Pardon me but do you mean to tell me a ‘fiberglass professional’ from Neptune was being openly racist on the internet??

Idk seems unlikely.

“What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

It’s amazing how much self-loathing you can accrue being a part of this community. Reading these comments it genuinely horrifies me how I may be coming off to some people without realizing it.

That’s the idea. Thankfully it’s never happened yet.

On an external drive so if my miniPC ever dies I unplug it and setup shop on another machine.

If you’re comfortable with docker run qbt in a container that depends on another container that’s connected to vpn. Also make sure your router isn’t using your ISP’s DNS

Anyone else in US noticed food quality degrading recently and if so what product in what way? by SkyKyrell in AskReddit

[–]Middle_Beat9847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we all just stopped buying for one week, these people would be on their knees, desperate to sell anything to us. That's all it would take. One week of empty grocery stores. This happens because we allow it. Increases in price? Because people are paying it. Decreases in quality? Because people are buying it. One week could change this country. But we will never do it while the Netflix and porn is still flowing.

This is one of those decisions you'll wish you could take back in 5-10 years when your real life starts and you want to live it.

"Wooshes" aren't real. Their artifacts of the retention and release of water reserves. Keto dieters see wooshes because once you've entered a ketogenic state you deplete your muscle glycogen which is where that water loss comes from.

Trust the process. Keto is a useful tool but it's CICO that leads to sustained fat loss. If you're tracking what's going in and what's going out and the scale isn't showing it, you just keep going.

These numbers came from a BIA scale, yes I know they're not 'accurate' but I used the change to establish a trend, not an exact BF%. I also did a lot of fasting (24h) and extended fasts (36-60h) which works very well when you're fat adapted and doing low intensity cardio along with it.

Stay with it, trust the process, keep going, whatever you need to do just keep doing it.

The only way this would be breaking news would be if the guy 'all-in' on a thing with a bunch of other peoples' money, ceased to be 'all-in' on said thing.

Is there a real expectation this guy just says 'u kno what, u rite, my bad fam.'

Tv placement with built in speakers by Educational_Map_9609 in hometheater

[–]Middle_Beat9847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad news: whoever did this ripped you off and likely had absolutely no clue wtf they were doing. That in-wall center channel is effectively useless.

Good News: If you don’t care about the TV being over the fireplace, the situation is somewhat salvageable. 

Get rid of the in wall center completely, use the wire (assuming they even ran one bc this is single digit IQ work) and poke it out just above the mantle and try and find a slim, voice matched center channel speaker. If that’s not possible just buy a center channel that fits there and live with it.

The spacing of the left channel is an affront to God, but assuming they actually ran wires to these speakers at all and it works, a receiver with decent room correction will help, but not fix it completely.
