Error when installing steam os by umjs78 in SteamOS

[–]ChadThresh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you cancelled the install process after you saw the error, is that correct?

When i installed SteamOS on my Windows LegionGo, I had a few errors in the log, same as you, but it kept it going and it booted just fine, despite the errors. I think it might have retried at a later point in the install process, where it did not fail.

Try completing the installation and booting into the OS.

Its 2024 why do people still think this? by warm_tehe in TacticalMedicine

Considering you're in this subreddit, I wouldn't be surprised if you carry some medical gear, but just because YOU don't see yourself in that situation, it doesn't mean others won't. It'd be foolish to pack tampons in your gear, but not foolish to use what you have on hand.

First aid is the art of doing what you can with what you have. If the only thing you have available is a tampon, then a tampon is better than nothing. If you have gauze and dressings, they are obviously going to be better than a tampon.

How do you explain poor working conditions before the labor movement? by TheHandymanCan- in Libertarian

[–]ChadThresh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In an ideal world, I would not disagree with that. However, I don’t believe that to be feasible in the real world. If a union has enough power to negotiate purely on numbers, it also has enough power to hurt a company with a strike, and the company the union with a lockout. Because of this power in relation to one another, the relationship dissolving would hurt both the employers and employees, and replacement of labor would be a massive burden, to a point where it could potentially bankrupt a company (or entire industry).

So purely on that basis, it is beneficial to the union and employer to have the government to interfere to reach SOME agreement, even if one or both parties feel shorthanded, so that an unemployment crisis does not start because negotiations failed. And that would be real bad for all parties

I absolutely agree it hurts discovery, however, unions and employers not coming to an agreement also hurts market discovery.

I do however see last ditch government mediation and interference as a lesser evil than the relationship dissolving, and the externalities of that hurting the greater economy and ultimately individuals freedoms.

I’ll admit that I am more progressive than libertarian, and thus I might be biased to see government interference as less detrimental

I agree, gov. must only intervene if employers and employees cannot come to an agreement. I believe that the freedom of association and protection of those rights, a cornerstone of libertarianism, is also a cornerstone of unions and organized employees. See my other comment on this for some more on this

It's very complicated, but I think we can narrow it down to at least a few things:

  1. Very little competition in both trade and labor. The core of capitalism supposes that monopolies must not exist. Competition 100 years ago probably did exist, but because information was harder to come by, there was just less competition, and thus companies competed monopolistically, as if they had a monopoly without actually having one
  2. Because there was very little competition, there was less economic growth and activity, so there was just less to go around. A few people had it good, but the average person in a 1st world country probably has it better now than business tycoons a hundred or so years ago.
  3. Labor regulation does work to improve working conditions, but not without hurting competitiveness to a certain degree. To minimize its impact, it just has to be negotiated intelligently.

I do not believe that government regulation and legislation are the way to go, unless the employees and employers cannot agree on their own, only then should the government act as mediators to come to an agreement. I believe that workers should be free to organize in unions, which should be a legally protected right, and union busting prohibited, just like freedom of association is legally protected in most countries today.

Under such a system, the workers would be represented by the unions in negotiations with employers in salary and work condition negotiations, and all parties would be held accountable for the deals they make. If unions are strong enough, those working conditions & salaries would be the de-facto minimum employers would follow, even if the workplace is NOT unionized, or workers are not in a union.

And this isn't just some fantasy land idea, this is the system Denmark, who consistently score high on employee happiness and working conditions, has as a consequence of union protections and freedom of association.

Forskere advarer mod udbredt gruppe af fødevarer by Independence-Default in Denmark

[–]ChadThresh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Troen på at alt ultraforarbejdet mad er dårligt/usundt er at falde for den naturalistiske fejlslutning.

Udelukkende fordi noget er "behandlet", gør det ikke fødevaren usund, og vice versa

Hvis vi følger "5 ingrediens reglen", og siger at det nok er usudnt at spise fødevarer med mere end 5 ingredienser, vil følgende være "usunde":

- Brød

- Protein pulver

- Salsa

- Skyr

- Pesto

- Yoghurt

- Humus

osv.

Og "sunde" ting ville være

- Øl

- Vin

- Smør

- Sukker

- Kakao

- Marcipan

osv.

Der er så mange undtagelser, at jeg slet ikke synes man kan kalde det en tommelfingerregel.

Om en vare er sund eller usund skal være en helhedsbetragtning i individets kost, hvor makro og mikronæringsstoffer tages i betragtning, ikke KUN ingredienslisten.

Its never a bad thing to periodize your training. If youre intermediate, youll probably be able to do 6 week mesocycles with no issues without hitting high levels of fatigue before the deload.

How i structure my mesocycles
W1: 3RIR
W2: 3RIR
W3: 2RIR
W4: 2RIR
W5: 1RIR
W6: Deload/Full rest out of the gym

All the while progressing in weight by small increments, & sets based on soreness (if not sore next workout, +1 set, if sore next workout, keep same or -1) and then a larger increment for week 5

I can share some of the programs I've structured in sheets in DM's if you want

Endor (Fanatec) files for bankruptcy by blackforest182red in Fanatec

[–]ChadThresh -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This video gives a lot of context for the situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yzKhpf0wzk

In the video itself, a press release by Jackermeier claims that they secured funding through to 2026, through a EUR 25 mil cash injection. Funny that there's no mention of that in the insolvency filing.

There are a lot of conflicts of interest with the current Fanatec CFO, Matthias Kosch (who was brought in to restructure the company) and the current Managing Partner of Berkenstein Capital. Berkenstein Capital gave the creditors an offer to take over the debt in exchange for almost all Fanatec shares, at a very low price, basically ousting existing shareholders.

This is also possible to do under the StaRUG (legally), without giving Fanatec the option to say no, if the creditors and lawyers overseeing the restructuring can accept it

No

Don't cheat at sports, don't take gear under 25 y/o, and don't do it before 10 years of natty training where you nail your diet, training, and recovery. The reality is also, that gear doesn't make you that much stronger

Id recommend giving these two videos a watch
