My dumb answer would be that less fat means more sugar per kcal, so less satiety per kcal. No idea if that's correct.

Incorrect, not all products that reduce fat necessarily increases carb/sugar content.

Wrong. If you just take out the fat you've necessarily got more of everything else per kcal. I didn't say per volume, I said per kcal.

Nuclear is too expensive and takes to long. We can't afford to waste the resources that could go into a fully green grid in a couple of years taking decades building a fraction of that capacity as nuclear.

you should check out TWh/y of clean power in Portugal/DK vs UAE and say this again)

Many people do, although I too don't get why


240W max is very little when it comes to hearing up water, and most powerbanks don't even do more than 100W output. That's more in the range of those swappable tool batteries.


The Ikape Cera+ can heat water from room temp but it can’t do this many times.

But in many environments you don’t have to heat from cold. There’s often a Zip tap or kettle to get you most of the way.

But maybe the internal battery can deliver more power directly to the heating element.


Charging a 5Ah phone empty to full every day of the year adds up to all of about 7kWh. Nobody cares if you shave off a couple cents per year if the experience is worse.


But slow charging will preserve the battery life a lot longer, which is more important.


Wireless charging, on the other hand generates heat, which is bad for the battery.

Slow, wired charging is the best combination for battery service life. A basic 5-10W power supply when the phone is going to be plugged in overnight is a universal method to achieve that; AccA on a rooted Android device with suitable hardware allows fine-grained control in software.

Even more important is to avoid charging the battery to full. The higher the voltage, the quicker it wears out.


If you didn't specifically test without it, I'd attribute that to cgnat


> if you have that little respect for leadership, why are you working at that company?

What an astoundingly dumb question. Most people work somewhere to get paid, and If you think its unusual to hate the boss, oh boy, do I have news for you!


There's a huge difference between "I hate my boss" and "I'm willing to publicly humiliate him to his face". Are you really struggling to understand that distinction?


I got mouths to feed, and if I only worked at places where I respected everyone in top leadership, well ... we'd probably starve.


Several things severely wrong with this example. The employee didn't talk to an outsider, they didn't talk to someone the CEO would be likely to have known personally, and they're so far removed from the CEO nobody thinks they'd know them on a personal level.

You just can't talk about a CEO as if they're a person interacting and hiring people individually because they just don't.


In a small company a CEO may approve all hiring. In a larger company they delegate that. But they run the company. Everyone in the company including those hiring reports directly or indirectly to them.

When an employee communicates broadly inside a company, even if it's not directly to outsiders, that is essentially public. As we can see in this thread some random person chimed in with the details. But s/neighbor/your wife/ if that helps the analogy and insider vs. outsider is the issue. It's an imperfect one as they all tend to be.

This is why for example quarterly results are not generally communicated to all insiders in a company before they are released, because they are going to leak.

I think my analogy, though imperfect, demonstrates that when you have some sort of employment or other relationship, "bad mouthing" the other party, either in public or in private, is expected to be damaging to this relationship. The CEO of your company is the closest thing to the single person employing you. He runs the entity that employs you.


You can turn up your car stereo and mow over pedestrians undisturbed in your two ton death machine yet I'm not allowed to cycle on a bicycle-only path with with a podcast and transparency mode enabled? For my own safety? Safety from car drivers that fell asleep driving with their stereo on?


Don't know where you live, but where I live it isn't legal to play so loud music that you cannot hear the outside, especially if it's so loud you cannot hear other car horns. So no, neither should be allowed, because again, we use our hearing when we're in traffic to help our other senses.

Mostly for others safety, and I guess if it helps you; for your safety too.


I never said loud. Comfortable podcast listening volume in both cases.

Yeah, that's what LLMs do. Now is it true? Who knows!


The links Gemini references are also to articles about the Skoda bell, so it's just a circular reference to the same claim anyway.
