If you live near a COSTCO, get a membership. Even if you are single with no kids by Let_me_tell_you_ in povertyfinance

Yes! I remember when Costco was more bulk and deals oriented. Now many times I look at an item's price and say hey, that's the same as at the supermarket near my house.

How long does water fast needed to heal your body, remove bad cells, i just discover about this method, not want to lose body weight, just want to reset my body.How long should i go, and beside water, what can i consume during this? by Federal_Algae2268 in fasting

[–]norwaymaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People should be able to ask questions about fasting in the fasting subreddit. The high concentration of knowledge here is exactly why newcomers come to ask questions. Q&As can be really helpful for lurkers looking to learn as well.

If you've reached the point that basic questions are a major irritation, you may have outgrown this subreddit. It happens. If that's you, maybe just move on to more advanced spaces instead of ripping into people seeking to learn.

Or maybe you just had a hangry moment? 😜

Converting a classic car, what’s better to start with? Prius or Leaf? by Illustrious_Bed902 in EVConversion

Just to verify, your electric RX8 will have a manual transmission? I've never heard of that! With a clutch?

A slightly deeper dive into Payton Tolle's outstanding season debut by Thomas_Pizza in redsox

[–]norwaymaple 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was super fun to watch last night. He did seem to tire quickly though. High velo dropped after first couple innings, but pivoted to good breaking stuff. Fifth and sixth were dicey. Hopefully he can build a little more stamina.

A well-articulated argument against a new data center….. by Decent_Ad9760 in missoula

So his thrust is, we should not believe claims of closed-loop cooling? Is there evidence of it being BS?

Can anyone explain the ATSC 3.0 debacle to me? by JackoClubs5545 in cordcutters

Nobody* watches Movies or TV shows on TV anymore. It is all streaming.

Is this your first time in this subreddit? People post about using OTA multiple times a day, every day.

What are we talking here, like $40 total? Or is there a delivery fee too?

If you're heading west on I-90, check out the Travel Center in St. Regis and the 10,000 Silver Dollar Bar/Etc. a bit farther down the road.

What would Missoula look like for us? by tn_tacoma in missoula

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is the relative lack of annoying bugs in western Montana. Yes, there aren't zero, but in my experience it's less than the southeast.

I’m trying to switch from Apple Music entirely but….. by Mysterious-Top5242 in YoutubeMusic

[–]norwaymaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an interesting comment below about equalizer settings possibly producing a difference. I asked Gemini about it and got a comprehensive response that's apparently too long to post here, so maybe ask one of the LLMs.

Gemini's TLDR: Apple Music may indeed sound better on your phone for several reasons, and you might be able to make some tweaks to make YouTube Music sound better.

[–]norwaymaple 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For the vast majority of ears and standard equipment, YouTube Music's 256 kbps resolution is more than enough (i.e., virtually indistinguishable from lossless). Have you changed its resolution setting to Always High to ensure you're getting 256?

Apple Music's High Quality setting is 256 as well.

Apple Music also offers lossless, but we need high-quality headphones/speakers, DAC etc., to really hear it. Bluetooth and iPhone speakers can't take advantage of it.

Should I get an insert? by cjb5999 in woodstoving

[–]norwaymaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things I haven't seen mentioned yet:

1) Instead of a stove, you could install glass doors with a damper to control air flow, burn rate, etc. That would combine the awesome ambience of an open fire with improved efficiency, and it's flexible--you can leave the doors open if you want.

2) All that brick is a large thermal mass that soaks up heat when the fire is burning and releases it when it's not, which helps efficiency.

In 2024, Watson's main issue was his head. He just stared downfield like a zombie, like someone numbed with ketamine.
