practical healthspan community introductory pinned post

Welcome to Practical Healthspan

Live long and prosper.

Hey — I’m glad you’re here. Practical Healthspan is a space to talk about health in the everyday: better sleep, food that works for you, moving a bit (or a lot), managing stress, staying connected, and trying small experiments. No hype. No pressure. Just what works, backed by science when possible, and real stories when not.

What to expect

• Friendly, curious vibes. We ask questions, share what we try, and learn together.
• When we talk about studies or protocols, we label what kind of evidence it is. If it’s your experiment, we say so.
• Be respectful. Critique ideas, not people. No “one-right way” energy.
• We’re not medical advice. If something’s serious, talk to actual professionals.

If you’re new to the Fediverse / Lemmy please check out some of the links in the community description

Weekly threads you’ll see

• Motivation Monday – What are you focusing on this week, health-wise?
• Study Sunday – We dig into a research paper, pull out takeaways, and a small practical nudge.
• Habit Check-In – Mid-week or end-of-week: what habits worked, what didn’t, what you’ll tweak.
• Food-Prep Friday – Share recipes, meal ideas, what’s helping you eat better without stressing.
• Tools & Gadgets – If you tried a new sleep tracker, app, kitchen gear, etc., share what worked or was meh.
• Reflection Friday – What experiments or changes you tried this week, what surprised you, what next.

Quick rules (so we all feel good here)

1. Be kind. Ideas over insults. No shaming someone’s body, food, choices.
2. If you’re making claims, try to provide sources. If it’s from personal experience, label it.
3. No medical advice. If you are discussing medication, serious health conditions, etc., recommend professional help.
4. Disclose conflicts / affiliations (if you’re selling something, promoting something, etc.).
5. No spam. Keep the vibes helpful.

Hello, am looking for a recommendation for a semi burner phone for travel. Features I would like to have are: decent vendor support (that is, software updates), relatively inexpensive (cheap enough so that if it gets stolen or confiscated by porcine law enforcement I won’t be too sad) but nice enough to keep as a daily driver, physical SIM card, ok camera for travel photos. I am currently leaning towards the Pixel 9a but at $499 USD that is pushing a bit against affordability. Any suggestions?

Important Notice

First of all, I'd like to thank you all for being part of the Comick community and for supporting this project over the years. After much thought, I’ve made the difficult decision to bring this site to a close.

Although the site is no longer online, I want to reassure you that your personal manga/comic lists remain safe. I am currently preparing a dedicated page where you’ll be able to access and export your lists. Once it’s ready, I’ll share the link here.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who visited, contributed, and shared in this journey with me. Running this platform has been an incredible experience, and I truly appreciate the time you’ve spent here.

Thank you again for your support and understanding.

Evidence that climate change harms public health is “beyond scientific dispute,” the independent National Academy of Sciences said Wednesday in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to revoke a landmark U.S. government finding to that effect that underpins key environmental regulations.

The NAS, a non-governmental nonprofit set up to advise the government on science, said human activity is releasing greenhouse gases that are warming the planet, increasing extreme temperatures and changing the oceans, all dangerous developments for the health and welfare of the United States public. Evidence to that effect has only grown stronger since 2009, the group said.

In July, the Trump administration proposed revoking what’s known as the 2009 “endangerment” finding, the concept that climate change is a threat. Overturning it could pave the way for cutting a range of rules that limit pollution from cars, power plants and other sources.

Scientific fraud and the reform of science publishing

I've recently started reading the book by Dale Carnegie and so far, roughly a third into it, I've found it pretty good although not revolutionary. What are you folk's opinions on it?

Addendum: also any advice for making genuine connections and interact with people for someone whose social skills are not the sharpest?

Can confirm. My pet pig had gotten into the cabinets, TWICE, and downed a 12-pack of Keystone Light. Had to put the toddler locks back on. Weirdly, he seemed just a little sleepy. This fat boy was hitting the moonshine!
