Part of the problem is simply defining ultra-processed foods.
The new CDC report used the most common definition based on the four-tier Nova system developed by Brazilian researchers that classifies foods according to the amount of processing they undergo. Such foods tend to be “hyperpalatable, energy-dense, low in dietary fiber and contain little or no whole foods, while having high amounts of salt, sweeteners and unhealthy fats,” the CDC report said

Yeah from what I read about him, Bautista actually put in some serious work to be a decent actor

noblesse oblige* (which means literally "nobility obliges"). And the idea is that as a noble, you should behave with nobility, which includes caring for the people you hold power over, and generally the poors.

But people abiding by this concept would probably have seen nothing wrong with the fact that some people are born into poverty, with someone lording over them, and that it was basically impossible for them to ever become nobles. So, not quite "from everybody according to their abilities" , imo.

As a french person concerned about climate change :

I figured that could be the reason, like with the various ways soldiers find to carry their rifles more comfortably, but I just don't understand the physics of it here. Pulling on a backpack straps, I get, you are basically offloading the weight from your back and into your arms (and, as you said, bringing it higher to make it a little more comfortable to wear), but here it looks like it would just strain your neck and possibly your back even more since there are plates on both sides (which I assume is the heaviest, most "problematic" parts of the vest regarding comfort).

Guess I need to wear some body armor to understand it, physics and biomechanics do be weird sometimes.

Also, yes, but it is ridiculous how they seemingly can't stand up for 5 seconds without striking that pose. Or cowboy-style hands on the belt holster, etc.

I swear these guys (and a lot of police/military too) just take these jobs so they can wear a bulletproof jacket and do that pose in the article pic to "look cool" and make their arms look bigger

Thought so too (damn I read that a long time ago now) but apparently it was Oceania. Which the UK was actually a part of in-universe.

I basically never boot into windows except to play these anti cheat games with friends anyway, so I'll just bite the bullet and deal with rebooting twice just to change OS to play the beta, but yeah it's a weird ass requirement especially since it is apparently quite easy to exploit some vulnerable signed drivers to inject shit into memory anyway.

Imo John Wick is definitely on the same levels as batman there. Dude has some reality-bending gadgets too and beyond human levels of training/endurance.

It's not a windows issue, BF6 has a some requirements for their anti cheat including secure boot and TPM

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (7 children)

Fuck, I'm gonna have to enable secure boot (and use windows) to play the BF6 open beta, am I gonna get the same buillshit ?

If it doesn't affect my Linux drives I don't care much tbh, I'll probably just nuke windows and reinstall it
