NL was recommended to me as well as an alternative to Switzerland. They have a bit better speeds to me but otherwise I’d like to hear of any rebuttals from those with more knowledge.

It’s like picking an airline. No matter who you choose somebody has a story of how they’re varying degrees of awful.

I’m on Proton. I disliked when that one guy made that social post comment about how Republicans are easier to deal with. I’m not offended enough to roll the dice with another provider only to later discover they’re literal nazis, their founder has Epstein connections or they discriminate against trans people.

(Which is to say, if you want to switch from Mullvad I get it.)

If Jellyfin can fill most Plex features for most people, maybe it’s not that they need to charge money to survive. Maybe it’s that their product value proposition has eroded.

I don’t think the current definitions are particularly useful. I’m not an expert but I think there’s a marked difference between an emulsifier that interacts with your gut lining and a more benign additives.

IMO the food industry has been unable to agree on a more useful definition of UPF because of corporate interests.

I would love to make things like pasta and bread and all manners of cookies and muffins from scratch. I do these things when time permits (never pasta) but to do them all competes with chores, home improvements, showing up for my kid, etc.

Everybody tells you that UPF is bad and you should not eat too much or none at all. I’m on board. But in what timeline do I find the extra prep time to make every family meal and snack from scratch?

The science is telling us it’s bad. But we need affordable solutions at the societal level to give people who want to banish UPF a fighting chance.

“Stop. Don’t. Come back.”

Tangerine Palpatine has been a thing for many a month.

All that’s left is the special ring that lets us sick the animal kingdom on the billionaires.

Good to see the message is getting to hockey fans, too.

The risk of intelligence coming from LLMs is zero, let alone superintelligence.

The danger isn’t some computer mind deciding to destroy us upon its birth. It’s the everyday harm CEOs are doing to the working class and future students by using AI as an excuse to cut jobs and force paid products into education and the hands of young workers at the expense of their own skill development.

Nobody up here is taking these threats seriously anymore. Manufacturing in the US would immediately crater. So many Americans would lose jobs, and thanks to their bullying isolationism nobody is lining up to replace Canada as a viable trading partner.

Having no free trade with the US would suck but it’s temporary. Being a vassal state or getting annexed is permanent.

Maintain current elbow position.

In hockey you keep your elbows up to guard against getting knocked around when the game gets rough.

It’s going to be another good day to buy on the stock market Monday. At this rate I’ll be about to retire a few years early.

Yep, trust the Brexit guy. That’s going just fine.

Epstein crimes and US expansionism are two separate very bad things. It’s a “yes and” not a “yes but”.

Hey - it’s nice to hear that more rank and file EU folks think about Canada. It does feel like we’ve been going it alone for most of the last year. Any voice of support is always appreciated.

Attacking the maple syrup cartels would be starting the game on nightmare difficulty.

The real WMDs

IIRC she had a cancer scare and put the brakes on her career to heal. I don’t care for Hollywood elite but as a human everybody should be allowed to focus on health.
