It took me a minute too but on the fast you can see some blocky artifacting by the elbow and a few spots elsewhere like curtain upper left.

I say bing it just to go against the grain. There was a time when people thought twice upon hearing it but now most people inherently understand the phrase which is mildly amusing.

And when the cats get out of control introduce a bear? Or is it an alligator? ;)

Iodized salt use is decreasing in the US as well. I take a lot of supplements and vitamins and I rarely see iodine as an ingredient so I have placed iodized salt next to my sea salt as I know I do not get enough iodine rich foods in my diet. It's easy to forget about and while I may take things like St Johns and Turmeric daily, I can live without them, iodine not so much.

They did this strategy with stock, maybe they still do. You got a random share that could potentially be Microsoft or Apple or what not and you could earn more via successful referrals. I ended up getting some random pharmaceutical company whose name eludes me but it hovered around $5 the entire time I had it. I think it peaked at 8-9 once even, it was quite exciting for a neophyte like I was then.

I still have a physical subscription and I will say they do a good job offering content that you can read and it doesn't already feel terribly dated. Yes, often the topics are stuff you'll have browsed over in the last 30 days but the articles are still well written and worth a read (provided you haven't spent too much time on wired.com (I don't)). But the magazine feels so lite now, almost like a special physical edition of their website. The photo of Grimes on the cover recently was nice, maybe they could lean in a bit more on pictorial and photographic content, if it's days aren't already numbered.

For me Premium is worth it for ytmusic alone. I have discovered so much new music it's been a new personal golden age, like I'm in high school again. I think its due to at least in part its ability to integrate my many years of YouTube history and playlists. Now to be fair I have read others saying the exact opposite in terms of music discovery, all I know is I find a great new song or album at least once a week and that is something I could never say about Amazon, Tidal or Spotify.

I don't agree with that. It's at its root a cultural issue. People need a realignment of values so that being outside or amongst others is a better use of their time than the status quo. From that perhaps a rebalance of work and life will result but I don't think starting there would move the needle much.

Agreed. It never hurts to do a bit of research, we should seek to understand all that we hold to be true from the pages of history and perhaps spend a moment (or an evening) doing bit of reading on various topics. Trust but verify I suppose.

That would be great, I don't care for reddit results in my web searches to begin with. Lots of answers can be found in reddit, there is no denying that, but it's also likely one of the most manipulated sources of information on the web this side of Google itself.

I can't comment much on the information you've provided. The only philosophy I've really studied to any degree is aesthetics but a quick glance at a few of the pages was quite engaging. I will definitely be revisiting it later, thanks for sharing.

I recall reading about computational biology some years ago using cellular machinery and DNA to make programmable living (micro) machines.

They used to be much better, it's not your imagination. When I was a kid I read every issue of sciam and new scientist I could get my hands on and ya know maybe their magazine is still alright but nearly anytime I end on their website these days I regret it.
