Racists are so obsessed with trannies. That's why they hate electric cars: no tranny of any kind, no skill to build.

last time i chose the free plan and when Epic went to update PUBG my connection locked up completely ...

10 mbit is fine if your PC isn't downloading anything in background

and even if you manually kill background processes it may not be enough for 4K porn ...

don't believe what Reddit says about Hilton hotels WiFi speed

they say the free and paid speed is the same or almost the same

they say it's like 5 mbit free and 10 mbit paid

but in my testing free is 10 mbit up and down and paid is 50 mbit up and down

IMO that extra speed is worth the asking price of $5 per day.

I'm not sure what to think of this, but ever since about 2014 the world's "thinking" has bifurcated. We have narrative bifurcation. On many issues there are two camps with extremely different beliefs. Sometimes I take one side or the other, and sometimes I think that the actual truth is a complex mixture and both camps are wrong, and yet most people fall into one of two camps holding views with little nuance which are severely bifurcated from each other. Some examples:

Trump is a criminal and Putin puppet -vs- Trump is being taken out by the system he threatens

Climate change is real and damaging -vs- Climate change isn't happening or is all for the good

Canola and other seed oils are very healthy -vs- Seed oils are toxic and very unhealthy

Plant based diets are very healty -vs- Carnivore diets are the healthiest

Russia is going to invade Europe next -vs- Russia won't go much further and only wants to disable Ukraine

I'm less interested in these particular topics as I am in the general pattern of having two very different sets of beliefs on so many issues.

I don't remember it being like this in the past.

I'm tempted to conjecture that some outside force is trying to divide the West ideologically in order to collapse it, and is taking advantage of our free speech to do it, and is laughing about it over vodka and baijiu.

There have been a lot of ideas about dealing with unwanted content on nostr. I'm going to try to break it down in this post

Part 1: Keeping unwanted content off of relays

This is done for two reasons. The first is legal: you could get in trouble by hosting illegal content. The second is to try to curate a set of content that is within some bounds of acceptability: perhaps flooding is not allowed, or spam posts about shitcoins are not allowed, maybe even mean posts are not allowed. It's up to the relay operator.

Early on people talked about Proof of Work, and this was meant to limit how fast a flooder or spammer could saturate your relay with junk, and therefore how much junk a moderator would have to look through. I don't know of any relay that went in this direction, and I don't think it's a great solution.

Then we saw paid relays. Paid relays only accept posts from their customers. This is a very effective solution. Customers can still break the rules but you have a smaller set of people that can do that and there are consequences.

But the downside with paid relays is if they cannot be used as inboxes. Ideally a relay would also work as an inbox for notes tagging any of your paid customers. Unfortunately in that case those responses can be floods, spam, or other unwanted content. So the same problem comes back around.

In the end, I think in order to support people getting messages from anybody, relays would need to inspect content and make judgements about it. And this is going to need to be automated. Email servers almost all do spam filtering using bayesian filters. We probably should be doing the same or similar. Maybe AI can play a role.

Part 2: Keeping unwanted content out of your own feed

The first thing clients can do is leverage Part 1. That is, use relays that do some of the work for you. Clients can avoid pulling global feed posts or thread replies from relays that aren't known to be managing content to the user's satisfaction.

The primary tool here is mute. Personal mute lists are a must. The downsides are that (1) they are post-facto, and (2) they cannot control for harassment from people who really want to harass and just keep making up new keypairs to repeat the harassment.

We can fix the post-facto issue to a large degree by having community mute lists (some people may call this 'blocking' but I don't want to confuse with the Twitter feature that doesn't allow a person to see your posts). This is where people of like mind subscribe to and manage a community mute list, and so when someone is muted, everybody benefits from it, meaning most people in that community won't see the offending post.

That doesn't solve problem 2, however. For that we have even more restrictive solutions

The first is the web-of-trust model. You only accept posts from people that you follow or who they follow. This is highly effective, but may silence posts you would have wanted to see.

The second is even more restrictive: private group conversations.

Finally I will mention two additional related features: thread dismissal and content warnings.

That's it. GM nostr!

the more relevant issue is THERMIC EFFECT.

that is to say calorie value food is measured by BURNING it not by measuring how much of that energy can be converted into fat for storage ( since that would vary by individual )

so diesel fuel for example has 11 calories / gram but you would probably just die if you drank it

on other hand protein in food has to be converted into other things before it can be stored as fat so the actual amount of energy stored is less than what is measured by burning food, and the difference is instead lost as heat

this is called thermic effect of food and is the reason why it's fairly hard to get fat by eating pure protein ...

most calories in meat are in fat, not protein ...

and effective calories in things like lettuce are NEGATIVE because it takes more energy to process such food than the amount of energy that can be extracted from it ...

Many people know carbs are 4 kCal/g, protein is 4 kCal/g, and fat is 9 kCal/g.

Some people know that alcohol is 7 kCal/g

How many people know the energy content of citric acid? Citric acid is right there in the Krebs cycle (ATP cycle) so it must have energy content.

It is 2.5 kCal/g. Never listed on nutrition labels.

Nostrudel needs to have better UI Experience. It's close. It is one of the only clientns does does Global well but it's too much work to get there and you have to do many clicks to get back to GLobal view
