  • TIL 95% of Americans don't get the minimum recommended amount of fiber

    Jump

  • Restaurants like to serve vegetables because they are cheap, easy to prepare (mostly), fast to cook, and filling. Far more profitable to sell than a steak. That those same vegetables are high in fiber, is an accident to them.

    As a person who needs to take supplemental iron pills every day, constipation is an old friend and I'm always eating as much fibre as possible to combat it.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • I got an old Nitro 5 with a rickity old 500gig hard drive. Will a Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD be a good Christmas present for it?

    Probably should get something while prices are somewhat more reasonable.

  • What is the right way to slice/support this model? I've had this fail to print 4 times on my Ender 3 v3 CoreXZ

    Jump

  • Yeah Blender might be the better choice here.

  • To me it looks AI generated and the "designer" never tried to actually print it. I would consider this model to be unprintable as presented. Because to actually print it, it would need to be seriously redesigned with pre built supports.

  • US demands access to tourists' social media histories

    Jump

  • Shouldn't be hard for anyone from Europe. The EU already wants to monitor all the social media anyway. Plus age restrictions. The Aussie's aren't far behind either. And they have age restrictions now.

    Whatever type it's probably esoteric and somehow involves the command line.

  • I have walked in that shit, slipped in that shit, I have even fallen in that shit. Cow shit smells and tastes just as bad as the finest Bull shit. And that bullshit is mixed into that cow shit and the two can't be separated. No matter how hard you try. And I ain't dealing with any shit anymore for whatever time is left of my life.

    But, I do like drinking my Daily Duck Shit. I have a cup of it right now. I love drinking my Daily Duck Shit and I always try to keep it on hand.

    ****For those that aren't fairly deep into Chinese Oolong teas, Duck Shit, “Ya Shi Xiang”, is type of Dan-Cong Oolong tea. You can google Duck Shit tea and get at least one origin story. They are fun stories.

  • Doctors

    Jump

  • I'm not a doctor. I was a medic for 15 years. Generally we, (at least I did), always try to explain things if there is time. But the time I have to explain what's happening and why can be in very short supply as a medic. Sometimes it's an "Oh shit! We gotta go! We gotta go NOW!" moment. Plus it's just you and me in the back. So I was often busier than a one handed milk maid at milking time and had very little time for pleasantries.

    And doctors face their own time crunch. If you have ever paid attention to the scheduling your appointment, they are in 15 minute blocks. And then they need to be on to the next patient while trying to find the time to chart their encounter with you. There are few of them and an endless supply of patients. And they need to keep that assembly line moving. If they spent as much time with their patients as THEY would like, imagine how long you would be sitting in that waiting room. You better bring drinks and a sandwich. Possibly a blanket.

    And there ain't any medical system that has enough doctors anywhere on this planet either to make things better for the doctors or the patients.

  • Doctors

    Jump

  • Yep. Even as a mere medic, we are supposed to at least consider any woman from 9 to 99 could be pregnant. And it fast and easy to ask, assuming a responsive patient. The overwhelming number of times it didn't play into my treatment plan doesn't matter. All it takes is just one time to not consider it and someone can be severely injured or dead because I didn't consider it. If I had any doubt about pregnant or not, I asked the patient straight up.

  • Living language

    Jump

  • Languages are living things. And living things always change. Note the Great English Vowel Change. Even the Norwegian my Grandfather spoke and that I learned from him was virtually a dead language that modern Norwegians stopped using in the 1850s. And the English spoken in the UK is different than the American English I speak. Spanish spoken in Spain isn't the same as someone from Mexico speaks.

    And when conversing with someone, (in the language of your choice), the words you choose to use are defined by the context you use them in. Words can have multiple meanings, but it's the context and tone clarifies those meanings. Consider all the meanings of the single word 'fuck'.

    But problems start with written words. And many people have poor written communication skills. It can be hard to parse meaning from poorly written words because there is little context and tone that comes through with a typed sentence.

    We are all just baying at the moon like any pack. And hoping some understands us.

  • Oh, that's easy. A liter is what you buy bottled water by and you buy soda pop in 2 liter bottles. Wine and whisk(e)y is 750ml bottles. It's also the displacement of your car's engine. Though we use cc's for chainsaws and motorcycles, weird I know.

    So Americans are well familiar with a liter.

  • And I don't want any of your shit.

    I grew up on dairy farm and it was one of my chores to shove the shit and then spread that shit nearly everyday. So I've had enough shit. I'm so done with that shit and the assholes it came out of. And I don't need anyone giving me shit anymore either.

    So you just keep your shit to yourself.

  • Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead

    Jump

  • It's a calculated risk. But I think they will be just fine when they turn back to their base consumers. And the consumers will welcome them back. Happens all the time. nVidia and crypto Hoe's are the latest example.

    Jump

  • So their not shutting down, just focusing on AI idiots until the bubble busts and then they will turn back to consumers.......

    Rules of Acquisition #1,261-- Always fuck over the idiots in the market. And when you've taken all their money, go back to your base with inflated prices.

  • Filament splicing? Do any of you guys do it?

    Jump

  • I have done it back in the day. It's a real hassle. And I went to the trouble of designing a proper heating and aligning tool to do the job. I could produce a smooth and pretty good splice. The trouble with it was different brands/colors of filament were always iffy about staying welded due to the additives. While it mostly worked, the welds could break just often enough to piss you off. I finally gave up on trying to make a reliable product happen.

    Automatically switching spools on runout is the one thing my AMS lite is really, really worth having. It's why I bought my Mini combo a year ago.
