Microwave your shoes for 5 seconds, kill that chip. ;) For everything else, no idea.

The big wake up call for me was a few years earlier. I had just hit 130Kg (285+ pounds) and I had just had enough of it all! By the time I had COVID earlier this year I was down to around 90Kg (198 pounds) - I get the feeling that helped o

This is something I have to remind people of all the time - usually I just get blank stares. Forget the dollars and cents tokens on wealth, they can and are manipulated but intentionally and unintentionally. How much energy and resources th

I am in the camp of we are in overshoot, have been for a very long time. In the same way that a someone can spend way above their income by using the credit card. Looks great now but that looming cloud of debt is coming. Societal wise we h

That is a fair analysis of the situation. Producing better produce is the better path forwards and it is where we should be going. But in taking short cuts there are the four horsemen of flavor - Salt, Fats, Carbs and Sugar. A little is goo

It is an interesting question. It is clear that some of these these alternatives can stand on fairly similar price points without subsidies - other more newer players, not so much. I'm thinking things like Beyond meat that simply do no

It is fascinating seeing folks flocking to these new meat alternatives not knowing about the neat stuff that had already been produced decades before. Here in Australia - I still think the crown champion is the Not Burger by Veggie Delights

Which is why it tastes so good! Shame really. Like restaurant vegetables - taste great but the secret is a ton of salt and sugar.

While the app was rubbish, it did stir up some interesting questions. I do wonder about where the biggest critics of it are now? There was the whole issue of slowly taking peoples rights with the assumption that they would never come back -

It is one of those things. There is the idea that one day we will make an AI that is far superior to us, and yet current AI seems to be hopelessly reflective of biological being that create them. Some something make something more than it s

All that does is decrease the value of the dollar. A trillion new tokens on energy and resources has been made but not 1 single gram of material or 1 watt of energy has been added to the system by this move.

While there are a thousand little caveats and technical details on this, essentially the spending power of the future will be reduced. For the poor, this is a big problem. For the rich folks (almost anyone reading this) it is more of an inc

Gad to see they have already thought of my first guess. Gases raising from the sea bed. Could be something as boring as that.

And, it is amazing just how much you do not miss it. Once the stream of news is gone - you wonder why you ever fell into it in the first place. I am in the same boat with other people bringing the important news. Some times it might actuall

I was the same. I would download the games and then start messing around with the code/variables. By breaking things, I learned how they worked. Self taught myself to program via this meathod. I still used QB4.5 occasionally to bash ou

There was show on here a few days ago (The dark side of the 90's) all about the Beenie Baby craze. It funny that they covered the website that was pitched by 2 teenagers with only a few days work and eventually approved. Needless to sa

There are a few places lurking in the shadows of social media that the algorithms never touch, where the freak flags still fly. When you stumble across those hidden gems, it is something magical.

I'm in the same camp as you. Running an T420 instead. ;) My phone is a top-low end phone or a low-mid end Oppo A 53? Or something like that. It does everything I need with loads of head room. Will just run it until death.

Yeah... nah. Simply on CICO (well more just monitoring CI) I have lost 40Kg/90 Pounds over the last 5 years. It does work.

The pessimist in me thinks it will never happen. That said, I'm in Australia and our recent government change is starting to make major changes in the space of renewables. It gives me a since of optimism about government I haven't

Spot on. I see these things poping up and it does look bad, but we have the remember that the current power system is worse.

I am sort of in a middle ground on this. Hydrocarbons are near magic in terms of their physical properties and electric, as it stands currently, have major problems replacing them in some situations (aviation/shipping). I don't th

I would suspect it is a case that folks just aren't looking hard enough yet. There is also the massive fragmentation in the ARM space. Something like M1/M2 being a much more consistent target. It could also just be that they have

There is only one reason I would hope it is a lab leak. A lab leak is a mistake that theoretical can be controlled via more stringent systems. It is something that has a limited footprint in terms of initial infection vector. If something l

I have been one of the more negative folks on SpaceX over the years - there are still big issues with some of their bigger long term claims, however... they sure are doing a damn good job nowadays of just getting to business and making it h

That said I am always surprised when I see local stuff that is of high caliber. It always feels like it is a little guys proving it on the world stage. That said... Little city!? I surprised that folks would see this place as small. I would
