<p>For what it's worth<p>>Results:<p>>We synthesized data from 137 systematic reviews (>30,000 participants). Compared with no exercise (control), RT significantly improved muscle strength, size (hypertrophy), power, endurance, contraction velocity, gait speed, balance, and multiple physical function outcomes. Few RT prescription (RTx) variables affected primary adaptations. However, voluntary strength was enhanced by lifting heavier loads (≥80% one-repetition maximum), through a complete range of motion, for 2–3 sets, at the beginning of training sessions, and ≥2 sessions/wk. Muscle hypertrophy was enhanced by higher volumes (≥10 sets/wk) and eccentric overload. Power was enhanced by moderate loads (30%–70% one-repetition maximum), low-to-moderate volume (≤24 repetitions⋅sets), Olympic-style weightlifting, and power RT (fast concentric phase). Power RT enhanced physical function. Training to momentary muscle fatigue, equipment type, exercise complexity, set structure, time under tension, blood flow restriction, and periodization did not consistently impact training outcomes.<p>>Conclusions:<p>>Healthy adults should perform progressive RT, with variable prescription consistent with our findings, to improve muscle function, size, and physical performance. Muscle strength, hypertrophy, power, and certain components of physical function can be enhanced by manipulating the RT variables highlighted.</p>

<p>But you see people talking about the mini almost every time there's a discussion about iPhones (or phones in general). Surely it would have been worth it to Apple to keep the mini alive just to avoid the negative press and pretend they care about their consumers beyond making a profit. But I guess it really isn't possible to do things like that in a publicly traded company.</p>

<p>You don't need a sim card to make accounts for a phone in the first place. Not sure how, but on android devices they let you make an account without giving them a phone number. Probably because even Google realizes how bad gating application installs on new phones on having a phone number would look.<p>The problem is that even if you have separate google accounts on each android device, Google can still track you by looking at your contacts.</p>

<p>It's fine? Might be worse than Windows, but unless you spend long times away from a charger, it doesn't really matter, does it?<p>To answer your question, I might probably get around 5-6 hours of video playback (local files, not streamed) on my generic cheap x86 machine from 3 years ago from full to empty, but I don't have the windows equivalent numbers, and I limit charging at 80% and charge at 40% anyway so I don't actually go through a full charge cycle.</p>

<p>Gnome already has a clipboard manager (maybe it's <a href="https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicator/" rel="nofollow">https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicat...</a>, but can't be sure if that's what I'm using since I'm not at home) which can be bound to super+v.<p>It's better than the Windows equivalent because<p>1. It loads instantly rather than taking 2-3 seconds like the Windows version, which is super annoying<p>2. It retains the clipboard history across reboots, unlike the Windows version<p>3. It doesn't have a limit to the number of pastes saved, unlike Windows which has a limit of I think 10, so you can find entries from weeks ago<p>4. It's searchable<p>5. There's an incognito mode for when you need to copy and paste a bunch of things which you won't need later, or when you're copying sensitive information<p>Big fan, one of those things that are such a UX improvement that make using Windows feel like a hassle.</p>

<p>Yes, I meant building it in by default won't remove any deniability, because it will just be a content blocker where users can load their own filters (with maybe some adblocking filters suggested by default).</p>
