Loop makes earplugs designed to do this. They have different models, like their Experience one is designed for going to concerts that are too loud, but you still want to be able to hear the music properly, just quieter. Or Engage let's you hear voices, but it helps block out background noises. They're pretty discreet and most people won't notice you're wearing them in my experience.

That's hilarious

Oh, at my last job I used my Leatherman a ton. Wire cutters, screw driver, pliers, etc. I used the blade for opening boxes and stuff too. I don't know that I'd say everyone needs one, but they are pretty handy. I don't usually carry it anymore at my new job since it's pretty different, but I still occasionally find myself reaching for it.

To the OP question, I would say everyone should have a "go bag" with essential stuff you need in an emergency that's already packed and ready to go. A multitool is a great addition to a Go Bag since it can take the place of a lot of tools in a compact way.

Yeah, usually it takes a few weeks or even months for the preferred version to be changed, unless there is a major security issue fixed. But usually the page lists the new version pretty quickly, just doesn't mark it as preferred.

Every time I go to buy a first aid kit I realize I don't really know how to use anything inside besides like the bandaids and simple stuff.

There are some Leatherman tools without blades: https://www.leatherman.com/knifeless

And lots more options if you look at multitools from other companies.

Apparently it says "Dan's Fan City" but the sign in the pic was photoshopped: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZvS9PPygh4ouReQy8

You should use one with an AMOLED dark mode. Usually the screen uses the most battery and if your phone supports AMOLED it actually turns the pixels off to make blacks, which is more energy efficient. I have Connect, Liftoff, and Jerboa and they all offer it as a theme option although Jerboa calls it System Black (I think that's the same thing anyway).

I use SyncThing to backup our cell phones to my on-prem server, and then use BackBlaze Personal Backup for a cloud copy.

A few reminders from yesterday's Applications and Threats Content Release Notes (Version 8732):

  • (7/14/23) We started adding URLs to the new “artificial-intelligence” category (added to the Advanced URL Filtering/PANDB category list in content version 8727). This new category is available on all supported PAN-OS releases and we recommend that, if you didn’t already, you ensure that the default action for this category is set to “Alert.” See the FAQ for more information.

  • (7/11/2023) We added a new category, “scanning-activity,” to the Advanced URL Filtering/PANDB category list in content version 8729. This new category is visible across all supported PAN-OS releases. [Action Required] we recommend that you update the default action for this category to “Block” before we start adding URLs on October 11, 2023. See the FAQ for more information.

Almonds are great. I've also been eating a lot of walnuts lately -- I didn't used to be a big fan, but since starting keto I've really appreciated their Omega-3 profile, and they've actually grown on me. Also occasionally macadamia, hazelnuts, and a couple Brazil nuts. Nuts have a lot of calories but are great to fit in.

First, congratulations; 10-11 kg is a great start!

Are you tracking your macros? How much of a caloric deficit are you running? Do you know if 50g of carbs is keeping you in ketosis? (20g is traditionally used because it pretty safely keeps you in ketosis, but some people can consume considerably more carbs and still stay in ketosis.)

Are any of your other metrics changing -- pants/belt size, etc. Sometimes you can drop a size without actually losing any weight.

You could try intermittent fasting. Sometimes that helps people jump-start things.

I haven't traveled extensively while on keto, but I recommend planning ahead. Scope out the restaurants and grocery options where you're going and make a plan for where and what you'll eat. It's really overwhelming figuring out where to eat after traveling all day - having a plan will help prevent you from defaulting to old eating habits.

Also, bring snacks with you - nuts, jerky, maybe cheese, etc. Stuff that will get you quick low carb fat and protein calories, but that travels well.
