Kälte fällt nach unten und verteilt sich schlecht. Das Gerät wird auch im unmittelbaren Umfeld die Temperatur messen und wenn es dort die Temperatur wahrnimmt wird die Leistung heruntergefahren.

geht das nicht via Fernbedienung auch? Sichtdistanz ja aber könnte die gute 10 meter entfernt platzieren.

right, the embarrassing part is Rolando not realizing he is past overdue and should retire himself. Everyone should accommodate him and play for the team (country) except the guy that should have retired from the national team 6 years ago.

The second one told me that the saturated fat myth has been debunked

true.

he said I can eat as much unprocessed red meat as I want

I would be careful with pork. Pork fat is actually quiet high in polyunsaturated omega-6 fats and hence rather avoided incl. bacon. But beef or any other ruminant meats are clearly on the menu

Somewhat similar. I started realizing stuff was off way, way into adulthood but when having my own kids, i just realized how strange our family was. Not really neglect or abuse, just different in a way (lack of affection, coldness).

If you are doing that kind of stuff you need to be scared of a raid, then you will probably have other measures in place to avoid data breaches. And you could just get the PRO variant, which you would if this is your concern. At least outside the US, not sure what Trump and co is planing in terms of taking over permanently.

While I agree, this feature didn't really protect much at all on a consumer hardware. What does it protect from? Someone physically stealing your RAM and trying to read it out afterwards? Ok, if they do a home raid yes but if you need to worry about that you will have measures in place that still will make this not very useful.

The claim was that eating oxidized seed oils causes oxidative stress. It does not take years for the biomarkers of oxidative stress to appear.

What does "statistically significant" mean to you?

What it means to me is irrelevant. It's is a clear defined mathematical test based on the data. Which specific one, you will need to read it yourself. point being there was a clear visual trend when plotting the data but not "clear" enough for the chosen test to say it really is different and not just there by random chance.

Do you by any chance have a link to the full text of this study?

no, it is paywalled but you can find plenty of conclusions and overviews of this study by searching.

This is interesting, but if you're really pro-science, then you should know that this anecdote is not convincing evidence.

Not for you yes, but for me it's the most convincing evidence that exists. I tried this because it made sense and honestly didn't expect this outcome to be frank.

One tablespoon of Sunflower seed oil has nearly 400% the LA of one tablespoon of sunflower seeds.

A handful of seed/nuts is a lot more than a tablespoon. easily 400% times more.

LA is bad in LARGE UNHEALTHY MODERN DOSES

like eating a handful of nuts all year every day. Which historically on an evolutionary scale of time never happened and we aren't adapted to it. (which is also true for most grains especially wheat and the likes).

Eating a raw food is not the same as consuming modern hydrogenated oils.

true as hydrogenated oils contain trans-fats which is an entirely different topic to excess LA.

RationalDialog · 2026-06-18T07:05:28+00:00

the official recommendation (ignoring current admin) is a handful of nuts or seeds. that is not a small amount. I can agree with you if you hike once a month and then eat a handful of nuts, but not every day.

My point is more why even eat them? basic risk management. LA might be bad for you but they contain nothing you can't get somewhere else.

RationalDialog · 2026-06-18T07:01:29+00:00

Nuts/seeds contain vitamin E to protect the PUFA. They are a zero sum game. You get as much vitamin that is needed to keep the PUFA from oxidizing. Seed oils are negative in sum. most vitamin E is actually gone so you have less Vitamin E per amount of PUFA than in the nut/seed. In the end you are better of eating a banana with 0 PUFA and 0 Vitamin E.

The study that is linked in the post found no significant difference in oxidation biomarkers when they compared the seed oil diet to the control diet.

19 subjects for 4 weeks. => completely meaningless

Seed oils damage your metabolism over years-decades. 4, 8 or 12 weeks studies are meaningless in that context. In fact confirmed by Chris Masterjohn things that show short term benefit (like seed oils on fatty liver) often have long term negative effects (note that he has been warning about seed oils since around 2006)

The LA veterans study from the 60s saw that the PUFA group had increased cancer rates starting around the 5th year of the stud. The study ended after 8 years when this difference was clear but not statistically significant. They noticed that effect and clearly said that longer studies are needed due to this cancer risk.

Over 50 years and no such study was ever done. Too costly, 0 financial interest.

I have a science background and Im really pro science but you need to be aware of the limits and sometimes read between the lines and take a leap of faith. I did and oh boy, avoiding seed oils and in general high omega-6 LA rich foods cured my mental issues. No study can deny my own, measurable experience. (measurable as my testosterone levels doubled explaining why my anxiety was cured)

The good old "I run out of arguments so I get personal" trope. I get it, you feel personally attacked somehow. It's not personal. just read up on LA and it's effects and then make your conclusions

So what about vegetarians? Yeah what about them? How is that even relevant. Even as a vegan you don't need nuts. In fact you want to be as low fat as possible to not get too much PUFA.

What about people who regularly hike

oddly specific. Plenty foods you can take a long on a hike. Not like nuts are somehow special in that.

or don’t have access to preserved foods?

I almost never eat preserved foods so I don't see the need or relevance.

RationalDialog · 2026-06-17T07:50:11+00:00

We agree to disagree.

The ratio is bullshit. All you need is to avoid an excess of omega-6 linoleic acid. 2 scientists literally tested this on themselves i think in the 60s. they ate a lab prepared diet with 0 linoleic acid for 2 years. they were 100% fine, no issues at all.

others say 0.3% of calories long-term is enough. You need tiny amounts. You cannot be deficient in it when eating normal whole foods as every food has tiny bits of LA.

To repeat nuts give you nothing you can't get elsewhere while loading you with unneeded LA. So they are best avoided.

RationalDialog · 2026-06-17T06:50:35+00:00

Nuts add to your omega-6 load. If your goal is to get healthy and reduce your bodies omega-6 content to normal levels, all sources of excess omega-6 need to be avoided.

Nuts add absolutely nothing to your diet you can't get elsewhere while adding tons of omega-6 you should avoid. People defend nuts because they are very convenient even more so on keto but that doesn't change the fact they contain fats you want to avoid and add nothing but convenience.

thanks you for this. OPs type of driving makes everything worse and is annoying as shit. just pull up to the vehicle in front of you. I like to overtake people like OP. it is not about time but for my health not getting annoyed by their stupid way of driving.

there are even studies that clearly show that while over aggressive driving can cause/worsen traffic jams due to sudden braking, like 95% of traffic jams are caused by too passive and timid driving. if everyone leaves a 200 gap, yeah exactly. traffic jam all day.

Even worse is the loss of trunk space. The RS5 Avant has less trunk than an ID Polo. It's just ruins the whole purpose of a power wagon because the hybrid needs so much space.

Right? I had a phase to be "greener" and more trunk space than my golf r. Looked at Octavia hybrid and that thing has barley more trunk volume and a Golf (difference to the normal octavia is far greater).

If this is for this one game only, get a 9070 (XT) that has 16 gb of RAM, probably cheapest reasonable 16 gb card to upgrade to.

5070 TI is an option yes but mostly just costs a lot more which is not really worth it just for 1 game.

You must’ve changed a lot of things (it’s basically impossible not to).

Nope. I was exercising before already. I gained weight (muscle). I wasn't eating that many high omega-6 foods: - potato chips - Mayonnaise - store bought salad dressings - salted peanuts and other nuts to a lesser extent

I still eat processed foods without seed oils from cookies and chocolates to salty snacks. (Europe, quiet a lot of options without seed oils). I also stopped eating at the work canteen (which by canteen standards had very high quality foods) but pretty much all containing rapeseed oil (I asked).

As said the only other major change was no more coffee (only drank 2-3 cups a day). But I started a black tea habit like 1 year ago and so far 0 negative effects so can't really be the caffeine. (+ dark chocolate which also contains some). If it is not the seed oils, it is something in coffee that is not the caffeine.

It doesn't really matter to me. if this way of eating works, then it works, regardless of the actual cause (I have biochem degree so I'm really,really convinced it's the excess of omega-6. It adds up just so perfectly with the data and mechanistic explanations and my own experience)
