I'll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

Yeah I've already jailbroken this one. I'll probably replace the screen as someone else suggested, there's a very nice ifixit tutorial
First of all, I know this is not the kind of questions that usually are done in asklemmy but I don't know where to ask, sorry folks. It's a 5th generation kindle and I really loved reading on it. :( Bonus question if the kindle is doomed: best e-ink reader on the cheaper side? I don't want anything super powerful or fancy, I just want to load my collection with calibre and read on it. - bonus points if it's a libre and or open source friendly.

Yeah should've been more specific, I'm trying to get going with the r/bodyweightfitness 's recommended routine. Problem is I can't do reps of pull ups but I can do chin ups by hanging on the inner handles or the ones perpendicular to the wall. Can I do those (and which ones of the two) instead of pull ups till I can do proper pull ups?
And what about the inclined handles? Would they make pull ups easier or harder?
Basically I was asking what happens (i.e. what muscles I'm training and how hard) if I use the bar in the four ways I listed

It's actually installed very close to the ceiling so I can hang without bending so no dips with this for me :/

So less pullups (e.g. 1 at a time) are better than more chin ups (e.g. 5 at a time)? While doing chin ups am i not also training for pull ups?

But that makes the body not accumulate any more, but what about burning the already present excessive one?

Love books and huge fan of libraries but how do you find the right book in the ocean of books?
4 ways of using it come to my mind: - Place hands on the inclined outer handles and do a pull up with arms open wide - Place hands with palms facing the wall on the "inner" handles and do a pull up with arms at shoulder width - Place hands with palms facing my face on the "inner" handles and do a chin up - Place hand on the handles which point out of the wall and do a pull up / chin up (sorry don't know in this case) Are these excercises different for the group of muscles they target? And if so, how? Is there any ranking among them from worse to better? Also if I can do chin ups just fine but I can only do negative pull ups, which ones should I choose?

I see, any advice on burning fat then?

I get that diet is the most important thing for abs but, are there excercises to burn fat specifically in the abs area? I'm pretty fit and my weight is ok, or even a little below what I would want, but my abs are not visible

So you directly read papers on those topics? I tried doing that but I feel it requires a huge amount of background

How do you study languages? Any advice?
I'm referring to the human race evolving in the African continent and then migrating to the rest of the world. Evolving in Europe made people light skinned to account for the reduction in sunlight exposure, are there any other traits which other ethnicities developed to adapt to their new environment? Or are the diifferent traits in different ethnicities just stuff that developed by chance and got somehow reinforced because of the isolation between populations? This question came to my mind first thinking about "Asian eyes", do they serve any "purpose"?
Alternative title: Dinosaurs wouldn't be that big if they weren't that big
Any topic, just explain what it is please
I know evolution is governed by chance and it is random but does it make sense to "ruin" sleep if there's light? I mean normally, outside, you never have pure darkness, there are the moon and stars even at night. In certain zones of the Earth we also have long periods of no sunshine and long periods of only sunshine. I don't know if my question is clear enough but I hope so. Bonus question: are animals subject to the same contribution of light or lack of it to the quality of sleep?
The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
What I mean is: some boolean flags are perfect for the real world phenomenon they are representing e.g. is_light_on makes you understand perfectly that when it is true the light is on and when it is false the light is off. There are other cases in which if you didn't write the code and you don't read any additional documentation, everything is not clear just by looking at the variable name e.g. is_person_standing, when true it's clear what that means but when false, is the person sitting? Lying? Kneeling? I'm obviously not talking about cases in which there are more states, boolean would of course not be a good solution in those cases. I'm talking about programs in which there are only two states but it's not obvious, without external knowledge, which ones they are.

Would I receive notifications for new comments on posts I saved?
This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just "superstition"? Also, would it be better to have the head towards a window or away from a window, even if closed (e.g. in winter)? I'm basically asking whether there exist "recommendations" on how to structure a bedroom backed by science.
After reading the abstract of the paper mentioned [here](https://lemmy.world/post/11436624) I started wondering, why did human groups migrate away from southerner (warmer) places towards the north which is far colder and has less possibilities to grow crops and wild animals to hunt? Was the population density too high? And after they migrated, what did they mostly survive on? Were they hunters-gatherers? Did they cultivate? Was it not more difficult to survive in colder climates?
