Plastic-cutting thread screws can also be great for this; the threads have higher pitch and wide spacing, but aren't as deep as a wood screw. The <1000-pack selection on Small Parts / Amazon can be slim, but in the last year Bambu started selling small packs for reasonable prices.
I did this and lost 18% of my body weight (BMI 36 to 29) after reading Gary Taubes. It works. The resulting blood chemistry worried my doctor.
Worse, it’s excruciatingly boring. The 60th serving of fatty steak is no longer delicious. I lusted for a crouton. Even onions are a cheat in a glycemic load regime.
When I was single, strategies like having no sugar, alcohol, or refined carbs in the house were practical, but living with a family and especially with young kids, they really aren’t.
I regained it all and more. I’ve made follow-on efforts and had several +/- 30lb swings.
I started tirzepatide three months ago. I echo what others have said above: I never understood satiety before this. Keeping keto takes excruciating willpower in comparison. I now know what it feels like to eat 3/4 of a normal dinner with balanced macros and not think about food till lunchtime the next day.
There’s a big difference between maintaining constant vigilance against desire and having none.

This is exactly the case I make for fasting to those who ask why I like it. Nothing to count. It's super effective, much easier than people assume, and very quick. Also gives you a ton of energy and focus.
Have a look at Pixelblaze. It's a subset of JS on an ESP32 with no compilation - you code in a web browser and the LEDs just render live. I've done plenty of Arduino; this sidesteps the mundane getting-started knowledge base.
This $6 37-LED mini hexagonal board is a fun starting point, cheaper than most strips and matrices:
I'm bradgessler's cofounder. We were promised support in an email. That statement about lack of support for paid customers was added after we paid them and experienced the 3-5 day turnaround times. As I recall, the tickets were mostly us reporting defects.
Hmm. "Company Rep" "Garry Tan" said Posterous would support hosted CF scripts a year ago. Glad to finally hear you're releasing these critical new features.
Indeed Stonebreaker is a living legend. Entrepreneurs may find it interesting that he is currently pitching VCs a commercial venture to augment his latest DB project, http://scidb.org/ (much like Cloudant is to Couch)
"VoltDB is an independent, Boston area-based company co-founded by DBMS R&D pioneer Mike Stonebraker and startup veteran Andy Palmer, working in stealth mode on the next-generation of OLTP DBMS."
So it's a biased legend. Sincerely if one is investing a lot in something like VoltDB this buzz about NoSQL DBs and especially the fact that they are starting to be actually used to get work done can be a problem.
