I think (and IANA astrophysicist) that they are saying because of the density of the sun, the forces of gravity are so strong at the core, that time dilation occurs, making time at the core pass more slowly than time at the surface. Over billions of years of existence, that adds up.

I started wegovy pill last month and have lost 30lbs so far, roughly 8% of my starting body weight.

I’m a fat fuck though, and my first pounds always come off easy. Plus there were a couple days I just didn’t eat because I was throwing up and/or diarrhea constantly.

Vomit seems to be punishment for eating bad food (or over-eating, which is easy to do from old habits but also the medication makes you feel full sooner, and you learn to set smaller portions quick)…probably something greasy. Choose the carrot or risk the stick.

Diarrhea just seems to be a fact of life. One minute I’m pissing out my ass, an hour later I’m having the healthiest looking stool of my life. Important to remain hydrated, I guess.

The starting doses are $149/mo with mfg coupon and no insurance. Higher doses I think are $199. I believe both are cheaper than the injected variety.

As much as I hate the fact that I have to pay out of pocket for any medication…I’m fairly sure my grocery bill dropped by more than $149 since starting.

In OpenWRT, I believe it’s in the settings for the “primary” ssid on each radio, which is usually the first one in the list (per radio) on the wireless settings page.

Openwrt also has options to block multicast or convert to unicast. Also make sure you are disabling lower speeds on the radio. That will reduce your max range, but devices that communicate slowly are another killer.

Broadcast and multicast both have to go at the ssid basic rate…the slowest speed supported by the AP. That could be 1Mbps. And then the AP has to repeat it. And depending on the type of traffic, this may also initiate more broadcasts from other devices on the network.

So if you can reduce broadcast/multicast, or increase the minimum speed, you’ll have significantly more time. Since wireless is a shared medium, “time” is really the most critical resource.

Other people’s wifi can affect yours, and vice versa, if they are occupying the same channel(s).

Most likely something on that channel is spamming multicast. That kills most consumer wifi routers (in default settings). Usually something like a sonos or Google home broadcast group.

Could also be a camera that’s constantly transmitting, also occupying the channel for a long time.

But really, it could be anything.

Use an app like PingTools (Android) that can graph what is on each wifi channel. Check to find the cleanest channels in your area and configure your router to use that channel.

Failing that, if it’s on your network and you don’t know what it is…change your Wi-Fi password to kick everything off, then slowly re-add devices with the new password until you find the culprit.

If you’re curious and technically-minded, I highly recommend this write up: https://www.wiisfi.com/

Also, you may be able to get better speeds by using narrower channels. Especially in busy areas. Easier to find 40-80MHz of clean spectrum than it is to find 160MHz. And even easier if you are open to using DFS channels (but these should generally be avoided). Doubling channel-width also doubles the noise, adding 3dB to the bad side of your SNR.

What causes speed drops and packet loss is almost always interference/weak signal. Getting high packet loss on an 80 or 160Mhz channel will be slower than a solid, clean signal on a 40MHz channel.

If you are closing your laptop, don’t. The antennas are usually located in the monitor bezel and are intended to be vertically-oriented, like they would if you were using the laptop. Having it shut means a lot of the signal is directed into the laptop chassis and your desk, which would especially impact upload from the device.

60 eggs all at once, or 5 batches of a dozen each?

As I understand it, you should be able to pile the eggs on in there, they shouldn’t move like they would in a full rolling boil.

But at the same time, I had been warned not to put all of my eggs together.

It’s pronounced OWN-ya. Not to be confused with the singer Enya.

You have to keep your tongue at the top of your mouth while you roll through the O-sound.

White boys have more trouble with this than rr.

I made boiled (well, steamed) eggs in my instant pot and they came out perfect…

Put eggs on trivet/riser. Add 1c water. Lid on, sealed. 5 minutes high pressure. 5 minutes off and sealed. 1 minute venting. 5+ minutes ice bath.

The ice bath is the critical part.

The shells slide off.

Extra big-ass language model.

It’s a florida ounce. Takes its roots in the cocaine industry of Miami in the 1980s.

A florida ounce is approximately equal to about 25g of mass (on earth), or 25mL of volume.

This is different from the imperial or US ounce, which is about equal to 28g or 29mL.

All (chicken, at least…probably other species too) eggs start out white…but pigments get added near the end of the egg development process.

That’s how my girls have eggs in many different colors.

You stare at her, and she just stares right back. And that’s when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side.

Um, there’s a mollusk, see…And he walks up to a sea, well he doesn’t walk up, he swims up. Well, actually the mollusk isn’t moving. He’s in one place and then the sea cucumber, well they… I mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. None of them were walking, so forget that I… There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea cucumber. Normally, they don’t talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks. So the sea mollusk says to the cucumber…

With fronds like these, who needs anemones?

Sometimes a monopoly can have so much money that it actually does some very significant amount of innovation. Look at Ma Bell.

The problem is to not let them get so big though. Then you’ve got to break it up and that gets hairy. Look at Ma Bell.

And then they might try to get back together. Look at Ma Bell.

And at the end of it, we might just end up with a duopoly of shit. Look at Ma Bell and Xfinity.

“Copilot, order me…uh…us one diet coke”

Hey that guy blowing lines off the toilet may, one day, become the US Secretary of Health and Human Services.

I’m a lot of things. But I am not mighty.

Do you have “his & hers” toilets? Or joining you on the same toilet?

GeoCities would like a word.

They had a pretty decent web-based WYSIWYG for the time, iirc.

IT WAS MADE FOR ME!
