I’m pretty sure a single atom could completely convert to energy, as in perfect E=mc^2 with no losses, and you still wouldn’t notice.

This study says that standing for more than two hours increases risk of certain things like blood clots. It also says sitting for a whole shift is bad, and you should be moving every 30 minutes. This does not mean standing desks are useless; I’m not standing for my circulatory system, I’m standing for my back. I also don’t stand for an entire shift, that’s what’s great about the memory settings. I’ll switch back and forth depending on what I feel like doing. Sometimes I’ll have it on “sit” all day, other times I’m switching back and forth quite a bit. I don’t think they’re useless, nor do I think it’s some health miracle, but it does give me more flexibility and I don’t think I’d go without after having used one.

Time spent standing was not associated with CVD risk but was associated with higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk. Time spent sitting above 10 h/day was associated with both higher orthostatic circulatory disease and major CVD risk. The deleterious associations of overall stationary time were primarily driven by sitting. Collectively, our findings indicate increasing standing time as a prescription may not lower major CVD risk and may lead to higher orthostatic circulatory disease risk.

Direct play should take very little CPU regardless of media quality, I can have multiple 4K streams going and my utilization is <10% on a Cameron J3455 (4c/4t Apollo Lake). When you’re direct playing it’s more a factor of HDD/network speed and the client than anything server side.

Is it just that one file?

How about the dryer door, does it open to the middle of the two or to the side?

How do the doors open? Every front load set I’ve seen comes from the factory with the doors set up to open to opposite sides, making washer left and dryer right by design. You can usually flip the dryer door for stacking but if you had them reversed they’d be right in the way, dividing both sides.

Curious what you find out. I can’t say I’ve had an issue direct playing anything on any device really. What you describe sounds exactly like seeking while transcoding though, that’s a pain in the ass and I just don’t do it. Direct play all the way.

Saying “orientated” rather than “oriented”. There’s no need for that extra “ta” in the middle, it’s a useless syllable.

Can’t say I’ve experienced this myself. Are you transcoding? That’s the only time I have some issues with rewinding. Figure out why you’re not direct playing. There’s no buffering or issues with seeking if you’re direct playing. Jellyfin won’t really help in this circumstance.

It shouldn’t be buffering at all if you’re direct playing.

It doesn’t have any more potential side effects than any other vaccine. It’s not special in this regard.

Because without a larger pool of karma to detract from, it doesn’t matter HOW unpopular any singular post is.

Voting is there to sort posts and comments, not to rate a user. Having a larger pool of karma serves no purpose.

Heat is the killer for car batteries too; much to my surprise, I had to buy far more in south Texas than upstate New York. Cold makes batteries less capable, but heat accelerates degradation dramatically.

Not an active case, but it has been detected in recent times.

I’ve reconstituted a ton of lyophilized vials of controls for medical lab analyzers. Interesting to hear about how they’re made, thanks for sharing.

I’m pretty sure the only actual use cases are berries and fruits.

Also great for making great hash out of weed

I downloaded new drivers today without an account, but there’s dark pattern bullshit trying to get you to install GeForce Experience. I didn’t need to sign in to download drivers though.

I found out about them during the Napster/Kazaa era looking for 311 songs and their song “311 sucks” came up. I thought it was funny, then again, I was an edgy teenager at that time.

I suspected this was an Anal Cunt track by the title and looking it up proved my suspicions correct.

Any of the big compound medical words are fun to say and construct IMO. Adrenocorticotropic, deoxyribonucleic, those kinda words. They seem big and scary but they’re quite descriptive and once you know the “formula” behind them it’s not too bad. Maybe not the most fun words but I feel good every time I can use one and deploy it like it’s no big deal (ie my mouth doesn’t fuck it up). It’s like executing a big combo with your mouth.

I love the Metro series; I played 2033 near its release, beaten Exodus three times (once at release and 2x after release of the Enhanced edition) and just recently beat Last Light Redux. I should probably play 2033 Redux now.

Closely related, I’m very excited for STALKER 2; Shadow of Chernobyl was my first love back in 2008 and I’ve played all three of those a bunch of times.
