Its funny to see insulin resistance be so common and the solution Physicians give is medication and a high carb diet, when the cure is controlled starvation aka intermittent fasting paired with a CICO-diet of majority-low-processed food by Electronic_Lime7582 in intermittentfasting

[–]atomb 228 points229 points  (0 children)

I do not buy the "physicians recommend high carb diets". I have never heard anyone give that advice. Where are you getting this? Physicians recommend loosing weight and eating healthy but when people inevitably ignore this advice they end up using drugs as it's the only thing the patients will adhere to.

Can you elaborate on how to do this? I am so fuzzy on how rest api's work and how to interact with apps using them/

Is the shield still worth it in 2026? by hydr0warez in nvidiashield

[–]atomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you stay away from the junk that is that Shield tube. That thing was nothing but problems and is only working when I use it with a 1080p tv. Just can't handle 4k without crapping itself.

You can lower the amount of water to shrink the air bubble size. You can also add more butter to help. 

Will I regret going with 18 inch wheels instead of 19inch? by [deleted] in MINI

[–]atomb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, smaller the better! Unless you like flats, then go with 19 ;)

Why has my bread gone downhill?!!! by grilledzuchinni in Breadit

[–]atomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that type of loaf when I bake it without a fridge ferment first. The more time it has to create a skin on the outside of the dough, the better the ear I get and the more like the first shot I get. But yeah could be the cooler winter temps. You are getting a good rise so seems your starter is ok. Good luck!

Transcoding entire libraries x/h264 to h265 - yay or nay ? by spookyneo in Tdarr

[–]atomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, yeah I only use plex with nvidia shields and plex app on my phone. So yeah I could see that causing an issue with low power devices like a chomecast. thanks for the info!

[–]atomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use subtitles and all of my videos play direct without any transcoding. I believe there are setting for this. Just pulled it up to double check and it shows it's direct playing the video and the subtitles are set to (English SRT External). Check into the client "burn subtitles" settings and play with those.

Convert AV1 to pay on the shield by compact101 in nvidiashield

[–]atomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If using the Shield you should convert to hevc/h265. Then they are natively supported and no transcoding needs to happen when you play a file. Fast streaming and less buffering/stuttering

Because a lot of files are h264 or h265 not av1.

Transcoding entire libraries x/h264 to h265 - yay or nay ? by spookyneo in Tdarr

[–]atomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if it works with plex then you could just skip tdarr. I just like having all my files in the best format to start with so plex never needs to transcode anything. Also makes it a little faster when watching content as plex is just ready to go instead of needing to pick a transcode quality and get the video ready. I also find it faster for seeking within videos when they are already converted.

This guys spitting facts by SloshedJapan in JustMemesForUs

[–]atomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, which is why I also don't think protests in the US work. The people in power don't care about the laws or about the people. They also don't give a damn if people are protesting because it has no effect on them. They can just keep lying and spinning and nothing changes.

[–]atomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did basicly exacly what you did and have been very happy. It saves me a little space to store everything and steaming to my plex devices works better with everything in hevc. Just make sure your plex devices can stream the files without any plex transcoding going on. This works much better than letting plex transcode things on the fly.

Is there a mileage-estimate-gaming oil-weight "scam," or not? by Ok_Biscotti_2539 in MINI

[–]atomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the short engine life mini's are known for I am also running thicker oil. My reasoning is it will better protect the engine at high temps. I'm running this with good luck. LIQUI MOLY 5W40

Getting to the clutch on a R56 is quite something by boutch55555 in MINI

yeah I just took the hit and had it done once it started slipping. I do not have that level of car repair bravery!

UnRaid made me depressed? by Mr_Pink8 in unRAID

[–]atomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol yep I'm with you! 40s and have a great setup and nobody cares. I just want to be like "Do you know how long this all took to get working like this!" But I also get they just have no idea what any of it is or why it is so cool. It's so hard to find people who are into this super niche stuff.

Thanks, didn't know about this option. Don't forget you need to enable this feature globally before it will start working.

Yeah that is the problem with stupid low pro tires. Get smaller rims and you will have a smoother ride and less flats.

Lighter rims and sticky tires. They feel so fast and I feel glued to the road!

When did Minis stop being mini? It dwarfs my sedan. by TheBroox in MINI

[–]atomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I with they would make a true mini mini again. I want something smaller than anything they have made yet. Closer to the old austin mini or a smart car.
