It doesn't matter.

The CGI is amazing.

Well shit. In some sense, not surprised. But also sucks.

"dense insights"

I've spent time reading and valuing a fair amount of post modernist writers. Often times, thier writings are justifiably difficult. But other times, it seems to be a byproduct a system that values obfuscation. Still, ebn in this murkiness, many of the original writers have valuable points to make. But there are a select group whose writings fail even there.

Yarvin is neither a skilled writer, a clear thinker, and often peddles in recycled conservative thought varished with corporatized vernacular who seems to never get to the point. And when does make a point, a younger me would have confused to relief of getting to a point as something worthy of the journey. Having hacked through thoughts before though, I find his destinations aren't merited by his meandering assuming he gets to a point.

Still, he has the regards of some powerful and wealthy people. However, these people are more interesting because of the positioning and not their respect for Yarvin. Yarvin provides the theory woven blanket that these people need to feel good about what they believe. Less so than Nick Land or Bronze Age Pervert, Yarvin reminds me of Jordan Peterson's rhetoric. In that sense, both are comforting to those groups confused about why the world isn't the way they think it ought to be.

Reading Yarvin is, in my opinion, no benefit in understanding the Theils and Vances of the world. Theil's political positioning, on the other hand, is worth noting, watching, and resisting.

I'm pretty unclear about what you're asking. So I'll do my best to answer them as I read it.

Humans need salt. As far as I know, there is not chemical reaction in our cooking that transforming the molecules in salt (Na+ and Cl- for table salt).

With that said, I believe OP was answering of when to add salt for flavor maximization.

Since salt doesn't transform the process of cooking, nutrient absorption is the same. Microwaving doesn't alter food despite it being radiation. Microwaves heat your food by vibrating the water molecules.

It's been over 20 years, but why is 5s1 4d10 a correct representation and not 5s2 4d9?

Edit: is it because d10 is more stable than d9? But then s1 is less stable than s2.

Matt Collville did a great video, "What Makes a Great Player Character", where he gives three rules:

  1. You should like your character
  2. The other players should like your character
  3. Your DM should like your character

"Everyone should be pulling in the same direction" and "you chose that character and chose to play them in that way, you could have chosen a different character."

The title of this post is misleading. She's not blasting her husband. She's wondering why she can't be content without these things.

 

I've been rewatching Slow Horses. I remember that feeling I had during season 2 when it clicked for me. It just felt like there was something going on under the surface. And if you're paying attention, you could just smell it. Season 1 wasn't bad, it just didn't suck me in. It just felt like they were trying to show you how smart the show makers in addition to telling a smart and subtle story. Season 2 did away with that pretense and introduced some smart, subtle baddies.

 

I was wondering others have this problem. I see a comment. There'll be a few replies to that comment and then a roll up of the remaining comments will be there. I'd expect tapping it will unroll the comments. But when I do, the bar changes to a rotating arc icon, and then return to the rolled up status. Which is to say, tapping it doesn't unroll it.

 

I'm currently setting up a windows 11 machine for a kid and want to make sure that their traffic is easily monitored. I've debloated much of it. Normally, I'd get rid of Edge and put on Firefox. But I noticed that Microsoft Family has the ability to monitor website usage.

I was wondering if there's similar functionality with Firefox or Chrome.

I'm most familiar with the iOS parental toolkit.

Finally, I want to let him have some access to some games, but I don't want him to purchase any games yet. I'm open to suggestions to getting this aspect locked in as well. I was just going to mimic my set up with Playnite. But I haven't really dug into it yet.
