Last time I tried out linux (Earlier this year) I had to give up on it because my system would occasionally freeze to the point I needed to do a hard reset. I thought it was a hardware issue, but it ended up being a linux amd driver issue.

Despite the article title being technically true but misleading it was an interesting read. These really are just ankle monitors that were redesigned during the Biden administration to look less obvious to other people to reduce the stigma.

There was a paragraph about AI somewhere in the middle. > The AI efficiency narrative provides the perfect cover for these layoffs. Companies can frame headcount reduction as “leveraging AI to increase productivity” or “optimizing for th

I have a big phone in order to display more actual content, not because I want more whitespace. Scrolling may be easy, but it’s still harder to quickly skim content if you have to scroll more.

I'm not saying things aren't a mess and that some shelves won't go empty. However, it is worth noting that CEOs also have a vested interest in trying to reduce tariffs. And they would absolutely fearmonger if they thought it

It’s perfectly logical. Even if the company doesn’t intentionally have sesame in their product, what if one of their suppliers gives them sesame tainted flour or something? If they don’t have a ‘May contain sesame’ warning then they might l

Considering the article mentions ReCET and semaglutide, presumably most people in the study weren't resuming the unhealthy diet. Semaglutide is ozempic. By itself it can be enough to help people get their A1C down through healthier die

> was the feeling of hunger due to drastic reduction in portion size? While that was sometimes the case, it wasn't always so. Sometimes the feeling of hunger was almost random, and certainly stronger than it should have been. This w

I'm with you on this, tirzepatide has been life changing for me. I've struggled with my weight my whole life and I can actually imagine a future where I lose enough that I'm no longer ashamed of my weight. I've been on t

I feel lucky that doesn't bother me when watching his videos. I can sympathize with you somewhat though, because the Food Wishes channel drives me insane for a similar reason. (Chef John has mentioned he speaks that way for his videos

I just finished watching his purple gold video and he looked at, but didn't buy, the vacuum forge for that video. I'd actually find it cool if he did a shorter video revisiting the purple gold with his additional experience and th

Just as AceJohnny said, the scope of this is entirely different. Restoring a backup for an internal project costs time/resources that the company can easily handle. If it became a problem it would be easy for github to tell their inter

While I don't know of any washers/dryers with them, heat pumps can be more than 200% efficient, so there's still potential for improvements there in theory. Though to be honest I agree with your point. A lot of the low hangin

I don't see how the union was doing any worthwhile work for me back when I was making minimum wage at a grocery store. All I saw was that they wanted to skim hundreds of dollars off my meager paychecks every year.

Nowadays when I work downtown I'll sometimes take a leisurely lunch that involves walking to a restaurant, ordering food, waiting for it, eating it, and then returning. That can take me up to an hour if things are really slow. Back the

I like the idea of unions more than the reality. My first job was earning minimum wage working full-time at Safeway. After working there for about 9 months I quit because I didn't want to pay union dues to join the union. I was already

Are you sure there’s not similar situations in Europe? I’m sure the healthcare situation over there helps a lot, but it looks like there’s still groups of people living in tents in some places. https://www.politico.eu/articl
