  • I built my PC recently and splurged to get about 100gb of ddr5, thinking it was going to be a waste of money.

    I couldn’t have been more wrong, there are occasionally times when I’m almost running out of memory. How? Multiple desktops, each with tons of programs and stuff open, including probably like several hundred Firefox tabs open at the worst of times.

    Basically, extra ram has allowed me to kinda postpone the responsibility of having the close programs, maintain cleanliness, etc. I still have to stay organised using desktops so I don’t go crazy with the number of things I have open, but I’m the limiting factor here, not my computer. And that’s a super liberating feeling.

    TL;DR: you can NEVER have too much ram.












  • That’s one of the takeaways here, there were a lot more details.

    The stuff about everyone’s baseline energy consumption being pretty much just linked to your body weight (and in the long term being unaffected by the amount of exercise you do) was pretty eye-opening for me. I had no idea that if you live a sedentary lifestyle, your body uses that extra energy budget for stuff like your immune system (which is bad), and this could be why exercise reduces inflammation, etc.
