I recently realized that you can turn off Netflix preview auto-play through the web app. This setting isn't shown in my smart TV app but turning it off in the web app carries through to other devices.

This reminded me of pirating a Game of Thrones episode when I was a customer of HBO. My wife and I signed up for HBO max to watch the final season as it was airing. The quality turned out to be pathetically poor. During the Battle of Winter

Agreed on throwing plastic away. It's safer in a landfill than having it sold to a SE Asian country where it may be dumped in the ocean or burned out in the open. Plastics can safely wait in our landfills until the day comes when it ma

Trading is not investing, which this guy completely does not understand. He says that he still doesn't believe in diversification and that it's not the answer. The answer to what? If we're talking about building a long-term p

I like this site for COVID data: https://covidactnow.org/ At a glance, infection rates and vaccination rates seem to be uncorrelated at best.

I agree with your comment in theory but I'd say that only applies over a long-enough horizon. At any given point in time when someone enters the market, there's a fixed supply. Sure, someone could commission the construction of th

The comment is not referring to whether they are associated, but by how much, i.e., effect size. These type of studies aren’t very useful anyway because nutrition is super complex and full of interacting variables. It’s much more likely th

There is this thing called a pause button. Which basically invalidates the whole concept of “bite-sized” entertainment to begin with. My biggest deterrent from streaming video away from home is data usage, not the length of the content.

I think calling nutrition is a pseudoscience is a huge disservice. It’s a rapidly growing science in its nascency. Older research suffers greatly from “correlation is not causation”. That’s the reason that ideas like “saturated fat is bad”

I encourage you to google “biological sex isn’t real” and acquaint yourself with this line of thinking. Radical gender theory does in fact make the bold claim that biological sex isn’t real. That’s right, sex, not gender. The postmodernist

The majority of adderall breaks down through the urea cycle due to urine acidity. Enzymes don’t play as significant a role as they do for other drugs. That’s why baking soda is the best potentiator for amphetamines, as it neutralizes urine

Also, you only need about 400 samples for 95% confidence on a proportion at the highest variance point of p1 = . 0.50. It used to drive me nuts when my CEO used to say “10 clicks out of 10,000 on this A/B test is in the noise”. No, th

There are supplements, backed by research, that practically remove all of the negative side effects of adderall. To start with, the sadness you felt on vyvanse sounds like dopamine depletion. You want to be taking l-tyrosine to make sure th
