    You started mentioning Russia. That’s whataboutism.

    You should probably make an effort to learn what whataboutism actually is before attempting to call it out. How can one ever make any argument without mentioning the valid points and supporting reasoning for the argument?

    Claiming that the EU provides strength to oppose Russia is not an example of whataboutism. Whataboutism involves using a counter-accusation to defend against an accusation. eg: “You’re accusing me of stealing a cookie from the cookie jar? What about the time that you ate my last yogurt cup in the fridge!”





  • Nah, my phone has been in grayscale for over 3 years now. I really don’t miss color and it is very rare that I need to turn color on temporarily for something. Most all UIs and websites are designed with the colorblind in mind, so everything remains perfectly functional, and when looking at images or photos, my brain just “fills in” the color and I often completely forget that the colors aren’t there.

    The difference is actually stark and surprisingly noticeable, for example opening my music app and seeing the gallery of all the colorful and cool album art would cause my brain to light up, and now, just nothing. A bright red notification badge doesn’t command my attention and give me a dopamine hit anymore. App UIs that are designed to be addictive don’t have the same impact.

    You can knock it and it’s fine if you don’t think the benefits are worth it, but I definitely prefer it. I’m more interested in what is outside of my phone when the things inside my phone are grey and dull.




  • It’s beef, so the recommendation is 145 for 3 minutes, not 165.

    And also, 165 is a guarantee that meat is fully pasteurized without needing to know any other information. It is a simplified recommendation that is designed to be easy to follow and hard to mess up: if you check the temperature and you see 165, you know it is safe. However, 2 pieces of information (temperature + amount of time at that temperature) allows for a pasteurization curve. Here is the pasteurization curve for poultry:

    This shows that poultry that maintained 160 for 12 seconds is equally as safe as poultry that was 165 for any amount of time. Same for poultry that was 155 for 48 seconds, 150 for 2 minutes and 48 seconds, 145 for 9.2 minutes, or 140 for 27.5 minutes.







  • True, however TLS does not encrypt the hostname/IP address of the servers that you are connecting to, so your ISP can monitor the servers you visit. A VPN provides an encrypted tunnel for your traffic, so your ISP can only see that you are communicating with the VPN server. However, the VPN provider can see the hostname/IP of the servers in order to forward the traffic to its destination.

    Ideally the VPN provider does not monitor or keep logs of the connections, but this is not always the case. A VPN offers privacy from the ISP or from other clients connected to the local network when using public WiFi.

    It can also provide some level of anonymity, because the server that you are connecting to will only be able to see the VPN IP address connecting to them, instead of your home IP address. It is possible to still be identified by other means besides your IP address, like using cookies or browser fingerpinting.
