That’s hardly useless. If everyone is blonde haired and blue eyed hetero etc. they have even more justification to cut programs that benefit anyone outside this demographic.

I think even that gives them too much credit. It’s just incompetence.

The US “did 9/11” by interfering with global affairs for decades until one of those schemes finally backfired.

I don’t think there’s any conspiracy necessary beyond that to explain everything.

I don’t get the last one and feel pretty dumb at the moment.

Screwball, crackpot… leaky faucet?

I did watch the video, it’s pretty good. He’s discussing the motivators behind overeating. He points out in the beginning that CICO is something that cannot be violated due to thermodynamics (incorrectly saying it’s the second law when he means first), but where the CICO approach fails is in addressing the obesity epidemic.

Ultimately, it is a personal decision to consume food. The genetic difference is in how hard this is. Genetics does not affect the physics at play. If you consume fewer calories than you expend, you will lose weight. There are no genetics that will permit you to derive more calories from food than what is consumed. Period.

Sometimes you just have to embrace the ascetic part of dieting and just suffer. Life is suffering anyhow, so you might as well make peace with it. It’s okay to be hungry, just like it’s okay to be bored. We’re not supposed to be satiated 24/7.

Please note I’m not saying over or under weight people are somehow worse people than those who are fit because they have poor willpower or something like that. We all have our problems, and everyone deserves respect as we navigate this fucked up life.

The thing is, nobody is going to be able to solve your problems except you. There is no pill that will fix your diet, and it’s not your genetics that put the food in your mouth. Genetics can make you want to eat, but you can choose not to act on this impulse. It can be trained just like anything else. The only lasting solution lies within, whether that’s learning how to deal with not giving into your hunger pangs, or forcing yourself to eat when you’re not hungry, or just learning to love yourself as you are.

Prove what? I’m merely relaying the info from the article you didn’t read.

Yeah I hate when food and drink gets teleported into my mouth

HEVC is damn efficient. I don’t even bother with HD because a 4K HDR encode around 5-10GB looks really good and streams well for my remote users.

If you read RTINGS before buying a TV and setting it up in your room, you already knew this. Screen size and distance to TV are important for determining what resolution you actually need.

Most people sit way too far away from their 4K TV.

I’m just pointing out that it’s not IR blocking, it’s IR reflecting.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago (9 children)

The idea is it reflects IR and blows out the exposure.

Yeah, you might as well turn off your antivirus and firewall seeing as those can be bypassed by a skilled actor anyways.

Great, now keep going down the questions I posed.

The point I’m making is that this paint won’t do a thing except cost money.

 

Snapped this while flying across the US recently.

Whenever I try to Select Text, it only pops up a few millimeters at the bottom of the screen. I can pull it up a few more and copy the whole text and work with that, but this isn’t how it used to function. I can no longer see the text and select snippets from there to copy.
