For the things you mentioned, the vegan and gluten-free options are processed much more. Beef, for example, is arguably a “whole food.”

Gluten-free isn’t healthier unless you have specific conditions. Most people can handle gluten fine, and some vegan foods are primarily gluten (such as seitan).

Vegan isn’t inherently healthy, especially if your eating mostly processed foods. A primarily whole-food vegan diet is likely healthier and cheaper than most people’s diets though.

I mean helping seniors is important too. 1/3 have income below 200% of the poverty level, and the average SSI is $600/month.

But yeah, universal healthcare is a no-brainer.

Hmm, so looks like around 100kB/s. That’s about what I remember (100kB/s - 300kB/s).

I’ve recently been trying out Tribler, and it’s much faster than the last time I tried it (I’ve seen 2MB/s on popular torrents, but around 500kB/s on less popular). Not sure if there are simply more exit nodes with more bandwidth now or if there are more people on the Tribler network seeding.

According to the docs there’s some kind of search functionality built into it: https://github.com/BiglySoftware/BiglyBT/wiki/MetaSearch

Off-topic: I haven’t tried i2p in years and have never used BiglyBT. Out of curiosity, what download speeds are you seeing?

Looks nice and useful. I was thinking about doing something similar. Does not appear to be attached to the building? Posts look like they were covered with some kind of protection, sunk into holes, then back-filled with gravel?

Meh, some of my favorite shows and movies have a lot sex scenes. Sometimes, they just add realism or contribute to aesthetics. Other times they show personality, relationship dynamics, are symbolic of other things, or are important to the plot.

I don’t see sex scenes as any different than other potentially “unnecessary” scenes, like a long shot of a dripping faucet, for instance.

But, yeah, most sex scenes in games make me cringe.

It’s because elections are won on emotions and vibes, not “boring” policies, unfortunately.

I like the Turris Omnia and (highly configurable) Turris Mox. They come with OpenWrt installed.

He praised Trump, Vance, and other anti-union politicians in his speech. So, yes?

It’s the same, “enemy is simultaneously weak and strong” rhetoric characteristic of fascism.

Unless Harris signals clearly that she will no longer bankroll Israeli aggression against Palestinians and its regional neighbors, Netanyahu will continue to push the region toward war.

Harris is not the president, and may not ever be the president, so this will do nothing to stop Netanyahu. And I’m not sure Harris can publicly oppose Biden while working as his VP. I mean, she could, but I don’t know if it’s wise or what the consequences could be.

IDK, looks like 48GB cloud pricing would be 0.35/hr => $255/month. Used 3090s go for $700. Two 3090s would give you 48GB of VRAM, and cost $1400 (I’m assuming you can do “model-parallel” will Llama; never tried running an LLM, but it should be possible and work well). So, the break-even point would be <6 months. Hmm, but if Severless works well, that could be pretty cheap. Would probably take a few minutes to process and load a ~48GB model every cold start though?

There’s prediction markets and bookies making odds as well. People putting money on the line are probably a little more accurate than polls by themselves. Looks like people think the odds currently favor Harris, but not by a large margin. 50.9% chance for Harris and 47.1% for Trump (https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2024/08/09/harris-has-vaulted-past-trump-as-the-bookies-favorite-to-win-presidential-election/). IIRC, prediction markets significantly favored Clinton in 2016 right before the results came back though.

Tipping pizza delivery drivers is customary, and has been ever since I’ve been alive. They make around as much as wait staff in base-pay (minimum wage or less, depending on the state), and have to pay for their own car, gas, maintenance, etc. So, they depend on tips to survive. It’s stupid and exploitative, but that’s the way she goes.

This is likely just stock manipulation. Interview was in June, and just now released the day before TSMCs earnings report.

e/acc. The dumb MFs believe burning fossil fuels as fast as possible will lead to technological advancements to mitigate the problems. It’s all wishful thinking and convienant blind faith.

Yeah, without strong global cooperation (good luck on that), I would think reducing demand of fossil fuels (or, I guess we’re only reducing growth of demand right now), will just make fossil fuels cheaper, and some countries won’t hesitate to take advantage of that. I think “The Green Paradox” talks about this.

Lol, good catch.

Wary of the bill. Seems like every bill involving stuff like this is either designed to erode privacy or for regulatory capture.
