Win11 didn’t even know what to do with my Intel (of all brands) WiFi chip.

Win10, Kubuntu, and mint all detected it without needing to download and transfer the driver with my phone in order to start the updates after install.

That’s sorta my point.

IIRC, the 2 minutes is the bare-minimum, and intended for someone with perfect teeth and technique. Now most people (ones who aren’t perfect) use the toothbrush, their common reaction to the timer completing is they are done brushing. They don’t realize that they were likely rushing to keep up with the timer and ignoring different plaque hot spots.

I personally have a couple crowns that my previous dentist screwed up on and mis-sized the base, leaving a ledge where food and plaque get stuck in. If I don’t spend extra time around them, tatar will form like a madman. (Same issue with my lingual bar before I had it removed)

I’m alright with a timer to help keep rhythm and let you know when you hit the minimum, but don’t make it integral to using the damn brush and turn it off when it hits zero.

I’m already annoyed at the prevalence of that 2-min timer on every powered toothbrush.

Teach her how she can insert “apparently” into every statement.

I remember when those things first came out and used a headphone jack so you could plug in your CD player. (those were the days…)

Like a cockroach?

I don’t disagree on the symantics of the term. I’m just alluding to the fact that selective breeding/hybridizing foodstuffs can be similar to genetic modification from an outside perspective.

There are a lot of people that will completely discredit anything that that says It has been genetically modified. What they don’t necessarily realize is that GMOs and selective breeding/hybridizing can both carry similar, if not the same risks/benefits. You can make your “all-natural” seeds (for instance) sterile. They can both carry similar risks for allergies. They can also both have the same benefits of of disease/pest/drought tolerance. (see the Great French Wine Blight)

It’s also not good, not being able to feed your people without imports.

Yeah. Those were just two examples that came to mind. Tangelos or any “seedless” produce are some other ones.

I see GMOs as just another form of agricultural development to decrease issues/problems with production. (like splicing in a gene that makes them less appetizing to pests so you would use less pesticides or one that makes them more drought tolerant)

One of the largest drawbacks to GMOs though (aside from the capitalistic approach of introducing sterility) is due to allergies. This could however be easily mitigated by listing where each gene comes from so people who may be allergic to the gene of the donor would know if it should be avoided.

Alkaline water = artificial spring water

My PCP is a DO. It works for me as my body is still relatively young. (late 30’s) I also don’t have many issues that would require more intensive/specialized treatment that I don’t already have a specialist for.

Isn’t there a limit of how much protein your body can absorb in a meal and the rest just gets metabolized/excreted.

Aren’t bananas and corn both genetically modified, at least in the analog sense? Both wouldn’t exist without humans altering them.

They are just allergic reactions waiting to happen.

Tea tree oil was the only one I think to actually have merit, but I imagine we’ve been able to reproduce the beneficial part of in a lab. (with minimal risk of triggering allergies)

I agree, but with one caveat.

Fully analog tube amps do definitely produce a warmer/richer sound with less complicated things to go wrong. Artists like them because they are reliable, generally user serviceable, (usually just need to replace bad/old tubes) and makes each recording sound relatively unique.

The thing is, is that it really only works during production. Unless being cut direct to a master record, the sound will get saved in a digital format to produce the user-facing media, which can include digital-source vinyls.

Those products marketed to audiophiles try to take the digitally recorded/archived products to “try” making it sound like the original.

Maybe. Though, there are a lot of solutions to dampen noise while using hard flooring.

(I also know plenty of apartments/condos in my area that use both or just hard flooring in my area)

Hotels not using carpet in their rooms.

They’re using full disk encryption, which won’t let any part of it be read (even its partition table to boot the OS) until a password is entered. A system using FDE will go straight from POST to a password prompt.

A lot of people like FDE as it makes the encryption completely invisible to the OS and would normally have zero compatibility issues be problem-free.

And I thought I was the only one with that habit

KVM trays are generally only used for terminal/CLI access where widescreen doesn’t make much sense.

Widescreen ones are available (though not as plentiful) when the user is regularly using GUIs on it.
