Eleven articles were included. In men with LUTS, a significantly lower PVR (−24.96 ml; 95%CI −48.70 to −1.23) was shown in sitting position compared to standing. In accordance, Qmax was increased (1.23 ml/s; 95%CI −1.02 to 3.48), and TQ was decreased (−0.62 s; 95%CI −1.66 to 0.42) in sitting position, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. In healthy men, Qmax (0.18 ml/s; 95% CI −1.67 to 2.02), TQ (0.49 s; 95%CI −3.30 to 4.27) and PVR (0.43 ml; 95%CI −0.79 to 1,65) were similar in sitting and standing position.

So that others don't have to go read it to find out, LUTS is Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms. Right off the bat, if you don't have a LUTS, this doesn't appear to apply to you. Further, it even says there was no statistical significance for those with LUTS or healthy men.

The conclusion:

For healthy men, no difference is found in any of the urodynamic parameters. In patients with LUTS, the sitting position is linked with an improved urodynamic profile.

For the 2nd, I didn't get past the title:

Urine Is Not Sterile: Use of Enhanced Urine Culture Techniques To Detect Resident Bacterial Flora in the Adult Female Bladder

This seems to be about female bladders. I could be wrong here but I do think we were talking about males standing to pee. The words "sitting", "standing", and "male" make no appearance in the study.

This is a strange topic to have such a strong opinion about to have no good proof for.

Straight up child abuse. Fuck...

Every once in a while I still spot someone smoking with kids in the car. That shit makes me irate.

Born in early 90's. We were still responding "non" to the first question that was asked entering a restaurant.

Just as soon as people quit pissing on it.

[UPDATE] Could use some recommendations for a (usually) quick typist. (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I've been able to type on any keyboard.

I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don't think I want to bring in browns. I'm a heavy typer and frankly I'm loud on browns.

I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I'm making way more mistakes, I'm typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That's when I learned about linear vs tactile... I think tactile is what I need.

So with that, I'm looking for:

Need:

Tactile
Light switches (should not take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference)
Quiet
100% layout

Want:

Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent.
USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already.

Nice to have:

Hot swappable PCB

Open to other info I'm not thinking about.

Edit: After looking around some more this evening, I'm leaning toward grabbing a Keychron K10 Pro, grabbing some Zilents V2's and sticking those in there, then popping on the caps I have. This would be the most building I've done for a keyboard. See any issues with that?

Update

Based on the recommendations here and some other threads I read, I went with a Keychron Q6 Max and the Zilent V2's.

I confirmed that my poor speed and accuracy on the (previous) new board I had gotten was definitely due to my not being used to linears. After a day of using the new Keychron with Zilents I did a typing test and got a new PB.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm in trouble because I want to replace my home keyboard with the same...

A newbie helping newbies - Launch Firefox profile from shortcut. (self.linux)

submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by capital to c/[email protected]

I recently switched from Windows 10 to ZorrinOS (after a quick detour to NixOS... OOF) and in the course of setting things up how I like, I ran across some interesting stuff relating to flatpaks and shortcuts. I wanted to get this written to provide a resource for other people who might be switching.

This is a guide to making a shortcut to launch a particular Firefox profile, on a Ubuntu based distro, while running Firefox as a flatpak. This is just how I did it, put the files where you want.

Make a directory to hold the launch script and a shortcut icon. My script:

#!/bin/sh
flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p youtube

Obviously, make it executable.

Because Firefox is running as a flatpak we can't just launch it using firefox. They're actually stored in /var/lib/flatpak/app and can be launched like this.

https://opensource.com/article/21/5/launch-flatpaks-linux-terminal

Create a text file in the Desktop directory with a .desktop extension like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=YouTube
Comment= Launches Firefox Youtube profile
Exec=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/firefox-youtube.sh
Icon=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/youtube-app-icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application

https://www.baeldung.com/linux/desktop-entry-files

Once saved, make it executable. Right click > "Allow Launching". Done.

Just for fun, this is the image I like for it.

The inevitable at last arrived. Last month, for the first time, passively managed funds controlled more assets than did their actively managed competitors.

I honestly thought this happened a while ago...

[Solved] Reno 911! episode where they stop chasing a (naked?) man as soon as he crosses out of their jurisdiction. (self.tipofmytongue)

I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip.

I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.

I want to move one of my more important guides to Lemmy (lemmy.ml/datahoarder) but when I paste the guide in and click Create, the "Create" button just spins endlessly.

Did I hit some character limit? It's 13,944 char and 204 lines.
