thrusong commented on Vitamin D reduces incidence and duration of colds in those with low levels   ijmpr.in/article/the-role... · Posted by u/cachecrab

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba where it is quite cold for a big majority of the year. I have dabbled with supplements because I get a couple of major colds every year.

I've heard things like you only need 15 minutes of sunshine per day to get your recommended dose of Vitamin D, but I've also heard it can be quite bad for you if you have too much in your system (and it's hard for your body to flush excess amounts).

If there a safe level of Vitamin D supplements where you won't run this risk? I don't drink milk either because I'm lactose intolerant.

They already had these teams and they already had the infrastructure. 100M is a drop in the ocean to Meta

That's what I thought too when they touted this meteoric rise to 100M in the early days of Threads.

If it's tied to Instagram, and these users aren't using Instagram while they're on Threads, isn't it basically the same difference?

mpv is a key part of my home theatre automation I wrote in PHP.

It runs on a Pi 4. PHP assembles playlists with a Dolby ad, a vintage dancing hot dog ad, trailers, and the feature. It runs mpv through proc_open.

It monitors the progress and controls mpv through a socket to know when to dim or raise the lights, open or close the curtain, etc.

I mean, they'll probably shut down if Pierre Poilievre assumes power, though.

Not sure why I got downvoted— for context to non-Canadians, a core policy of the Conservatives is to defund the CBC.

CBC is publicly funded so they aren't going to go out of business. The smaller outlets maybe, but remains to be seen.

I really enjoyed Flexbox Froggy and felt like it helped me a lot better than Grid Garden. Maybe my brain just isn't a grid-oriented brain— CSS Grid never seems to stick.

I'm getting a 502 error with a robot graphic.

EDIT: It's up for my partner beside me, and it's up for my mom in Calgary, but still down for me.
