i was once accidentally taking 25.000 IU daily for a few months instead of 5.000 (400-600 IU being official recommended dosages, although many sources claim that that's way to little, hence the 5.000). went to an endocrinologist for really weird bouts of whole body weakness and exhaustion after even light activity. nothing like i had ever experienced. lab results came back with a vitamin d level of the maximum measurement level (so probably more, maybe a lot more). that's when i realized i was taking 5 times more than i had planned. i looked up vitamin d toxicity and found fatigue and muscle weakness as symptoms and had the answer to my condition. i don't want to know what would have happened if i hadn't looked it up myself, because the doctor didn't even want to see me again, claiming by letter that my blood work was just fine. so yeah, pay attention to your supplement regime.


If you really want OOP, take a look at TADS 3 if you haven't already. Made the switch from Inform 6, and couldn't be happier.

Although the core library is not updated anymore, I find TADS 3 to be the superior language for offline interactive fiction. It's the most technical language by far, but that's why it's also the most feature rich (and for someone with a programming background, probably also the most intuitive). I'm still regularly amazed at what's baked into the standard library, that would be an absolute pain, or even outright impossible to do with other authoring systems.

exercise was the only thing that helped me get rid of panic attacks, and the literature backs that up. here's a recent review, but there's a lot more data out there.

i'm currently trying out https://turbo.hotwire.dev/ which is a new library from the basecamp guys, which makes it really easy to create SPA feeling sites with rails, using little to no javascript, and in a very unobtrusive, intuitive way. i'm guessing it's going to be an integral part of the upcoming rails 7 release.
