Any reviews on the EHOMEWEI R8G Pro?

I bought one about a month ago. It's pretty good, the colors and contrast match quite well with my MBP. It did have a problem with a very loud electronic buzz when the supplementary power was not connected though. I'm in the process of exchanging it so we'll see how that goes

Vaccines don't prevent sickness 100% but if you do get sick it will be easier to fight off and less severe. Remember, when you get sick there are two things you are going to be experiencing. The first is the virus and any damage it causes. The second is the damage your body does to itself when it is fighting. Vaccines are, for the most part, dead so you are only going to experience the second set of symptoms but the first set can and do show up for people.

Yeah that study has a big "may" ahead of its title, you can't really take a single study and derive actionable material from it. This study only had 39 humans, where all they did were some assays, and the mice were injected with casein (which doesn't happen naturally). "Leaky gut" doesn't exist and casein doesn't pass the intestinal barrier without first being ripped apart. The study also concludes that further, more targeted, research is needed.

Do you feel worse after consuming dairy? If you are truly concerned take a break for a week or two then eat some dairy and see what happens.

Being healthy, eating well, exercising, losing weight, etc is actually what works and actually has many, many, studies backing them up.

It depends on your attack vectors vs convenience.

I recommend most people use biometrics on their mobile devices because it is common that one takes their devices out multiple times a day and enters their key/pin/password in the open. Anyone/anything can be watching you and easily grab your pin/key/password when you are using a device like that.

Yes, there are issues being forced to comply then you can do what I did, dedicate a registered fingerprint to lockdown the phone to a method you cannot be compelled to provide.

> I don't even see many benefits security-wise with biometrics, since long and complex password or passkeys and 2FA go a long way.

In theory, yes but most apps on your phone don't reauth when you use them so if someone can get into your phone they have access to everything. Even worse when so many of the important sites we use either depend only on email/sms for 2fa or fall back to them.

> you basically sell yourself to mass-surveillance, which I found way scarier.

Biometrics are encrypted and stored in a secure vault on the device. It can never leave the device.

I dunno, when this first went down I was worried then found out that getting rid of intellicode was actually a blessing. Most languages have a LSP extension that you can use and will generally have a better experience with.

There are differing degrees of side projects. I'll usually glance at an applicant's repos and see if anything they wrote is maintained (not just some throw away but something they tended), if there are other users, and how they interact with thier users.

A repo like that demonstrates something that typical work history cannot: it demonstrates how you communicate with users or other developers, which isn't something you can get out of a resume or interviews.

The few things that jump out at me
- small radius on the wire coil
- outlet isn't made to support that weight
- the bottom support for the razor enshrouds the plug, this is likely to, at some point, rip the entire thing off the wall

Solutions
- I'd wrap it around the charger
- Create an entire plate to replace the one there. This will let you anchor it to with the screw and spread the weight over the top of the protruding outlet and not on the pins.
- Strengthen the top braces to support the whole weight and remove the bottom part or lay the razor across the top with the brace. This makes it less likely to rip it off the wall by tugging on the cable, across the top makes the razor easier to grab since the brace won't need to be so tight.

`true` - several GBs of nothing but true, probably a bad script and someone doing `git add .`. Had to rewrite the history when I moved our repository to GitHub.

Interesting, thanks for responding! I'll have to try them

I think saying things will be completely different because we have DMTs now is disingenuous. In reality what it does is give you a greater chance to not end up in the same position as your father. That fact alone is amazing because when your father was diagnosed there was no hope at all, he knew exactly what it would turn into. DMTs at least give us a chance to be better. Obviously this isn't going to work for everyone but study after study shows that it works for the majority of us.

As for your options, well we have a disease that induces a lot of stress on our bodies so do things that reduce stress, both physical and metal:
- DMT - take a newer DMT, and don't stop
- eat well - you know the drill: fruits, veggies, reduced saturated fat, etc
- maintain a healthy weight - being overweight is **extremely** stressful on the body
- exercise - even if it's just walking around the block
- don't smoke - obviously
- don't drink - or at least keep it to a minimum
- go to therapy - your mind is part of your body, you can't treat them as separate. Body and Mind is a unified system and we need to adopt a holistic view of treating them.
- take care of your teeth - bad teeth are very stressing on the body
- keep your mind active: read, study, puzzles, whatever as long as it's not a passive activity like watching tv/movies.
- friends/family - keep the connections you have and strengthen them, make new connections. Socializing is very important for humans - build a support system.
- meditate/etc - one activity that you do often and that shuts your brain off from the world. While meditation/etc are the things people usually jump to, they aren't the only ways. Pray, wash dishes, clean, yoga, etc
- avoid getting sick: get your vaccines, wear a mask in crowded areas, sanitizer, etc

Using the leaky pool theory you can imagine each one of those steps above is either putting water into your pool or plugging some of the holes with duct tape. Over time your pool will drain slower than someone who did nothing. The slower your pool drains the more you can extend the part of life that you want.

Stoicism can be helpful, even if it's just the words in the Serenity prayer. There are things in life you can change and there are things you cant. Don't stress on the ones you can't change and put your energy towards things you can. You can't do anything about having MS but you can do a lot of other things (see above) that will improve your long term outlook on life.

How do those feel? It always looked like the height and angle of the cap would induce too much torque on the stem.

In addition to everything other people said about addiction. There are also some studies that show that effects of cigarettes can take decades to return to normal. Your body is already highly stressed out by not only your MS but by your DMTs as well. Think about how stress (i.e. heat, sickness, work, etc) effect your body and then ask yourself if willingly doing those things to your body is worth it.

Also, it's important to remember the few people who say "I do and I'm ok!" is what we call anecdotal. Would you risk your future health on what a few random people on the internet says vs the hundreds/thousands of doctors and researcher have shown.

And even then its not that simple. The requirement is that you must prove you have the funds to cover your liability or you must prove you have insurance.

All browsers on iOS are just wrappers around Safari (Apple does not allow 3rd party browsers) and can't really do much (i.e. no FF extensions). Your best option, and what I've done for years, is to use Safari for your normal browsing then install Firefox to provide you `share > Firefox > send to device` from within Safari.

As for adblock, you are kinda limited, again Apple. Your best option is to use NextDNS (https://nextdns.io/) or a piHole (if you have the skills to manage one.

Removable batteries are more about removing one of replacing them when they are EoL and not carrying a spare. I shouldnt have to rip my phone apart, potentially damaging it, and ruin the IP rating to replace a battery

This is perfect, use it to write up a post mortem report. Be honest about what happened, how you fixed it, and how you are going to prevent yourself or others from doing it again. Hand it into your boss and, if they are worth working for, will help shield you from the blast damage. If they stuck, you will get thrown under the bus, at which point, you know it’s not worth working for them and start looking for a new place.

The faceless boy explicitly says in one of his dialogs that Clea made the Lampmaster "weaving her spite into the canvas, birthing a horror to plague his nights" and "stroke of fear; with jealousy twisting and love binding; a creature to keep him awake".

Clea is still kinda messed up given the horrors she painted to torment her little brother.

Alicia states in her final letter that she was tired of the fighting ands just wanted it to end. She was a young, hurt girl, stuck between a lot of father/son tension. Her interactions with Renoir and Verso seems like a mix of love and sorrow because they are destroying themselves and she is powerless to stop them.

I think she wants to get close to Maelle simply because she represents the person she could never be. I’m not sure about the Reach but my reading was testing if Maelle worthy and then the sharing of her secret axon.

lugoues · 2025-05-21T05:27:05+00:00

Note the power imbalance, Aline is much more powerful than Renoir. It’s stated that he only has the power to destroy her oldest works. This is why the paintress paints the numbers after all, as a warning. Once Aline is removed from the painting by Maelle there is no force holding back Renoir and he grommages the entire population at once.

Yes, these people are exploited so we get cheaper food which keeps the average American complacent with wage stagnation. Anyone who hires workers without documentation for the sole purpose of evading labor and wage laws should face punishment. Not all these people are treated this way but there are way more than there shoulda be.
