The mechanism you are describing about fat cells refilling vs making new cells, does not make sense. They have done studies, and the number of fat cells remain constant during adulthood, unless you undergo liposuction or other procedures. I think what you are describing is a set point weight, where your body tries (via hormones I think) to maintain its preferred weight. So its more a metabolism effect rather than physical space issue about storing fat.
I don’t have a solution. However, here’s suggestions.
Try to evaluate her actions and words as a reflection as to her own insecurities or immaturity. Try to assess if there is any thing you can say to her to get her to respect you the way you wish. This would likely involve setting clear personal boundaries. If not, then don’t be her friend, and spend time with people who you have better relationships with. You can also try to make new friends by joining activities you have genuine interest in. I’m guessing if you find people who share your values or interests, you’ll be happier.
Also, if you have some friends you like better, ask them directly if they view you as childish. Ask them to be specific and honest. There might be something easy you can do differently. Or they might not view you as childish at all.
People should be eating high fiber foods everyday, in significant quantities. You body does adapt. If even small quantities of these foods causes issues, then you can try increasing slowly and consistently, over say a month or two. Or you can try changing your diet quickly if you have time to deal with any potential side effects short term.
So, just make sure to cook the grains and legumes properly, don’t worry about how cooking degrades nutrients, and eat lots consistently. If one methods of cooking digests or tastes better for you, stick to that.
It’s like people who ask why exercise hurts after being sedentary for a long time. Just exercise more, and it won’t hurt.
I doubt they took into account the emissions and other climate effects due to the animal agriculture they will be supporting.
No, two of the most likely mechanisms are cholesterol and AGEs.
If you want to return to being a cereal person, try a minimally processed no sugar cereal such as Uncle Sam, with a no sugar plant milk such as West Life soymilk.
Is it the last date someone was executed by hanging, in each state?
The picture looks like the cat is asleep, which doesn’t seem to be “head pressing”. The picture looks like normal cat behavior to me.
Had a cat who jumped on the counters all the time when we first got her. Decided to cover the counters with tin foil. Scared her quite badly. Needless to say she has not to our knowledge jumped up again.
If a tumbleweed update causes issues, then rollback to a previous snapshot where the issue was not present. You should: reboot into the preupdate snapshot, which will be in read only mode; then launch zoom and check it works without error; then in a terminal enter sudo snapper rollback, which creates a read write copy of the good snapshot; reboot and your computer should be as if you never did the update.
The next question is about updating again in the future and if zoom will break. If you update again in say a month, the issue may not occur. It’s hard to say. Otherwise, if you can figure out which library packages caused the problem, you can lock them in yast so that they do not update on zypper dup.
I had a similar issue with zoom in the last few years. If zoom stability is essential for you, just use the flatpak. The web client is an option too.
Since you hold a strong opinion on the quality, can you give an example of an animated icon pack which keeps to good design standards?
