It depends how you define "short period of time". When I started, I lost 40kg in a matter of 5 months. Is that short? If you develop a tolerance to the product, then it doesn't protect you long term from gaining back weight,

I don't know, I tend to notice the effect wears off over time. Not sure it's a good idea to consume it permanently. Perhaps a better use would be for short periods to course correct.

in fact this is the first time I even hear about it, and I am semi-IT litterate. The prevalence of a compression standard is about how ubiquitous it is. For that one, I would vote "not even on the radar yet".

An even worse example is the last name "de Broglie", which I think most French natives would likely get wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k45IZDkg2Pg

The water is "so clean" that you have mandatory showers before going in... But it's France, so how would you live without pointless regulations?

Video files aren't a good analogy. Before God placed VLC and ffmpeg on earth, you had to install a galaxy of codecs on your computer to get a chance to read a video file and you could never tell exactly what codec was stored in a conta

But where the analogy with USB-C is very good is that just like USB-C, there is no way for a user to tell from the look of the port or the file extension what the capabilities are. Which even for a fairly tech savvy user like me is frustrat

The malware doesn’t send all the content of the wallet to itself, it just replaces the recipient address in the clipboard (so you wouldn’t notice unless you checked the address). The 100k I think are cumulatively, though if it is 9btc, it’s

Not that remote, seems to be less than a 100km away from an airport, a short helicopter ride. Surely someone must have visited the site to figure out what's underneath the vegetation.

And honestly if you do a proper diet to lose serious weight, you are going to save much of that in food. If you are not doing a diet, then you have no business taking those products.

The best solution in my opinion is to buy 5y old, used, server motherboards and CPUs (like AMD Epyc 3 right now). They are fairly cheap, it is durable products designed to work 24/7, and it comes with a huge number of PCIe lanes and ex

Yes and no. I have been using NAS for a long time, and I use older drives as offline/offsite backups. So the cost is mostly amortized already. Those machines are off except once a week (local)/ once a month (offsite), to do an inc

For large datasets, the cost of that is like rebuying your NAS every 9-12 months.
