Windows 11 includes a built-in administrator account that allows the computer manufacturers to install apps without creating a user account. For general users, however, the account is hidden by default to prevent unauthorized access.

FROM WHOM???

Ah yes, the bloatware account. The account specifically created to install bloatware. The bloatware installer's account. *smacks your grubby little hands away from it* Not for you. You'll do dumb stuff to the pc.

As someone who remembers what Windows 95 was like and misses it intensely: I didn't think things could get worse, but here we are.

i learned that sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children. This myth is based on a single 1978 study; no subsequent study has shown a relationship (x)

In fact, a meta-analysis of 16 different studies on sugar and hyperactivity all came back with the same result: ’sugar does not affect the behaviour or cognitive performance of children’. If sugar does change something, it’s parental expectations of their children

The Sweet Truth. The sugar-hyperactivity myth is based on a single study from the mid 1970’s in which a doctor removed the sugar from one child’s diet and that child’s behavior improved. Since then, over a dozen larger studies have been conducted without proving sugar causes hyperactivity.

Love all the people in the notes who are like “well CLEARLY you haven’t had this anecdotal experience that totally invalidates the results of double-blind scientific studies”

So, fun story time.

For YEARS. My family used the excuse of “well you get so sugar high” to police what I and younger kids ate. Their reasoning was that I, when I was a kid, would consume this one specific cake at this club that my grandparents went to. And I would go fucking batshit.

I just figured out recently, after looking at cake recipes myself.

It was FUCKING ESPRESSO. It was a super rich chocolate cake. It was espresso powder. It wasn’t a “sugar high”. I was a nine year old being given CAFFEINE.
