Peerless Assassin isn’t much more expensive. I have it on my Ryzen 5700x, and it’s never audible. At idle my PC is pretty much silent and while playing games GPU and case fans hides any noise the PA makes.

This diet is based on Dr. Roy Taylor’s research on Type 2 Diabetes, and its reversal. He and his team noticed that people with T2D have fat in their liver and pancreas. They confirmed this with a new MRI imaging technique that they developed. Regardless of body weight, if you have fatty liver/pancreas you have T2D or at least pre-diabetes. But, if your liver and pancreas are healthy, you can be overweight and not have T2D.
They call it the twin cycle hypothesis. Google it up, but short is this. If fat builds up in your liver, it starts a cycle that among other things causes the liver to send fat in to your pancreas, which starts another cycle in the pancreas, which feeds the liver’s cycle. As the pancreas gets more and more fatty, the insulin producing beta-cells begins to de-activate, which leads to T2D.
They wanted to test whether this hypothesis is true, and if so, is T2D reversible. How to do that? Their T2D test subjects must loose weight. What’s the fastest way to do that? Extreme caloric restriction.
They put their subjects on a diet consisting of 4 doses of meal replacement formula per day (800kcal/day). Their subjects noticed that it’s actually quite easy to stick to that diet after couple days.
The results of their studies is that if people loses enough fat to free their pancreas from fat, their pancreas can heal and return to normal, reversing T2D. But, there is always a but. If T2D has been going for too long (over 6 years in their studies), too many of the beta-cells have died, and full reversal of T2D is not possible.
Note: Extreme caloric restriction is very dangerous if you are on T2D medication. Do your own research and talk to your doctor. I tried to use correct terms so it’s easy to check the things.
This is a good point. Black PSU and motherboard might stand out too much in that light, white-ish case.
I agree with this. Could easily save $200 buying some older and lower spec components. CPU choice is probably because of the iGPU, but there are other cheaper CPUs with iGPU. I don’t think the use case is going to require more computing power in the future, so I don’t know if future proofing is really necessary. If the use case changes some few years from now, you need to buy new components regardless of your choices today. Save some money now and put it towards a future upgrade.
16GB DDR4 is enough. That’s about $40 off. SSD is pointlessly big for the use case. 250GB might be enough, but even 512GB would be a bit cheaper.
CPU could be downgraded to something a couple generations older. Motherboard can also be downgraded, unless that one has some important features. That saves at least $150 total.
PSU is a complicated question. Cheaper would be enough, but you might lose money over time in your electricity bill. That’s kind of difficult to calculate.
Ozempic’s maker is just trying to protect Americans from the harmful side effects with the unconscionably high price.
Depending on your needs, virtual machine might be the easiest solution.
Loose-leaf tea steeped in a gaiwan, which ever tea leaves I happen to have.
I am so oversensitive to caffeine, that I tend to lose my sleep if I drink even a cup of coffee a day. So, if I drink coffee, I prefer decaf. There are some good decaf coffees nowadays.
Fun fact: Black tea is called red tea in China, because of the color.
L-theanine might help with caffeine’s side effects. Theanine is a compound found in tea. It’s believed to reduce the negative side effects of caffeine, without affecting the positive effects of it.
From Remedy’s business review JANUARY–MARCH 2024
Codename Condor, a part of the Control franchise, moved to full production meaning it has reached the final development stage before a game is launched. Based on wide internal playtests, we can see that the core loop is engaging, and the game brings a unique Remedy angle to the genre.
Control 2 team has focused on finalizing the proof-of-concept stage, in which the game world, game mechanics and visual targets are proven. We expect the project to advance to the production readiness stage during the second quarter of 2024.
Max Payne 1&2 remake continued in the production readiness stage. The game is expected to move into full production during the second quarter of 2024.
Codename Kestrel continued in the concept stage. The team works to refine the game concept.
Or just wait for the reviews, and then the next sale. These Steam sales aren’t one-off special offers, they happen a few times every year.
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux is a fun read.
Keychron K3 Max
He’s the savior of our planet!
Hopefully! It can’t come soon enough… unless they rush it, I suppose. But that’s usually not Remedy’s style.
I had a similar thing happen to my smooth PEI sheet. Forgot to change sheet profile before printing and printer made some noises during printing. At first thought that the sheet is damaged, but after several days noticed that the sheet is actually fine. The noise was the extruder skipping because there wasn’t enough room for the material to go anywhere, and the lines on the sheet were just a very thin transparent layer of the material. Difficult to say from the images, but the lines seem to have the texturing intact? That implies the sheet is fine. The thin lines are difficult to remove without damaging the surface, especially because you have textured sheet, so you can’t use any solvent like acetone.
Are you sure the surface is damaged, and not just some material stuck on the sheet? Looks to me just a very thin layer of material on the sheet.
Does that not mean that they can also train AI to use the narrator’s voice and style to read books without paying a penny for the narrator?
This is a Bluetooth issue, not Linux or Deck specific. When microphone is enabled on a headset, Bluetooth will switch to a different audio codec. That codec supports one output channel (microphone) and one input channel, so it will be mono audio. The sound quality is good enough for audio calls but not for anything else. The only thing you can do is to disable the microphone. Or, you can do what people have done for couple decades now: complain at Bluetooth Special Interest Group until they improve the standard.
