YSK that the recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA. 95% of the country does not meet this amount. in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Exactly. I use a blender (stirring never worked) with a squirt of water flavoring. The key part is the immediate chugging!

I had to start supplementing with psyllium fiber (powder) several months ago after a massive hemorrhoid attack last fall. (Surgeon gave me the identical advice.)

If I don't get at least 40 g a day of total fiber (about 20+ of which are the powder), stools get large 'n' hard. It's working, and my ass is thanking me.

What I'm having trouble squaring is I don't think we evolved eating that much fiber every day. Pre-agriculture it would have been (depending on which part of the planet) lot's of animal protein and whatever roots & berries you could find, right?

We've often described this as "...the best film you've never heard of."

Just realized I've got a wide selection: Windows, MacOS, Android, and EndevourOS, and Manjaro. (I haven't booted the Windows box in MONTHS...)

When playing Jellyfin off an Nvidia Shield TV, is it possible to set a default external video player per TV series? in c/jellyfin@lemmy.ml
[–] wilberfan@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

My only available options are

  • "Automatically choose"
  • "ExoPlayer"
  • "LibVLC (experimental)"
  • "External app"
  • "Always ask"

And ExoPlayer is the one already selected. Do I need to manually install JustPlayer and/or MXPlayer on the Shield?

Edit: Found 'em in the Play Store and installed them to the Shield. 👍

As a Shield user and new Jelly adopter, I'll be interested in this answer. (Plus, I didn't know there were player options.)

Edit: Happen to know where I find the player settings? 🤔

It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things will be stolen for their copper or other metals on a regular basis.
