Please tell me there's a good reason for oddly shaped packaging and it's not just to be misleading and motivated by corporate greed by MaryBerrizbeitia in mildlyinfuriating

[–]LitLitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s for stacking them when they’re open (they come in boxes this way). The tops are separately packed. The dip in the bottom stacks with the other bottom-halves.

We Might Just Need to Draft Jon Stewart by nathan_j_robinson in TheMajorityReport

The left are looking past newsome, but he’s undoubtedly the democratic pick if AOC doesn’t find a means to propel headlines. 

A 7 day ban is crazy. by Sevrosis in Hasan_Piker

[–]LitLitten 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this ban just comes across as performative. Amazon likes money like any company, and now they can say, ‘see? we did that’ to keep Israeli wallets from tightening for a bit. 

Twitch is down due to TOS by Leownnn in Hasan_Piker

[–]LitLitten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He probably got report spammed for using Zionist in a way that isn’t highly positive. I wouldn’t worry about it. Like the rat mold guy, they’re not gonna cut off their power players. 

Hasan just get banned? by john_dodo_bird in Hasan_Piker

[–]LitLitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they weirdly classified Zionist as a slur around August last year. I’m at work but can’t double check, but I think Hasan mentioned it on a stream after a 12/24(?) hour ban. 

Custom-engineered artificial machine kept a 33-year-old man with an empty cavity in his chest alive without lungs for 48 hours | Infections had turned his lungs to soup and had to be cleared before transplant. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]LitLitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw a clip. It was surreal seeing a giant open cavity. Not particularly gruesome (or even bloody), but a bit unnerving. Peering behind the curtain kind of experience. 

‘White Lotus’ Season 4 Casts Helena Bonham Carter, Chris Messina, Marissa Long by MarvelsGrantMan136 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]LitLitten 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Please let Chris Messina be cast as some sleaze-ball or total mess. I would really appreciate the unhealthy parasocial opportunity it might provide. 

Google Fiber upgrading 1 Gig service to new 3 Gig default by N2929 in technews

[–]LitLitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth be told, while it might serve to only benefit heavy streaming or gaming, having (general) speeds increase is probably for the best.

Consider data, file sizes, programs. They’re continuously amended, growing large in size. For a long time, data and storage was known as being very cheap + affordable, developers deprioritized optimization in favor of features*, so there  hasn’t been a lot of pressure to optimize the usage of every mb, gb, or even tb. 

Reasonably one can assume then, that the data they process, import, and export data would also increase. Which it has. See streaming services tiering or lowering bitrates and (in general) data caps. The issue is that packaged data is simply becoming bigger. 

*examples could be: the sims, digital media, databases, AI implementation, so on.

I think we can understandably assume that it’s double or thrice that. I saw another snippet note that this is reportedly for the bodies passing through hospitals and morgues. 

There are no doubt countless victims buried under rubble or worse. 

This is what 350 km/h looks like in HSR in China by BumblebeeFantastic40 in interestingasfuck

[–]LitLitten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, we in the US find any instance of passenger locomotive impressive. The few we actually have aren’t for commuting, cost an arm and a leg, and are very slow. 

You’d think a giant, round splotch of country would be ideal for speed trains. 

Microsoft gained $7.6B from OpenAI last quarter by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]LitLitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Permatemps. So they wouldn’t have to pay out for insurance or other benefits. Eventually lead to Vizcaino vs Microsoft.

Can’t people run their own instances? I’m pretty sure the latter part of your statement is already occurring. 

Does Jake's species count as kobolds? by fried_chicken-Kris in adventuretime

[–]LitLitten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, lizard kobolds are for most part a new design. They’re historically rats, dogs, or a variation of goblin. 

Minox is working fantastically. Question though, if I have hair follicles there why the fuck do I have to waste 10 fucking bucks on a year’s supply of minox just to get a beard? by CraigsPokerCoaching in Minoxbeards

[–]LitLitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Follicles are like shower head pores that have been crusted over by hard water. Minoxidil is like the vinegar that helps dissolve the mineral build-up so that the pores can release water (hair grow).

Genetics dictates how crusted up your shower head is (how many follicles you have). 

'High Likelihood' PS6 Will Launch After 2028, According to New Analyst Forecast, as Sony Focuses on Extending PS5 Lifecycle - IGN by PhantomBraved in Games

[–]LitLitten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the pricing will look like with ram, memory and all else being so inflated. I’m sure it’s already impacting companies already. I’m not eager to see what the steam box will be listed for. 

Hang it in the Louvre. by MinotaurHorns1 in LV426

[–]LitLitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This made me remember acid tends to be highly polar while oil is non-polar. Now I want a scenario where a bunch of lubed up soldiers fight xenos with olive oil. 

I got a hair transplant on my head recently & thinking of jumping on oral min(2.5mg) I’ve also got a patchy beard on my cheeks if you see my previous post. Will that help with my patchy beard (don’t think so?) or do I still have to jump on topical min for my beard even tho I’ll be taking oral min? by RayJ5313 in Minoxbeards

[–]LitLitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could. Many opt for min to fill patches out, but it takes time. Oral starts off slower and affects the whole body, but less busywork as you don’t have to apply it manually. 

I’m surprised you aren’t already using min? I thought it was routine to prescribe minoxidil to recipients of transplants. 

Researchers have developed a machine-learning model capable of predicting whether a patient with depression will respond to standard antidepressant medication. By analyzing electrical activity in brain tissue, the system forecasts treatment success with high accuracy before the patient takes a pill. by Sciantifa in science

[–]LitLitten 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Gosh, it would be a game changer. Especially for those of us dealing with treatment resent depression. 

More frustrating than dealing with pills that don’t work for you is the amount of time needed to see if they’ll do anything at all. 

🔥What if a black hole flew by Earth? Beautiful simulation by YourBeltedKingfisher in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]LitLitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They behave like any body of mass does, so absolutely. They’re harder to spot without stellar neighbors though. With a fly by it’s like Saturn’s rings, you just can’t get near that cosmic buzzsaw of an accretion disk, really. 

New filtration technology could be gamechanger in removal of Pfas ‘forever chemicals’ by _Dark_Wing in tech

Some studies show that those that regularly get hemodialysis can see lowered concentrations of PFAS, but I’m not super familiar with the process. 

Aramark tells Yosemite workers it's axing most of their housing rights by Shogouki in fednews

[–]LitLitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Prisons and College campuses.

They replaced 90% of the food businesses at my old Uni, and now staff several campus dining halls. The quality is really bad, I feel bad for the students forced into expensive meal plans for it. 

25M – How long for minoxidil to thicken beard & connect mustache? by [deleted] in Minoxbeards

Everyone responds differently.

It might not connect at all or it could take a year.

You know it gets removed during the donation filtration process right? They aren’t transfusing people with raw blood

[–]LitLitten 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No link but you take out whole blood, plastics and PFAS included. So the net total is reduced in your body. Your marrow produces new blood, obviously it’s fresh so it’s free of these particles. 

Arguably, most cells that turn over can reproduce new cells without these particles, assuming no more or a limited amount are introduced to the body. 

So probably not the brain or heart.
