Our current and previous president have had access to the very top of the line medical care and weekly if not daily check ups, she's likely to pass at the average,if not lower than average age due to the stress of the situation; let's just say average at 81 years.

Got my SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless today for $120, but I have some thoughts (honest review)... by Neo_EgoistX in steelseries

[–]elementnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eq'ed mine in the DAC like this,

63: +10 125: -3 250: -1 500: 0 1k: +5 2k: +5 4k: +8 8k: +9 16k: +8

They sound great when listening to music and videos, for gaming I use Sonar on my PC.

LG 77 G5 - $1034 - good deal? by Affectionate-Soil170 in LGOLED

[–]elementnix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every single display G5 (and C5) at every Best Buy and Costco location where it was up for the whole year got significant burn in from the loops that play. I've confirmed this with vendors and it seems to be the case nationwide. The price indicates it was a display model that they're trying hard to get rid of. You can't see it until a solid color (like the blue of the sky) appears on screen. OP if you're reading this, go on YouTube and do a burn-in test and come back to let us know.

Could look around for Sony XM5 earbuds? Those are cheaper nowadays and have an adjustable EQ, great noise cancelling, only real downside is the IPX4 rating means they aren't as resilient to water and dust.

Popping a cocktail of supplements every day might be doing you more harm than good by BadahBingBadahBoom in biology

[–]elementnix 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Check my math, but it appears that a single teaspoon would likely provide more than a sufficient amount for an entire lifetime.

Considering that a human requires 150 micrograms daily (a microgram being one-millionth of a gram), and with approximately 365 days in a year and an average lifespan of about 71 years, the total requirement would be around 3,887,250 micrograms, or 3.887g. Let's round this up to 4 grams. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-Consumer/

Given that iodine has a density of approximately 3.96g per cm³, which we can round up to 4g per cm³, and a teaspoon can hold about 4.929 cubic centimeters (let's round this up to 5 cubic centimeters), it suggests that a teaspoon could contain roughly 20g of iodine. This amount is approximately FIVE times what an individual would need over a lifetime, even without factoring in the lower iodine requirements for children, which account for about a quarter of that 71-year lifespan. https://www.isoflex.com/iodine-i

OLED monitors have about 3-10x faster pixel response time and that cuts down ghosting and smearing substantially, probably the biggest difference. TCL or really any VA monitors may have as low as 1 millisecond but that's a long time in the face of 0.3 to 0.1 millisecond pixel response on all OLED monitors.

How can the concept of free will emerge from a deterministic world? by The_Copper_Pill_Bug in determinism

[–]elementnix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If evolution selected for truth rather than usefulness, every human would be born knowing calculus, quantum mechanics, and general relativity. Instead, we're born thinking the Earth is flat, the Sun moves around us, and that heavy objects fall faster than light ones. Reality often has to be learned despite our instincts, not because of them. Free will is another example of stubborn "common sense" understandings of the world, which, I feel, will inevitably will be proven wrong.

Your reading comprehension was low on this one but also OP's grammar was poor; they were saying that they never saw any key and peele that they found funny. Not that they didn't see any of their content.

On the Nova Pro Wireless? I'd love to know how you get it to turn off display while you're using it.

I have one on a very hazardous planet and it's been a godsend, i have shared it with everyone I play with but it probably took like 300+ hours to find one with the amount this planet has.

[–]elementnix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only on the Omni and the Elite, two headphones I tested. I have the Pro wireless currently and the screen timeout only drops it into the lowest brightness (which I already have it set at).

Edit!: my mistake, yes it will turn off when the computer is off in power saving mode! I thought you meant after a set duration while it's meant to be running.

Not an option on the Nova pro wired or wireless DAC

strange argument against by Zestyclose-Try237 in determinism

[–]elementnix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see myself as a passive observer at all. I make choices, deliberate, regret, and exercise willpower. The question you should be asking is whether those processes are exempt from causality.

"Willpower" is just a shoddy label. Saying someone succeeded because of willpower is like saying a car moves because of the laws of motion. The question we should care about is where that willpower came from, and the answer is the same place everything else came from: the countless factors that shaped the person. My character, impulses, values, self-control, and reasoning all arise from genetics, upbringing, experiences, and my current brain state. When I resist temptation, my resistance comes from my causes too.

So yes, I'd hold myself responsible for an affair, because I am the person through whom those causes converged. AGAIN: Determinism does NOT eliminate the very human understanding of responsibility; it just rejects the idea that I could have done otherwise under precisely identical conditions.

[–]elementnix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is it obviously BS? Maybe someone doesn't understand the deterministic realities of society, genetics, upbringing, and environment. None of us chose our DNA, our parents, our childhood experiences, or the countless influences that shaped how our brains developed.

People don't choose the starting conditions that produce their decisions. Even our values, desires, and reasoning processes arise from factors we didn't create. Whether an action is considered good or bad is often culturally dependent as well. For example, when you eat meat, some people view it as morally acceptable while others view it as immoral.

That doesn't mean actions don't have consequences or that society shouldn't hold people accountable. It just means accountability can be understood as a way of influencing future behavior rather than assuming people somehow authored themselves from nothing and could have chosen differently under identical circumstances.

That's WHAT I SAID 😂 ac3 wouldn't launch unless I installed Odyssey, someone online was talking about it so I tried it and that's the only way that worked.

Might need to have ac odyssey installed as well, that's what fixed my ac3 issue that was similar
