> There seems to be little doubt that religion, faith, spirituality or rite can have benefits.

Doubt among who? Religious congregations?

According to who? Citation needed.

I switched Chrome to use secure DNS with neither Croogle or CloudBlare (used OpenDNS) and now it works fine. Fuck the megacorps.

I can't resolve with either 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1.

Well those same media companies pushed to get paid by Facebook for their own posts (they they post) on Facebook's platform -- so it seems right they should take responsibility for them.

> In a network game, if player 1 opens a door, you want player 2 to see the door opening IFF they are within the "network relevancy" radius of the door.

This is all kind of wrong. You want players to see the door opening IFF they can see the door at all. If incompetent developers can't achieve that and come up with some other solution and a lame excuse to go with it, that does not change the desire from a player perspective.

We are making more. Lots more. But we are buying even more than that.

Its called demand > supply.

I don't think strict beliefs and Rome were really a thing until a certain Eastern religion took over.

tus89 — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 02:56:30 +0000

The goal is for the train to NOT be centered when cornering, the cones allow for this. If the train was centered during corning, or simply with non-coned wheels, the outer wheel would necessarily slip.

You would be amazed how much improved things are with Javascript switched off (which Chrome allows you to easily do, with exceptions). Give it a try.

New comment by tus89 in "The humble egg is an example of what’s wrong with nutrition studies (2019)"

Do researchers even get taught about the difference between correlation and causation? People who eat large numbers of eggs probably also eat large amounts of bacon (compared to others), and bacon as a highly cured meat with high levels of salt and other toxic compounds, could easily explain the results. And then there is this:

> But on the other hand, the study tracked participants’ health outcomes over periods ranging from 13 to more than 30 years, and participants were queried about their diet only once, at the beginning of the study.

Wow I don't know what to say.
