Google tv streamer 4k is pretty good but recently went up in price due to RAM shortages

I don’t even need half of the storage, RAM and CPU speed in here.

This is kinda surprising to me. I constantly feel limited by the 8GB ram in my Pixel. I thought it would be a noticeable upgrade from my previous 6GB but it honestly barely is. Apps are killed in the background immediately after leaving them and tabs are very quickly unloaded. Even with nothing open, I typically only have <2 free gigs. Everything is very bloated these days to the point where it’s fairly common for even websites to consume several hundred megabytes of RAM on their own. Might be fine for some but I don’t see myself buying anything with less than 16GB in the future if I can avoid it.

CPU power is much less of a big deal, but Google tensor is kind of anemic and it shows. My phone struggles to even compute cloudflare security checks sometimes and apps take a pretty long time to install. Thermal management and efficiency/battery drain is downright terrible. Video calls absolutely kill the battery.

I don’t personally have a need for a ton of storage on a phone, but I can understand why people would if they’re torrenting or have local media, etc.

That said, I don’t really want to spend this amount of money on anything less than perfect. This thing is way too large for me physically and it probably won’t be very repairable either. Currently debating whether to buy a pixel 9 or 10 pro now vs wait for a cheaper moto option.

Shit post*

Guess I can check off number 15 after seeing this post

Glad to see the great snail race champion is in good health.

Kind of a selective reading of this paper.

Taylor et al47 evaluated whether hot air dryers change the levels of airborne microorganisms in the washroom environment. They found that air emitted from the dryer outlet contained fewer microorganisms than air entering the dryers. They also found that levels of microorganisms on the external surfaces of hot air dryers were not different from those on other washroom surfaces. Thus, the authors argued that hot air dryers were appropriate for use in both the health care and food industry. Similarly, Matthews and Newsom48 compared the bacteria aerosols released into the air when drying hands by using 4 different models of hot air dryers and by using paper towels. They found no difference between aerosols liberated by paper towels and 2 models of hot air dryers, whereas the other 2 models of hot air dryers generated fewer aerosols than paper towels. They concluded that hot air dryers were safe from a bacteriologic viewpoint.

Wow this might actually be the most braindead thing I’ve seen on this whole website. Is that what makes it a shitpost to you?

Over 2-4 years, which tends to be the peak of sri related weight gain after which weight tends to plateau

didn’t just puff up like Violet in a chocolate factory

I’m sure you didn’t. I don’t doubt that the meds contributed somewhat, but there’s just no evidence that these agents can cause a weight gain of that magnitude on their own. Even the individual uncontrolled longitudinal studies that show the highest amounts of weight gain demonstrate at most 5-8kg increase.

There is no way that amount of weight gain was caused by an sri. Maybe you were on something else like an atypical/tricyclic antidepressant? Or maybe you were just depressed?

Mirtazapine is an appetite stimulant. They give it to old people a lot so they eat and sleep better. Happy it works for you though

Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to tease these things apart because depression itself causes weight gain and there are medication adherence issues especially with longer term studies, but the most well-controlled data suggests that sris don’t play much of a role in weight gain for most people

Yeah other meds are different. I assumed OOP was referring to sris because of the cum thing

It’s true that differences between how individuals react to sris is pretty large and that <0.5kg number is a population wide average

Almost any time you see “University Does X” in a headline, replace “university” with the name of the president board of trustees.

President is just a PR and day to day operations person typically, there to catch flak from students with no real power.
