I think you’re right. I’ve been disappointed with how slowly hardware has been gaining AV1 support. Only this year’s Apple silicon supports it. The most current Apple TV does not. The current Nvidia Shield does not. I don’t think any smart TVs support it. Most Android phones do not. Chromecast 4K does not. I don’t remember HEVC support taking this long to proliferate.
Almost none. Just be careful who you give your data to.
They really do fuck us in the Nordics. It’s DKK179 (SEK281, USD26) for the family plan here in Denmark. Granted that’s the whole family getting YouTube Premium and Music, but that’s also I think the highest price anywhere in the world.
This intra-hepatic lipid will promote the production and secretion of very low-density lipoprotein 1 (VLDL1) leading to an increase in post-prandial triglycerides. A vicious cycle occurs effecting insulin resistance as well. The lipid in the liver will increase insulin resistance resulting in increases in circulating diacylglycerol. Additionally, the insulin resistance will lead to further lipid deposit in the liver with sugar having a greater propensity to turn to fat (3). A downstream effect of increased apoCIII and apoB will lead to muscle lipid accumulation, and end in whole body insulin resistance. All of this metabolic dysregulation results from the direct route fructose initially takes to the liver.
Thanks for the link. If proven this would definitely be a bad outcome, but it doesn’t mean that a calorie deficit becomes a calorie surplus depending on the nutrient. If one is burning more than they’re consuming, the above is irrelevant insofar as weight gain is concerned. It’s relevant either way for diabetes.
I think you’re arguing different things, or you don’t understand the top comment. They are explaining that gaining weight is a function of net calories. The article you linked is effectively explaining glycemic index, or the rate at which food can be converted into energy by the body. Both of these are compatible. It’s wise to eat low GI food so that you feel sated for longer, but you don’t have to. You can eat exclusively white bread and lose weight if your net calories are negative.
The premise is so simple and endlessly flexible. They explore ALL the sci-fi tropes (some I’m sure they created). Great actors and characters. I always had a soft spot for Richard Dean Anderson.
He started saying some very weird things in the media, then stopped acting entirely and dropped off the map. Occasionally people would reach out to him to see how he’s doing and what he’s working on. Here is one interview William Shatner tried. It’s bizarre, but I can only find a small clip now. Avery kept answering in songs and riddles, as though mocking Shatner.
DS9 is excellent TV. Battlestar Galactica is up there too. I had similar feelings when I finished the series. Voyager is also very good. If you like sci-fi, Stargate is also seriously good.
It’s sad to see what happened to Avery Brooks. He’s totally off the deep end. He wouldn’t (or couldn’t) appear on the DS9 reunion movie, What We Left Behind.
That’s not a dictionary, friend. That’s an advocacy website. Do you not understand the distinction?
Merriam-Webster: a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence
Princeton: a person who comes to a country where they were not born in order to settle there
Cambridge: a person who has come to a different country in order to live there permanently
They will have a higher literacy level than someone fleeing Afghanistan. It’s pretty fucking obvious.
For the second time, no one is conflating economic migrants with refugees except you. I’m merely explaining that they’re both immigrants, as per all the reputable dictionaries.
I haven’t asked them to leave. I’m explaining that being friends and sharing homes with baby-murdering psychopaths makes them bad people.
You appear to be conflating economic migrants with refugees. I expect you to understand that both of those are immigrants. Are you just disagreeing with the English language now that it’s not convenient?
That definition of a refugee is perfectly compatible with the definition of a an immigrant. As per the definition, all refugees are immigrants. Not all immigrants are refugees.
Refugees are indeed immigrants.
immigrant: a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence
Biden has confirmed the reports. Is Biden a shill too?
It depends on the nation. The UN collects data. Afghanistan is 62.7% illiterate, for example. Further, Almost all refugees to Denmark have zero Danish language reading and writing skills. They must learn all of these. Slightly more (but shockingly few) have any English reading and writing skills.
Surely it isn’t surprising to you that refugees have limited European language skills?
Because supporting people makes things worse?
No. Reducing the capacity of already strained social services makes them worse. WTF is wrong with you that you want to remove social services from struggling people??
Well, I mean, they could stop cutting the heads off babies. That would be a good start, right? Maybe then they could enter peace agreements instead of starting wars, which they’ve done repeatedly for 70 years.

Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE.
Dates:
1937: Arabs reject the Peel Commission to create a Jewish and Arab state.
1947: Arabs reject the UN partition plan to create a Jewish and Arab state. Wage war against the new nation of Israel. Lose more land than the partition gave them.
1967: Israel wins yet another war against its Arab neighbors, conquering Gaza, the West Bank and Sinai in a defensive war. The Arab League declares the “three no’s”: No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel. Israel voluntarily hands control of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism back to the Islamic Waqf, and made it illegal for Jews to pray there.
1979: Israel voluntarily hands the Sinai back to Egypt, returning land conquered in a defensive war.
1993: Israel recognizes the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority over the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the Oslo Accords. Yasser Arafat uses it to support terrorism.
2000: Israel offers Yasser Arafat recognition of a Palestinian state in all of Gaza and 94% of the West Bank with East Jerusalem as its Capital. Arafat rejects it and launches the Second Intifada.
2005: Israel pulls out of the Gaza Strip, dismantles all its settlements, and forces Jews to leave their homes.
2006: The Palestinian people DEMOCRATICALLY votes hamas into power as its governing body
2008: Israel offers Mahmoud Abbas once again recognition of a Palestinian state in all of Gaza and 94% of the West Bank with East Jerusalem as its Capital and even offered to dismantle all their settlements. And once again, the Palestinians reject it.
2010-2021: Hamas launches periodic rocket attacks against the state of Israel and builds terror tunnels in order to kidnap and murder Jews while using the people of Gaza as human shields against the IDF.
2023: Hamas commits the worst act of mass murder against Jews since the Holocaust.
One more time in English please :)
We appear to agree about the situation as it is. However you are arguing you wish to make it worse. I, and most Europeans, do not.
Most of the people on Lemmy hate capitalism, so they very much object to the concept of using money to make money. They want to burn the entire system down. You won’t find much insightful discussion about economics here unfortunately. It’s mostly stuff they read in Das Kapital in their first year of college.
