  • People are being brainwashed with crap like “calories in, calories out” or “exercise more” but that’s just bullshit. It pushes the idea that too much weight comes from a personality flaw and not health issues, but yet any actual (and by that, I mean proper) doctor will quickly search for medical reasons for weight gain because there’s a million of them.

    Genetics affects how the caloric intake is handled. It does not change the fact that adjusting caloric intake will directly adjust how much weight is even possible to gain.

    Studies concluded that the presence of these genes increases the risk of obesity but does not necessitate obesity. This risk can be ameliorated by healthy food choices, increased physical activity and avoiding other causes of obesity mentioned in this review.

  • I have used this card for a couple years.

    Pros:

    • five m.2 sata slots
    • single slot pcie, and short / not extending past top of slot
    • incredibly cheap
    • mine has been reliable
    • no extra power needed
    • no pcie bifurcation or other special motherboard features required (works in anything)
    • the individual drives do show up as individual drives in Debian for me and can be accessed separately (not a hardware raid card)

    Cons:

    • pcie 3.0x2 speed in an x16 slot (2GBps)
    • doesn’t support m.2 pci
    • doesn’t support booting from the installed drives

    If all you’re looking for is cheap, quiet, storage, and you don’t mind losing out on total read/write speeds, thisll actually do great just about anywhere.




  • I was in the army for a couple years, but I dont actually have any particularly impressive numbers from then. They had me doing sleepless night bullshit from day one, and I hate losing sleep with a passion, so I made sure to grab back every hour I could manage.

    The longest I ever stayed up was from 6am to 6pm, the next day, so about 36 hours or a single overnight stay. I hated it everytime it had to happen for work. The morning after staying up all night felt like I was drunk, and my ability to handle people and doing things was completely shot. The only time I ever got in trouble with my boss was when I was tired (up since 2am, actual event happened around 8pm that same day). I’m also quite sure I would’ve got into at least one fight with my commanding officer while sleep deprived if I actually had any inclination towards that sort of thing.

    Sleep deprivation completely kills my long term planning, my sensory management skills, my reflexes, and also deadens my ability to care, about anything.

    Despite all of this, I also hate taking naps. It fucks with my sense of time, and I’m always too worried about ‘missing out’ while trying to ever get any good rest from it. So have to fight for a good sleep schedule to stay sane instead.

    Everyone here is acting surprised at the size, or pretending that somehow, the ice makes it okay.

    Y’all. Own your shit. These look normal to me, and I totally skip out on the ice most all of the time. I usually finish a 16oz before I’m done with my meal.
