Some 40 years ago Margaret Thatcher gave our water supplies to private companies as a clean asset. No debt attached to it, the one of about 5bn was taken care of by the taxpayer. The water companies were supposed to modernise the water supply, keep the prices low and improve water quality.
What happened instead: we have a regional monopolisation of water supply (did Margaret approve it?), we have bills going up, pipes barely maintained so we get some water (mine often loses pressure), the quality is questionable and there is around £14bn debt accrued over those decades, while they paid themselves £72bn of profit or dividends as shareholders worldwide. They milked us like cows. And now, to finally fix the pipe network, which they neglected, by 2035, it is the taxpayer that is asked to foot the extra bill, and/or increasing the bills by 50%.
Are we going to let it happen?
What does Rishi Sunak say?

One thing the opponents to further aid to Ukraine miss, when they keep repeating how Ukraine failed to make a break-through, is, that Ukraine hasn't focused too much on physical push on the frontlines, merely repelling the constant suicide attacks of the hordes, but Ukraine has been using the missiles and what they have, including the sea drones, to undermine logistics of the invaders, from behind. The fields were full of mines, one square meter has about two mines on average in some regions, the progress on such field is difficult. But they have tools to de-mine. Just the top priority is to disrupt the logistics so when they finally do go ahead, they have the least causalties possible. Please keep supporting Ukraine, don't stop at the point when they are just about to turn the tides. That would be a big failure o your side. And charge Kremlin's shills like Elon Musk with treason. What he is doing is not a freedom of speech. He clearly has one-sided agenda, never said anything positive about Ukraine, on their defence, not a bit of sentiment about their struggle. But he happily amplifies Kremlin's propaganda on his X platform, giving space to propagandists, racists, and accusing his opponents from child molesting, knowing it will charge up his followers against his opponents. Free speech is not only what you like to spread, Elon.

Count me in. 40 something, bought a house just 6 years ago, with a healthy deposit, because we didn't need to prove our worth by spending money on things we didn't need. Moving out of an expensive city, getting good jobs, living cheap, both handy so a lot of things we could fix ourselves, even mending years old jacket instead of throwing it away, buying quality and long lasting shoes... things can be done if people want and know how to. I could go out and spend, spend, spend. What for? Impress whom? My pride is in fixing things and repurposing them.

Not exactly minimalist, spent a little fortune on crafting supplies in the past few years, but I am quite savve and hate wasting stuff that is still good. Even brought back to life my 15 yo laptop, learned new skills by refurbishing it and putting Linux into it. Even with Microsoft denying support to Win10 computers next year, making millions still good to go machinees unsafe and e-waste overnight, mine will go Linux too, the newer machine, getting many more years out of it without being forced to buy a new one, compatiblle with Win11 or whatever comes after it. Also preparing most food at home and taking home made coffee in a flask with me, saving myself a fortune. Also generally debt free and actually overpaying mortgage, so we save on that one too. There are people truly struggling, despite not overspending but many are overspending because they have no financial intelligence.

@Kshahdoo67 According to various sources, the median salary in Russia varies depending on factors such as occupation, experience, and location.0 According to Sberindex in 2020, the median salary for all industries in Russia was 31,540 rubles or $500 per month in January and 38,278 rubles or $520 per month in December.1 According to Salary Explorer, the average salary ranges from 26,200 RUB (lowest average) to 463,000 RUB (highest average) in Russia.0 The average nominal salary in Russia was measured at 73,709 RUB per month in 2023, marking an increase of 8,371 RUB compared to the previous year.

In addition, the same is for Microsoft OS. They keep making changes, adding features, removing features, turning back on settings we turned off, installing back bloatware we uninstalled previously, and they are making it more and more difficult to customise features, even any .exe file not from their store being flagged as malware and refusing to install it, even if it is a legitimate software. Win11 will disable customising the start menu, for example. Even if you pay for the licence in every your computer you buy with this OS, you still just rent their licence and they can do whatever they please. Even if you pay for your content, you are still the product. This is the times we have come to. Me personally going Linux, for these reasons. No OS is perfect, but at least I have a better control over my computer I paid for, and I can use it for many more years after Microsoft has made it redundant as not compatible with their new shenanigans. I claimed my old ex-vista laptop back this way, too! As long as my machines work fine I have no reason to replace them, just because the monopolistic bully wants me to.

@MichaelDomer speaking for myself: MS owns the software, the hardware is mine, I paid for it, I want to have a control over it. MS collects my data, it trades with it, they use me as a product, and if I have a Pro version, I pay extra in comparison to just a Home Premium, so MS isn't quite free for me, is it? I pay for that one, too when I buy a PC. I should have rights to control what that software does with my hardware. And if my MS account was hacked, I don't want to lose my access to my PC completely if the MS account was the only one on it. Or do you find it fair to be a hostage of a service I paid for? I don't.

Too much is obviously too much, but if you fear the vitamin D would calcify your arteries, you also have to take K2 vitamin, to make sure that calcium you absorb more of thanks to vit D, goes into the bones, not calcifying your arteries. Hence the best health therapy is a varied diet with plentiful various nutritious sources, to make sure we will get enough of everything we need, instead of overdoing it with a handful of compounds, out of context, some competing for absorption with each other, so taking too much of one will knock-off the other and cause another deficiency.

Thanks for explaining us the background. I also wondered how they can do it so cheap, and thought there was some extra contract on bulk shipping. Sometimes two or three separate small orders arrive in one bag as one item (more of a letter size and thickness items), wrapped individually inside as they left the production and would otherwise arrive individually anyway. I don't know who does this grouping, but at least THIS saves extra work to our postal services. It has a sticker label with Chinese on it so I guess it happens on their side of the ocean.
I have been and will keep purchasing from China though. It is mostly items for creative activities, not a mere consumerism of trainiers or clothing or other pointless gadgets ending up in the landfill in no time, which I do NOT buy there. I wear proper leather and other branded shoes bought here which last me for years and years and are kind to my body, and returns if not fitting are easy and pain free. I generally buy directly from China stuff I cannot find here, or that I can is extremely overpriced for what it is. I don't mind paying for postage some reasonable fee and I rarely get any free postage from them (Aliexpress exclusively, I haven't tried other platforms and I don't intend to). I only get a free postage when making an order of a certain volume/cost, or the items I look for and find with a free postage have already this price included in the item price. An item worth of 75p came with £2.80 postage charge (plus VAT) or other seller offered it for £3.70 straight. One way or another. By avoiding a middle man I not only save, but often avoid subsidising another unscrupulous business like Amazon. Or items listed on e-bay still coming directly from China regardless, as someone mentined already, just me paying fees to the platforms on top of it. Why should I? They already get enough profit and their practices aren't entirely to be proud of, especially Amazon. I am also selling on e-bay and the policy often comes as cost prohibitive, I don't bother selling certain items at all or I would only earn pennies of profit for individual items I want to get rid of. I do shop locally though, wherever I can get what I need for a reasonable price. For electronics we go for reputable sellers like Currys, expecting the items to be genuine and in working order, with a proper warranty, withouth safety risks like exploding cheap chargers. So it isn't that I only hunt cheap items on the Asian market.
Others complained that if the purchase goes wrong they don't get a satisfactory solution anymore. I am yet to have this experience. I always got a refund for a faulty or missing item on Aliexpress, with supplying a photo evidence. And they are obviously aware about extortionate return charges because they also offer simply a refund without returning the item. I have always got it so far. When that changes I will reconsider my purchasing habits.
What you mentioned that we support Chinese govt... we do it regardless, wherever we buy items as those items were already produced there. Most of our stuff we use for this or that were produced in China. There is no escape from it. The only downfall is this subsidising of delivery service, which needs sorting out if it is such a big issue, I don't know the real scale within the entire business volume. But that is OUR problem to fix, not theirs (Chinese).

3:20 reminds me some rail transport in England, UK. At peak times you often don't fit into the train, you have to wait for another, the platforms are sometimes too short, or not enough wagons coming to accommodate for the whole crew that wants to get to work or school in the morning, regular cancellations, in the summer it is too hot, when it rains, it is water on tracks, in autumn it is leaves and in winter half cm snow can lead to disruption. For how expensive it is in comparison to some other European services it is a disgrace. And behold, British commuters are subsidising cheaper European public transport in their expensive tickets for unreliable services.

I am not gen Z, far from that but I found myself in a rabbid hole of YT and sometimes fakebook. But I do have hobbies, several of them. One is watching videos about my hobbies, LOL. I do papercraft, greeting cards, but also other related crafts, painting... Even made a unique cabinet with drawers, looks like a rattan one, using a special wallpaper to decorate it that way, adding legs to an originally kallax insert. Gardening, embroidery, also listening to youtube while stitching. And learning about computers, operating systems, physical fixes and upgrades, cyber security and online privacy. I don't like smartphones but I tolerate a tablet and prefer a proper computer/laptop keyboard. Transitioning to Linux, fascinated by the trrminal, me, nearly 50 yo woman with no formal computing background. Simple games keep my brain focus, like freecell, solitair, mines, luxor or bricks shooting..

LMAO. " computer is called a machine because it is a device that takes data as input, processes it using software, and outputs the results.1 When computing machines were invented, the term "computer" already existed as the job description of a person whose job it is to compute things.3 Computing machines were called "machines" because they were machines, as opposed to the computers they replaced, which were people.13 The term "machine" is a collective noun for laptops, PCs, servers, clusters, etc.0 The term "smart machine" refers to a computer's ability to perform tasks with a high level of accuracy and speed, while "diligent machine" refers to a computer's ability to perform tasks repeatedly without loosing its speed and accuracy for a long time.'

Good to see all this. As for the Ruscist resupply, hearing how their lead production for ammunition has been halted, them bringing older and older ammo and weapons (yes, those 60yo tanks also), I don't think Ruscists have much left to bring to the front lines. This retrieval could be a silence before another storm, or no other such storm as we have seen so far. People don't want to fight for Putin anymore. The economy in Orcland is struggling tremendously, food quality going down with prices up, everything expensive or not available to buy in sufficient amounts, even mobile banking is not what they were used to, apps not working, hearing they have just some old stock of foreign cars, otherwise they are left with mostly Chinese or S Korean ones, costing the same as they were used for Mercedes or Audi... And spare parts are becoming scarce so cars of people are robbed of their car parts when they park it at the supermarket... Babushki maybe believe the hey Russian media are feeding them, but young people less so. Did you hear Putin is recruiting from prisons, promising them $3k in rubles for 6 months contract, and their families $80k if these recruits die in battle? Of course he is not going to do that. He doesn't pay those already at the front. Bljad! LOL

@HeathenHacks Well, I am not that audience. I have an adblock, all across other websites, not just youtube. I am not even having Netflix or haven't used a single minute of free Amazon premium. They begged me by emails, ignored. They sent me a card by post. To the recycling bin it went. Amazon is trying to hide premium-free posting on their website, with a big coloured button to subscribe right in front of my face. FO! I am fine with Freeview and change channels when the ads hit (except of BBC), so I cover several shows at once LOL.
If those ads on other websites were at least static, I could ignore them. But they keep moving, flashing, videos play where I came to read an article. Paying them so they stop annoying me? No, thanks.

They could also disable your device, making it to be ready for a landfill, and issue a new model with some extra chip, something like TMP 2.0 for Windows 11. Most computers sold in the world are Windows and the majority population never used anything else and won't ever. They are obediently upgrading every few years, topping up the landfill, or sending old hardware to Africa for 'recycling', which means stripping the metal of everything else and burning it, creating a supertoxic inferno, meaning a short lifespan for those poor folks living there.
Juust recently I revived my old ex vista laptop from late 2000s, cleaning it inside, upgrading RAM and hard drive, applying a thermal paste fresh, replacing a broken hinge, installed xfce Mint and oh boy, I have my old buddy back!

Russel, Russel, I thought you got a proper job now, that pays you. How many more supermarkets we need to see in Moscow to understand that sanctions haven't touched the food supply as much (or rather that you are intentionally showing us the well stocked shops, not those queues for eggs or sweets I saw elsewhere, a couple hundreds people nearly crashed each other for a box of sweets given for free). Yes, RuSSia is by-passing sanctions, Kazachstan or Turkey and others are having a spike in trade with RuSSia, but how many people are actually doing a proper shopping for the weekend? Can they afford living and eating like they did before the sanctions? Shortages of chicken meat (after eggs) Putin explaining that people now are better off so they eat more meat which supposedly caused the shortages? The take of unsecured loans has skyrocketed (did you take some, too?), and people take more loans to pay the previous ones. A number of regions have reported failing grid, freezing in their homes (showing 5-10C inside their homes)... You should stick to the job, Russel, making sure you don't lose it. From this moment I officially consider you a propagandist.

I have read an advice not to use CCleaner and similar software, that it can damage the system. I am proud to have learned using the Windows tools to declutter and that should be enough. The less third party stuff in the PC, the better, for most third party stuff. I don't mind installing ublock origin into browsers that are not as robust in protection as Brave is, for example. I debloated most of the stuff that came with the new PC and got rid of any extras that came after reinstalling it. I am learning what helps and what doesn't in Windows maintenance, and CCleaner has not earned my trust. I used to use it before, not anymore. At most I would use it to overwrite data on an external disk, but that's it. And for that there are other software out there, doing a similar job, so it is just a matter of choice. But cleaning registries? Thanks, but no, thanks.

Companies are lying. Just applied for a care giver post, a companionship to elderly, various daytime shifts, hours guaranteed, me having a 2 year relevant experience. Got their reply back, that I live far from the area (stupid 14 miles and I have a sole use of car) and that they have a live-in positions, listing all the good bits of it, with a brief overview of duties. I did exactly that for those years, not wanting any more of it, having a different life now. After a careful consideration and review of my CV I am not suitable for this position (daytime shifts). I strongly suspect it was one of those ads to lure people in and offer them something different. The pay would be great, but my normal life would be severely disrupted. That lifestyle, being on the move with a suitcase, is past me. Been there, done that.

@almasnk7469 not really. During pandemic I was mostly sedentary, to the point that my body wasn't happy, some funny feeling around the hip flexors and relief came after I stood up and moved around. So I got myself a treadmill. And while in many households it very quickly becomes a dust collector, not in my case. Two and half years and I still use it several days a week. Then just listening to my body and what makes me feel good. Stretching always did, and getting my joints moving outside a normal functioning range also feels great. One time I had to travel by car, sitting for hours. I couldn't wait to get out and get some workout to my thighs. About 10 jumps from deep squats made me feeling myself again (I can do Asian squats, too). The guy on the petrol station sitting in his car and watching me looked quite puzzled. I didn't mind. Plus, when the heating goes off and it becomes cold in the evening, I heat up from inside, watching youtube videos and walk. At least 200 kcal per session, that is the weight I didn't gain over the pandemic. And it also helps to keep off the family fate of type 2 diabetes.

I think part of the problem is that masses of people have become mere consumers of online content, they stopped creating real stuff, like with their hands, improving their skills, talents, something to show. At most they create an online content of them talking about something and that only feeds into the pool of online content consumed by other consumers. Too much worthless crap out there and folks get confused about the world, themselves and everything. Social clubs are a good suggestions, but there also is a lot of online interest groups where people can communicate about their interest, share their makes, learn new techniques... They don't need to be constantly exposed to dirt of others, just focus on what they like doing and improve. That is satisfying.
Besides, you can see on this particular man what a form of abuse the religion is on minds of people, making them guilty for things that are no issue, loathing themselves as a result. That for the transgender topic. And once they opened the gate to the forbidden, they easily slip to the hard core stuff and sink deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole...

When I heard of that Stanley cup craze a few weeks ago, and those accessories... first world problems saying came to my mind. Why do I need to avertise my personality to others and pay a premium for that? The same for fast cars... our cars have to be roadworthy but are our roads car worthy? More trouble with a Lamborghini on average road where I live... maybe if those rich ones paid more taxes, our roads would be in a better condition, instead of advertising to others how many of these rich people managed to avoid paying in taxes. And that those on a very high income pay less in proportion to their income than the rest of us not on a minimum wage, is often the case, especially due to a much lower capital gains tax rate. I have several water bottles. Simple, plastic, each costing me no more than £2.50. One is on my beside table for a quick sip if needed, one in my bag to work, a few as a backup when those in use break (and they will). No logo on them, just clear 700ml bottles with easy to clean top. I don't need anything else. When I plan to take a coffe with me, I have a thermo flask also costing me a fiver on sale over a decade ago, still serving me well.

Riight, will we see some place where the heating burst and inhabitants haven't had heating and water for days or weeks? That happens in older places. And there is barely any maintenance staff left, as many have been sent to the meat grinder. Technology and infrastructure is old and failing. At least these in the new places have bought some time before they will face failures.
This rent, when a median salary in RuSSia is just about $500 (ignoring the temporary spike in the military complex industry salaries, contributing to inflation), is quite high, with prices of everything going up on weekly basis. RuSSia used to have subsidised mortgages, but that has ended. Interest rates are nearing 30%, which is a disaster, nobody can really afford a mortgage anymore. A lot of new buildings have been built in the recent years, but people don't have money to buy them and developers are struggling. And renting is as bad as mortgage payments. There was a young woman with a degree and a job, crying on the outside, with a few bags to take with herself to the communal housing, as she couldn't keep paying her rent anymore. That was a few months ago and things got worse since then.
On a personal note, those black fittings in the bathroom are a terrible fashion trend. Keeping them looking nice with limescale building up will be difficult.

Thanks for sharing. I find your voice very listenable. My journey to Linux started last year spring time, after having serious issues with Win10, ending up reinstalling it, that after I had to use cmd and powershell for troublshooting, guided by AI and other online resources, even extending a recovery partition to be able to install some update.
To cut a long story short, I got myself extra laptop with Win11, business class, my learning bitch. It has got a 4x larger nvme, installed LMDE and I have been playing with it ever since. Now having a dual boot with ubuntu, and Win11 in a VM on LMDE. Launching GIMP takes exactly one second, in contrast to eternity on Windows. Soon my Win10 will be LMDE as well, or something else. It also is Win11 compatible but no, Windoze only in the VM or from a usb. Done with the 💩.

@loa367 Thanks, you too.
I know the salaries vary, but I compared comparable. Median income in a country and rent in the metropole, or within its boundaries.
I agree, the whole world is suffering the aftermath of the pandemic and then the greed of the corporations who hold us by the balls. But unlike in RuSSia, most of the world can freely move, travel, say what they want, their men aren't snatched for a cannon fodder, infrastructure is in a far better state... and the sanctions for RuSSia are unprecedented, causing havoc in their living standards. If people see the prices in Moscow but compare it to their own salary in the developed world, they are making a big mistake.

I don't know how defamation laws are formulated in the terror land, but those in our sane world, when it comes to the celebrity at least (the rules are a bit different with celebrities), there are two major conditions that need to be met for the defamation lawsuit to have a success: The seemingly defamatory statement needs to come from somebody wanting to harm the accuser, i.e. cannot prove a greater good like protecting the society from the accuser, and 2. the defendant knew that what they said about the accuser (initiating this defamation lawsuit), was 'substantially untrue'. Someone tried to lecture me about a potential of defamation lawsuit from Russel Brand, for calling him a sexual offender under a youtube video. I said it based on a 4 years meticulous investigation and careful consideration of evidence, containing independent evidence from institutions and verified messages between him and one of his victims. It took me just a few minutes to find out he couldn't get far with such a case. His behaviour and personal statements of other people he dealt with for years and years are out there, on record. He would have to accuse of defamation them first. Jeremy Vine, on the other hand, won a small case when somebody pulled his name out of their rear when the name of the 'BBC presenter' paying a 'teenager' for nude pics wasn't officially announced yet.
And I still think Simonyan was told to say this, to see how the public will react. They are getting very desperate there to sell to public the reasons why their economy is crashing and why they have no freedom of speech, or why western technologies are hard to get nowadays. This is RuSSian propaganda (and perhaps any propaganda): give out conflicting messages and watch what sticks. Also, when people don't know what to believe anymore, they become apathetic. And Kremlin doesn't need anything more from his populace than them not caring about what Kremlin does. Eat your bread and shut up.

Very good content here and I too noticed Sabina's rants a bit too much. But she has some truth, too. Academia seems to be breaking apart. They compete for grants and quantity of papers seem to take over quality. Misrepresenting significance of results, like when regular consumption of processed meat is associated with 10% increase in diabetes. And it makes headlines in many tabloids and other press. If your risk was 30%, this association makes it 33%. Is it really that significant when excess calories and sedentary lifestyle are a driving factor? I see a grain industry fuelling this agenda, similarly when aspartame is demonised by sugar lobby in relation to cancer, using evasive vocabulary, like 'human equivalent' studied in rats. A TV channel which aired this session, with the researcher in Italy, didn't specify what amount that equivalent was, but they made a conclusion. I found that research. It was 5 litres of diet coke for a 70kg person, consumed every day of their adult life. 10% of those rats got cancer without getting aspartame, 20% got with the mentioned dose proportional to their bodies and 30% developed cancer after equivalent of 12 litres of daily consumption throughout their adult lives. Crooky science driven by corrupt attitudes, just to get attention and more funding. The result is more diabetes and obesity because lay people get scared of the compound and reverse back to sugar, like our kitchen lady. No argument will convince her that the diet coke is better for her corpulent ageing body, over the sugary one.

That security on the wheels is funny... Just had a lovely home made stir fry with rice, from basic ingredients. Rice made with a bit of butter, stir fry from 400g tender stem broccoli, couple shaved carrots, a bunch of spring onions, king prawns and prawns, roasted cashew nuts, and a spice mix containing chilli and garlic, ready bought, mixed with water, but everything else was from scratch. I almost got a standing ovation over how delicious it was with lime juice squeezed over. We would have it any time over any of that junk presented in this video. If I went to that town I would probably go hungry the next day, my body struggling with the lack of fresh produce. All ultra processed, carbs, fats, sugar... sugar... sugar...

@hardtackbeans9790 I didn't say gasoline, I said it gas. Gas is gas, not liquid. If you buy gas, you buy gas, not liquid. If it is liquid, it has many other names, more appropriate, you can choose from: gasoline, kerosine, fuel, petrol, diesel... plenty. Saying that gas burns for 5 days is nonsense, unless it had a somewhat controlled or steady supply, not onne bulk storage at once.

@clairewyndham1971 It is a sad state of affairs. People like zombies stuff their faces with stuff that slowly kills them, overwhelming the healthcare, but they will blame the immigrants, who actually mean a nett positive impact for the economy. But that is another topic.
People need education about their food, how to take care of their diet and what to avoid and moderate. I made a great tikka curry over the weekend, the recipe asked only for meat, water, butter and milk. I added onions and courgette, with broccoli on the side, and even made a fantastic pilau rice with cardamom pods. The rice on its own was incredible. A kilo of chicken breast costed me just under £6, rice bought in bulk, so peanuts, veg didn't break the bank either. Two adults had two lunches from that and there will be two more small portions for work lunch. Do I need to say how much we saved for not having a takeaway? And it was delicious. No special cooking skills needed, it basically made itself. But when people are locked in their pit of helplessness, don't know where to start, lacking confidence, and in many cases healthier options nearby, but having no car or poor public transport, I am not surprised they eat how they eat. I have a degree so I am a sort of priviledged. Those folks often barely finished the compulsory education.

It isn't as easy with the junk food as it is with cigarettes or drugs. There is now vaping and that is nother issue. I had a home cooked junk: ramen noodles, yesterday. Measured water, added a big handful of frozen mixed vegetables, boiled for a few minutes, added a knob of butter, spice mix, crushed noodles and when almost ready, transferred it to a deep plate (bowl) and added two raw eggs on top. Into the microwave for 2 minutes and voila! Quick, cheap and nutritious what would otherwise be junk. What is killing us with the junk culture is more about what we don't supply to the bodies, than what we do. Nitrates are more abundant in greens and vegetables, but they also contain compounds that protect our health. That isn't in the processed meat and bun, i.e. burger. We need to take a different approach, since food is a necessity, unlike smoking: instead of telling people what not to eat, tell them what they should eat for better health. That is a better strategy. To make the junk less atractive you have to offer equally or more attractive alternative. Simply telling people what not to eat won't work.

I must say I am well protected from this artificial reality. I literally cannot give a single fuck about brand status (I do care about quality though, practical quality, not to show off with it. I have one pair of Merrel shoes that last me for years for outdoor activities, I don't need 150 pairs of branded trainers like the shallow influencers). Like while you are trying to look classy to earn awe from public, propping up your own ego, you spend YOUR OWN money to become a walking advert to the brand you hope that will make you look special. In reality you are just a fool, used as a tool. In your bowels there is the same shit like in bowels of everyone else and your mouth (the opposite end of the anus connected by the same tube) stinks in the morning like of everyone else. Status is a commodity for idiots who have more money than common sense. If you are poor because of it, you fully deserved it. There are very rich people walking in worn off clothes, without sparkle, down to Earth and their wealth is not pushed down the throats of random people on the streets. And surprise surprise, these truly rich people (inside and out) are more generous towards those less fortunate and still manage to be rich (D Parton, K. Reeves, to name just a couple). If you need to demonstrate with luxury your 'worth', you are worth little.

Novara media covered this very well yesterday. And how Russel had a very disgusting phone call with Jimmy Savile. And how it was heard in the background the producer telling him not to do it, but Russel went on and on...
Yes, Russel is a product of the media culture, left or right. When did BBC get their funding cut? I suspect they had to resort to some otherwise unthinkable practices, to keep the audience or there would be more cuts. If you don't get funding, you need to try hard to keep money coming in, as BBC isn't 100% public funded.
And that there was this culture in the past when things unthinkable today were permitted back then.
Saying all that, not everybody has fallen this low, so Russel has his own blame to take for what he became. He is a sexual predator and he tried to legitimise it by acting like one publicly, like Savile - things happening in our plain sight. Just every reich has it's raise and fall and so does Russel's aura. If he was that wise he wouldn't let this happen, but he isn't wise. Just intelligent. But even the most ingelligent individual cannot over-rule the laws of nature, and that is the wider nation in this case. He can have 6 million followers, but the majority outside this bubble probably doesn't like him.
Times are changing for sexual predators. I am glad to see him go. I never liked that man and now I know why that was. He has a strange, sinister vibe.

@danielkurtovic9099 Are you sure your stats from RuSSia are from 2024 and not from 2012, for example? Surplus in bank accounts? And so the banks were throwing loans on people, unsecured loans, one after another people took to pay off the previous ones, so the banks are in trouble now? Unlike RuSSia, US is open with their stats, even the military spending is public, not so much in RuSSia. They even stopped publishing full stats on alcoholism years ago.
There is a crisis in the US right now, I am not doubting it, largely due to influx of Chinese drugs that wreak havoc with American people. But the US publicise the issues, whereas Kremlin puts embargo on any unpleasant information. When something happens suddenly, all media are quiet for a day or two, waiting for the script from Kremlin and then parrot the news, often word by word, on different channels and media. We never know for real what is happeing in RuSSia.

Right, at least you acknowledge your own role in all this, the indifference in action, although there was some difference in thinking. Thinking (praying) doesn't change things, actions do. You know, between the lines, when saying that Putin is elected - at least on paper - that it is all just circus. He engineered the society and you also said in the past there was this contract: don't be interested in politics and your life will be OK. People went on with it, you did too. Why blaming them now? For years and years the opposition was eliminated, little by little. Frog cooked, you know it. And most Russians didn't have the privilege of living abroad and getting a different perspective on things. You had that privilege and yet you did nothing. So why blaming average Russians from not doing better than you? Even after the invasion, all you did was to spread the word to the western audience, carefully selecting words so the FSB didn't knock on your door.
In RuSSia now there is a factor of self-preservation. Instinct for survival. Not everyone in RuSSia has the capacity to move abroad and start a new life there like you do. Their only option is to survive. And life in prison is bad (let alone the torture, political prisoners are treated extra badly). Things won't change as easily when everybody expects someone else hurting their wellbeing and going to the streets. You didn't, you fled. People got arrested for just peacefully standing there and holding a blank piece of paper. The society has been engineered not to win over the system. Now it is too late. Things will need to get very very VERY bad to turn into better.

Listening further, from a European point of view, the trickle down economics produced more inequality and hard work no longer guarantees you plenty. You are ignoring large and growing part of the population, also in the USA, that struggle to secure the basics, despite working their a$$ off. Many today can only dream about affording their own home with even two salaries, let alone just one, like it was in the past decades. Incredible number of people go without medical treatment or were forced to file for bankruptsy due to medical bills, some had to sell their home. So overall America is doing fine, but the inequality in wealth is astonishing. Don't forget about those less lucky than yourself. They are real, their struggle is real.
Now I am learning like pharma and health professionals are in it together, promoting statins and low cholesterol, based on skewed research statistics, with a dementia as a ticking time bomb as a consequence. Not everyone has the agency to resist the push that is not addressing the real issue (corrupt food industry) but creating future issues by pushing to fix what isn't broken.

I think your analogy that my tribe pushed some other away is a generalisation. My nation was suppressed for a large part of its history and it was a struggle to maintain the identity over centuries when more dominant nations tried to dominate us and even erase our language. Chilren in schools were beaten when not talking the language that was foreign for them. We never invaded anyone. We resisted and persevered, the latest it was the soviet occupation. Also you pretty much swiped under the carpet that Israel has been illegally expanding, destroying Palestinian's homes, olive fields they lived off for generations, fuelling the conflict, pushing them more and more to the brink. It is internationally recognised as illegal, but because the West needs Israel as an ally, we walk around it on the tiptoes and have toothless rhetorics at most. And you, an American taxpayer, are financing this injustice. Without the generous US financial support Israel wouldn't be what it is today. Bold, far right, illegally expanding, knowing it is going to get away with it.

One thing I would like to point out: this war started back in 2014. Where were those good Russians then? Lived their lives like if nothing happened because the sanctions were lukewarm. Only when it affected them more, they suddenly decided to flee.. also not to get conscripted. Until then all was like normal in RuSSia. Those who left back then in disagreement would have some of my respect.
My other point is that risking life to trying to beat a murderous and autocratic regime now, when it removed all possible ways of resistance and build a strong counterforce to curb every single protest in the nib, is difficult. With years lasting propaganda, too large part of the society is complicit in this situation. It isn't easy to persuade your grandma or even mother to the facts when all they know is the official propaganda that feeds into their silly pride (they are as proud Russians as you are a proud Ukrainian). They are proud to be aggressive, because they got convinced this is necessary for them to survive. Try to convince them otherwise! Russian family didn't believe their own Ukrainian member when she informed them how it really was. They were just parroting the state propaganda how Ukrainians are nazis and she shoud stick with Russia. Cognitive dissonance? Maybe. Or maybe just being dumb. A few hundreds or thousands youngsters on the ploshchadj (I learned some Russian years ago) would very soon be pushed back and punished, leading to nothing much. Many know that and they rather flee.
I wouldn't want to be a Russian nowadays. You cannot please either camp, whether by leaving or staying and ending up in prison, tortured or even killed. At least they took their knowledge and expertise elsewhere, benefiting their new home country, some will never go back to Russia. Many analysts agree that this war will end when Putler is defeated militarily. Nothing else will bring this regime down, it has esteblished too powerful position already.

One additional point: everybody is now collecting our data and data brokers are trading with it, without our consent. We are a livestock to be milked via ads making us purchase what we don't need and often don't want soon after the purchase. And this is all legal. Then you have scammy business coming on the scene, like deleteme and others, offering you to have your data removed from these brokers for a subscription fee. So not only you gave your data via subscription you pay for like Netflix and whatnot, you double down on it for deleteme to get your data removed from others, to be safe on internet and to protect your identity. The cherry on thart is that these services CANNOT prevent your data ending in the hands of fraudsters, because many institutions cannot remove your data, like healthcare, insurance, government... and these also get hacked and your data ends on the dark web where deleteme has no reach whatsoever. If you pay for your data removal, you have been scammed already.

Also, I had a hard time listening to some US official interviewed on BBC last night, saying that Ukraine hasn't made a major break through hence the funding should be reconsidered. What an idiot. They have been working hard on preparing the conditions for a break through. It just takes a bit longer. If they remove the funding now, when Ukraine is just about to turn the tides, it will be a major faux pas for these morons parroting the Kremlin's propaganda. Where RuSSia fights like in the WW2, with artillery, Z-storms and other primitive tactics, Ukraine has been targetting the supplies, command, logistics far behind the front lines. They are fighting the war like intelligent beings, instead of some orcs going forward in hordes, regardless of the loss. Little by little Ukrainians are cutting the tentacles of this Meduza and when they hit, we will be with open jaws. Like when they got Kharkiv region back. Keep supporting them!

I remember, when younger, new to the UK and English not so good yet, and I came across the money mule scam, not aware it was a scam. I luckily never became a victim of such a thing, but I was close. Years passed by and I am very wary of such practices. There is no magic money tree. Don't get fooled. Had a cold caller recently, presenting himself as trading on Forex, offering me dome easy earning for a ittle work. I haven't even considered giving it a try. They had my data from some data leak, it obviously was a scam. And despite that I do not pay to deleteme or similar, knowing it is a scam also, unable to clear your data from the web like they promise. Now cancelling every channel promoting these crooks.
Stay vigilant and don't let them get you, whoever they are!

This is a poor defence, imo. He needs to turn the table and point at the Nazi presence in RuSSia. Dmitry Utkin, Pootin's right hand in Wagner group was a hard core Nazi. There are photos of him having Nazi tattoos. There are plenty of Nazis in RuSSia still. And unlike RuSSian fascists, Ukrainians weren't stealing Russian children and commiting ethnic cleansing of poorer regions, sending men to the meat waves without weapons, appropriate clothes, anything. MTG is simply amplifying Kremlin's propaganda. Every nation, every country have their sample of Nazis, America has their own too. She should shut her mouth and beg for forgiveness, from behind the bars, where she belongs.

A brand new car, as soon as it leaves the seller, is worth much less than what was paid for it. Just by getting a new owner. Gosh, 10 and 14% finances... Where am I with my 2.89% mortgage? LMAO. Always paying credit card in full, when splitting payments for something, always at 0% finances or I save until I have enough money to buy it straight away. I pay £6.50 per month for my mobile with maybe 5GB data, plenty for me, some £23 for unlimited broadband, the gas and electricity supplier just lowered my payments because I don't consume as much energy and they were the only ones not ramping up standing charges to the max, like other providers. Spending over 3 grand per month for two stupid cars and still not paying them out is mind boggling. Did she aim to enrage people like this to get more Tiktok views and revenue? Never installed that app, anyway. LOL. Life is better without a constant supply of these id.iots.

Coming to the end of the video, to answer the question: no, never used Temu, only found out about it just recently, after someone mentioned it. Never used Shein either, similar story. I am only guilty for using Aliexpress, several years now, exactly for getting things from there cheaper and I can wait for the items for weeks. And it isn't just random plastics like these 'influencers' do it. I always think twice and often have the items in the basket for days before commiting to a purchase. Most of the stuff is a crafting stuff, reusable, not just one-off purchase at the spur of the moment and doing nothing much with it. If the item was crap, which sometimes it was, I get a refund. And I ought to say that I have never installed Tiktok either. Never needed it, never going to do it. I am handy, frugal, like to give a second life to things, repourpose them. And that sometimes I buy cheap items to enable me doing it, I have made a compromise. And stuff doesn't seem to be as cheap on Aliexpress, neither having such brainwashing, zombie consumers generating practices. You still see the same stuff sold on these platforms (Wish was another one I never subscribed to), well, nothing is perfect.

Regarding secrets and stealing them, maybe as a society we would do better to be more like open source, funded by taxes from those having more, for the benefit of all of us. Globally. Let the competition be driven not by money but by passion for the subject. How much of a good technology is withheld from us so that the competition doesn't have access to? Working in secrecy you are limited to the skills and knowledge of your choice and people you think you can trust, but not trusting anyone else, while someone out there might have a good point or a critical word, to avoid unnecessary mistakes. But that is an utopia. People are still animals with primitive brains, egoism, ethnocentrism, trying to screw each other, to push their own forward.

Not sure that kids want to master walking. They just want to reach something too badly that they learn how to get there when their brain and limb control mature enough. And they want to copy us. In everything. If you kept passing to your child everything it pointed a finger at, they might not even learn to walk before the age of 3. And once they stand on their legs for the first time (after we were encourageing them for some time with physical assistance), it is a great feeling, not that they wanted to master it. It is us who motivate them, praise them, reward them, so they keep improving. Efficiency comes as a natural side effect. When they are older, then they want to master their skills, to be the best they can, again, on our prompts. We want them to be the best and sow competitivenes into them. Too many kids will become couch popatoes with parent's ignorance.

The jogi's enthusiasm is fascinating. I do some exercises, too, and they are physically and mentally rewarding, even without too much emphasis on breathing. People are getting disconnected from their bodies, neglecting them, their minds are far away, and that oftern stresses them. Finding the lost connection brings relief, or even euphoria. It isn't only in breath. It is the whole sensation when you do some stretches (deep breathing also stretches chest and abdominal muscles which alone is relaxing) and positions that your lymphatic system starts working properly, your nerves get input they didn't have for ages, your spine and muscles around get relief in certain positions... You improve your range of movement and get muscles exercising a bit more, which comes with further benefits. That all feeds into the brain which then feels bliss from all the own body's goodness, producing its own chemicals of satisfaction. You don't need prescription or OTC drugs. Just spend time with yourself, with a nice music or in silence. Whichever helps.

I don't know why it is, I keep avoiding these influencers quite successfully. Never had Shltok, Instagram just for 3 days or so, Fakebook gave up on me with ads (or is it because I use Brave in all devices to access the platform?), adblocks on all the time. Got an email from Scamazon today, about Black Friday. Deleted ir straight away, without evewn opening it. This is how it is done.
You, my friend, what would your channel be about if you didn't watch all this crap? Your living depends on it. I still have a job that pays my bills. I can switch off social media at this very second and never log into them anymore... but I gain a lot of knowledge from them, too. Like fixing computers, news in the cyber crime, Linux education, etc. Influencers? Where are they? Not in my world, if I don't watch commenters like you. That is my only window to that fake world.

I did as you did, put a NVMe into an enclosure, cooler master that is, listing compatibility for my ssd but for the world of me it doesn't boot a Windows system, despite that NVMe was previously a hard drive in a laptop. I know how to push it up in BIOS and save, exit, it should boot Windows, but it doesn't. I managed to make a basic 3.0 USB with Win on the go boot, update etc, so it probably isn't about me lacking basics. What could be the problem? EDIT: the laptop in which that SSD resided before does otherwise recognise the device and shows folders in it, just it doesn't boot as Windows externally. The laptop runs on Linux and I know sudo update-grub.

A lot of atrocities have been happening in the past. There is no doubt about that. This video is rather lengthy and packed with numbers and claims, so I comment as I watch. I have nothing against Israel as such. A certain consensus was reached years ago and borders were given. If only Israel didn't keep expanding illegally... It would have had a clear record and everybody would stand with Israel today. But many in their sane minds cannot. You cannot hurt others and then demand understanding when you get the push back.
Listing how many Jews lived in Muslim countries and how many are there now... many have moved from even peaceful regions elsewhere to Israel, even if they were born elsewhere - into the illegal settlements. The problem isn't the Jewishness, it is the Zionism - at all cost. The current Israeli government is recognised as far-right and you alone don't agree with it. There are Israelis that want to kill Palestinians and there are Palestinians that want to kill Israelis. The hate is mutual. The difference is how much each of them can defend themselves from the attack from outside. Palestinians clearly pull for a shorter lead. And probably most of them don't even support Hamas. They are now being beaten from both sides: Israel and Hamas. This isn't fair to those people, many of which already lost everything, some repeatedly, also due to Israeli illegal expansion.
The current Israeli steps look like a genocide on Palestinians. They are in a prison, they cannot escape, Egypt doesn't want them, yet they are told to evacuate in 24 hours or die, Israel starting from the North. How are you supposed to evacuate disabled or elderly when you have little or no enery or fuel left? And evacuate where? Into rubble Israel keeps turning buildings into? Even hospitals, claiming it is a breeding ground for terrorists... RuSSians also kept bombarding civilian objects indiscriminately (and targetting them), claiming they only target military objects. We know where the truth is.
Legal defence doesn't include knowingly killing defenceless civilians.

I am all for privacy, but as long as we keep using internet for anything and everything, we are pulling at a shorter end of this game. Eventually, if the 3 letter agencies don't find much of you, you will be suspicious nonetheless, like if you use Tor, for example. What are you hiding - them asking. At this point, with our data floating all over, not only given to companies when making purchases online, but also from ever growing hacking successes, it will be the responsibility of institutions making sure they are dealing with the real you, not your impersonator. Them trading with your data will turn back to them like a boomerang. Let them eat their own consequences.

LMAO, your Italian is better than of Italian people themselves bwahahaha
To those comments: when you put your life on the market (web), expect trolls jumping on the bandwagon, exposing their own ehtnocentric ignorance that what is normal for them, isn't necessarily normal for others, and vice versa. I love seafood, my mother refused to even try prawns/shrimps, saying they look like worms to her. But she did eat river cray when young, catching it herself. Similar species living in different environment. I even enjoyed snails from somewhere like Macedonia, sold frozen, with garlic herb butter. Delicious! Haven't tried the frog legs, but my family member who studied in Russia back in the USSR times tried them there. Are they normal in Russia? Or was it some imported speciality?

Oh my. I was soooo looking forward watching this and expecting you would put things into the right perspective after I have seen people using the Pfizer report as a conspiracy. How wrong I was!
Once again. Watching about 15 minutes and I am not happy with the lack of honesty in this video. You correctly said: AE ASSOCIATED with vaccines, not caused by vaccines. General folks don't know the difference. You should have explained it at the beginning because I know you know the difference. Why suddenly leaving it out??? And that is all. Even if a number of effects were clinically/medically proven, it means just that: clinically/medically proven vs self reported. Still not confirmed they happened as a direct result of the vaccine or they followed the vaccination and could have been coincidental. They explain it in the report you read from. Why didn't you say it at the beginning but present it as some conspiration to deprive public of relevant data? And this all while the covid was still rampant and many of those side effects were more likely from the infection itself than from the vaccine. And even if we don't know the numbers of overall vaccinated people for this number of AE the document also explains they cannot estimate the level of underreporting of AEs, so even these figures aren't a true reflection of AE post vaccinations. This report is just a parallel to the Yellow card scheme where people report anything they associate with the vaccine they received - with a specific focus to the Pfizer. I have seen enough antivaxxers presenting the numbers from Yellow card as true side effects from the vaccines. You are adding to them with this video.
You know too well that no medical intervention is without a risk and that there is no medication without side effects. The rate of side effects (proved ones, not associated) to the rate of administration is the key. There is a line where we consider something safe, with a low rate of side effects. Dozens thousands volunteers took part in safety trials. If there was some significant threat from the vaccine (a proved causal effect, not these associations) they wouldn't roll it out. Sometimes not disclosing irrelevant data for mainstream folks, who don't know what to do with the data (it is apparent here!) and freak out needlessly, is justified. You try to appear as bringing a balanced view, but from these first 15 minutes and the tone how you doubt the context (explained in the report but you leaving it out) only confuses people who don't know better, seeing you as a god, feeding them this biased view and confirming their unjustified fear from vaccines. How many of your followers will actually go to read the report and know how to interpret what is in front of them? You have some responsibility here, Doctor! And at the end, the long list of conditions... one of them was an Amniotic cavity infection... just another condition recorded after the vaccination but it is unlikely it was caused by the Pfizer vaccine, right? Ammonia abnormal; Ammonia increased... seriously? One in 5 (maybe more now) in the western world has excess fat in their liver, due to a lifestyle. Long list of conditions of special interest but again - not necessarily caused by the vaccine itself. But waaau, you are amazed by an impressively long list of conditions which were not necessarily caused by the vaccine itself. Did you actually look into them and see what they may mean in the real world? Apparently not, that would not give an ever growing list of confused followers.
From the same document (p5):
"Pfizer’s safety database contains cases of AEs reported spontaneously to Pfizer, cases
reported by the health authorities, cases published in the medical literature, cases from
Pfizer-sponsored marketing programs, non-interventional studies, and cases of serious AEs
reported from clinical studies regardless of causality assessment."

RuSSia not only has a drug problem, but it has a persistent and historic alcohol problem. However troubled America is with Fentanyl and other shit, its soldiers don't shoot each other drunken like the RuSSian ones have been doing it in Ukraine. Americans don't get paid with alcohol, like RuSSian have historically been, from centuries ago. It is Americans inventing the technology which the RuSSians cannot, or just copy or steal in most cases. It is RuSSians defrauding others over internet, not Americans. Americans look for their age most of the time, RuSSians usually 15 to 20 years older when they reach 25, due to malnutrition and heavy drinking. Those POW captured by Ukrainians, one looked like 40, but was just 25.

Re GF and presents. Get married, man. Me and my other half keep saying to each other we don't want anything, we buy stuff we want whenever the need comes, all throughout the year. We eventually give each other some present, but we don't exlect anything. And I forbade him from buying me flowers, that is always a mess I need to clear afterwards. No chocolates, I don't enjoy it. No jewellry, I don't wear any except over 25 yo necklace and earrings having a permanent residence in the holes. But I fix my computers and have been buying stuff for them this year. He literally has nothing special to buy to me. And I don't expect anything. The house is full of stuff. Wardrobes full, shoe cabinet full, kitxhen has it all we need and use... and the best holiday is chillin out at home, having the need to go anywhere.

Before watching, my observation: technology definitely shifts people's attention and in many cases to the worse. Sitting indoors on their devices, forgetting the scent of grass, fresh air, hearing birds and insects in the air... more and more dragged into endless scrolling, exposed to fakery on unimaginable scale and obviously many comparing their perfectly fine lives otherwise with the artificial agendas, having self esteem issues. And losing a proper diurnal pattern, leading to a plethora of mental and physiological issues. On the other hand, internet opened door to the world to me, formed my views and helped me to be who I am. That before smartphones came on the scene. I actually travelled to the town to the interet cafe and paid per hour. I am glad I am from the generation when I still had a normal childhood, running outside with friends till the dark, exercising on the grass, splashing water in the river at the end of my street, and at most I had vinyls and later casettes with music and stories. And I read actual books, including encyclopaedias LOL. And learned foreign languages out of interest, not because of the school curriculum. Kids today seem to miss a lot of this.

I had Norton, full license. I wanted to pause it to investigate some issue. I couldn't, the pause option was greyed out. I uninstalled it and the hell broke loose. Not as dramatically, but I spent weeks trying to fix issues I didn't know I had (scanned fully for malware before uninstalling Norton, result nefative), MS security didn't run as expected... also the known bug from January that made me extending the recovery partition. I ended up reinstalling the whole system, and in addition I introduced myself to Linux. After Win10 support ends, Win11 will be a marginal OS for me, for things I cannot do on Linux. It is less demanding on processing power (gentler to your PC's guts), less prone to malware, runs faster... and I happened to like the terminal. It makes me feel like an IT person which I am not.

Wow, what a Florida man there LOL. Even if Ukraine ran out of weapons now, RuSSia has no potential to rule over it. Ukrainians are too dedicated to repel the invaders that they would keep fighting by all means necessary. And the economy of RuSSia is in such a dire state, in a free-fall. No wonder Pootin was asking the west to lift sanctions as a condition to return to the UA grain deal... The bubble is about to burst. Just heard how they have a record low unemployment, about 3%. That at the cost of about 3 million working age men leaving, most of them probably forever, and large numbers killed in Ukraine or returning disabled, unable to work. The debt bubble near bursting, unsecured loans the banks kept throwing at people without credit checks, just to keep going for a while. Fuel cost going up, translating into higher prices of everything and the military spending is a dead end for the economy - all draining the state reserves, ending up in Ukraine, sometimes to their benefit when they capture a usable tank or other equipment, especially after the orcs fled trenches with ammo left intact. And Ukrainians have the best of both worlds: new and efficient weapons from the west, and remnants of the USSR for which the orcs keep supplying their ammo here and there.

The antidote is 'mindful eating'. And that not only focusing on the meal/food at the time of eating, but also the feeling afterwards, how it makes us feel half an hour, an hour, or two after eating. And choosing the better option next time. This way I have learned to avoid most of those traps on the supermarket shelves and turned a blind eye to the countless new products that are thrown on the market, including the overwhelming variety of cereals. I have 2 or three I keep buying, one of them is plain oats, making my own delish porridge at home, adding sunflower seeds, a bit of honey, pinch of salt, raisins and pouring this cooked mix in milk into a bowl with a handful of frozen cherries. The hot porridge will be cooled faster and cherries weren't exposed to excess heat for too long to lose nutrients. Coffee with milk only comes with it and I have a weekend breakfast like no other.
Tuna pasta bake sauce with adding pasta, tuna and cheese on top? Not enough for me. I also add steamed broccoli and cherry tomatoes mid way into baking, making it a nutritious superbomb what would otherwise be just junk. Sometimes I swap the tuna with chicken breasts. I get a praise for it every time at the family table. No pudding needed, the meal was satisfying enough, combining all those flavours and textures we love.
People need to take responsibility for their stomachs and bodies - eventually translating into happier minds, too. A lot of anxiety and feeling low could be fixed with proper eating.

Just to say a lot of free software runs on Windoze, too. But yeah, a new Linuxer here and exactly for the corporate redundancy of millions still good to go machines, I decided to give Linux a go. And paradoxically, I started with it on a 2 or 3 year old Win11 laptop I bought second hand, for maybe third or quarter of the price of a new one. So I have the best of both worlds now, when the need comes. Win11 on a usb, Linux on nvme and another Linux on exVista laptop I myself refurbished and tried several distros, 32 and 64 bit, settling on Wilma. Microsoft has ditched that machine long ago, not sure it would run Win7 evven. But with Wilma it is a perfect machine, still with a dvd mechanics! It even burned its own Wilma installation dvd, as it won't boot from a usb, that old it is! Bios only recognises up to 3GB RAM.

LMAO, data brokers are the least worry to me as most of it is for marketing. Put an adblock on, as FBI suggests, and don't be greedy to jumping on laptops for $29, like an idiot, when you get a flashy email. Good email provider filters most spam anyway.
Fear those incogni or deleteme cannot address, dark web and infostealer, taking over your accounts without the need of MFA. Also health insurers, law enforcement, education institutions, all these CANNOT delete your data, and those databases also get data leaks.
Or fake sponsorship offers, that will steal your entire YT acount if you don't know what you are doing and mitigating th risk LOL.
Save yourself money, keep your eyes peeled and don't rely on these limited services.

Looks like youtube is using this grey area and the lack of clarification in the law for their own benefit. But they could as easily add to their cookie policy this little detail, that they will run a script to check for ad-blockers and if the users don't agree with it, they are free to exit youtube. It is a private platform and it is free to set its rules, within law, of course. There is a very easy way out of it. I am no lawyer, but I have saved myself a few bucks by looking into the fine print and T&Cs and found some holes that I could throw into the face of those who wanted to rip me off, Sky broadband including. Someone with a lot of knowledge, money and time could take Youtube to the court and at the end we shall see on whose side the court would lean. So far chat GPT said this:
"The ePrivacy Directive, which is currently being revised as the ePrivacy Regulation, addresses privacy and confidentiality issues in the electronic communications sector. The new regulation is expected to strengthen privacy rules for electronic communications and may have implications for the use of tracking technologies, including scripts to detect ad-blockers.
It's important to note that legal interpretations may change, and new regulations may have been introduced since my last update. Therefore, it's advisable to check for the latest legal developments and consult legal professionals or official sources for the most up-to-date information on this matter."
Otherwise Chat GPT confirms, the use of script for monitoring adblock isn't clearly defined. So the title of this video might need to change, at least to make it a question.

A couple days ago I mde myself a savoury flapjack, or oat bake, if you like. I used oats, nuts, seeds, grated courgette and carrot, finely chopped red onion, eggs, butter, herbs, and also cheddar cheese. It turned out lovely and tasty, portable, satisfying and healthy. Why would I pay a little fortune for junk that would make me sick long term and then pay to the greedy pharma to cover the consequences of my bad life choices?

I can confirm, Europeans are proud for their local produce and exchange of goods locally. They even preserve their own produce still. It used to be more prevalent, but many still do it, including my family, who keep sending me their own blueberry compot (adding into curd cheese for a snack), honey from Orava region, not the mix of EU and non-EU (i.e. Chinese) stuff, tomato jam (fabulous), or pepper sauce I add into arrabiata sauce made from scratch at home. I grow my own tomatoes, apples, plums, blueberries, now got a fig tree and a couple cherry trees, two strawberry beds and two thornless raspberry bushes. I am limited within the season, they obviously don't bring me fruit all year round, but for the summer full of fresh nutrients and flavour right from the plant into the mouth (raspberries were still fruiting in late October, mind you), it is worth it. Oh yes, forgot two varieties of gooseberries and a blackcurrant, too. I had one plant of sweet chili peppers, two bags of chopped peppers still in the freezer, for my next red Thai curry and arrabiata. I don't think I have ever tasted twinkies, I didn't like Oreo biscuits, I probably didn't have an ice cream last year, haven't been to the macdonald's in years and I don't drink much of sodas, it is sugarfree generic coke from Aldi, if it must be.

Never had ths happen to me, luckily, but I have made, and keep doing it, backups, multiples. My HDD in the PC shows signs of wear and tear, like reallocation count going amber, I already have a sata ssd ready to take over. But that not before I have to switch to Win11. And the nvme slot already has Linux on, switching between OSs as I please. But I might put linux on that sata drive later, as PC seems to prefer launching from that one as a priority, regardless of what I set up in BIOS. My BIOS is simply in bed with Windows, what can I say. It alays asks for Windows on the blue recovery screen, and there is some chip or what it is that is dedicated to Windows verification. Not TMP, something else. It pays off to learn from mistakes of others.

At 4:00, reading that email, reminds me my confrontation on one channel, with Simon somebody, bald guy, showing his face on many differently named channels, some poopular-educational, when I caught them on misleading info, that Jupiter pulls Moon towards itself. I didn't like that info, sounded suspicious to me, a laic nerd on cosmology, and they truly were misleading there. But that response I got when I highlighted this, like what would I expect from the sheer amount of 'work' they produce, over several channels, maybe a few daily, or weekly, I don't remember. Why do I expect doing an in depth research when they have to produce so much material?
I ended up blocking all videos with thumbnails having his face on it. And I had to do that repeatedly because they have many. Some team prepares the content and he just reads it.

2 and half minutes into this and I see omissions in the info.
#1 Palestinians (Arabs rather, because Palestine was home to Arabs in 90% and Jews in 8%) weren't pushed away in 1948, or shall I rather say: this genocide didn't start in 1948. It was going on for like two decades prior. West funded Zionists were killing entire Arab families and villages to make room for Jews/Zionists.
#2 This conflict goes back to late 1800s and started with Christian Zionism in British parliament, and partly antisemitic Zionism. While some Jews dreamed about Israel as their solely Jewish country, other Jews in Europe disagreed and wanted the society to stop being antisemitic, not that they had to move elsewhere to please antisemites. This is a project of the West, which brings me to the #3 omission: the western influence in the Middle East. While we stood firmly behind Ukraine when an aggressor aimed to steal their land, the West was willfully complicit in Zionists and Israel doing the same to Arabs in Palestine, up to the point they want to erase Palestine from the map and try to deny the past. I was diappointed to hear Ben Hodges parroting the propaganda that Israel has the right to defend itself, completely ignoring the past and even present, when Israelis still keep intimidating Palestinians in their homes at night, just a couple weeks ago they uprooted some 2000 olive and other fruit trees, sprayed herbidices on other saplings... this is terror with the support of West while we are being told that Israelis have the right to defend themselves.
I'll keep watching, maybe some of what I wrote here will be mentioned.

Great stuff, it all resonates with me. Right now I am changing a job, more active hours, less pay but hopefully I will enjoy it more than my current one. Never had kids, despite the fanily pressure was there. It is my life. They do them, I do me. No drama, just peace and contentment. But I do challenge myself, currently transitioning from Windows to Linux. I don't have to, I want to. For my future independence from the Microsoft dictatorship on how long I should keep my hardwars before they make me to upgrade it, despite my existing one is still good. Linux doesn't care, it just works on anything Microsoft ditched a decade or two ago, or more. That is also frugal, which I practice. Independence and being myself. Priceless.

In the so called 'good times', if there were any such times in RuSSia, they had 0.5 or 1% growth at most. Now they are trying to tell us that the depletion of state reserves on scrap metal ending in Ukraine, with a massive brain drain, demography collapse, inflation, enormous uptake of unsecured loans, increased taxation, lack of medicines for diabetes or hypertension (let alone cancer), reduced financing of social care, healthcare, education, and anything else but the war effort, is a growing economy?

Everything is getting more expensive but most of us still have a wiggle room. I see no ads. Even on mobile devices I go on social media via Brave, not apps. There is even an extension to block sponsoring, unless talked directly by the presenter, usually promoting themselves. I don't die my hair anymore, I don't do nails or fillers, I buy cheap clothes locally, even charity shops have some great items, cooking from scratch often, my takeaways are ready meals: smaller portions, healthier than greasy home deliveries worth of the entire daily calorie recommendations. I bring my lunch to work instead of going to the town or cafe down in the hall. Just boiled 6 eggs, will have 3x mid morning snacks next 3 days. Also my sugar control improved thanks to this. My only debt is mortgage and student loan. I saw the stupid crumbl cookies sold fo $17.50 EACH and folks already in debt are going crazy for them! WTF?

Thousands of RuSSian men... be honest, Jake, they were thousands of Muslim men. Their nationality forced on them is their least worry. They are Muslims angered by Israeli colonisation and genocide of their fellow Muslims, for decades. And now, while the West just talk the talk about ceasefire, they keep supporting Israel in the apparent genocide. I expect more angered Muslims elsewhere in the world to get triggered. One did in Cambridge, UK, a few days ago, nearly attacking my female friend just cycling on the street, with a chain around his hand. He was brown, had antisemitic rhetoric, but she isn't a Jew. Get ready folks, you will harvest what you sow.

Gosh, I do understand I am being manipulated, or attempted to be manipulated. My phone number is in so many databases in shopping details, when you cannot make a purchase without giving a phone number, that the 2FA is my least worry. Besides, the 2FA is slowly coming out of fashion. There are apps with a pass code or similar being rolled out. I blocked all possible ads, so if they track my behaviour, they can get stuffed, they are wasting their money trading with my data. And you cannot skip having your data stored in various databases, like in healthcare providers, various governmental institutions... those also get hacked from time to time. One has to be cautious and not fall into scammer's trap, or having data backed up in case of some ransomware.
I see your business model. I definitely see it.

We have Wendy's in the town, but I have never been there. Not a fast food person, I cook and prepare my meals most of the time, being frugal. What do you eat for lunch and dinner? I would only have a burger for breakfast in my younger years, when I did eat some junk and after the disco night. I didn'tdo it, but that would be the time I would. Had a lovely wholesome porrige this morming, with some milled flax seeds, honey, raisins, pinch of salt, and poured the cooked goo over frozen berries. They thawed fast and cooled the oats at once so I could eat it faster. It kept me going for the next 5 hours. No sign of a metabolic syndrome by far. But I know tnat even slim people gorging on junk can develop diabetes over the years. The fat it makes you store in and around your liver is hard to get rid of. Beware.

Those ridiculous brands names, you soon develop a sense for Chinese cr1p and avoid it. Plus, Amazon lives of commissions. Proucts are often more expensive there than from the sellers independently. I bought an old fashioned HIFI system from an independent company, about £20 cheaper than from Amazon. Enclosure for a NvME SSD from Scan computers website. Yes, I paid postage, but with that still cheaper than from Amazon. Or the SSD itself, with a higher read/write speed from Scan shop than from Amazon, despite the Amazon's looked cheaper. But it had lower specifics for a similar price. I actuallly got a better deal with Scan even with the postage. And I can be more confident it wasn't a returned item as it often happens on Amazon, people receiving returns as new. And Amazon has a higher probability for fake items. So, paradoxically, I use Amazon more for the reviews, to see what experience people had with particular items, sometimes ask a question, and buy elsewhere. Pay the crooks back what they deserve.

Left out speed of doing things. Windows is bloated with a lot of telemetry and other bloatware nobody asked for. I had to remove xbox, cortana and other stuff, and I noticed you also don't have them installed, or at least showing in the start menu. I never had Adobe photoshop and only used GIMP, on Windows and Linux as well. Just basic things, nothing advanced. I remember how it took a long while to launch it in Windows, but recently I used it in my Linux (started working with Linux just last year and still learning), and to my absolute shock, Gimp was ready to work with in exactly 1 second! O.N.E. S.E.C.O.N.D. It blew my mind. Booting and shutting down Linux is also faster, everything is faster. Even opening a Word document in Windows takes ages if I haven't done it for a while. In Linux it is like a ping, right there.
Another thing with Linux is, based on my so far limited experience: if you switch off something or uninstall, next major update will not put it there for you again. Recently I noticed copilot appeared in my task bar out of nowhere, after an update, despite I hid it before. I don't think I need to worry about this in Linux. In Linux you own your system, the system doesn't own you, like in Windows. And even that licence might be a thing of the past soon, if it isn't yet. They don't need your pitiful little money for the OEM licence. They just want you to use this adware and spyware for dog's sake. Just use it, don't pay us money, pay us with data. And here is another software you might like, install it. Please, user, install the stuff we want you to have! Also Edge, have you heard about Edge? Every few days I had a pop up in the bottom right corner even in the Win10 installation. It also started suddenly, without me asking for it. Constant interruptions with offers.
For me Linux is different but also better, if you don't rely on particular software not existing for Linux. But it isn't a Linux's problem. It is a problem of the developers not willing to expand on this niche market.

Earlier this year I also thought I won't switch to Linux. Never worked with it, myself in later 40s, no IT education... but the shenanigans of Microsoft made me to give it a go and I see my future on Linux. You are right that one of the factors why Microsoft is almost a monopoly is that it is one monolithic system. It is almost the same for everyone.
The other reason I realised is (and many noticed it too) is that the vast majority of computers come with Windows, smaller minority are on Mac. Is there any other option for people? I don't see it, if not counting mobile devices and Androids, or Chrome book at most. Microsoft is almost a monopoly on the market and people never knew anything else so they go with what is available to them on the market.
And for doing my work I had to reach to Ubuntu 20, as it is the latest Linux distro that has a client for Oracle remote access. Or some earlier Linux distro. Not the later ones either. And Ubuntu is half way from Linux to Microsoft, when it comes to proprietary software. There are other Windows users that depend on Microsoft, like for Teams, or complicate the system via emulation or Wine and Bottles, and that probably comes with other security risks.
And although I will most likely go Linux as my main system next year after Win10 loses support, I will also run Win11 from a usb for those cases I need Windows. I hope the Linux community will make even greater effort to make Windows users to switch with a greater confidence in the future.

@nickmerix2900 I remember watching something about it and it was explained that it matters whether the bomb explodes in the air or hits the ground, or something of this sort. Besides, some radioactive isotopes have quite short half life, like tritium, some 11 years. Hence the radiation of Fukushima plant halved by the time they released already treated waste into the oceans, which made Chinese (outraged by CCP propaganda) hysterical about this, that they boycotted everything from Japan, including seafood, completely missing the fact that China itself releases much more toxic waste, including nuclear one, into their own waters.
Radiation certainly is a problem, but within a specific context and depending on what elements and how much of them was used. Even with Chernobyl 40 years later, you can see the life claimed the land back in the nearby deserted town, despite staying there is still risky for humans or agitating the soil with radioactive isotopes. Those ignorant RuSSians, that dug themselves into the ground near Chernobyl after the recent invasion of Ukraine, could talk... if they could, some of them LMAO.

Man, I hope you won't live to regret your move to this country of weird things happening. You may find out RuSSia isn't a country you thought it was. If cost of living and your faith were the two primary reasons... one thing is said in RuSSia and another thing is done. Siloviki have a legal right to be violent towards people, with no accountability to anyone but Putin. The economy at this point is in a free fall, banks suffering, infrastructure suffering, healthcare diminishing with common drugs becoming hard to get, planes crashing or emergency landing at 300x the rate they were before the war (4-5 per year before, now daily)... just a few points from the top of my head. And you won't get truth from the media. No independent media in RuSSia, all the same regurgitated messages from Kremlin, often word by word on different channels, proved. Hope you have enough funds for bribes. Welcome to the Wild East.

Never believed these pushes, ever. If someone pushes it down my throat from all sides, I just don't want it. I was even late with adopting current fashion trends, since young. I used to have some e-coupon discount extension but I ended up never actually using it. I prefer to explore the web and look by myself. Did that with a self heating lunch box from a Swiss company. They also sell on scamazon, but I got a much better deal on their own website, and a free charging power plug. That's Bezos skipped and all money went directly to the company. I am no longer using that extension, learned some time ago they are just another data miners for sale.
There is another misleading service called deleteme, claiming to delete you from internet. That is just not true. Dark web is also internet and they have no reach to it. Neither they can delete your data from countless databases of businesses or governmental and other institutions, which also get hacked. Someone should look into this problem too, because I am sick and tired having it promoted by everyone around. Such a disappointment over many youtubers I used to like, just to see them promoting a scam.

I don't remember when I watched a Hollywood movie last time, never been to Disneyland, I prefer documentaries and similar educational content, BBC has plenty. As a kid I remember playing a game, a wolf catching eggs on 4 slots at an increasing speed, an electronic game, it had written Elektronika in azbuka and the wolf was a character from very funny Soviet cartoon series Nu Pogodi (wolf chasing a bunny and setting up traps). My neighbours had a similar game, a diver trying to reach a treasure avoiding the tentacles of a massive octopus. That was 80s and 90s. But I also bought sharpie highlighters back around 2000, made in USA and they still work! A bit chunky ones, plenty of ink in them, not used heavily. Last year I bought cheap highlighters in Wilko, made who knows where (probably China) and one was dry already. Things were made to last in the past, but also a country of origin could mean a better quality. Although I don't expect modern Sharpies last as long. I mentioned the RuSSian device in reference to a previous video of this kind. There were better times in that part of the world.

I am the opposite, playing games on mobile device, offline, never spending a penny on it and avoiding ads as much as possible. If I cannot play it offline, I won't play it. Candy crush saga was an exception, but gave up on that one when noticing the tricks, I won a level but it behaved like I didn't. And it was a difficult one, above level 3000, or 4000 even, after some 6 years of playing, using a few bonuses I earned by persistent playing, no money spent. Byeee, game. It should be fun, not a tragedy. But my neighbour fell into this gambling trap, spent a lot of money. She died but her partner is still paying back what she lost. Awful situation.

like what? Annexing territories still under Ukrainian control, losing 50% of what it originally took over in Feb 2022, repeated mobilisations despite announcing no mobilisation at the beginning, the second best army in the world became the second best army in RuSSia, brain drain of up to 3 million skilled and educated people, with hundreds thousands lacking taxi drivers, IT men, doctors, police officers, failing demographics so they have to punish women for not wanting to have children... lacking insulin, blood pressure drugs, buying eggs in single items and if you have more than 3 in your fridge you are classified as middle class... riiiight! Ah, and Finland and Sweden joining the NATO... quadrupling the NATO border with RuSSia.... yeah... which objective wasn't met? @ctherats6023

To be more precise: the Earth is not the hottest it has ever been. We are. We haven't lived in those extreme conditions and by watching what is happening due to climate change now, we probably wouldn't survive it again on this population level. There would probably be a major reset to the civilisation. We have done too much damage to the balance in the ecosystem, including massive rainforest destruction, building mega cities covered with concrete and creating pockets of hot air that has impact on jet stream in the North. Permafrost is thawing and releasing carbon not only from a dozen thousands years old deposits, but also from the ancient deposits from millions years ago. This methane is unstoppable and there is a lot of it, far more than is in the atmosphere currently.
And I see it pretty bleak regarding a unified governments effort globally, as each watches their own interests. Take just the gas and oil RuSSia cannot sell and let it burn instead. Closing the well would mean they won't be able to open it again and drill another one is expensive. So they shut it only when absolutely necessary. China increased coal use, Germans did too, freaking out over nuclear energy and now they want to fix the Nord stream 2, expecting more RuSSian gas pouring in in the future... Too often an electric car is charged via a gasoline generator and mining lithium also has its carbon footprint. And what about those millions battery powered scooters and cars produced in China, paid by the govt in subsidies and then parked in the fields, let to rot? Sometimes they catch fire and try to put off the lithium battery, especially if it ignites several other vehicles nearby...
Hold your hats, folks, we are in for a rollercoaster ride.

Re 100% state ownership: at least you can exercise your opinion at elections. Britain has privatised railways and they aren't far from your state owned. Expensive, dysfunctional, with frequent cancellations and delays, and they even wanted to keep train stations or trains unmanned, all with technology to press a button if you wanted to ask something. Disabled, people with special needs etc weren't consulted. And then we have water companies, plentiful but with regional monopolies. Margaret gave state owned water management (supply and sewage) to private comppanies 4 decades ago, clean asset, debt free. Over time they accumulate £billions of debt, while syphoning £billions overseas into pension funds and whatnot, neglected upgrades to the pipes and now release raw sewage into the rivers and beaches, even on sunny days. They got it compulory by law to fix the situation by 2035. What they do? Raise our bills by 50% and ask the treasury to foot the bill, too. So be careful what you wish for.

I don't quite understand the complicated politics of this, but if Youtube pushed just ONE advert before the show, and charged for that one advert more, instead of showering users with countless ads every fucking 6 minutes of the video, jumping into the middle of a sentence, asking the advertisers for peanuts for this quantity, it wouldn't have an adblock problem. On one android I had an ad at the beginning of most videos. I skipped it, but they did show. Since I got Brave, I have NONE. Watching this on Mozilla on my PC, I have NONE. What a fresh breeze that is!
And there are loads of fake educational videos compiled by AI, literally hoaxes and disinformation, each cashing in from gullible plebs watching that nonsense... Youtube isn't doing anywhere near enough to remove this sometimes harmful content. All it cares is money. Any content does the job for them. But they are quick to demonetise true face of the war...

Youtube is full of 💩 hoping to get easy money. Instead of finding a job, many just sit in front of the camera and mic, expecting to get rich. It all costs google billions on servers and power/cooling and we are expected to pay for it? And the sheer and growing content made by AI is ridiculous. Someone initiating it is getting a good buck without moving a finger while the AI content is just a worthless string of randomly allocated sentences and visuals on some popular topic. One after another, pointles regurgitated content over many channels. When you pay your subscription to youtube, you pay for hosting all this nonsense. I have an idea: if creators want to make business here, let's make them invest, like in any other business. If people appreciate them and want them continue, they will chip in. I bought a coffee before, never paid via youtube. I'll rather go back to my plenty dvds and freeview, switching channels on every advert, covering several shows in an hour 😂

Man, I am seeing your content maybe for the second time in my life but I so so agree with you, even with your F words and everything that comes with it. I have never paid for premium service, never had Netflix, never had Amazon prime or Youtube whatever and I am blocking ads like crazy. If it was one or two at the beginning, ok, I can go with that, but that shit jumps into the videos, into the middle of a sentence and crap. NOOO WAY! Nobody pays me for watching that shit and I am not purchasing any of those items. And if I cannot play a game offline without adverts, I won't play the game at all. I'll find something else. We are a product here and even those ads that pretend themselves benefiting the producers, are there only to make youtube better off. Let's be honest what world we are living in. And I am glad I have never purchased this premium so I have learned a new thing or two today. I have even switched to Firefox instead of Chrome, hearing the plans of ditching the adblock apps on Chrome.

I don't know where I stand on this issue, just about to change a job. From quite a repetitive one, the same routine every effing day, for not that bad money, I am going to get paid less, do more hours per day, but less days per week, and I find it more satisfying as it is physically more demanding, which I don't mind at all. I am an intellectual but also a DIY, with hands on. Leaving my repetitive but not so unimportant job of 10 years for something completely new, equally important, if not more. On days when I don't work, I rather hibernate until about lunch time, have breakfast in bed, gorging on online content to balance the mental boredom at work, procrastinating a lot lately... hope things will change with a different challenge that is ahead of me. Looking fwd to it. Different projects at different places to complete over time, leading people doing stuff, utilising my practical skills along perhaps learning new ones, and hopefully contributing to their better future as well.

Obese people need to understand that just because they don't have diabetes now, or hypertension now, that they are already putting strain on their bodies already, whether heart, lungs, joints, or even pancreas and liver. There are many who are obese not from food addiction, they have various health issues and steroids made them balloon to the size they are, but eating cakes and junk won't help anyone. Healthy food is actually tasty and satisfying, one just needs to reprogram their taste buds and educate themselves a bit. There is more they can eat than they shouldn't, when it comes to the variety.

Never used any of these apps. I just cook my meals or buy ready meals. Haven't had a takeaway in years. Yesterday I made myself a cheap ramen noodle 'soup': cooked some frozen mixed veggies in 300 ml water and a knob of butter, added noodles, vegetable seasoning they came with, added a bit of my own curry spice mix for extra kick. When ready, poured it into a bowl, broke two eggs on top, seasoned with black pepper, paprika and salt, into a microwave for 2 minutes and voila: cheap, filling, wholesome and nutritious meal. What more do I need?
Don't be lazy, cook and save yourself a fortune.

I don't agree with that alien theory, we would need to see the primitive life more abundant first and if there is another such civilisation in our galaxy, the vast distances don't really allow us to let them know about us, since the radio signal decays into the background noise after relatively short distance from Earth.
To the AI, I find it increasingly annoying that many fakebook profiles present themselves as art with a name, just to flood the space with AI generated images.
I am currently in a conversation with the ChatGPT, fixing a PC, getting some useful advice, but I was paranoid enough to not copy-paste some crucial info about my licence, asking whether what I have is sufficient for reinstallation, not knowing where it might end as such. LOL.

Happily escaping all subscriptions so far. TV is freeview, internet with adblocks, if articles are hidden behind a paywall, someone else covered that topic, too, or we have an AI that gives me some overview, minus the newest affairs. Radio is still free to listen to by air, even BBC with minimum ads, or I have many dozens GB of music in mp3 and newly encoded some of my old vinyls, too. One has only as much money to cover the bills, which also keep going up so less subscriptions become affordable for an average Joe. We are in a rip-off era, being fleeced like milking cows. Or we can turn the internet off and put a cd on, grab a book, or just watch birds at the bird feeder... We don't need to consume all this 💩, spiked with ads and sponsorships for even more 💩. Find a hoby, make something pretty. And don't forget to touch and smell the grass. There is a real life out there.

@DamonCassidy Also, people spend too much time indoors nowadays, glued to their screens, passively consuming, overdoing it with dopamine, without anything to show for the time spent there (except maybe the hoard of stuff they mindlessly bought for cheap on Temu). Today I stretched a new netting on my blueberry fruit cage because the old was weakened and tearing. That is another garden job done for this season, then noticed kohl rabis started sprouting in a propagator. Yay! Just 7C outside, mostly sunny, some clouds, fresh air, sun hitting my retina... finished just in time for lunch cooked for me today.
I am still spending a lot of time on the internet, but it isn't a purposeless time wasted (just a bit, I am a human LOL). Now cleared junk in the PC thanks to a good youtube channel. Hope it will be less problematic now (the PC). I wish people ditched tiktok and took it from hands of children, because their diminishing attention span will punish us years later.

Just thinking, extrapolating from simple chemistry, where molecules steal electrons from each other changing the other molecules and making them hungry for electrons themselves, oxidation changes cis to trans in fatty acids, perhaps these prions use simple physics of charged atoms in their molecules to twist other vulnerable molecules. Simple laws of physics on the molecular level. Similar scenario like with the abiogenesis: zillions chemical reactions led to nothing, but by chance some started to form to primitive RNA, zillion more reactions leading to nothing, until one caused further development into more complex molecules, starting life on Earth. And so prions come to contact with molecules not so vulnerable, nothing happens in most cases, until they touch the one that turns into prion itself... and shit hit the fan.

RuSSia, like China, have deeply rooted sense for exploitation and cheating. The old soviet credo was: if you don't steal, you are depriving your family. Chinese are basically the same. They hardly invent anything of their own, they copy all they can and have a credo: if you can cheat, cheat. Ask serpentza, a youtuber. Adulteration of goods is rampant, cheating, even maintaining or fixing lifts is faked with catastrophic consequences for users. Someone is seen collapsing on the street, nobody comes to their help because they are afraid the collapse is staged and the helper will get sued for caused injuries, literlly to earn extra money. This is evryday China for you. Being xenophobic is socially engineered by CCP, to blame the outside world for all the failure of CCP's own making, like in RuSSia, like in North Korea.

I am offended, that the main reason why Israel is in constant conflict with others is being left out: zionist agenda, illegal land grabbing, oppression of their fellow Semites aka Palestinians, for over 75 years. Why is Israel allowed what RuSSia isn't? Over 100 years ago there was a Christian zionist believing that when Jews will get their country, Jesus will come back to Earth. He was a leading British politician. Back then, Palestine was a land without major conflicts. Jews in 8% minority and Muslims in 90% bedsit each other's children, according to Rabbi Weiss. Zionism is anti Jewish and in conflict with their own scriptures: YHWH would give land to Jews if they were just, generous, fair. The zionist movement was anything but. Because they disobeyed, they were scattered all around the Earth. Now they use manipulations, propaganda and violence to achieve their antiJewish nationalistic objectives, at the expense of the American taxpayer mostly, who doesn't even have a universal healthcare, but finances one to Israelis. Nobody wants to discuss this. And comments like these keep going missing...

Never heard about Yotta and never donated money via Youtube or paid premium. Youtube, despite hosing some good stuff I have learned from, is also profiteering from the ever growing AI content that is basically a junk. And hosting that growing junk content, and cooling servers, dilutes your premium money going more and more to those who don't deserve a cent of it, depriving the true creators of original content.
If I value someone's content, I pay them directly by other means.
Besides, there are lotteries and there are lotteries. Lotto, for example, your money, if you usually don't win, will also go to charitable and other beneficial purposes, from which you might benefit in other ways, not just spending money and they disappear in void of someone's greedy accounts. And those falling for financial scams of this sort, like various crypto popping up into existence, getting funny names and suddenly disappearing like quantum particles, apparently have more money than brains.

Had Norton in my PC, gone. Something was messed up and I couldn't even pause it to investigate. Had to do a complete reinstall of the system. Never paid for VPN, tried the Norton one while I had it, I quickly turned it off. Instead of investing into the software on the go, pay extra for your mobile data and use that when on travels. And try to be present in the moment, or read a book, you don't need to be constantly hooked online to pay a fortune for the data. Avoid using others' wifi. Period.
Totally agree with not defragging your SSD, it can harm your SSD. I did it, ignorant to the knowledge I have now, the crystaldiskinfo is now giving me amber warning about my hard drive. The figures 100 100 36 indicate it could be false positive, but it is concerning nonetheless. And OSs can now deal with plenty of leftover registries. Leave them there.
Nothingmis free nowadays. If younthink you are saving money by using some dodgy stuff, you'll gonna pay more later. Not worth it. Less is more oftentimes.

They didn't probe Kyiv, they hoped Kyiv will shit itself when seeing the numerous amateur convoy without much of leadership and follow the example of Belarus or other countries that gave in under pressure. And as such they failed. You don't make a successful intervention by losing over a handful high ranking commanders in the so called first phase and countless tanks and troops. The Putin called the Jewish president Zelensky a nazi and aimed to denazify the Ukraine (by deploying its own nazis, perhaps). They failed. Russia lied, it keeps lying and it will be lying, changing the narrative on the go to keep its face in front of its confused public. Putin didn't expect Ukraine to defend itself so well and the West coming together like this, or even the sanctions, which we still are not finished with. Now Finland aims to join NATO - a total opposite of what Putin wanted. The stakes are pretty balanced: Russia having more materials to throw at Ukrainians, Ukraine having more modern defence system supplied by the West which also cannot afford to let this war criminal win a single inch of the Ukrainian territory. One wrong move by Putin out of desperation that the conflict lasts to long (and he hoped to celebrate the anniversary along his anticipated victory soon), and Russia is finished. We will pay the price, too but Russia will pay a higher one. It is already having young and skilled people fleeing the regime, some helping Ukrainians in the neighbouring countries.

@Antigermaan Better environment in RuSSia? You mean the thawing permafrost, Yakutsk sinking into the ground, methane exploding in the wild and endless fires from other ancient carbon deposits? RuSSia is huge but has an economy of Spain and is mostly wild, because it is so vast and that vastness is now changing to be inhospitable, with zillions mosquitos.
RuSSian demographics was already declining before the war, don't lie to yourself. The corruption and neglect by the govt saw overcrowded prisons with spreading tuberculosis and HIV, among other diseases, shorter lifespan, widespread alcoholism... that doesn't sound like a healthy population that thrives. And now Pootin conducted ethnic cleansing within the federation, sending to the meat grinder those less RuSSian ethnics, literally emptying villages and small towns of the manpower. Moscow and other large cities were largely untouched in this sense, giving the westerners and other fools a false impression everything is fine in the terrorland.

Phew. Nearing 50, F, never had tiktok, not stuck with insta for long, hiding reels and not even seeing shorts, but gorging on youtube, many different topics, longer and shorter videos. I do rot (physically) a few hours a day and I do experience the lack of physical motivation, but I think critically about what I see or hear and call out BS as I go. Then I pop on the treadmill at night, or pull and push weights. I am a night animal.
In fact, I must have gained a few new brain cells over 2024, learning a lot about computers and transitioning to Linux. One cannot have a mash in a skull if they want to do this. Even showed off in front of my little older colleague with PhD, doing %temp% clear out on her pc, remembering this for a few months. Or suggesting to save a link to a word document, then on a usb, and set up a bookmark in a different account on a different computer where she struggled to do it on her own. She said waau, I wouldn't think about that! And she wasn't sarcastic. For me it was a normal workaround. I don't get it how she didn't get it. And I have no formal IT education, just what I pick on the go.
Listening futher, as I am wotking on a massive cross stitch project, 450x615 tiny crosses (20 per inch count) with 90 colours, then making greeting cards, each one is unique, massive brainstorming every time, completed a mixed media trilogy boxed canvas before the end of last year, gardening... I think I am safe, for now, LOL.

I don't know the situation in the US, I live in the UK, but when 💩hit the fan and the Lettuce ruined the economy overnight, many renters wished they were paying their own mortgage. Renting became too expensive for many, them paying mortgages of other people, i.e. Landlords, who ramped up the rents more than the inflation. Some saw increase in rent by 20% in a very short time. Pay or leave. I think people should stop whining about how owning a home is expensive, if they can at least afford it, because if they were to pay someone else's mortgage, and having nothing to show for after 20 years, they would be very sorry about their future situation. At least we pay into our own asset, renters pay into asset of somebody else. If you need an economic mobility, renting makes sense. If you plan to settle in one place, buy a property. Unless the market is artificially inflated and prices will go down. And then up again... get the timing right, otherwise owning is always economically more viable long term than renting.

I was once one leg in a pyramid scheme, I lost a bit of money in their benefit (not the whole volume they wanted from me) and I have learned a lesson. I remember that herd mentality on one of those meetings, how it made me clap and 'celebrate' I was with them, but inside me there were doubts breweing already... Of course later on I found out who they were and that they got more people from my area. I tried to get my neighbour into it, before I knew fully what it was about, but luckily they didn't jump on the bandwagon.
More recently, several years back, I was out of the university, so well versed in the subject, when I got approached (or me answering an advert) by an MLM company. I sort of subscribed to it, their method was a bit different, not as investment heavy, so a safer bet for me. I appreciated their product and I still believe it is a good product. It doesn't have those blackmailing and enforcement tactics, but it is an MLM nonetheless. I no longer promote their products, I have a few kilos of fliers I made on my own expense and never got anything out of it and that will go to the recycling very soon. I am out of it, never fell into exaggerating the effect of the product to naive people, never had a stall or party presenting the product. I mostly took advantage of having the product at discount and sold a few, not really covering my expenses with this 'business'. I think the product is good, just overpriced and not allowed to be sold on e-bay or similar, to get audience. You need to do the usual leg work to sell it. And being vague on social media to lure customers and other distributors in. Not my style. I am out.

I don't know. I was looking fwd to watching this, even cought up with the one from yesterday first as I was behind, before jumping on this one, but I am confused. You distinguish bombing and invasion, but kept counting from the 24th anyway, while saying invasion started on the 22nd. And I don't know how others, but I found this video quite annoying with that junk of pointless counting, feeling like I was programmed by some subliminal message. What was the point? Did you use an algorithm to pull out those short counts or did you do it by hand? If you aimed to show us that you didn't have 365 shirts, a different one for each episode, then mission accomplished. Otherwise I don't see the point. It was perfectly fine to pick just those entries where you had something else to add, instead of just empty counting and me feeling like a sausage. I stopped half way through this video and I am not going to finish this one. Hope your next episodes will be as good as the other ones, because this one was a waste of time so far.

There are terrabytes of content created every day worldwide and that needs to be stored on servers, which have limited capabilities and need to be developed and growing as we speak. That costs money to run and purchase, too. I understand that bit. But by aggressive advertising they only put people off watching content without adblock. Every 5 minutes content is interrupted by lengthy adverts, even in a middle of a sentence, which I find totally unpalatable and annoying. I can tolerate a 5 seconds ad at the beginning at most, otherwise I skip it however I can. The advert payout to the content creators is pitiful, nonetheless, so someone else is cashing in from all this. The ever growing content creation should be self-sustaining with more short adverts at the beginning, to cover the expenses of ever growing storage capacity. Paid subscription doesn't suit everyone who don't spend a lot of time on Youtube, so this option should not be enforced by endless adverts every few minutes. If Youtube disables people watching the content without adverts, it will mean no help to the creators, because even people with adblock comment on stuff, share the links elsewhere, and help creators this way. Disabling viewing content without adblock will penalise the creators the most.

Jake, the equivalent to Pogrom is Nakba. And it didn't only happen in 1948, it was happening for at least two decades beforehand, an equivalent of Pogrom. Try to be objective. And I am not even a Muslim, just having principles and a strong sense for justice. Listening further, you say they need their own state... that is false. Since the WW2, NATO and EU, there was no such threat for majority Jews to suffer like they did in the old wild times. There are countless Jewish communities in the wide world where they live in peace with everyone (unless Israel makes such a bold genocidal decision as it did just recently). There must be a term for this kind of over-reaction when the threat has passed. Israel today is a state commiting crimes on humanity and it has been breaking international laws for decades, massively financed by the US taxpayer's money, having a universal healthcare while Americans go bankrupt from medical bills or die from insulin shortages they cannot afford. Seriously, be objective. If Israel stuck to its at least 1967 borders, maybe there would be peace in the Middle East today in this regard. But Netanyahu wants all the ex-Palestine for himself and this Hamas' attack came as a welcomed trigger to finish it off. And we are letting him. Nobody, NOBODY, has the right to grab someone else's land, killing the indigenous inhabitants or concentrate them in a narrow strip of land, controlling everything and expect them to just accept their fate.

Similar example on a smaller scale: I have been playing Candy Crush Saga for at least 6 years on my tablet. I never registered an account with them, never made in-app purchase, but I did let it play adverts (to the ceiling) when I wanted the extras to carry on. The game had some glitches, sometimes my ageing tablet rebooted the apps so I lost progress of that one level, and even if I won a level and THEN the tablet rebooted apps, I still lost that victory, the game didn't register that progress... Recently I noticed I had to wait more minutes for another life, the game asked for more coins to get extra moves... it seemed to put more extra hard levels one after another... nothing made me quit (or pay) until... I had loaded several timed bonuses, I watched two stupid Temu ads to get extra 2+3 moves, made one move and suddenly I lost the game, with another life available in 20 minutes. The second move would win the game to me. You know what I did. No more CCS in my tablet. I went cold turkey on it, playing something else instead, no more ads, no crap. Just a game. CCS didn't crack me to pay it a single cent/penny over those 6+ years but they had revenue from me via ads. No more.

Dear Dr Campbell, I watched your previous video of you criticising the BBC article when it was freshly out. Some points were good, others less so in my view. I am not sure (don't remember) whether you did it but if not I would firstly contact the authors of that 'debunked' reporting and ask them where those 27 or so studies were instead of going on the air and saying I cannot find them. I didn't react then, but I am doing it now because to me it looks that it is becoming a worthless and ridiculous battle for nothing.
You treated the newspaper article as a medical journal with proper referencing, and, obviously, it didn't stand to that high standard. I read that article weeks/months ahead and I read it again then, and there was much more into it, in a context. And it wasn't the student who wrote that article on BBC, the student just spotted something and looked into it further from which this all evolved. Just because the person was a student (I heard a hint of dismissal in your voice then when you said it) that does not make him incapable of finding errors or challenging things. History showed us that some students are way smarter and capable of great discoveries. And finally: different people will take different things from any presentation and that has been happening with those 17k deaths, used as a red herring among covid deniers. For me it wasn't such a huge or great or big or significant story to publish, just meat stripped off a bone (waving with the bone around) and even you agree that looking at excess deaths is the best way to check the covid effect on the society. Now even BBC, with Omicron replacing Delta, added to their daily reporting of deaths within 28 days of positive testing, that some people may have died of different causes. They weren't saying it before. The modelling of deaths statistics designed for earlier and deadlier strains is no longer fit, but currently we don't have an updated method (not sure whether it will come at all). I find BBC pretty transparent overall and a great service for educating public (who want to be educated). Unless BBC, or anyone out there, reports a total nonsense I find this as nit-picking that might backfire many ways and a brief search shows it already did. Less is more sometimes, I mean, you don't need to come with something, anything, every day. Saying all that, I find you as a valuable source of information and opportunities for others to share their stories the official medicine does not seem to want to hear. Keep doing a good job and don't fall into a rabbit hole of pointless arguments over peanuts and cheap sensationalism. Once the covid as we know it will be over. Maybe slowing down is the right thing. Or switch to another topic. People will be listening.

"Addicted? I don't think so, not at least to Nestle products".... LMAO! Nestle being probably the largest giant on the food industry scene, but no, their product aren't addictive...
Saying all that, there are people with dysfunctional dopaminergic reward system in their brain, partly genetic, and they can become addicted to literally anything, even flour. Carbs especially make their brain ticking (like that sugar to the rat ignoring cocaine). It is a complex issue and people affected need to get treatment, counselling, maybe hypnotherapy and coping strategies. There are people with switched off satiety response and they also struggle all their life, constantly feeling hungry. Industry is as responsible as it can get, but people need education to resist this vicious cycle. They need to learn eating better and enjoy healthier food, and then they will find this junk disgusting at worst, or unsatisfying at least.

In the day of internet, computers and internet give to many an illusion they know things, that they did their 'research', via youtube... usually in an echo chamber of misinformation.
Me having a particular degree in a scientifuc subject, sooner or later I find probably every youtuber focusing on the relevant subject spreading some fallacy. Some do it more than others. Very disappointing. And even official research seems to publish articles that exaggerate the importance of findings, like 10% increase in risk of diabetes from frequent consumprion of processed meat. Man, there are far more significant risk factors for this disease and it most likely hasn't accounted for the consumption of fruits and veggies that counteract the potentially harmful effect even for the cancer risk. But the messages and headlines must be simplistic to make an average person agitated and click on it, to boost the ads revenue. And academia is also fighting for funding, so any fart is published with great fanfares, regardless of its importance.
As for me, getting on internet some 23 years ago, my worldviews and inclinations got challenged on discussion forums and my critical thinking as well as the volume of knowledge grew exponentially over time. But I was always a collector of fun facts. I remember writing down interesting info from books I got from my village library as a teenager, like fugu poisoning from Dr No.

Came to this again, seeing I have been here 4 months ago... just YESTERDAY youtube disabled me viewing stuff with adblock. On Firefox. I moved to Brave. If they disable it there, somebody will come with more sophisticated adblock, or I move to some other platform. Completely agree that the ads are too intrusive and even dangerous on many websites. I would be willing to pay £1 per month for the service and if they reduced the fees, more people would chip in, making it better for everyone. If a content creator si good, they get paid other ways, directly by the appreciating viewers. I am not willing to pay for something that I got suggested and it is crap overall when I start watching it. Too much crap on Youtube, AI generated content, lies, deception, crap crap crap. Senseless content gets more attention than quality content. Clickbaits, mass generated content with factual errors. Annoying. I can also go back to books. Sorted.

My equaliser is fast reactions and a bunch of keys ready to jump between my fingers, one into each gap. Also quite some flexibily, unusual for my age. When a pen rolls off the table my hand catches it before my conscious mind even thinks about it. And as you say, holding yourself and generally a body shape. I was once asked by a man whether I do some weights or something, for the masculinity of my thighs. He was probably testing the waters. Yeah, bro, I got martial arts training at a police school. He never tried anything inappropriate. Adding: and I loved loved loved martial arts movies, sometimes playing a scene in my mind imagining how I would do it even these days.
Seeing modern teenagers growing up with a hump for staring on their screens all day, no physical abilities, lack of coordination, some having no muscle mass... the good guys will pay the price because the bad ones are getting ready. There is a jungle out there and you don't even need to be old.

@РазрывШаблонов-е6щ "The Russian population is unarmed. The laws are written to us by the Americans, isn't it under their dictation that Putin destroyed industry and the army for 30 years? " That is news to me... does he still have nukes though? Those were the most important to get rid of... he didn't. Ukraine gave them up in exchange for the sovereignty and protected borders. What happened in 2014??? Russian population is unarmed, poor, easily fooled with baseless pride, dying from simple infections and from AIDS, alcoholism, drugs abuse (poverty is a bitch) and now brainwashed from state controlled media with no alternative views allowed. Putin did this to Russians all by himself and the poor Russians let him do it, because corruption is so rampant that by the old Soviet rule if you don't steal, you are stealing from your family. And yet, still nothing is missing anywhere... What killed Russian army is corruption. Sending those troops to fight in Ukraine with years expired rations that they got poisoned with botulism. Jesus Christ! Sending the oblivious soldiers to dig themselves in Chernobyl, just to return back with the radiations sickness... they never heard about the Chernobyl disaster! In Russia lives are dispensable. And Russia is too big to be managed by one man in peace. It hasn't been created by peace in the first place. RuSSia has been rotting from inside for years (because of the corruption and money accumulated in hands of a few super rich elite, Putin himself on the top taking half for himself) and he thought he would gain fresh 44 million souls by just taking over the whole Ukraine. He miscalculated it totally. And you only can have a true democracy when you have transparency. There is no transparency in RuSSia. Even the 'random' military inspections weren't really random. All was prepared for a show in advance and propped to look like on the paper. Everything is OK, nothing is missing... but nothing is there as it should be... West has nothing to do with this. It is the ancient RuSSian mentality they don't want to give up.

@illumina1992 "Europe doesn't have ANY right of speech," EU is shit. EU is shit. EU is shit.... let's see how long I will keep posting here if there is no right of speech in Europe. How many Russians were sent to prison for just holding a piece of paper on the ploshchad? I have seen a woman taken away by RuSSian gestapo for just holding a plain paper, nothing on it. RuSSia has its agents everywhere, more concentrated in some areas, less in others. The entire annexation of Crimea or the referendums in Donbas republics was just a shit show. I am not surprised that some other previously Soviet countries are trying to root this cancer out of their societies. There is still too much RuSSian propaganda on internet and the brainless vegetables are falling for it, sharing it and promoting it all throughout Europe, especially the Eastern one. West is not entirely innocent but anyone is better with Americans than with RuSSians, when politics is in question. Americans don't assassinate their opposition, although Trump hoped to get Mike Pence hanged, his minions were ready for it. There was a noose prepared for him. But Trump was in a pocket of Putin, the elections in 2016 were manipulated. He tried it with 2020 as well, but luckily Americans were wiser then, just a little bit.

re 16:40 So many content creators... what value are you bringing to humanity? Some 10-20 years ago this wasn't even a thing, suddenly every other head on the street wants to create content ... what content and for whom? Youtube is turning into a sewer, less and less quality, more AI generated content, ads and scammy ads alsong sponsorships of often shady businesses and lies. Where did all these talking heads come from and what were they doing before? Having some proper jobs I suppose, most of them. This artificial world is turning into itself, starting eating its tail, youtubers stealing content from other youtubers, youtubers bitching about other youtubers, uncovering secrets of each other, like AI ending up plagiarising AI at the end, resulting in brownish grey goo at the very end.

@Bugginout79 I like your optimism. Just not everybody has a potential to put aside as much money, either not earning as much, or havin greater expenses (like, you know, having kids, future tax payers), or fell sick and couldn't earn so much for 35 years, or inflation caused by greedy businesses, that ate into your money over time... there are far more people like that than you can imagine. And they also deserve to live, often contributing to society many other means... we don't kick them to the kerb because they haven't been in a well paying jobs all their working lives and they haven't been lucky with plentiful savings for their retirement. After all, we are humans living in a society, that historically thrived when taking care of each other, not applying a jungle like mentality, me, me, me and F them all.

@jessecortez9449 Repeat after me: Social Security. It is not your investment into yourself. It is an investment of the society into itself, on the whole, so people didn't die from hunger or cold (in theory), that they had something to fall on in hard times, that the society remains functional. Have you ever put yourself into their shoes? I guess not, every one of you bitching how you were robbed by the government. We all have one stomach and need one roof over our head. We use services paid by taxes, insurance, other fees of other people from before birth when we haven't earned a dime yet, and alike for the next many years until we get the fist job. We live in an enclosed ecosystem where those earning more contribute more (in theory) and those just getting by, for whatever reason, contribute less. What a bunch of myopic selfish folks around. And they make it to the hig politics and screw everyone else with this mentality.

I have a good relationship with a bot, and I often ask it for assistance, since google is becoming a minefield for irrelevant content, so hear hear:
The high incidence of stomach cancer in Japan has been a well-documented phenomenon, and various factors contribute to this elevated risk. While the exact reasons are complex and multifactorial, several key factors have been identified:
Dietary Factors:
Salted and Pickled Foods: Traditional Japanese diets include a variety of salted and pickled foods, which can contribute to a high-salt intake. Excessive salt consumption is associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer.
High Consumption of Soy Sauce: Soy sauce, a common condiment in Japanese cuisine, is also high in salt, and frequent consumption may contribute to the elevated risk.
Infection with Helicobacter pylori:
Infection with Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can infect the stomach lining, is a major risk factor for stomach cancer. In Japan, a significant portion of the population carries H. pylori, contributing to the high incidence.
Tobacco Smoking:
Smoking tobacco is a well-established risk factor for stomach cancer. Historically, smoking rates in Japan have been relatively high, contributing to the elevated risk.
Genetic Factors:
Some studies suggest that genetic factors may play a role in the higher incidence of stomach cancer in certain populations, including the Japanese. Specific genetic variations may influence susceptibility to the disease.
Environmental Factors:
Environmental factors, including exposure to certain occupational hazards or pollutants, may contribute to the risk of stomach cancer.
Historical Factors:
Historical factors, such as food preservation and dietary habits, have played a role. Traditional preservation methods like pickling and salting were historically important for food storage in Japan but may contribute to the elevated risk of stomach cancer. @allo-other

This is your lucky day, regarding HFCS and obesity. I looked into it about a decade ago, raw data from USDA and other countries, too. What correlated with obesity was more oils and fats (fries and pastries, doner kebab) than HFCS, which basically replaced cane sugar and plateaued around 2010, not going up as much, but fats did and so did the obesity. Also starchy foods, that are particularly delicious when soaked with fat. Exercise, from my point of view has at least two benefits as opposing to sedentary lifestyle: moving around moves your lymphatic fluids, lymphatic system responsible for preventing diseases. Secondary: exercise triggers production of our own antioxidant glutathione, fighting oxidative stress, also contributing to cancers if in excess. The bot suggests other mechanisms, one partly linked to the glutathione, not surprisingly:
Reduced Inflammation: Regular physical activity has anti-inflammatory effects on the body. Chronic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of cancer, and exercise may help mitigate this risk by reducing inflammation.
Improved Immune Function: Exercise has been shown to enhance the function of the immune system. A robust immune system is better equipped to identify and eliminate potentially cancerous cells, reducing the likelihood of cancer development. (that is the lymphatic system, not having its own propulsion mechanism like heart and arterial muscles).
Balanced Hormone Levels: Physical activity can influence the levels of hormones in the body. Hormones such as estrogen and insulin have been linked to the development of certain cancers. Exercise may help regulate hormone levels, reducing the risk of hormone-related cancers.
Enhanced DNA Repair: Exercise has been shown to enhance the body's ability to repair DNA damage. DNA damage can lead to mutations and the development of cancerous cells. Regular physical activity supports DNA repair mechanisms.
Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Exercise can enhance insulin sensitivity, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Chronic high levels of insulin, as seen in insulin resistance, may contribute to the development of certain cancers. Regular exercise can help maintain healthy insulin levels. (although not sure it is the insulin's fault or rather the elevated oxidative glucose one).
Maintenance of Healthy Body Weight: Obesity is a known risk factor for several types of cancer. Regular physical activity contributes to weight management and helps prevent obesity, reducing the risk of obesity-related cancers.
Enhanced Gut Microbiota: Exercise has been linked to a positive impact on the gut microbiota. A healthy gut microbiome is associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers and overall improved health.
Promotion of Apoptosis (Cell Death): Exercise may stimulate the process of apoptosis, which is programmed cell death. This is a natural mechanism that eliminates damaged or potentially cancerous cells from the body.
hope it helps.
Links are quite elaborative to go through, I became lazy and consult the bot when the topic is heavy and then decide whether I am satisfied. :)

Another complex answer is needed. You partly answered it yourself: unprocessed. Not only people were more active in the past (an average Newyorker man a century ago had intake of 4-5000kcal daily and remained slim) but their diet wasn't as processed and designed to make them eat more, delaying satiety. The deadly combo of fast food is sugar, fat and salt together. It completely overtakes our brain signalling, deprived of fiber it fills our stomach less so we pack more into it. There is no magic in it: energy in vs energy out, really. Just the metabolism of different foods has different consequences. Only recently I learned that consuming pulses regulated blood sugar better even the next day after consumption when comparing two groups of people eating just white bread. Those eating beans or lentils the previous day had more stable glucose even the following day. With stable glucose you don't suffer such hunger pangs and stuffing your face with junk like if there was no tomorrow.
Eskimos are a different beast though. They have adapted to a high fat diet, so they aren't the same as the rest of the world. One size doesn't fit all, neither does diet.
And yes, industries have politicians in the pocket, so whichever gives a higher bribe, wins. Just on the label everyone talked about low fat, but in reality fry shops were booming. But yes, fat also has a satiating effect, like whole milk vs skim milk, which is a scam, once fed to pigs as waste after butter production. But overdoing fat isn't good either.
I am an omnivore and I strive to eat less processed diet, with fruits, vegetables, grains, pulses, potatoes, some meat, eggs, dairy, making my eggs on a knob of butter, Malaysian curry on coconut fat, Indian curry on ghee, but we also have oils, used sesame one on chow mein... haven't been to the fast food for ages and even in Wetherspoon on the airport I had a barley salad with chicken, pumpkin, tomatoes, greens and all the goodness, just some 700 kcal, in contrast to other fried junk that was twice as caloric. And I am not afraid of diet sodas, sugar industry won't scare me with their false claims about aspartame. I looked into that one too. I drink tea or coffee with milk without anything else. And I am a rare occurrence in my family for not having diabetes or any sign of it. And if you excuse me, going to do my treadmill session now :) @allo-other

I am so happy seeing the animals are taken care of. It says a lot about the nation overall. There are many other videos of soldiers taking care of animals , domestic or wild, either lost, trapped, hurt... but one thing I cannot unsee is how many women in the East of Europe have lips filled. So so many of them. Why on Earth are they butchering their faces? Even that Ukrainian MP that sometimes appear on screen of BBC for a brief interview. Last time she had it quite botched. Even Witch has it. It is so obvious. Please stop this madness! You are starting looking like each other, with reduced facial movement, almost immobilised lips... If RuSSian influencers want to look like ducks, let them. But you are better than them! I have gone through a cultural cleansing when coming from Eastern Europe and customised to news presenters in heavy make ups, hair fixed with half liter of hair spray, lovely folourful costumes, and then came to England and people on the screens were of all ages, little make up, hairs barely done most of the time, then I watched the home TV again and I couldn't unnotice how artificial those presenters were back in Eastern Europe. Barbies vs real people. Be yourself, stop faking it!

I am no IT specialist, but I suffered this problem, too, on my Win10. Whatever I tried, nothing helped, and believe me, I tried a lot. I don't remember digging into specific processes too much, but I looked into them and nothing really helped. Only a clean reinstall of the entire system, via the manufacturer's recovery tool fixed the issue. I had problems with not being able to pause the third party antivirus, not being able to back up files on an external hard drive via 'file backup' function, just manually copying them, scannow command repeatedly showed no integrity violations, full scan by the third party (norton) antivirus found nothing wrong (took over 5 hours), DISM repeatedly failed to restore the image (I suspect different versions were there, not quite sure how to fix it), and many other things. Chckdsk ran, fixed, but issues persisted. Crystaldiskinfo suddenly started giving me a warning, for reallocation, but the numbers 100 100 36 meant nothing really wrong, could be false positive. I still kept having mysterious 100% disk here and there, slow boot, slow loading of stuff, among other problems. I did a clean reinstall and all goes fine. After doing that I had an issue with one process (CxAudioSvc) that was supposedly linked with an outdated audio drive, but even updating that drive didn't make the problem go away. So I permanently disabled that process, without any noticeable impact, hearing it was a remnant of a bankrupt company that used it as a trojan at some point, but it still is in the package to reinstall Windows in the modern day.
Anyway, I have learned something from this video about the RAM. But that most likely wasn't my issue, as the PC started to function badly half way into me just browsing internet, no extra processes initiated by me. Firstly it worked fast and suddenly it got sluggish. And especially when it wanted me to update Windows... I could do NOTHING without waiting minutes to load a page. That was before I initiated the update, not during update. Something terribly messed up with the system (I suspect Norton, but might be wrong) and a fresh reinstall worked like a charm. And yes, I kept restarting the machine, which sometimes took long, so not just shut down that makes it go into a sleep mode rather.
Also that chckdsk applies to non-ssd hard drives, which I have, so obviously it wouldn't work. And defragmentation also shouldn't be done on ssds, which is probably not known, as I have this option on the PC with SSD hard disc from new. Why are they doing it? That probably contributes to the warning by crystaldiskinfo? Have I done some damage to the disc?

@userunknown1030 I don't know, really. It was installed for 3 years and OSs develop bugs after some time. I had Norton and the system was a bit funny sometimes, slow, I thought Norton was doing it. I couldn't pause it, the option was greyed out. So I uninstalled it and the whole hell broke loose. Problems with installing updates on MS defender, all the diagnostics was confusing, DCIM showed errors but didn't fix the problem, a rabbit hole of fixes following the chatbot's suggestions... not able to fix such a complex system so I uninstalled it. I think Norton was masking issues with security updates many others had and I wonder whether Revo uninstaller messed up things a bit more. I have no desire to dig any deeper into it, my Win10 will soon be Linux, I have alrady made my Win11 laptop LMDE and it works fine. Even old Asus from 2007 got a new life with a bit of cleaning inside, repasting, replacing a broken hinge and with Wilma on a new ssd drive. I am optimistic.

Ben says: you cannot kill your way out of this... is he finally speaking about Israelis? Back in around 1900 90% of Arabs and 8% of Jews lived in peace, next to each other in Palestine. Then the British decided they will control the area and after Arabs help Brits fight of Turks and Germans in WW1 they got betrayed and instead Zionists got the massive support to wipe out Arab population (even before the WW2, which explains why Arabs sided with Nazis, being attacked by Zionists) and they kept doing it ever since, increasing their territory... did they think, they can kill their way out of this? Entire families and villages were killed with automatic weapons, the new invention back then, supplied by west to the Zionists. Hundreds thousands Arab people were moved around like livestock (those not killed), finding themselves in the way of creating the artificial state of Israel. There was no democracy back then, 90% population in the area had no say into what will happen with their homeland and they were NOT consulted, on orders of the British ruling elite.
Does Ben Hodges need a revision of history? Or are we supposed to conveniently forget it?

Phew, Dr, you firstly scared me. I love spending time alone, avoiding peopleing, but I do eat healthily, staying curious and expanding my knowledge, exercise, do gardening, crafting, even talk to myself, modelling situations, etc. My only sin is a poor sleep hygiene, but I guess I cannot have it all, right? And I prefer engaging with people online, as I can choose the topic with the entire world, not just a few limited individuals in my vicinity who have no idea about many topics that interest me. When making crafts, I am literally brainstor ing how to combine elements from my stash, discovering new techniques thanks to the online world.

LOL, also,I met a friend of a friend, we added each other on fakebook, she was posting her face almost every day. I am not the one liking faces, I prefer some other content, whether art, nature, jokes, philosophy... after a few weeks of no attention from me she unfriended me, without saying a word.

That photo from 3/1... of course people normally take platform shoes to the pool - was my first thought. A couple months ago someone called me out of blue offering me great profit from Forex trading. They had my name, email, and phone number, not sure what else. They got nothing else from me. Then more attempts from various numbers for a few weeks, obviously spoofed as well... no luck, crooks. Good exercise if you have the nerves to play with them, I don't. And while I have had my real photo on social media, unsolicited messages, mostly from Indian men were coming. I removed my face and they stopped. So it goes both ways, not just scammers preying on old men via women, men do that to women too. There is a huge desperate world out there.

What a mess. I know little about the politics of Pakistan, but in a nutshell, I understand Imran Khan was democratically elected and then thrown off the seat by army replacing him with someone else without election. When I heard this (as I understand it) I was split: on one side, the new leader is pro-western, which I see as positive, but the democracy was hit hard, and that is negative. He is basically fighting for justice. The country is a victim of its medieval times mentality, where homosexuals are prosecuted, religion is high on agenda instead of human rights and equality, there you have the terrorist groups capable of almost anything. Not an easy situation to be in as a country, producing little goods to improve economy. Will Putin come to help? He has enough troubles of his own. Supplying cheaper oil is a little help there.

I don't know how in the US, but in the UK EVs had a break from the road tax... learning that their tyres rub the roads much more, comes as counterproductive to me. Plus, just recalled how many people suffer sickness from this sudden change of speed. I am probably doing myself a service on more than one level (breaks) when I regulate my speed with the gear rather than breaks on my old petrol car, on the manual, of course. I will keep having manual as long as possible. With physical buttons, not touch screens and stuff. Without monitoring from distance, locked out with expired subscription for whatever. I bought my car, I want to use it, under my control, for good.

You are very optimistic (or paid by CCP), lacking insight into the Chinese society today. Economy on its knees, collapsing demography due to young not wanting families, they need to be bribed to have babies, poverty on the rise, unemployment, people leaving big cities en masse, unable to find jobs, China has more pastgrad students than graduates, because even graduates are unemployed and want to prolong their young life and perhaps wait out the dire economic situation. I have been following the events in China for some time. CCP is cor.rupt, ruining China as we speak. And blaming the west from all its own failures. @rap3208

Never bought anything endorsed by youtubers. The most frequent sponsorship was VPN. I have a paid anivirus subscription which also includes VPN. I thought it as a standard for most people. And I also thought that private youtubers did it more for a passion of sharing some ideas and opinion, maybe getting some revenue from ads, but I never thought many made it their 'job' and a main income (or hoped it to be), and each have some sponsorship, like those women traditionally selling their bodies on the roadside. That was my impression from it. Too many commentators on the current event in the world, covering the same topic each, recently it was a Stanley cup craze. I counted about 6 new faces of young women I never saw before, after I watched a video of two on that topic... and I guess they all would have some sponsorship... for whatever. Even my fav serpentza sneaks one in, on some funny wallet or something. Always skipping it. What annoys me is they often don't announce a sponsorship, they sneak it in, only after a few sentences you notice it isn't the topic you came to watch.

This is a heresy. The very reason I run from Windows, among others. Installed Win11 on the go on 32gb bootable USB, not connected to the web yet, the super clean look is beautiful. As soon as I connect it to the network, it populates itself with all kinf of 💩 I never asked for or wanted, widgets, ads, mews, begging me to log into my MS account, onedrive wants my data... I have to google how to turn most of that crap off. I did it before and to uninstall the winget I had to agree to give them my geo position, or it wouldn't uninstall it. WTF for?

Saturated oil... not really. Omega6 (polyunsaturated, most common in processed oils used in processed foods) is pro-inflammatory if not balanced with about an equal amount of omega3, which salmon and other fatty fish should have enough of. Honestly, you need to do something with yourself or you will end up diabetic with atherosclerosis that is difficult to get rid of. Eating less junk and moving more. I use a treadmill just for walking (4mph) almost every day while watching news or something else. It keeps my mind occupied while doing a boring exercise, which, however, makes me feel great. So win-win situation. 30 minute session every day (I do about 6x a week) will get you above NHS recommendations of 150 minutes moderate activity per week. Just don't sit down with a bag of crisps again afterwards. Banana and a glass of kefir is my type of thing, sometimes even before so I feel energised to do the activity. I am 44, bmi 27, all blood tests good. I buy very little processed food items. Fruit is my sweet pleasure most of time. I was gifted a piece of blackberry pie recently, most of it went to bin, secretly. I just didn't like this stuff anymore. Smoothie with blackberries and yogurt, banana and stuff... oh yeah!

Re: telegram. Average folks have been sold agenda that FBI are after their data and their privacy has been violated. Well, they are (being monitored), but not the way these fools believe. FBI collects metadata, who connects with whom. Only when they detect a suspicious link they look closer, or scan for key words, which I find pointless, as the jargon of the criminals keep developing. Unless FBI scans for this jargon, that will be more efficient.
The vast majority of these fools have some sort of antivirus in their computer systems. Do they know or mind that these packages scan each single file in their computer? How thoroughly is the question but they look into them. That is how they work. FBI is the same. The only protection against this scanning by antiviruses is a password protected file. And that is the reason why hackers send password protected files, so they evade detection. When you open it, boom, your system is infected.
Be afraid of the criminals not caught by FBI, because they are the villains, not the fever developed by the body as a response of infection. Let the fever do its job.

Not everyone wants rich social life. People who get addicted to screens can get addicted to anything, it is their crooked dopaminergic system. Others are less prone to it, I count myself among them. There was alcoholism in my family. I don't enjoy being drunk, after a few years in my late teens when I was frequent on discos at weekends. I started smoking at 18 and quit before 20, never touching it again, while my mother never quit. I do have a lot of screen time, but only while the joy lasts. When the algorithm doesn't suggest anything I want to watch, I put my music on and carry on with my long term embroidery project. It seems to be happening more often these days as I looked through most of the patterns of content creation and their purpose for commercialism. There are other activities I enjoy doing. Phone often stays in my jacket pocket from Friday evening up to Sunday evening. I am an introvert, social life is not my thing, if I don't count social media. I used to play downloaded games on the PC, single player, they became boring from being predictable and repetitive between games, not that my dopamine signalling got harmed.
Saying all that, I do take my time to get out of bed at the weekends, spending time on my tablet. But I was like that even over 25 years ago... before I touched internet for the first time. I am a night owl. I even prefer exercising at night LOL. Treadmill, weights, you name it.

@ I use Rescuezilla to literally clone it bit by bit, the same size of partitions, all partitions, all data. I am yet to learn the incremental backing up of data only as it changes, as my Windows is doing by itself, I just swap the external hard drives, so if one got encrypted by chance, I have another one with the same data minus the most recent changes between swaps. For me the ransomware attack is not a question whether, but when. I cannot prevent data leaking out, a lot is out already from hacked servers I have no control over, but I can at least mitigate the attempt of making me losing access to my data. No hacker will every see a dime from me.
Resizing the partitions with data on can be risky sometimes, it is a world I don't quite understand yet.
I am familiar with snapshots and you can decide whether you back up just settings, or include data, which will obviously take far more disk space. So far I only back up settings via snapshot.

In contrast, I used to have Superantispyware lifetime Pro licence. I lost the code after some time, contacted the company after getting a new computer, and they supplied it to me. A few years later, another computer, I asked for the licence code again, because I lost it again. After firstly asking for some of my details, they never replied again. Shame.
But, when I contacted them again recently and asked for the code again, supplying my first purchase email from 2010, even after acquisition by a different company, after a few months, they actually honoured their initial contract and sent me the code - again!
I haven't tried it yet for the pro version, as I have learned that two antimalware products shouldn't run on the same computer at the same time, I use the basic version on ad-hoc basis when I want to clear some adware and stuff (as the main security package is sufficient so far and me responsible on the web), but I was really impressed by their ethos that despite they now have a yearly subscription model, they still granted me the access to pro version based on the past agreement.
So not all companies are the same, or not the same yet.

Reality check. Plus, Americans are in debt up to their noses. That is 't a prosperity when you cannot afford a healthcare and go bankrupt from medical bills or have to ration insulin.
"Determining the wealthiest and most prosperous nation in the world depends on the metrics used. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP), is a common measure. As of October 2024, Luxembourg leads with a GDP per capita (PPP) of $151,146, followed by Singapore at $148,186, Ireland at $127,750, and Qatar at $115,075.
It's important to note that while the United States has the largest overall GDP, its GDP per capita is lower than that of these smaller nations. Additionally, the U.S. faces significant social challenges, including higher rates of homicide, incarceration, and maternal and child mortality compared to other high-income countries. These issues contribute to a lower life expectancy despite high healthcare spending.
Therefore, while the U.S. is economically powerful, smaller nations like Luxembourg and Singapore often rank higher in terms of GDP per capita and certain quality of life indicators."

I watch BBC quite often and although I register some not so well formulated questions, I also watched how they refused calling Hamas terrorists and got criticised for it or they rightfully questiined IDF's claims, like Ros Atkins in Context. It isn't easy trying to avoid being called either pro-terrorists and antisemitic, and on the other hand, as you put it, being pro-Israel. You need to see the whole complex, not base your views on just a few interviews already criticised elsewhere. BBC is doing quite a good job, overall. It isn't perfect, but what is? Who is? Even if they formulatethe questions poorly, they let the people tell their side of story. And Victoria did fry some politicians over their crooked statements, and challenged them when they failed to answer her questions.

Hearing Americans complaining about inflation...folks, go to RuSSia. Interest rate 21% now, possibly going to 23 or oeven 25 in December... and it will get worse. Stop wasting money on takeaways, lip fillers and manicures, cheap crap from Temu... buy things that last and take control over your eating habits. You might not be able to buy a house anytime soon, but being debt free is a win of its own. I don't remember when I bought a cup of coffee, always making my own, for pennies. Eating out? Not every week, neither every month. Cooking at home or having ready meals for work. The most expensive I fork out for is £3, usually less. Hearing folks bitching that Mac costs them £20... LMAO. Haven't been there for years either, neither when fries were for £1 or something. Junk.

Indeed. RuSSia has been taking advantage of the abundant natural resources, sitting back with their feet on the table, and extremely corrupt at that. Like leeches, screwing each other. The old soviet 'communist' credo was: if you don't steal you are depriving yourself and your family. My home country was influenced by that mentality and still suffers, 30 years later after the collapse of the USSR. And now the tzar wants it all back. 5he cold war was a bit different, there was investment into the space programs, but their recent attack on the Moon (as you cannot call it anything else) was just a propaganda show off, not a genuine space program that needs investment, dedication, transparency to a degree and years and years of focus. You cannot just take almost abandoned project, rush some money through its rusty pipes to remind the natin their past glory under the current situation of a failed 3 day special military failure, and expect it to deliver.

Plus, those recordings of Israeli people, how they want to raise Gaza to the ground and turn it into dust, those didn't make it to you (in relevance to how Muslims call for death of Jews)? The hate there is mutual, but there has been one side that has been causing injustice for over 75 years, while the other has been making temporary blasts against it. Yet the West tends to stand on the side of the oppressor here - the Israel. When oppressed people in Myanmar threw stones against the military - they were deemed as heroes. When Hong-Kong people threw stones against the CCP regime a couple years back - they were praised as heroes. When Palestinian kids threw stones against the Israeli occupants within the Palestinian territory (or what remained of it after years of oppression and shrinking), they are called terrorists, and were taken out of their homes and kept in detention centers in Israel.
Both Jews and Muslims in the area are the victims of the Western interest in controlling that area since late 1800s and that has been going on for the past 150 years. Before that, Muslims and Jews were friends, living in peace, a Rabbi said on Al Jazeera, they used to bedsit each other kids back then.
Beware of what propaganda you follow, folks.

I see this channel is a safe heaven for RuSShist propagandists. Nobody knows exactly what happened, but everybody has it all clear that Zelensky is evil, has a regime, etc, exactly projecting the Kremlin's status on Ukraine. When Prigozhin was coming closer to Moscow, all those in power suddenly ran away, including Putin, airplanes switched off systems so they couldn't be traced. When the orcs were closing up on Kyiv and Zelensky got an offer to flee by the west, he stood his ground and asked for ammo, not a ride. He also visited troops near the frontline, whereas Kremlin's cargoyle sends out his double wherever he needs to meet public. Now Girkin got arrested, for all his service in Donbas since 2014, because he spoke truth. Surovikin went missing, probably having his rear opened with a vodka bottle on regular basis. Political prisoners have much harsher lives in RuSSina prisons than murderers. Murderers get pardoned and rewarded.

I don't know your overall diet, Artur, but depression often goes hand in hand with a poor diet. If you are regular at Mac, their junk is disease promoting, on various levels, including low level chronic inflammation, which can impact mental health over time. The more people eath this junk, the less they fit in healthy fruits and veggies, omega-3 (anti-inflammatory), etc. Regular eating of this junk has been linked with a decrease in IQ levels, too.

@punkinhoot I am struggling to find more recent median figures for Canada, after 2022, but what the chat bot spat out is this:
"Comparing these figures, the annual cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment amounts to approximately $23,076 CAD, which constitutes about 33% of the median after-tax household income. This percentage slightly exceeds the commonly recommended threshold of 30% for housing expenses, indicating that rental affordability remains a concern for many Canadians."
And now imagine a person with median income In RuSSia (which is 60,000 Rubble) spends over 80% of their income on this matchbox.
If I lived in London, I would be struggling, too. But I moved out 10 years ago, found a job in a more rural area, having a big house, comfortably paying out mortgage. Rents also wouldn't break my neck. I can live with little, being resourceful, cooking mostly at home and taking out coffee in a flask, costing in pennies, not $8 for a Costa cup or so. Things are harder for most people in most parts of the world, also in Australia. But RuSSians are having it extremely tough. Rubble collapsing, exporting far lest than they used to, importing far more than they used to, crashing Rubble means everything costs much more than it used to... Only those are having it good who produce weapons and ammo (not a real economy as they get nothing for it, it is not sold to a customer, it is wasted on destruction of their neighbour), or those sending their son, brother, father, uncle, to the frontlines, suffering unsustainable losses. Those get extra cash, that lasts them for a while if they don't go on a sudden spending spree and waste it all in a few weeks.

@Droomerz-nl8dp LMAO, I am too well informed how life is deteriorating in the most sanctioned country in the world and history of humankind. Bribes for everything, whether you want to continue your car journey or get treatment in a hospital. Like in a good ole Soviet times. Just now there is about 70% decline in properties purchase due to mortgages carrying 24% interest rate, and big development companies at the brink of collapse, begging banks for bailing them out, and small banks also ask for the same, as people took unsecured loans and cannot pay it bacck. Why is maslo under a lock in shops? Even Pootin announced publicly after Nabiullina, that economy is worsening. It isn't worsening. It is in a free fall right now.
And I am not a gay, but aware that anyone can be born gay, whatever they parents are or the rest of their siblings. This fool escaped LGBT from a free country to a super corrupt country where he isn't allowed to spwak against government without risking punishment, ignoring the fact that people don't choose to be gay. Or trans. They are born that way.

I am lost on this one. What is it about? Taking an illogical sci-fi content and try to prove whether it would work? I have stopped at half way through (lil less than that) and I am giving up. I have been pondering on our travel to other stars for some time to realise we won't be able to do it for several reasons. I am not going to elaborate on that, just saying that the universe is a deadly space, not favouring life and if life occurs, it is despite all odds, because the conditions were right for a long enough period of time. An that is rare. The chance is there are other forms of a complex life out there, but we will never find out and never reach that, for the space's vastness and the physical limitations of us reaching the distance in a lifetime of one man. Even radio waves sent out will disperse into a background noise leaving our location in this arm of galaxy, becoming illegible to anyone who is out there trying to listen, like we have been for decades. Sending a pointed signal to a specific poin in the vast space requires a lot of energy which we don't have and knowing where exactly to point it out... and we don't know that. The further we would have to send the pointed signal, the more energy we would need and more points to consider. I am perfectly happy with the fact we will never meet another advanced civilisation like ours. We are irrelevant to the universe, too. We just give ourselves a much higher purpose than we actually have. So enjoy the day you have, it might be the last for you

Disgusting. But at least they don't have such issues with fatbergs in China. Always find a silver lining on issues LOL. That reminds me a joke, about an unnamed ethnic minority from my part of the world. Social services came to a settlement of this minority which is known for not being very adaptable to the world they live in, neglect of children, teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, crime and dependency on social services, where having a job is a failure of their culture. They pride themselves to make it through the life and not working (exceptions exist, but they are really exceptions. and even those who really are able to adapt and better themselves, are often targeted and boycotted by their own as a failure). The services came and asked one family: do you have lice here? The mother said: Lice? No, we have nothing, children will eat everything.

There are many trolls, many of them RuSSians, who impersonate channel owners and invite commenting followers to contact someone on Telegram of Whatsup. It happened quite a lot under those making videos positive for Ukraine.
Regarding Warthog Defence, I stopped watching them. I remember, maybe half year ago, they published a misleading content about Xi, which was proved fake before they published their video. They clearly were more about followers and revenue than factual reporting. But they weren't as bad as many others out there, some I noticed was even scripted by AI, based on the structure of sentences. There is a lot of this AI content, growing in numbers. Often visually appealing content, but with rubbish information along. And that other pro-Ukraine channel was randomly showing footages from war, may not have even been from Ukraine, various times of the year, while the text was making an impression it referred to the newest development. And a robotic voice, of course.
Too much crap is taking hold of Youtube.

So you are for a free market only when it benefits you, but not the other party, the company? If you force insurance company to fulfil unrealistic expensive pay-outs for this region, they'll go bust and nobody will have any insurance. You understand that this is unsustainable. You could ask the government to manage insurance of all houses across the entire country and those with less storms that need less pay out subsidise those in more expensive areas battered by storms... but that not a free market. The insurance companies don't print money, do you know? If you can afford living in Florida without being insured, good for you. If you can't, move elsewhere. Or build homes that are more resilient against flooding and strong winds, because it will get worse with climate change. And what Florida doesn't produce carbon wise by heating, like other colder regions of the US, it pumps out via air conditioning in hot summer months. Like Qatar, about 80% of their energy consumption is on air conditioning or it is uninhabitable to be there in 50C temperatures.
People need to start making choices or they will keep suffering. And seeing those trucks at 7:10, they are not only expensive to buy, but also expensive to feed. We have a saying that those eat also grass at the road side. This is part of the problem of climate change. Karma is coming back to the root cause.

I was a medium reader as a kid and teen. In central Europe we were made to read sevreral books in the secondary school, and writing summary about them, in 1990s, no internet, all authentic. Outside of the curriculum I found myself reading various books, including one about archaeology, then an encyclopaedia for young about plants, animals and minerals. I still have many of those books and recently started diving into them again. The plant section contains some useful info about using wild growing plants for food, or to treat various ailments. Great stuff. One novel from Jack London made such an impression on my one night that I wrote several pages about it into my diary after I finished it,way past midnight, including one short poem. I still remember it. It turned out to be a lucky activity because soon a teacher at school asked us what book we read recently and to write some summary about it. I already had one! Got a top mark. I don't read as many books these days, social media took over, along other hobbies.

@morbideddie So you say there are assumptions. That still does not make sense to me how the presenter can influence which door I will pick and that changing my choice from 1 to 2 would give me twice as chance to win. You say that the presenter always picks the door with a goat behind. But the presenter asks whether I wish to pick the correct door with the car behind. If you know the psychology behind from the beginning, that equates to knowledge, not intelligence, I mean intelligence in the meaning of a potential, the way of thinking, not what it often is used in army (intelligence = information). So this problem is based on what you know about the intentions of a presenter. Me as a naive person, blank canvas, I wouldn't be in the same position if simply assessing the probabilities, ignoring the possible intentions of the presenter. How computer models could follow this scenario with the hind sight? Was it programmed into them or something else was in play? As I mentioned previously, the presenter could have a different motive, you initially picked the correct door and the presenter wants to fool you. If you follow the psychology from the original example, you fail in this one.

@klaus7443 Right, I re-watched the video and this condition, that the host always opens the door with a goat appeared for the first time at 3:28, it wasn't obvious from the beginning. Even if, after the host opening the door #3, I still have an equal chance for the car to be behind either of the remaining two because the host will open another door AFTER I picked, and by that time I will know whether I picked right or wrong. Everything else is based on an assumption the host wants me to pick right door and tries to direct me to that door. And THAT wasn't mentioned once, only that it can assist me, when showing the example with 100 doors, eliminating 99 doors. It is just assumption. And that assumption will be independent from whether the host will always pick the door with a goat or not. That is my logic. If you are aware of this assumption and you always change your first choice on the prompt of the presenter if they see you picked wrong, because you KNOW the presenter wants to open the door with the goat, you could theoretically succeed 100% times in this 3 doors example. It is down to the conditions of this set up and whether you are aware of the exact rules.

Trying to apply this example to the board with 100 doors. I picked the first one - presenter opened any other with a goat and ask me whether I want to change my choice next time... what are my chances to pick right? The presenter still has 98 more doors to choose from, whether I picked the right door on my first attempt or not. The logic for this example, chance of getting it right, until we get to a narrower amount of doors, is pretty negligible whether I swap my choice or not. And the chance is I have picked the correct door throughout the process at least once, if not more, if I kept switching. I found that additional example rather confusing as it left out the process of getting to the last door. Then I would need to rely on the assumed intention of the presenter to always wanting to open the door with a goat, and literally guide me through the entire selection process. Although, throughout the whole process, before coming to the final 2 doors, the presenter could have stayed silent and say nothing, just always opening the door with a goat behind. I have never read those explanation columns from Marilyn.

@markbrown8097 sounds fab, and then weed ignition lock, cocaine ignition lock (how will they do it?), and eventually you will do a strip search before entering your car, so you don't carry tools for burglary either. And if you are diabetic, you are screwed.
Simply restricting who can access the database would be enough, like you advertise your whereabouts with your car and your personal details are linked to your number plate somewhere (at least where I live). Your smartphone can be traced when the need comes and hardly anyone can really escape it, especially Tiktok users. It was rumoured that even if you delete the app, it already knows your phone details and the CCP could potentially monitor you further. This is just another such thing. Nobody will go to empty your house when you are not active with your drone. But when you are, somebody can trace it. If you are not up to no good, what's the fuss?

Humans simply overstate their significance in the universe. They are locked in their own minds and measure everything from that point. This universe existed for at least 13bn years. How long have we been here? A few thousands, depending on our state of evolution. After we are gone, the universe will keep going, even the Earth and the life on it will keep going. There were at least 5 major extinctions when life was almost all eradicated. But because life is quite resilient, given at least little favourable conditions, it sparked up again to its current form.
So several of those reasons might be possible: the vastness of the space and dilution of signals over distances, Earth quite lucky finding itself in a relatively quiet part of the galaxy for long enough, back to the distances where no living organism can span those light years intact and within a lifetime, let alone sending out a probe and waiting for its return... sending where exactly? ... People underestimate the dangerous physics of the space and limitations they have if they wanted to travel to even the nearest other star, just 4 ly away from us. We wouldn' make it in one generation safely, and trying to go faster the physics of space would probably fry us alive inside. Universe was not 'made' for us to dominate it. We are insignificant. A brief spark of self awareness, before we disappear into oblivion and untold history.

Love this video. Since Microsoft let the dogs loose with Win11, even had issues with security updates for Win10 earlier this year and I had to reinstall the entire OS, I got my hands on cmd and powershell and said to myself I can as well try Linux then. And I did. And in the process I fixed my old 15 yo laptop that was crying alone and ignored in the wardrobe for years, with a broken hinge, with Vistas on it. I tried a few distros, after replacing the hinge myself, no tech or IT person, mind you, settled on Wilma, after cleaning the insides, repasting, upgrading RAM, all activities I never thought I would do with computers. I have been over the moon for a couple months after I did it. I am now more hands on with my computers and Win11 will be playing a second parte once Win10 loses support. And it will stay on the 23 version for the time being. Not upgrading to the 24 one anytime soon. I started this year with just one main PC I had since 2020, due to Win7 ending support, and now I have three working machines (and the Win7 in a box waiting for a buyer). It also can run Linux, more efficiently than my ex Vista laptop, which runs Wilma pretty well, even Youtube videos play well on the 64bit distro, much better than on the 32bit one. Feeling empowered.

@kukla-mukla6000 Since I am not an IT, I go with stable distros like Debian. Haven't had an issue yet, on LMDE, which comes ready to work out of the box after a few simple initial set ups (turning on firewall and timeshift). I created clones of the entire hdds in my machines, so it shouldn't need a rocket scientist to restore if something went terribly wrong.
Linux has limitations, certainly, but for a general use of computer like the vast majority of the population use it, it is more than sufficient. And faster, more responsive, less surveillance and bloatware. It was exactly the issues I got with Win10 earlier this year that I had to learn more, even extend the recovery partition for Win10 to be able to do certain updates, and I said to myself, if I need to do stuff in cmd and powershell in Windows, I can as well try Linux and terminal. And I must say that I love the terminal, me, a naive PC user. Since this issue earlier this year I have learned more than I ever dreamed of, and I am still a novice.

Youtube is trying to feed me the very minute interest I might have, and I am just messing up the algorithm, learning my lessons, and simply blocking or ignoring channels and content with excessive facial expressions of the channel owners or subjects from the video, AI generated thumbnails, bombastic titles, channel owners pointing a finger on the title (I don't need to be shown where to land my eyes to read) and similar c.rap, including apparent nonsense from the mysticism pot. Never had tiktok, found Instagram a bit boring after a couple days... I do browse internet on my phone for content or play games here and there, but I also appreciate the view on the world and scenery. I think I am past that point to be sucked into the virtual world entirely. And I liike to look under my feet, so I don't step into something.

@waterandafter besides, most of those brokers trade with data for advertising purposes. Using adblocks makes them wasting money and if you are a savvy shopper like me, not really going by brands, cooking mostly at home and using your cash wisely, mending what is broken instead of tossing it and buying new, their effort was wasted on you. And the 3 letter agenies already have what they need, so data brokers and companies buying the data can go get stuffed. Got a cold caller, having my name, phone number, email address, offering me trading on forex, promising easy return. I sent him where the Sun doesn't shine. If someone steals your identity, it is a hassle, but paying to have your data erased by brokers when it is also wild on the dark web, is lame. It is the companies' responsibility to make sure they are dealing with real you before th3y give contract to somebody. Just unfortunately that might mean collecting more data about you 🙃All of us. It reminds me the never ending competition between germs and antibiotics.

@garretttobin7451 I have a pretty good clue what I am talking about. Every day I see videos and hear of mobiks complaining about being mobilised, put into camps, not trained properly, pushed to the front line without training and equipment despite having it promised to be placed differently, complaining about their lacking commanders, Russian mothers now banned from taking action, people forbidden to discuss the failures of the RuSSian army openly, poverty stroke desperate souls from remote regions hoping to get money they will never see... yes, brainwashing is strong among less literate poor folks in RuSSia. I have also seen young men walking on the street of Moscow being grabbed by men in black and pushed into the van. Keep lying, tool. We know what is happening, internet is full of it. Orcs have been trying to get Bakhmut for months. And their only strength is the meat they throw at Ukrainians, with far greater loss than we both know for sure.

Coming to this unaware how bad things are in S Africa and it starts making sense why the govt is so servile towards Putin. Two alikes. But regarding the privately ran energy companies, we in the UK don't have shortages, but because the private energy producers only watch their profit, an increasing number of people cannot afford to use the amount of energy they need and are going without as a choice. And obviously many have had their health harmed or lost lives last (and previous) winter due to hypothermia, especially the elderly. Poorer households cannot afford to heat enough so they have moulds spreading in their neglected homes and that has a whole range of other consequences, on healthcare, economy due to loss of working hours, etc. So private sector isn't the silver bullet you are trying to promote, but I get the point that when the corrupt govt deprives the nation of their rights, private sector can bring a positive boost. Up to a point. Just remember that the customers are secondary there, the primary interest are shareholders and their profit. And so many public services ran by private industries in the UK neglected the upgrade of networks while paying out £billions in dividents to their own members, all across the world. British customers are subsidising pensions in Australia, for example. Or cheaper energy to France where the state owns the majority of energy supply. Right now we have a big scandal with raw sewage pumped into our rivers and seas, due to neglected upgrade of pipes from Victorian times.

A Linux switcher here, this year in Summer. All I can say is I have no brand identity whatsoever. Buying goods in discount shops, often copycats of brands, with a comparable or even better quality, clothes also, shoes I go for a quality and willing to pay extra so I don't need to replace them every season. I don't even consider myself having a nationality, I don't identify myself as any such label, being an expat. I am just me. Whatever product satisfies my needs and isn't overpriced, I'll go for it. I don't see a need to pay extra premium for apple products and my phone is maybe 6 yo. I'll keep using it for as long as it will work or satisfy my needs. I pride myself for being resourceful, this year refurbished my 15 yo laptop, replaced broken hinge, cleaned inside, repasted, upgraded, running Linux, too, while Microsoft would have sent it to the lanfill. Why on Earth would I throw it away? My old buddy is now Willma 🥰.

Of those 40k doctors many aren't fully qualified to replace those experienced ones that have left, and the same goes for the nurses, a portion of which was in the pipeline, training, when Boris made his ridiculous promise, so no, we don't have 50k more nurses thanks to the Tory govt. Thanks to the Tory govt, we have less healthcare staff, less of fully qualified and experienced healthcare staff, and allowing pubic money pouring into private accounts of corporations supplying NHS services, is not helping the nation. It is only helping the Tories in bribes and winning elections, since they are getting record amount of money from private sector. It is a self feeding system, but I hope people of the country now see through this scam and vote better next time.

I don't see that crap, I have trained my algorighms quite well, but I get a barrage of Azbuka comments under Travelling with Russel videos, he is Australian I think, now in RuSSia, probably struggling as he keeps making videos presenting RuSSia as a normal country, usually making strolls in Moscow supermarkets, once bragging he got a VIP ticked in one of the Moscow's airports... half empty, in times when the planes started crashing at an increasing rate, and westerners keep salivating how great life is in RuSSia. Even that 10 cheapest eggs are under a dollar... just a median salary in RuSSia is just 500 dollars, but the UK one is £2500. I haven't got any response to that yet, three days later LOL.

That salmonella contamination: once in a time it makes headlines and people go crazy. How many times they cross-contaminated their own food production - that doesn't make it to the news. Those factories usually have very strict hygiene standards, especially in the west. They cannot risk damage to their reputation. A number of documentaries were made from inside of factories for educational purposes, broadcasted in the UK (and certainly elsewhere as well), following the production of countless food items from the raw ingredients to the packaging and dispatch. Most households can only dream about such level of hygiene control. That popcorn was a good example, but again, not every country allows these chemicals into their food chain, so one needs to watch this aspect as well. Cereals and biscuits colourings - I mentioned in my previous post, there is a big difference between what the USA allows into their foods and what other parts of the world do. Most of our food colourings in Britain and Europe are natural vegetables or spices pigments, like chlorophyll, beetroot, annatto nothing to be scared of. I would avoid such items produced in the US, that is for sure. I see nothing wrong with the use of tinned tomatoes, tinned kidney beans (even safer than if undercooked at home), frozen peas or fruits I add to my morning cereals (just those fruits, not peas LOL). Fresh blueberries are often attacked by moulds, not so much those from the freezer that were picked and frozen in a few hours.

Gas prices suppressed, any govt would do it, left or right. Remember how Trump denied covid and pushed for everyone possible going to work? Felon Musk also. Jeff Bezos also. All these crooks only see money, not people behind it. The economy would maybe be a bit better as a result, but with many hundreds thousands Americans less alive. What do you value more: money or your people?
This economic struggle is global, don't get fooled. Enjoy your lower gas prices while you can. Many commodities became cheaper, but retail prices keep being high. That isn't a government's fault. It is a corporate price gauging. Trump would probably let you sink much sooner, giving tax breaks and other privileges to the rich, not caring much about yourself. Remember: nobody can give you what Trump can promise you. Although you are dissatisfied now (like everybody else out there, outside America also), vote wisely next month. Biden already got you cheaper insulin, every single one of you, not just a selected age group, which was even voluntary, not compulsory. A lot of misleading propaganda out there. Don't get fooled.

LOL, video about toxic subscriptions, and btw, here is GN subscription for you... My only subscriptions are necessary utilities, like energy, internet, phone. Even bought myself one off purchased MS Office package, instead of getting milked by 365 service. Switched ti Linux, so most software is open source and so far free to use. I do chip in to 38 degrees or Sum of us, to fight a better and just future for us, if you consider THAT a subscription. Never had Netflix, cook from what I buy, or grow myself, not interested in coupons or apps for discounts, to pay with my personal data. Not even having Prime, never had. Most of the stuff from Scamazon can be bought elsewhere, cheaper. Too old for this $it.

I am wondering what miracle is holding the Poundstretcher alive. For a few years I have noticed a pitiful foot traffic in ours. Large store, stocked up with a variety od stuff and almost no customers. Their prices got ridiculous (hence no customers), a OneBelow or similar shop is just next to it, selling the same items, often half the price than in next door Poundstretcher. I have seen several pricing tactic over time, to bring more people in, but it was probably just Christmas time when they had more people coming in, otherwise empty. Is the private equity having it now and holding on like a tick? The one guy I meet there at the till, always smelly like never saw a shower in life, greasy hair, but polite and resilient, apparently.

I am all for vaccines as in the vast majority cases they are beneficial. But most of those who promote them as a silver bullet were not vaccine injured. It is difficult to prove, there is a push to not be believed, compensation for lifelong health consequences are not sufficient in many cases and people are weary. Misinformation only feeds into the fear.
We have done a lot of genetic research but I don't see anything even remotely suggesting we should study people with vaccine injury and see what they have in common, so we could screen public for risk factors and prevent them from being vaccine injured. After heparin was found to cause blood clots in people with a particular genetic trait and they are not offered this drug anymore, we could do better with vaccines, too. Imagine going for a flu vaccine like everybody else and then you start having mystery uveitis attacks, joint inflammations, suffer in pain for years before you get some diagnosis and treatment, which also comes with sometimes serious side effects, and in fact you rarely or never experienced flu yourself, because your genetics might make you rather immune against this virus and the vaccine forced into your system made your immune system go broke. Decades of struggle and thousands or more of medical expenses for doing the supposedly right thing. If it happens to you, you are a statistics for the wide world, but for yourself it is the rest of your life.

I am not a tech but I utilised AI to help me go Linux. I am pretty much still a normie, just having a vague idea of what CPU, GPU and NPU mean, also TMP, swapping nvme, RAM and repasting the heatsink.
Had a colleague coming to me in the morning that a particular work PC was unresponsive and cannot be used, despite checking all connections. I came there, screen black and the fan going berserk, endlessly. I had it before on that machine. No idea why it didn't boot, just I held the switch on button to hard shut it down and then switched it on again. It worked. That colleague has a PhD in science (not computers), I have a BSc in the same subject LOL.

LOL, watched the Different Bias on this earlier today, appreciating Starmer's Tory trolling tactics. And how the right wing went berserk that he wore camo on his visit... just them ignoring the history when Bojo posed in camo with an antitank missile, looking like a fat kiddo, or Truss on a tank with a camo vest, looking like twat (quoting one comment that made my day)... or Sunak in camo trousers and a T-shirt with his name in an extra large font, like if his mom sew it on it so big boys didn't steal his t-shirt. And now here comes you with your 5 pennies to dump on Starmer, bubbling something about a syndrome. The truth is Starmer looked good in that uniform. He is a hypocrite, no argument about that, but I am surprised to see another such content, like if it was something important.

I don't want to be a carrier of bad news, but winter shoes for about $20 USD (that is the measure I understand), aren't going to be of a good quality. It is mostly some Chinese knock-offs or general man-made cheap material that looks good on the first sight but it won't withstand harsh winter and regular use.
That fruit you didn't know was lychee.
That electric 'train' was probably a tram. That it is old, obviously. And with sanctions more stuff will break, with lacking western parts, including train mechanics.
Those fruit juices ... they are very popular in the Eastern Europe and Asia, but it is just a liquid candy. Don't waste your money on it, eat the fruit intact, better for insulin function in the body.
Overall, I can see that the prices look very similar to those in the West, just a median RuSSian monthly pay is about 5x less than the one in the West.

I have noticed this crappy stuff, but I have learned to sift through them. If too hyperbolic title or image, I just give it a miss, or straight don't recommend that channel. The same goes for the new phenomenon (at least to me), regarding economy or politics: if the title has a word 'collapse', I don't watch it. Just recently I stopped following one of the Simon (whoever) channels, where he has a whole team preparing the materials for him and he just reads the stuff out loud, not knowing whether somethig is factually correct or not, covering several channels like this, posting something daily. Last time I challenged their claim that Jupiter is pulling Moon from the Earth's orbit and all I got was being slammed by another member in the discussion that what I want from them to provide a perfect content or something? This was just one of very basic errors anyone can get a red light flashing if they are into cosmology at least a little bit, like myself, not a professional. When I learned it was just a mill for audience, without accountability for factual information, I don't watch their content anymore.
The trouble with this spam is it is a subliminal manipulation of less educated and knowledgeable people (forming the majority of the world population unfortunately), so they keep believing conspiracy theories and don't want to be brought to reality. They love their fantastic world of being special, having a special knowledge, how governments want to kill us, aka QAnon stuff. This is not just an innocent spam, it can turn dangerous when it grabs enough people to turn over elections into someone like Trump.

I am sorry about your struggle but in the avalanche of words I got lost somewhere, not sure whether you criticise us or the sanctions system alone. I pretty much believe you understand most of us here wish you well and we have a little power to change how the sanctions see you. I can only guess the purpose of this flat rule for all Russians (I have a different word for those other RuSSians as you see). Could it be to prevent the oligarchs by-passing sanctions targetted at them? Could it be to prevent so called sleeping individuals to enter the west and start making mess? I am sure the officials could look at your case and exempt you, but there are myriads like you who want out. Is it physically possible to make exemptions for everyone and make sure they are genuine?
All in all, I understand you feel depressed, but give it time. This won't last forever. Claim asylum or something and wait until you can return home and start living a normal life, or when the sanctions are lifted. You have a great potential, but right now you are trapped. However, your life is not in danger, rockets are not flying around you destroying everything and killing civilians, you are free to talk what you please (Nort Koreans don't have that luxury and even now your fellow countrymen trapped inside RuSSia). Persist, the change will come.

Felon has become delusional. Too much money, too much self-esteem, never left the first spike in the Dunning-Kruger curve. Like how trucks never changed over decades... guess what, Sherlock, sharks kept their design for millions of years with minor changes, too. Maybe that is a hint the design has been working. Cybertruck is as a failure as his dreams about colonising Mars are. He has no knowledge about cars and customers, as he has none about the universe, and planets, laws of physics, and maybe anything at this point. His only expertise is to make stupid statements to fool idiots on his level and to prop up his shares values on the stock market, just to see them crash when the reality hits back. He is just a con artist, like many others out there.

The old lady tapping the parking sign was probably very keen adopting new technology, despite she didn't understand much of it, otherwise she would refuse participating in it. The fast pace of tech advances is too much for ageing brains. And people prefer to stick to familiar things. I stick to AI free tech, leaving Windows and switching to Linux, via using AI, to help me out. But for everyday use I want to be in control of my system, not the AI. I use web mostly via a browser, not apps, better control over it. I walk the street paying attention around me, not looking into the phone all the time. I still read books and play cds, tapes, some vinyls... heading to 50 in a couple years. And I cook, not wasting money on delivery apps and services. I do basic maths and percentages in the shops in my head to make sure I am getting a better deal. Use it or lose it: muscles as well as brain cells.

Just started with Linux myself on my spare laptop. It is a bit different, but not bad. The more people will use it, the more the developers will produce for Linux. And you'll end up with a more secure, stable system, without excessive telemetry, AI, recall and all those other shenanigans Microsoft imposes on you, thinking you think you have no other choice. Just recently I found out Windows was damaging my SSD for some excessive trimming (similar to defrag). I have a 3 years old PC running Win10 from new and disk analysis is giving me amber warning for reallocation parameter. And recently the CPU usage has gone up or something, the fan turning on and sometimes going like mad for a while, especially on starting up. Startups are reduced to a few necessary processes, so no idea why Win10 is behaving like this. Could it be AI? Something else Win decided to install with the latest updates without my consent? You never know.
Go Linux. That way your computer is really yours, not just rented from Microsoft. And thanks to Linux I can use my other old laptop that used to run abandoned Vista again! Nobody wantedmit for spare parts, I'll keep it, fixed it, and use it for entertanment.

Anyone heard of ready meals? My other half packs his portable fridge for a week of tramping, having something different every day, convenient, limited portion size, even goes running several times a week after parking the truck, is slim, healthy, happy. Unlike those eating at truck stops regularly, spending fortunes, eating fortunes of calories (just breakfast had some 1500kcal as I saw it), and must lay their stomachs on the steering wheels, with diabetic blindness looming over their driving licence.

The easiest way to lose weight is to not gain it in the first place. Don't buy those biscuits, don't look at that chocolate. Have a banana, apple, instead of a large bag of chips have a small lunch box one, it you must, make vegetables an important part of your meals and don't buy the fries FFS, soaked with oil. Have you had a proper lunch? Drink water, or fizzy water with lemon juice, you don't need any dessert, seriously. Swap sugary drinks for diet ones and don't compensate for saved calories with a milkshake equal to energy of another lunch. And lift your back and walk, walk, walk. Legs take half of your body length for a reason.
People alarm about people making shortcuts, side effects of Ozempic, temporary effect, I am glad somebody finally menions counterfeit injections satisfying such a mass demand, wreaking havoc with people's lives.

New Linuxer here. It is a learning curve. Getting a grip of it and learning to love the terminal. It wasn't such a shock for me to use the terminal, I had to troubleshoot Windoze in cmd and powershell before when I said to myself: well, I can as well switch to Linux if I have to do this to keep my machine working. Less bloatware, less use of CPU and energy I pay for, and with looming AI and constant surveillance, along endless threat of malware, I can as well go free. Still having Windoze on a usb as an OS for some applications like Teams, but hey, Linux also gave me my old Vista laptop back! New hard disk, new RAM, new hinge replacing a broken one, cleaned inside and thermal paste reapplied... it is now whispering quietly while running 64bit xfce. My all 3 machines will be primarily Linux, one LMDE (maybe both remaining ones) plus Ubuntu 22.04 on a usb, for SGD access, if Windoze was making fuss.
Just one problem I have with xfce: how do you improve sound quality? I increased the volume, following online guidance, sudo update and upgrade, but the sound is still flat and unpleasant. It is an old 1.6 ghz processor, asus f5rl series. I checked a few forums but somehow I cannot figure it out. Anyone has a tested and working solution, please?
