a barrel of oil is equivalent to around twenty-five thousand man hours of work. sacrificing that would result in a colossal hit to quality of life. and ironically, the additional people needed to mitigate that might actually result in more

"just use less" is a very prescriptive line that i rarely find accompanied by concrete ideas on how to do so without huge reductions in welfare and quality of life. past some point, we must consider how highly we value the habitat

i am not, nor have i ever been, employed by apple. i use none of their products as my primary devices. stop breaking the forum rules.

yes, i primarily use an android phone. nearby share is janky and terrible. additionally, the fact that it's not built in everywhere is a ding from the standpoint of an end user.

okay but this "interoperability" is legitimately hard without degrading the user experience because apple's unique level of control allows it to produce a superior product with more consistency. airdrop is best-in-class; open

you already have to do this to get certain apple services (including imessage) working on hackintoshes. turns out there's a really easy work-around: guess-and-check serial numbers on apple's web site until one works. they rate lim

this is my napkin math read as well, but aspirin is an inhibitor of both COX-1 and 2 with somewhat higher affinity for the former. this leaves you messing with something else that's important for regulating platelets, your gut, etc. ev

because the FDA are sticks-in-the-mud who get blowback when they approve something bad and but barely hear anything if they delay or restrict something good. there was also a to-do about celecoxib potentially increasing risk of heart attack

you have two problems with new formulations though. one is lead-free solder seldom works as well as the box claims. two, antimony is somewhat concerning from a toxicity standpoint though i'd say less than lead i wonder if we don't

i just set mine to 1gb on creation and have never had space issues besides one time when i had to have an obscene number of different kernels bc reasons. not sure why distros default to spending less than 0.1% of disk space on a boot part.

it turns out you don't actually have to spend a lot on marketing a miracle weight loss drug, word spreads pretty well on its own. lots of companies spend lots of money on promoting drugs and basically none every go viral like this. you

does quinn want companies to run large, expensive servers to do inference with no compensation? half the reason you're using services is because the hardware to do it locally isn't cheap. idk why he's kvetching about this whe

you don't actually want to nuke your IGF-1. it's important for metabolism, maintaining muscle tissue (also important for health in old age), and general quality of life. this is a lifespan versus healthspan thing, sort of like a l
