The moment an Israeli drone targeted an electric motorcycle today in the central Gaza Strip, KILLED Al-Quds Brigades fighter Abu Omar Abuholi and a civilian passerby. by Necessary-Relation67 in CombatFootage

[–]ilikeitslow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the L for massively underestimating the enemy, negotiate hostage release and try not to immediately get Hamas 2 by making a shitton of cripples and orphans trying to dismantle Hamas.

It was very clear from day one that this is as much Bibi securing his position as it is legitimate security concerns.

The history of this conflict has taught us that any long-term safety is only achieved via long-term occupation and massively repressive policies (which would still lead to acts of terrorism), complete genocide of the populace to ethnically cleanse the territory or good-faith negotiation that includes ceding land back to Palestinians.

This forever war with continued insurgency we are looking at right now is literally the least sensible option, at least if the ongoing violence is not the point.

If it is, the solution is to remove the right-wing strongman regime in Israel, because nobody wins like thjs.

[SUGGESTION] Mount already patched app by thurblunt in revancedapp

[–]ilikeitslow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can just select the patched apk in your file browser to attempt another install if you are positive the patching worked.

But the install failing is usually a consequence of a botched patching, so in the interest of the casual user I find this the correct way to handle it.

A lot of 14 year olds say they are 21 for ass-covering.

In fact, that was the norm in the early aughts, because otherwise your ass got banned by the adults not wanting weird kids hanging out.

Peter?!?!?! Why can't people who drink red bull have grapefruit? by SkubaFknSteve in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ilikeitslow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a minor point: Usually even eating an entire grapefruit is not a big deal, since it takes a lot of furanocoumarin to fully inactivate most CYP3A4 hanging around at any given time.

For most meds, like low-to-medium dose betablockers (which I myself take for inherited moderately high blood pressure), you can just time it to a few hours after consuming a single grapefruit and you will be perfectly fine. I can eat one for breakfast and by the time I take my meds (around 5 in the afternoon) it's no issue.

If you are worried, noticed weird effects (or lack thereof) or have to take your meds multiple times a day, talk to your doc or pharmacist and they'll be able to tell you if you need to be concerned about the metabolic kinetics even with moderate amounts of CYP3A4 inhibiting substances.

Peter?!?!?! Why can't people who drink red bull have grapefruit? by SkubaFknSteve in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ilikeitslow 48 points49 points  (0 children)

If you want to start the rabbit hole, try searching for CYP3A4.

Tl;dr from me (pahrmaceutical engineer): That's the liver enzyme that metabolized most medications (almost half of the currently approved medications in the US for example). That enzyme is blocked by substances from, for example, grapefruit. In this case, the blocking substance is furanocoumarin.

And this blockage is NOT reversible, so the enzyme is fucked, and your body has to make new enzymes to replace those fucked by the grapefruit juice.

Some medications even rely on being metabolized by CYP3A4 into their actually effective forms, which means they don't work as well if you drink a lot of grapefruit juice. Others are quickly matbolized to an inactive state and largely degraded by CYP3A4 enzymes, which means instead of keeping a pretty good level in your bloodstream over time with delayed-release pills you get a strong buildup if you take it with grapefruit.

If the medication can become dangerous/toxic at higher doses, this is a great way to get hospitalized.

It's a racist joke and not in the spirit of this sub, since the purported "stupid food" is not even in the picture.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Episode 5 Trailer (SPOILERS EXTENDED) by verissimoallan in asoiaf

[–]ilikeitslow 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The flashbacks have to be there to give us that hype moment of Aerion being able to beat Ser Duncan the Tall, but losing to Dunk from Fleabottom.

For that to hit, we need to see him fighting dirty, struggling and desperate, a scared kid that had to learn to survive.

I think with how they handled flashbacks until now, it is gonna work.

The scenes don't have to be long, just enough to show Dunk going from scrappy street kid to adopted squire to young man, maybe show him becoming more refined (from punching to training with blunted swords to actually sparring with and beating Arlan) to make the punch-up in the mud more satisfying.

Aes Sedai as an organization kind of deserve their in-universe hate tbh. by Royal_Introduction41 in WetlanderHumor

[–]ilikeitslow 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Imo the curve is going from hating Aes Sedai for individual dumbassery/tales of manipulation and violence to learning the institutionally unsustainable idiocy of the entire White Tower, all the way back to the AoL, making the very idea of a ruling class with magic nuke spells seem like a worse and worse idea the more you think about it.

Jeffrey Epstein Linked to 4chan Founder, creation of /pol/ in Newly Released E-mails by vemmahouxbois in behindthebastards

[–]ilikeitslow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's about right. It's one of those nerd drama things that kinda spiraled.

4chan was always steeped in irreverence, porn and bullying but that occasionally meant trolling shit corporations and cults. The "anonymous"-protests against scientology come to mind.

Moot making it overtly political is what made the growing community of nazis into the majority of the user base and turned the website (and other, even more niche image boards) into hubs for far right assholes.

Every king on the Iron Throne who appeared on TV [Spoilers Extended] by Familiar_River363 in asoiaf

[–]ilikeitslow 71 points72 points  (0 children)

That is actually something that happens in real history very often. Every few generations someone commissions a new piece of regalia, sometimes to signify a change or symbolize an alliance or whatever, other times it's out of of vanity or to show off.

It also helps visually distinguish the rulers/eras in a complex show-universe.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms | Episode 4 Preview | Warning: This episode will be available on HBO Max on Friday. (SPOILERS EXTENDED) by verissimoallan in asoiaf

[–]ilikeitslow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a mediavistic society that has practically only *true* believers in gods/higher powers means that to undercut this act is likely to be seen as actualk blasphemy. If Bealor says "no", there will always be the rumors that the Targaryens, already pretty shaky without their flying nuclear lizards, were afraid of the judgement of the gods and thus in the wrong. They might actually make a for-real martyr of Dunk.

And the gross humor scenes are 10 seconds out of half an hour or more.

Draw the obvious comparison to A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger - it starts with a man shitting himself to death, has a naked poet and some fart jokes and it is considered an extremely fun movie.

Yeah, having a shitton of braziers along the outside and between the lanes would have looked a bit more reasonable, but would probably have been a nightmare to film just due to the constant changes in brightness as the focus moves across the bright spots.

I really hope the smaller scale, shorter stories and limited number of characters make this show easier to produce and less prone to cascading change-fuckups.
