My cousin wrote the failure case throttle control algorithms. He must have been sweating bullets.

Keep us posted if this improves. That's the kind of thing that would drive me batshit.

Some of it is just age. The days go slower but the years go faster.

For this kind of bullshit, I'd rather not be.

So that 85 Euro thing that goes on your phone is supposed to block EM radiation in a 20 foot sphere. I wonder how they explain the phone working, then...

Lower quality inverters are only +/- 80% efficient. If batteries have a lot of cycles on them they could have lost capacity. The batteries probably don't allow themselves to charge or drain to their full extremes, either, to prevent degradation. Most lithium batteries are designed to be "empty"...

Testosterone is a steroid, and essentially universally used. Anyone taking stronger stuff is also taking it. You can restart your natural production, but the difficulty and restart period is more or less directly proportional to how long you were taking it exogenously. At least in combat sports...

Fair. I'm still reticent to pull the trigger on OLED because 95% of my screen time is on work software with necessary static elements and I'm not going to jump through a bunch of hoops to dodge burn-in.

Shit, that's tempting. I have a mismatched 1440p main monitor and random 1080p as my second. Would be nice to have a matched pair and kick the old one down to the kids. I'm assuming tech has improved enough that this is better than my 2017 XB270HU? You find the contrast good? That was an...

Food for thought, @Bandwagon. The danger of infrequently used surfaces becoming permanent clutter catchers is quite real.

Because what you're claiming is confidently incoherent and facile.

Right, so like I said before you're claiming that the entire investing world is willfully passing up a high-return low-risk strategy, which is a choice that loses money, in order to not lose money.

So are these trivially accessible increased returns low risk or high risk? It sure seems like you're advocating to adopt more risk and only counting the upside. That's the kind of strategy that works great until it doesn't.

You're saying they intentionally lose client money by willfully foregoing reliably available returns in order to keep from losing client money?

You should be fine with your current router if it currently meets your needs for features and reliability. Its rated bandwidths are at least double what your provider delivers.

I've used one. They get a lot of dirt out of fabrics and rugs but don't remove stains as well as you'd want. Might be more effective with hot water and soap in the reservoir, but I've never gone that far. Handheld versions take forever to clean any appreciable area.

Lol, WTF. 4000 nits is literally <10x my current monitor, which I already set to 1/4 brightness so I don't go blind. Edit: I guess it's for HDR and not to permanently burn an Excel grid into your retina.

It's typically a five-year clawback period.

Dude's gross pay is in the neighborhood of $165k. He apparently just can't do the basic arithmetic to understand how much house he can actually afford and/or what lifestyle he can afford given his house. Plus he's a moron for buying a house at 30-50% more than what it apparently costs to rent...

How many kWh and where are you? That's close to double what I pay during non-AC months in Los Angeles for a 2300 sqt ft 3/2 with a pool and an EV.

Your preference. If you want the cleanliness of a table saw you can do partial cuts there and finish on the bandsaw or with hand tools. Or just the bandsaw is fine to save steps.

Derp, you're right. I meant to say that it had enough energy break bonds in DNA. If UV were truly ionizing the world would be a veeery different place. If it makes him feel any better, my wife laughed.

That chart is entirely consistent with the standard medical narrative on sun exposure. Skin cancers, like many other types, take multiple decades to manifest. In 2024 the average melanoma patient is 66. Their primary exposures would have come in the 80's and earlier. People who were born post...

I was sub-30 Vit D despite swimming laps outdoors for ~3 hours a week and sporting a decent tan. Supplements brought me right back to normal. (Not that I can say I really felt a difference.)

Yup, that would do it. Some quick googling says 6-12 months, unfortunately. I'd stay the course and get tested later in the year. You didn't mention sleep, but I'd make a serious point of getting at least 8 hours a night. Sleep is probably the most important health lever that people regularly...

Sleep, stress, exercise all on point? Alcohol? Fucking up those can tank your hormone levels pretty reliably. Also, 2023 - 2017 = 6 years. Brain fog indeed.

Then get vintage tools made with real steel and iron (knowing that they may require some refurbishment and maintenance) or go mid/upmarket new. Many of the big box and budget brands are all repackaged output of the same factory and share the same problems. I went low/mid range on my first saw...

Budget is probably the biggest factor here. For new, premium gear the influencer space seems to gravitate towards SawStop and Harvey recently, and while I've not seen anyone complain about quality you have to assume that's largely driven by $$. If/when I upgrade I'll still consider SawStop...

They tried to fuck me like that too when I was in Atlanta. A bunch of neighbors and I got together and complained and they ended up reducing to like a 4% increase. Don't take that shit lying down. It sucks but the assessors have incentives to throw out bullshit and see what sticks due to owner...

That's not even the disturbing part. I'd rather have ground fresh pigeon in my grain than who knows how much pigeon shit from the ones that didn't get sucked in.

I am enjoying this very much. Running buttery smooth with DLSS at 1440p on my aging 2070 super.

Pretty interesting test of sawhorse strength. Friction on the base of the legs makes an order of magnitude difference in how much weight they support. You can pretty much park two cars on a good one scaled up, which surprised me.

I've had good luck with the CitriStrip paint remover you can get at any home center. Just make sure you ventilate your garage in the process. You can also try using a heat gun to warm up the paint and see if it will peel off.

From which we can conclude very little, other than that there is a broad range of diet that supports elite athleticism. We're talking across each other here. I agree with you that the current state of knowledge is uncertain and that we already know enough for most people to make significant...

Meh. Nothing that broad is that simple. Are some whole foods better than others? In what combinations or proportions? For everyone, doing every kind of activity? Are there tradeoffs between performance, domains of health, and longevity? Etc.

No, I'm saying that it's possible to make statements that are true enough to be useful in improving people's lives. It's hard and we've not done a great job of it yet, but that's not a reason to stop trying. Actually understanding how the human body works and giving us the ability to improve...

It's not impossible. If you get a sufficiently large study population (say, thousands to tens of thousands) those factors will either wash out or can be accounted for in the analysis. Of course, when making a recommendation to an individual on the basis of research you need to be aware that...

With large enough samples, well-designed studies over long enough periods of time, and a careful and cautious interpretation of the results, of course it is. It's just really hard and expensive to do and requires enormous patience, so we haven't had great information yet.
