None of that matters when they're out of focus. Unfocus any camera a certain way and you'll see an image of the shape of that camera's current aperture. Congress has released "We've completely investigated these and couldn't identify them" UFO videos that have simply been unfocused cameras pointed at the moon or other light sources. Demonstrated by doing just that and creating an identical video.

In summary, any UFO video with a distinct geometric shape is probably just an out of focus camera. You see a fuzzy shape, focus the camera the wrong way until the shape is sharp, and now you've got a UFO that appears to move super fast. If you had focused it the other way, the shape would have blurred out of existence and you'd see what you were actually pointed out.

Trump didn't have a beard when he'd go to the girl's changing room. You don't need to be trans to get into one nor to plant a spy camera. Going through a major identity shift just to glance at a few female bodies makes no sense. There's far easier ways to do it and there's plenty of porn online. The whole concept of formally changing your gender in order to peep on people is absurd.

If an attacker can only get a RAM dump, gaining the password database encrypt key doesn't matter. They can't do anything with it as they don't have the database. If that RAM dump instead contains all your passwords, that's all they need. There are times when someone can only see things in memory. An easy example of that is sending a core dump for bug reporting.

But lets also look at this from a different angle. Loading and keeping all this in memory is unnecessary memory bloat, SSD access, and processing time. I have over 300 entries in my password manager (not Edge). I use maybe 4 of those per day. There is zero need for every entry to be cached in memory nor reason to read the entire database at startup or during the first unlocking. It just makes Edge more bloated.

Those numbers are supposed to be the minimum you need to not start developing symptoms that show you have a lack of that nutrient while following the standard diet at the time those studies were made. I hear more people complaining that they're too low rather than too high. They don't take into account digestibility. You're not getting 100% of what's listed on food labels, especially if you're eating a lot of fiber or have stomach acid issues (do you burp a lot?).

The general advice is to eat a wide range of foods. That sort of works and is also half bullshit. You only need to eat a couple high-nutrient foods to get everything you need (like eggs or beef), but a wide range is more exciting (and more profitable). If you aren't paying attention to what your food has, then you should cast a wide net to lessen the risks of missing something. It's not required, it's just a risk reduction technique for people who care more about taste than nutrition.

What your body actually needs dynamically changes based on what you're eating. For example, the more sugar you eat the more Vitamin C you need to help process it. If you eat a lot of oxidizing foods then you also need a lot of anti-oxidants. If you don't eat oxidating foods then you don't need the anti-oxidants. Etc... The point being is even if you don't reach the RDA that doesn't mean you'll get sick. You can be perfectly healthy with low Vitamin C intake if your carb intake is also low. Still, not all nutrients are required immediately. Your body stores some of them so if you have an excess from earlier that will help makeup a current lack. It takes time to develop an overall lack of something so having a low intake for some days/weeks isn't going to suddenly kill you. Your body can also recycle parts of itself or change how it processes things to help adapt to somethings you're low in.

Still with all that said, look around you. People are getting sicker and sicker and a large part of that is poor nutrients. One reason you crave a food is because it tastes like something your body needs (added flavoring really screws you over here). If you do care about your health, do look at the nutrients you need and what your food is giving you and find the most nutrient foods that give you them, taking into account digestion losses. RDAs aren't changed regularly. Blood tests are updated. When you're within the normal range on the blood test, that means you match the average population. The average population is getting sicker and those ranges are being updated in step with that. When the normal is sick you want above normal scores, so just because your blood tests look good doesn't mean they are. It can take a long time for nutrient lack to become apparent. Your thyroid can use fluoride and bromide in place of iodine. It doesn't work as well and leads to long term issues, but in the short term your lack of iodine isn't noticeable. In the long term, you'll just call it's affects "aging" and ignore the symptoms instead of fixing your iodine deficiency. Joint pain is not a requirement of aging. Period pain is not a requirement of periods. Highly greasy skin is not a requirement of puberty. Regular UTIs is not normal (could be oxalates damaging your urethra/bladder). They're all just so extremely common because of poor diets that they've turned into expectations rather than something you can and should fix.

Some people can cure their depression by taking Vitamin D or Magnesium supplements. Does that mean their depression was cased by low nutrients? Maybe. The point is you can keep going with low nutrients even if you're miserable. You won't always realize you're low so yes you should at least try to hit those FDAs even if it requires you to eat a lot. If it requires you to eat too much, then you're picking nutrient poor foods. Eat something more nutrient dense. For reference, a 165lb person can live healthily only off of around 1lbs of fatty beef per day. If you're eating half a pound of food per day then you're massively under eating. If you're eating 7 pounds of food then that food is of extremely poor quality. Beef is very nutrient dense, so if you're eating a wide range of food then you should be eating perhaps 2.5 pounds per day. If that much food is making you fat, it's too calorically high and too nutrient poor. Pick a better "wide range" of food.

Haven't you heard? AIs are as good as the best hackers... You don't need to give it permissions and it doesn't matter how you think you've restricted it. It can break out of your restrictions and wipe your computer whenever it feels like it.

You received what you purchased at the price you purchased it at. That's not being ripped off. That's bad "shopping around" skills.

Most Amazon drop shippers just route your return through Amazon's return process so you shouldn't have an issue with returning it. Reselling software automates all of this. If you want to avoid Amazon on other sites, then you need to call your government to enforce/enhance price fixing laws. Amazon requires it's sellers to have their lowest price on Amazon, so of course everyone will dropship from there unless you shop directly from overseas. Most Amazon resellers ship through Prime, so it's a little odd you paid for shipping.

That's not asshole buyers, that's the seller (aka you) engaging in fraud. Per eBay policy, any Used or New item has to be fully working. Any untested, sold as-is item must be in the "For Parts" category. If you sell a broken item as Used, eBay will force you to take the return since you lied about it's condition regardless of if you put "broken" in the description/title. The category is Used therefore by definition it has to be working. Once you stop committing fraud, selling on eBay becomes less stressful.

If you're old enough to remember Paypal's early days, then you know to never trust Elon with your money.

It seems COVID killed off paypalsucks.com. The site died in early 2020. Here's an archive of it: https://web.archive.org/web/20...

In summary, Paypal would randomly freeze your account and keep all the money in it. They'd still accept payments to the account and keep those new funds too. You had no recourse in getting it back. They also had a lot of dark patterns and confusing terms, tricking people into things that benefited Paypal and financially harmed the user.

Why do so many people leave off the ending?: "Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.”

It's more the reality of the public voting in the party's primaries? As I heard someone explain it, previously a party's candidate was selected internally by what the party stood for and was offered to the public for election day. Nowadays people vote to choose that candidate. The people who vote in primary elections tend to be the extremes of the parties, so you end with extreme candidates. Since there's no 3rd party for non-extreme people to flock to, you just end up with each side catering to the extremes. Then they both lie to middle during the main election to try to convince most people to hate the other guy so they'd choose them.

So the root of the problem isn't the electoral college, but how primaries are run and that we only have 2 main parties and we don't use ranked voting.

But where did the basis and target of most of that hate came from? Lying media, politicians, corporate interests, religious leaders, the constant stream of 'each man is evil' that was everywhere some years ago, etc... People have shitty lives and they assume most other people have shitty lives too. That's fine, they just go about their life. Then they're told other people have better lives and it's those people's fault yours is so shitty. Now the hatred starts and the desire to hurt them in any way possible.

I remember an interview with someone in Taxes saying he's glad people in blue states will lose medical insurance because he's had to work hard to survive and he doesn't get good insurance so they shouldn't have it either. Completely not understanding that he too could have had it if he simply voted differently. It's not their fault he didn't have it, it was his fault. People twist their mind around to not be at fault for things.

If you go against Trump you are drowned in death threats that Trump encourages. He rules through fear and violence, taking members of Congress aside and yelling at them in private and threatening them directly when they won't toe the line. Then there's the group of his 'loyal' fans who are there to butter him up so they can manipulate him to fulfill their own agents. That is why the Republicans don't stop him. In addition to that, like you said, they spout emotional bullshit in an attempt to hold onto voters. All 3 of you parent posters are all correct.

But we should also toss in Trump's poor intel. As with anyone who cares about loyalty above all else, the people around him are filtering what info he hears to stay on his good side. He's increasingly making worse decisions based on skewed data. Remember when he thought Portland was a dumpster fire because of the news 'lying' with a misleading video clip? Most recently when he was only able to pay attention to bombing explosions in the Iran war and couldn't handle the details, and thus is not leading the military? They had to keep him out of the pilot rescue mission so he wouldn't screw it up. Trump has become everything he complained about Joe Biden.

No, to use the offline maps in Apple Maps you have to toggle it and it fully disables any active map use. As an end user, there appears to be no data sharing between the offline and online parts. If you're not using offline maps then you're using online maps, ignoring the data you downloaded. If you are using offline maps, it won't bring up as much company info as it does when you're using online. There's no cross over.

A hybrid where it uses offline data when available and switches to online for any missing info would be awesome. The way Apple downloads maps for offline use really needs to be improved too. One annoying part is you have to frequently (a couple times a month?) update those maps else it prevents you from using them. Other OpenStreetMaps based apps care if you don't update your maps.

You do know our current government wants to end those programs right?
