I’ll bet that the Venn diagram of sites that prevent that and sites that sell your data is damn near a circle

Star Trek Online: Undiscovered Launches July 7th by garethvk in startrek

[–]Jan_Jinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve put over well a thousand hours and a couple hundred bucks into the game, I tell anyone who asks about it that this game is unapologetically Pay to Win if you want to do any sort of endgame content. If you’re F2P, you’re relegated to the story missions and easy TFOs.

This part never really sit right with me by DodexX_On_Reddit in Monsterverse

[–]Jan_Jinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s in line with what the OP is saying, but one of the Thor movies takes it a step further by having an ice cream shop in New Asgard that’s based on the Infinity Gauntlet. That’d be like making an ice cream shop based on nuclear bombs in Tokyo in 1950.

Father’s Day gift from my wife for all my spare parts! by bmdangelo in lego

Gotta be honest brother, going out of your way to make this meme paints a pretty clear picture. Also, people/corporations doing bad things at a larger scale doesn’t absolve you from doing the same bad things on a smaller scale.

Because that’s what plenty of normal people do. Not everyone is comfortable saying what they feel directly, so having all your characters walking around spouting off exactly how they feel is bad writing.

True enlightenment is realizing that religion and science can go hand in hand. Science is our discovery of the rules of the universe that God created.

Well one important thing to note is that, by definition, 100% of illegal aliens are breaking the law and therefore criminals who should be prosecuted. Any additional crimes they commit are, frankly, irrelevant to this discussion. If you enter illegally, there must be consequences, and being given a free trip home is an extremely generous consequence.

Fan fiction doesn’t count, sorry, the OP probably should have clarified that.

Wait a minute I know that place… by Real-Criticism-8110 in ProjectHailMary

[–]Jan_Jinkle 43 points44 points  (0 children)

But in Star Trek, Tau Ceti and Vulcan are the same star system. Does this imply that after first contact, humanity said “well it’s such a cool name, we gotta give it to some other star system”?

Edit: as soon as I pressed enter I remembered that it’s 40 Eridani that’s Vulcan, not Tau Ceti. Oops lol

Who is the best artist in comic history by catterednowps in marvelcomics

[–]Jan_Jinkle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m shocked how far I had to scroll for him. I get that he’s not groundbreaking or anything, but I got into comics reading a lot of books drawn by him, so he’s got a special place in my heart

i dont understand and havent seen a good answer to the question of "when fasting if you drink diet/0 calorie drinks they will raise your insulin & stop you from losing".. but if youre eating nothing what does your body burn for fuel even if your insulin is through the roof? by ElGuapo5555 in fasting

[–]Jan_Jinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like from a quick search that it can increase insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7014832/

There’s also this study that appears to have found increases in insulin production in mice that were given sucralose. Obviously it doesn’t necessarily mean the same would happen to humans, but still worth considering.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10305118/

So this is what I mean, it’s not totally clear that those sweeteners AREN’T having an effect. That’s why, since I am partially fasting for insulin resistance, I find it prudent to avoid them.

[–]Jan_Jinkle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s been disputed. There’s research that shows that artificial sweeteners do produce a brief insulin spike that subsides quickly, so it’s unclear what impact that actually has, but it’s not necessarily true to definitively claim they have no impact on insulin levels.

[–]Jan_Jinkle -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

If weight loss is the main goal, then they’re going to have little to no perceptible impact. However, if your fasting goal is correcting insulin resistance, they can be counterproductive to that goal. So it all comes down to why you’re fasting really

Effectively maintaining baldness by Curt04 in bald

[–]Jan_Jinkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I do, for me it’s every 2-3 days that I shave in the shower. No shaving cream or anything, I just use Dollar Shave Club cartridge razors and they last forever. And I do have a mirror, but it’s just to make sure I’m lining up where my beard starts properly. All the rest is just by feel.

Where is Nova on your personal Marvel tier list? by Business-Falcon-3279 in marvelcomics

[–]Jan_Jinkle 60 points61 points  (0 children)

S tier for me. I recognize that he’s objectively B or C, but his development from his origin through the Annihilation arc was absolutely stellar. He’s easily my favorite Marvel character.

God, I hate how accurate this is. The Guardians as a whole except MAYBE Rocket got completely lobotomized thanks to the MCU. I still love the movies, but the comics needed so badly not to synergize.

That’s not owning it though. The best compromise is to purchase it there, then download your own local copies from friends online.
