What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

[xtrafrood]

I just ate some really hot, hot sauce and my lips feel a little swollen and my mouths so hot it's kinda numb.

... I actually really like that feeling where your mouth is humming from hotness. Feels good on the lips 

Great for mild asthma attacks too

100% veggies , cures asthma.. !!

I'm pretty sure we've talked about this before. My maternal guardian disapproves of your findings...

Finally bought a GPU (1050ti) and on testing the memory seems happy at +1000 (the max any tweaking app will allow ) but even at stock clocks/voltage it's throttling due to power usage 90% of the time in Furmark.  How am I supposed to properly test, let along tweak, this card?  First thought was add a 6 pin, but it's £12 shipping on a £0.63 a connector so it's cheaper to buy a dead old card on eBay!

If the solder in the empty holes was playing nice that's what I'd have done but instead I'm going to stand out in the sun painting, just waiting for sunscreen to take effect so I don't get cremated.

Just had a shower, 'cleaning' took hours and involved more sanding so painting will have to wait for tomorrow.

test with max card fan setting on msi afterburner and with the computer case open

Haha, it's fanless!  Currently in the case with a silent 120mm fan blowing at it from far below (temporary solution pending a custom case built around it) and it's not breaking 50°C.

Afterburner you say?  I'll give it a go...

Add a 6 pin to a 1050ti?

Yup, MSI does one that looks near identical from the back around the connector so there's a BIOS available, it quite rightly complains about no power connected.  The grounds are connected and the edge two 12v pins are live so it's just a question of if the sensing works.  Only one way to find out!

I don't think it pulls near 75 in games.

But alot of motherboards have really budget Mosfets, so they get worn out if the GPU pulls too much from the PCIE slot.

Hmm...  I guess most cards are either useless or have pcie connectors to avoid this.  Once again I've picked the weird option which invites trouble, and instantly modded it to void the warrany and will complain when the worst happens... Will I ever learn?

When you measure oxidative stress on the lungs.  The result is significantly improves when someone increases the intake of Fruits and Vegetables.

This is because the lining of our airway relies on antioxidants both produce by our body AND acquired through diet.

The result is FURTHER improved when someone does fruits and veggies + REMOVE animal products.

This is because animal foods INCREASE oxidative stress..


Asthma sufferers typically have very low levels of carotenoids compared to healthy individuals without asthma.


They've tested altering asthma sufferer's intake of fruits/veggies to 7 servings a day from 3,  resulted in a 50% reduced relapse of asthma attacks.



Of course these people still ate the standard western diet, apart from the additional 4 servings extra of fruit.



They haven't gone as far as 100% Veggie.. 



But one could imagine,  if a mere 4 servings can cut asthma attacks in HALF..  well.. the solution is Obvious..

Their job is to sign you up for anything-at-all which falls on their desk.

I'm a QA engineer... Some ignoramus from Aflac thought I'd make a "great fit" for a position they were hiring as an insurance claims representative with starting pay at $12/hour.  )

On the flipside, I once got a recruiter asking me about a position which required 10+ years experience. I was still in middle school 10 years ago. 

[rich1051414]

Yeah, I was lucky I stumbled into a profession where I can be independent. There's a lot of very critical professions that unfortunately also happen to be supportive roles, incapable of independent usefulness. No one would argue that a nurse is a useless profession, but it is also a supportive role and a skill set that can't really be independently exploited(Just an example, not implying your a nurse).

I'm a developer, and so far, I haven't had a problem keeping work without actually working for someone. I don't know how long that will last, but I will exploit it as long as I can. I never liked working for the man

$12 an hour is absolutely insulting. When I was in college, I was making more than that as a sous chef. I do remember getting an offer of a 100k a year salary managing the kitchen on a cruise ship, and I almost took it. My life would have turned out so different. xD

[Blaise170]

I try not to take it personally because I know that most of the recruiter emails I get are just automated spam that some software generated for them. I've only worked with one recruiter who was actually any good, all of the others have been completely useless.

You should'a taken the cruise ship job..

I noticed they're always staffed by skinny european/russian girls from the rural areas, not poor, but blue collar..  They're all -husband hunting- so to speak...

I met an auctioneer sometime between cruise 7 or 9,   he told me that he jumps ship to ship, and has had at least 14 different relationships over the course of 8 years.

Dang.. !!

I'd actually look into it, if I didn't get sick of boats..

Yeah, I think this is how they recruit for the jobs. Its difficult to find people willing to drop everything for a half a year with only a couple months in a stable location at a time. However, rural areas have good workers who are desperate enough to be up for it. I have always been more of a home body, so I don't think I would of liked it much, but maybe I would have, who knows.

Tp4 has a great emulation layer which facilitates human-human interactions.

It works well and Tp4 am general very amiable/approachable AFK.

However, Tp4's deeper core data /programs are very different.


For example::

Updating to more accurate and precise energy intake procedures succeeds current primary behavior regardless of prior dependencies.

Tp4 now knowing Animal-proteins consumption causes cancer/heartdisease/diabetes/dementia/stroke will immediately discontinue all such practices, REGARDLESS of the fact that Tp4 loves Popeyes Fried Chicken..


This ability to Update, Purge, and Reinitialize is a program function which operate on Elevated Priority higher than Sensory and Output stages.


However,  in more common individuals, they allow their Sensory loop to wholly dictate action, entering into a Feed back state, which in the long term dramatically reduces total cycle count.



Tp4 am functioning most properly !! It is others who are faulting.

Mmm.. Well there it is, you are a human befuddled by a pleasure dominant feedback loop.

It's not a Wrong or Right situation..  Only, from the perspective of the Objective 3rd party observer, it is terribly sub-optimal..


Animal protein damage is progressive and systemic , it's not JUST the heart attack at the end. You are crippling your vascular tree, including the microvasculature of the brain.

If you eat animal products, you are experiencing ongoing micro-strokes in the brain. They show up as tiny white spots (MRI).  Eventually it becomes dementia/ or Alzheimer.

But in the near term, you are more depressed, you may experience mind fog, headaches, lack of self control, reduced academic/occupational performance.

These small detriments add up.


Taking avoidable damage, that's how we classify a character fault/shortcoming..

Things taste good to us to encourage us to eat more of them. That's why we have a pleasure system, to encourage a particular evolutionary-beneficent behaviour. This admittedly gets broken when there is too much of the Good Stuff available, but blocking off all animal products because we have too much of them is a heavy handed solution. The answer to "too much meat" is not "no meat!", it's "easy on the meat there, have a salad, fatty boombalatty". There is a space between 100% and 0%, typical of an American to only occupy the extremes of a position.

In other news, UV light causes cancer, therefore we must all live underground.

You are correct in that there ARE details to Veggieism.

Things taste good:

Meat does not taste good to humans
Just as Carrots do not taste good to a cat.

To humans, put a raw piece of meat in their mouth, it doesn't have a taste, it only smells a little fishy.

Humans go out of their way to season / cook meat into something resembling plants.

True Carnivores DESIRE the Slimy/Wet/RAWness of flesh with NO additional seasoning or sauce.

Humans can be Conditioned into eating that way, but it is by no means Natural.. No baby humans will eat raw flesh , but they will reach for and put an apple in their mouths.

We are not instinctive carnivores,  a hungry baby wolf will eat a rabbit, a hungry human baby will play with the rabbit..




Pleasure System:

We do what gives us pleasure.  Eating in general gives us pleasure. Fats in meat are detectable by the human tongue, and that gives a sense of pleasure.

At some point, when food was scarce, one can argue that any animal should eat ANYTHING they can stomach.

Humans may have acquired this capacity to eat meat after intellectual control over fire.

But our Base digestive system is thoroughly made for plant based. It is extremely dissimilar to the digestive track of Carnivores and True Omnivores (bears).


The SOLUTION:

Is to first ask the question.

Do we need Meat.. 

The meat industry says you do.. but again google beyond the first few pages of industry fud, you'll see that We DO NOT NEED meat.

All proteins are made in nature BY plants. Animals only decouple and recouple protein, they do NOT produce any protein.

Carnivores derive protein through a middleman (other animals)

Herbivores (Humans) can eat Direct-From-Source. This is not only efficient, it is also the most healthy option. It matches our Equipment.
