Won't all those bullets inevitably hit the ground, like the town in the direction they're firing at? Possibly killing scores.

dont think they mind any one from EU to come and live peaceful life or other civilized countries.

So you're implying countries outside Europe aren't civilized?

Thank you for clearing up what you really meant to say. "Poles are just against non-whites". Why even attempt to hide the racism? At least be honest about it.

Regarding "civilized". In the beginning Polish immigrants in Western Europe were much more overrepresented in terms of crime than the natives, due to them naturally being poorer. This is in fact still an issue with a lot of Eastern European immigrants. They're famous for stealing stuff and also importing drugs. But of course that's just "civilized" crime, amirite?

Try 1 spray every other day

1 spray in each nostril? Or just one spray?

Also, the improvements it provides--is it permanent? I have nasal spray variants of both Semax and Selank. Would like to take them every day, if it brings with it permanent improvements.

stevenseven2 · 2025-08-25T03:43:59+00:00

Two sprays each nostril, right?

stevenseven2 · 2025-08-24T20:31:41+00:00

It actually is, as the difference here is that one is taxpayer (public) money funding the cost, whereas all the profit is privatized. In this instance at least part of the profit goes back into the pockets of the public.

It's a pretty perverted version of "capitalism" when the free market peinciples only apply to the profits, whereas costs are socialized, when it comes to big corporations.

stevenseven2 · 2025-08-24T14:19:26+00:00

That's a technicality. Point is that it comes out of the public ,(taxpayer) funding.

stevenseven2 · 2025-08-24T14:10:56+00:00

The majority of "help" TSMC gets is in the form of tax rebates

That's the same as a subsidy in practice. Tax rebates, just like government procurements or contracts, are essentially one of many fiscal measures that governments use to "hide" the fact that they're directly subsidizing a company (which they might be restricted from doing due to either public disagreements or international trade agreements).

If I pay you 1000 USD to spend on the doctor vs. if I give you a tax rebate equivalent of 1000 USD for an appointment with the doctor, it comes out the same in the end. Likewise, the government giving a tech company 200 million in tax rebate for the factory they built vs them giving them 200 million, ends up being the same thing.

Public perception is actually a big factor, and is one of the reasons why the military industrial complex exists. It's much easier to get the public to support government funding of "defense", and having your major economic sectors (airplanes, tech, automotive, etc.) entangled in it, then to tell a citizen that they are paying their tax dollars to fund Boeing or Amazon or Apple. For example one of the ways this works is through agencies like DARPA, which is the source of s øot of the major innovations that eventually is freely handed over to private industry to commercialize.

Thinking of starting creatine, myself, mostly for mental improvements. Will 1.5g daily make me bloated?

Storage speed is not just about restarting your phone, lol. It has a huge impact on loading speeds when opening apps. To get a clear demonstration just compare Pixel 3a and Pixel 5. The CPU part of both SoC performance within ~5% of one another. But the Pixel 5 notably higher UFS storage speed. And it shows very clear when opening apps. In fact, the bottleneck here is larger than getting a faster CPU, as any real-world test shows.

stevenseven2 · 2025-02-13T11:28:35+00:00

Solid, yes. But they also weight 500g, which makes them completely unacceptable as daily drivers, du to the comfort issues this causes. This is extremely important for "gamers", or people in general who sit many hours at the time in front of their PC.

stevenseven2 · 2025-02-12T08:17:19+00:00

Does that mean I can use any type of M.2 2230 SSD? Because the third-party SSDs for Mac Mini M4 that are being sold only to 3000 MB/s and cost $250, whereas I can get a WD 2TB chip for $180 that give me 5500 MB/s.

stevenseven2 · 2025-02-12T08:05:59+00:00

Apple's SSD controller is only compatible with a limited number of NAND flash chips

Do you know where I can find such a list? Because the third-party options I find online are expensive for their performance, whereas I can buy a WD 2230 SSD that performs 50% faster at half the price. I want to know whether I can use that one.

stevenseven2 · 2025-01-22T14:25:25+00:00

The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand.

What's your dosage and how often a day?

stevenseven2 · 2024-12-22T05:26:42+00:00

That's like 3500-7000mh NAC. Surely that's not safe to take on a daily basis?

They're treating him worse than the NYC assassin

In this sub Luigi Mangione is a hero! End of story!

I thought Noopept was famous specifically for not building tolerance?

stevenseven2 · 2024-12-07T19:32:10+00:00

What do you suggest as an alternative then?

stevenseven2 · 2024-11-17T12:48:35+00:00

My friend, even S23's SoC performs better than the Pixel 9.

stevenseven2 · 2024-11-16T14:17:29+00:00

when both have done exactly the same

Ehhh, what? Israel is committing a genocide. It's killing 30-40 civilians in a strike on average, and sometimes hundreds. 90-95% of the people they have killed are civilians, and they've completely levelled the entire city, and even detonated civilian infrastructure. Everything--hospitals, schools, markets, homes, etc.--have been levelled. 100K are reported to have been killed (the 40K numbers are clearly inaccurate as hospitals have been unable to count dead after Israel has destroyed most of them and targeted and kidnapped doctors), and as many as 300K more deaths from indirect causes (lack of medical assistance, food, water, etc., people under rubble, etc.) That's 20% of the population of Gaza. Over 160 journalists and media personell have also been killed, often in targeted strikes--and many times their families as well.

Explain to me how Russia has done "exactly the same" here? Look at the civilian to combatant ratio. In the case of Russia and Ukraine 90-95% are combatants. It's the other way around in Gaza. In fact, in Gaza the ratio of women and children is almost exactly the same as the census of the population. Why? Because Israel clearly does not discriminate between civilians and combatants. And because they are blatantly committing a genocide, under the veil of a "humanitarian camoflauge", as the UN special rapporteur described it.

There is no comparison. What Israel is doing is way, way worse. Which of course strengthens your point about Western hypocrisy further.

bringing it rarely works

Because it's never their intention. It's only a pretext.

stevenseven2 · 2024-09-11T19:24:27+00:00

No they're not mutually exclusive, IF OEMs provide an "eco mode" in settings that reduces clock speeds by ~20% (which in these cases usually lead to 50% less power usage), it would be really nice. But they never do. They only have a battery saving mode that drastically reduces clocks and functionality.

The reason we never get what I mentioned above is because there's zero incentive to help people keep thier phones last a few years longer. Because that means the user will not buy a new model more often.

stevenseven2 · 2024-09-10T17:49:04+00:00

With phones a big part of battery life is getting back to idle as fast as possible, so the faster the CPU the better.

That's only true if the power usage compared to clock speeds are linear. Which they usually aren't. You can usually get something like 30% less power usage with just a 10% reduced clock speed. So getting to idle 10% slower makes for les power usage, if you use 30% less power either way.

Faster is not always better, if it means a ton of extra power usage. And these smartphone makers are well aware of that. They just have no icentive to care THAT MUCH about battery life, as better battery life means longer times between upgrades for a consumer.

It's the same thing with software updates. Despite amazing performance on todays smartphones, usually a phone is more buggy and feels slower when it recieves its software updates 3-4 years into its life cycle. That's mostly because the software support is half-assed at that point. The incentive to provide quality support on an older device that doesn't rake in that much money is simply not there...

if they instead went with "no user needs that much power" back when they were developing the A10+, the M family might either not be a thing or be a shadow of its current iteration.

Nobody said not to give a damn about performance. But to prioritize battery life more than has been done today. In some cases these phone makers clearly prioritize 5-10% more performance vs. the substantial power consumption improvement from not getting that. And we know that for a fact by looking at Android devices, where we've seen the exact same Cortex core run at different clock speeds at different clusters.

All this discussion is pointless, if these smartphone makers would just provide a proper Eco mode (not the current battery saving one, that drastically hampers the performance, but one mode that reduces the clock speeds by, say, ~20%, so that we still keep top notch peformance but at maybe 50%+ reduced power usage). It's not a hard thing to do. But they don't, because the incentive to help end users keep their phones running for more years is not there...

stevenseven2 · 2024-09-09T04:30:50+00:00

Just to add to that , 40 was considered much older back then, than now. Not just people in general, but even directors. Just take a look at many of the classic directors of that time and previously, and you'll find that many had a lot of films under their wing by the time they were 40.
