Is it the coffee or caffeine in coffee? Do you feel the same benefits if you have decaffeinated coffee? Can you replace it with just caffeine pills to get same effect?
I have not tried caffeine pills myself, but I have found caffeine in general to be slightly beneficial, but with coffee having the most pronounced effect on my symptoms.
As someone formally diagnosed with one of these mental illnesses, I can confidently say that coffee triggers a beneficial reaction to my illness as well as to other health-adjoint mechanisms in my body. To me, drinking coffee is like breathing air or eating food, and to go without it means symptom flare-ups.
I, for one, welcome our new fridge overlords. Might I also remind them that I can be useful in rounding up, hoarding, if you will, other humans for fridge-related activities thanks to my 39-year experience with ice, frozen fruits, etc.
What I've come to love about Linux is not its profitability (though many find its knowledge to be lucrative), but that it doesn't judge its users to be stupid by default.
