Is Nix really so important to the world that it needs a constitutional assembly, a board of directors, and general elections?

I always gathered that it was a niche project within the niche of Linux distro projects.

Is it a bunch of people playing out a company governance fantasy or is it actually a large, well valued company? I think that the vast majority of people wouldn't even be able to make an informed voting decision.

I am also quite out of the loop I feel...

You needed that much time before TV to travel the US because it was so large. With the information overload age, that is definitely not a problem anymore as everyone can see every rally and debate remotely

Yes with inflation games are proportionately less, but let's also not forget that wages have stagnated while inflation has ballooned. People literally aren't earning much than they were in the 90s (well, the average person, the inflation money has gone to the dragons). The price of games relative to mean wage is fairly consistent IIRC.

But yeah everything else is pretty true. And we all look back on games as kids with rose colored glasses. I remember when majoras mask was photorealistic to me almost!

Hahaha true, but even your sources only say that it is healthy "to some degree" because it does indeed have limited vitamins and minerals (very low potassium, calcium, and not much else besides sugar (though by weight not as much), just a ton of water which most people don't drink enough of. It's not bad per say, just delicious and not too much to it. Still, way better as a dessert than almost any treats!

For sure! It really depends on where you are in the world. Here in Belgium, black beans are more expensive and not in most German-owned grocery stores and white beans are everywhere. Chickpeas are always easy to find most places it seems. Lentils are also harder to find, but once you do that here are some lentil tricks:

Red and black lentils: boil for 15 minutes MAX otherwise they will turn to mush. Use smoked paprika, bay leaf, tumeric, black pepper, in the water. Add salt in the beginning

Green lentils: boil for 20-25 minutes. Season with paprika, bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Add salt at minute 15, otherwise they take longer to cook.

General beans and lentils. Look into a ton of middle eastern and indian foods as lentils and beans are staples there.

Minamalist baker website and Soph's plant kitchen have a TON of banging recipes. Pretty much any salad can be improved with black beans, chickpeas, or white beans depending on the style. Any sort of minced meat sauces can be replaced by mushrooms and lentils. Black beans + sweet potatoes are also a great combo and it is very easy to meal prep things like Buddha bowls and grain bowls for lunches.

I have no extra drive of the capacity of my system. Maybe I should just go with hetzner or backblaze

Drawing tablet drivers!

To be fair, it actually does work out of the box, but shortcut mapping doesn't really work well outside of the buttons on the pen itself and pressure curves isn't customizable yet, at least on KDE.

Oh boy, one of these... Someone just trying to justify foods that they like.

Antioxidant people are ridiculous. Studies have shown marginal results at best for anti oxidant rich diets IIRC. A nice benefit, but not something to base a lifestyle around...

Peanut butter is NOT a good source of protein unless you are trying to bulk or have a high fat diet. If you sort foods by protein per 100 calories or similar, nut butters drop off the list. Wheat bread literally has more protein than peanut butter. Beans and lentils have the same protein at a fraction of the calories. Not to mention that many peanut butters are made with palm oil with high saturated fat to keep costs down.

100g of Almonds literally have the same amount of fiber as 120g of black beans with more than 3x the calories and significant cost difference.

By this person's reasoning, why is Tofu, wheat bread, raspberries (the food with the highest fiber per calorie of any food I have found), tempeh, etc... Not on the list while tomatoes, oranges, lemons, and watermelon, which is literally sugar water. Don't get me wrong, I love and eat all of them, but it is not a health super food to "eat every day." They are fine, but they aren't pinnacles of nutrition... They add flavor, texture, and acid to dishes to round them out, and because they are good sources of flavor, you don't need a ton of them to build a meal. They aren't a source of nutrition. You aren't going to eat 10 large tomatoes in a sitting to get less protein and fiber than a small bowl of legumes...

When you list 35 foods, you are just listing a broad portion of foods you like. What is the point of this besides half of it being pseudoscience "miracle compounds" inside chosen foods like this crap:

which, among other useful traits, may stimulate collagen synthesis to keep skin looking supple.

Just eat lots of all sorts of vegetables, berry fruit, eggs, and beans and lentils, and try a bunch of different recipes from different cultures and you will be healthy and have a wide variety of flavors to not bore you. It is not complicated and you don't have to follow blog lists...

I really never understand why right wing governments without exception choose to not only hinder, but actively remove green energy. Like, I get hindering it because they are all owned by fossil fuel oligarchs, but actually spending taxpayer money to dismantle it makes no sense whatsoever. It is already there, just ignore it??? There is literally no downside to just ignoring it. If the right shut the fuck up about green energy and just went with it, they could solve half of their impending "immigrant problem" and could focus effort on fucking up and making other parts of the country worse like they want... Plus if climate change ends up not being "a hoax" 🙄, then they get to continue being parasites instead of their nationalism and identity falling apart as the world does.

I moved over 4000 miles away with overseas shipping on a pallet that traveled about half the distance in a truck by land.

Here is how I did it:

GPU in its original box since that was made for sea shipping.

HDDs taken out, wrapped in foam, and put in boxes.

Other components stayed in the case, but the case was filled with large air pocket packing material to support the air cooling block. Computer was then put in the original case box and stored with the orientation of the cooling block vertical. The side to side movement is eliminated with the packing material and less stress was placed. Safer yet would be to remove the cooler if it is air.

If you have a glass side panel, make sure it is surrounded by packing material.

That is it! Everything arrived in perfect condition except for some books which got wet from the humid saltwater air in an enclosed space.

I managed to kill mint that was in a big planting pot. We had a very hot and dry spell and it just didn't come back the next year. I was flabbergasted.

Also in my new house, animals ate the mint all the way to the ground. Never had that happen before!
