sharper while hungry too. As hunters, I imagine our ability to plan might also benefit.
Has any research been done on the effects of hunger on cognitive performance?
Do you suffer from allergies/chronic rhinitis by any chance? I have hyposmia because of rhinitis.
But I get the same - go without food for a while and my sense of smell increases until I eat and become satiated.
Now whether it’s related to certain allergens that I eat or the body/senses becoming less sharp I do not know.
Probably worth investigating a bit more, I never really dug deeper into this.
Do you have a TLDR for that article? It's pretty long and wordy.
This is from Kagi's summarizer:
Anki is a powerful tool for improving long-term memory.
Anki is best used in service to a creative project.
It is important to ask good questions when using Anki.
Anki is most useful for learning new fields.
Anki can be used to develop virtuoso skills.
It is important to avoid orphan questions and yes/no patterns when using Anki.
Memory is complicated and we should be careful before putting too much faith in any given model.
Distributed practice is important for maximizing retention.
Anki can be used to remember non-verbal experiences.
Anki can be used to memorize APIs and code.Probably not a hugely popular viewpoint, but I can’t help but immediately think there’s a good chance it’s dirty money. There’s just so much of it that can’t be laundered so it’s worthless except for altruistic purposes like this.
If you trace back the addresses, you get to this:

Which in turn shows it came from Tornado Cash which was put on the OFAC blacklist in August. So redox will likely have a very hard time to get this converted.

I am confused.
Domain and headline and frontpage says RayvnOS
but by the screen shots it says airyxOS?
They rebranded due to legal reasons - https://twitter.com/ravynsoft/status/1520779114336071680
I just looked into that; it does, but only if my mail admin has enabled it :(
You can bypass that with running a local instance of davmail - https://github.com/mguessan/davmail
It works really well if you are comfortable on the command line to get it running.
