Sorry I was harsh before, I would delete my last comment if I knew how. I used to be fat too and the only thing that worked for me was calorie counting. I hope you find some way to achieve your goals one way or the other.

I agree with this statement. Cutting people off from the internet in today's world is akin to cutting them off electricity. I also worry that while the West seems to be in complete agreement that harsh punishment on Russia is fair, it

If you read your own dubious source, you will see that your method has no way of working.

We are going to see a lot of these "AI-generated" products. This one in particular looks like 100% hype.

Your theory is quite illogical. Your premise is wrong - where did you get that estimate? -, but more importantly your fat cells aren't going to start dissolving if your blood has slightly higher oxygenation.

Title is very confusing. And there is no benchmark whatsoever to back up those claims.

This seems like a more proper comparison to the M1 Ultra that was announced today. Looking forward to independent benchmarks.

Very sad case, glad he is somehow getting his life back together. Should get reparation from the government for this fuck up too.

Your statement about US agricultural output appears to be incorrect; at least, it hit record export rates in 2021 [1]. And what you are saying about tourism is irrelevant, as the article clearly states that rice production fell by 20%, and

Sure, but if you want to qualify the "trust" to such minute detail, you can also do the same with traditional banking. I don't have to "trust" the banks, I have legal guarantees and transparency mandates enforced by

Did you not read the article? The lack of pesticides led to a disastrous collapse of yields for the farmers. It's also unclear how bad synthetic pesticides are, at least those scrutinized and commonly used in the EU for example.

What a mess. Reminds me of Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union. There is a lot of garbage science in the organic movement, this just shows the incredible trade-offs this ideology can have.

Yes. NATO started as an alliance with an existential purpose, meaning that each and every member felt that an attack on any of them would threaten their very existence. Its expansion after the fall of the Soviet Union was paradoxical, becau

I found it excellent. It summarizes the main paradox of crypto: if you make it truly decentralized, it costs too much and is useless as a mass medium of exchange, while also being a haven for fraud and theft. If you rely on any sort of ledg

The tech aspect of the sanctions deserve to be more scrutinized. The average Russian company certainly can pirate Windows (now legally), but now they have to worry about all sorts of backdoors and vulnerabilities that will expose them to th

That's a bad way to see it. First of all, proportionally they pay quite a lot of taxes because all their money goes into consumption. Depending on where you live, VAT can be up to 25% for example. Also, they are subjected to payroll ta

An interesting perspective. Based on this and other sources, it seems there is no way Ukraine's resistance lasts more than a few weeks at best. On the other hand, it's totally unclear what Russia thinks it will achieve in the long

When these things come up I always wonder, why do we believe what these services promise? For example, Duckduckgo is listed here and pretty much everywhere else as the best search engine for privacy, because they have a stated no-log policy

Never thought I would see "3090" and "most cost-effective" in the same sentence, and I own one.

You are correct about Trump pushing for the pledge. But what I meant is that in a broader sense, both his presidency and Brexit showed that mutual commitments can change according to short-term political will. If the UK can leave the EU, th

This is just posturing. There is no way that he will start WW3 over being blocked out of SWIFT. And no way that the military top command lets him do that either.

Ok, but by that logic refineries would also show the same pattern. I'm not aware that they do, although I'm having a hard time finding data to back this up.

This smelled like a hoax from day one. Embarrassing that it was so widely reported actually, people on Reddit were having orgasms about it for a day or two.

Germans have to pay more for gas because of Putin, not because of this investment. And I'm not saying there are no other issues, I'm saying that this should be a high priority right now. Germany is a very rich country. It can walk
