I’d like to point out that grilling and barbecue are different things. Most guys do not barbecue. Grilling is extremely common, though.

What stood out the most to you about Americans sexual hang-ups?
The thing that stood out the most was some latent inherent shame to being naked. When my wife and I first got together, we’d rent some cheap hotel rooms and go there to hook up, she’d get there first and shower. I’d arrive and she’d answer the door naked and it was just wild to me. She was so comfortable in her own skin and fine just existing totally naked (in the appropriate circumstances). I had to quickly recalibrate what I thought was “normal” and my life was improved as a result.

Should have used a Texas ID, Mr. Sample.
- Comment on Beyond fucked up 2 weeks ago:
The biggest thing I learned from living in Italy for two years and then marrying a Korean woman a few years after that is that Americans have fucked up views on sexuality and nudity. I came from a pretty liberal secular hippie type family and I was surprised to find I had some residual cultural hang ups just from growing up in the US.

I’ve had about 275 BTC pass through my wallets throughout the years. I actually used it. My friend who was “too stupid” to use it still has 2 of them from the $10 BTC era.
Never saw it as an investment, just something to help me get acid in the mail.

They wish they were in an antenna and going out as radio waves, but instead they’re in a dummy load. 50ohm is a common antenna impedance.

- Comment on Cone snails 4 weeks ago:
The cone snail referenced in the study you linked, Conus geographus, also has the same ion channel disrupting venom that is typical of cone snails. If you were bit by one, you’d die of paralysis, not hypoglycemia.
It does appear to use an insulin-like peptide to initially stun the fish, but the coup de grâce is from typical paralytic conotoxins.
A cool discovery nonetheless and TIL.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25301479/
Conus geographus is the most dangerous cone snail species known, with reported human fatality rates as high as 65%. Crude venom gland extracts have been used to determine animal LD50 and to aid the isolation of several potent paralytic toxins. […]The molecular composition of individual defense-evoked venom showed significant intraspecific variations, but a core of paralytic conotoxins including α-GI, α-GII, μ-GIIIA, ω-GVIA and ω-GVIIA was always present in large amounts, consistent with the symptomology and high fatality rate in humans.

I’m a biochemist and my university studied conotoxins for use as analgesics. They’re ion channel blockers.
- Comment on Cone snails 4 weeks ago:
It’s got nothing to do with insulin or glucose levels, though. It blocks either sodium or potassium channels, can’t remember off the dome. Temporarily ruins the electrical conductivity of nerves.

- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 4 weeks ago:
None of the above. Algorithmically generated playlists based off song/album/artist, decades, genres, top rated tracks, etc. including intelligent auto mixing based on key/BPM with crossfading, and ability to choose tracks not only from your own libraries, but from all libraries shared with you.

That is metabolism. CICO will make literally anyone gain or lose weight. Nothing in the universe violates thermodynamics.
Not eating anything for a month is an eating disorder.

Doesn’t have the excellent Plexamp automix nor ability to add all my friends shares to my radio stations.
I appreciate the efforts but I’m very happy with my current setup.

I’m specifically doing this to get family and friends to cancel their streaming subscriptions. Not to save them money, to hurt the corporations more than I can do just myself.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 4 weeks ago:
I dunno, maybe it didn’t when I was first setting up my server a few years back. It doesn’t have Plexamp though and that’s a deal breaker.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 4 weeks ago:
I’m a Plex server guy for friends and family, I have about a dozen users and maybe 3-4 at a time at the peaks. I charge nothing, it’s just a hobby. We’re out there.
I’d switch to Jellyfin but my users need transcoding and Plexamp is my favorite audio player since Winamp.

I miss the era of overclocking for easy performance gains. Pencil modding a Duron to an Athlon and increasing clocks by mounting a big fat copper heatsink and cranking vcore. You could save tons of money just by learning fun shit and having a modicum of technical ability. Now everything is dynamic clocks and power limits and it’s all so boring. My 5800X3D / 5090 absolutely tears ass out of the box but there’s no tweakability and I miss that shit.
The first boot of a computer during the era of jumpers for setting vcore was a tense experience. Will the magic smoke come out? Never did, but I always puckered up.
