Why TED talks suck now
  • I like Royal Society videos better nowadays. More science-y but less linkedin hype.

  • Fashion is cyclical

  • Banksy’s Well Hung Lover to be sold with Bristol building it is painted on
  • Somewhat reminiscent of a Russian photo meme, where a lover hangs from a balcony and the husband looking out with a gun.

  • What discussion you know you are on the wrong side of?
  • I'm all in on lab grown protein

  • Nowhere else on Earth are so many children fleeing war
  • Everywhere in the world: there's an immigrant crisis we need to address.

    Meanwhile not doing anything about war, exploitation and inequality.

  • How do you make your favorite sandwich?
  • Club sandwich with sliced chicken breast, avocado and tomato, on corn bread spread with cream cheese and pesto.

    Also Amsterdam Ox sausage (ground beef with spices) with chopped onion, pickles and boiled egg, with remoulade and black pepper.

  • What ability from people did you wish you had?
  • Sleep instantly and without interruption

  • US oil firms unlikely to go 'drill, baby, drill' under Trump, says Exxon executive
  • Leopard spokesman says faces will not be eaten.

  • Increasing testosterone levels does not increase sex drive
  • It's self reported. N=41 and even in the self reporting they give that men that were in a relationship had few interactions with people of the opposite sex.

    Twenty-seven participants reported being single at the start of the study

    Given the rarity of DSI occurrences in partnered men, and the expectation that mate attraction efforts are more important for single men, we tested whether DSI moderated the relationship between testosterone and courtship efforts specifically in single participants.

    So only the data of 27 persons were relevant for most of the conclusions of the study.

    It was a study of one month:

    we collected daily measures of salivary testosterone for one month (31 days), as well as self-reports of sexual desire and other states or events relevant to mating effort on days corresponding to the hormone measures.

    It looks like not terribly significant a study. Don't read too much into it.

    I wonder why the FBI haven't updated the case yet...

    After boots on the ground comment, French PM doubles down: 'Putins troops are already in our country', pointing at Le Pen

    www.lemonde.fr French PM suggests 'Putin's troops are already in our country,' pointing at Le Pen

    Heated exchanges broke out in Parliament between Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and far-right leader Marine Le Pen, following Emmanuel Macron's statement that sending Western troops to Ukraine should 'not be ruled out.'

    French PM suggests 'Putin's troops are already in our country,' pointing at Le Pen

    >By raising for the first time the idea of sending troops to Ukraine, the French leader "has taken a further step toward belligerence," blasted his rival Marine Le Pen, of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) party. She accused him of "posing an existential risk to 70 million French people, and more particularly to our armed forces already deployed in Eastern Europe."

    >"You've been waiting for the first opportunity to remind people of your true loyalties [and] "show your true colors," retorted Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who had left the Paris Agricultural Show to attend the verbal joust. "When you read the investigations that are being carried out, [such as one published by the Washington Post on December 30, showing the RN's persistent links with Moscow], you have to wonder whether Vladimir Putin's troops aren't already in our country," he continued. "I'm talking about you and your troops, Ms. Le Pen."

    Watching sports is better without live spectators ('fans')

    During Covid lots of sorts were broadcast without any spectators. I found that it increased my viewing pleasure. No screaming crowds trying to make the most noise with drums (soccer), no altercations, no people throwing things or making annoying noices (MMA), no crazy people next to the road pushing cyclists.

    Just the people doing the sport, I can hear them shout, swear and get punched. I can see bike racing without fear a crazy fan will jump in front of the pack for a photo for their grandma.

    I don't need an audience to get hyped or to distract everybody with jeers and racist shouting. For me the fans are the worst part of the sport. I don't enjoy watching them, I want to see the athletes doing their thing.

    nos.nl VN-woonrapporteur kraakt woonbeleid: 'Wooncrisis al decennia in de maak'

    De speciale VN-rapporteur voor adequate huisvesting was de afgelopen dagen in Nederland. Hij zegt dat de problemen niet komen door migratie.

    VN-woonrapporteur kraakt woonbeleid: 'Wooncrisis al decennia in de maak'

    Ik denk een belangrijk rapport wat duidelijk een vinger wijst naar het structurele probleem. Helaas wat weinig media-aandacht, voor een topic dat zo belangrijk is.

    A very weird problem with a link that turns nsfw for no explainable reason

    lemmy.world Let's talk emulators this week. - Lemmy.world

    Previously on Lemmy: - Buying Guide: Low End [https://lemmy.world/post/4846313] - Buying Guide: Midrange [https://lemmy.world/post/4021671] - Buying Guide: High End [https://lemmy.world/post/5720634] Past Discussions: - iPhones [https://lemmy.world/post/3666684] - Repairability/Build Quality [https:...

    In this thread, the second link 'midrange models' somehow links to a NSFW 'hot wife in kitchen' link.

    Look at my posts in the comment chain. I first thought it was an error by the poster, but the source is legit, but even when I copy the source connect still servers me the hot wife in the kitchen.

    Now I found this only amusing and strange, but it could really do harm for people in a work environment.

    Maybe some more people can chime in to see if the error is reproducible?

    Vulkan vs Dx11

    Hi there! Just seeing if other people have the same issue that I have.

    My i7 Geforce gtx 1650 laptop does play the game, but it feels a bit slow whenin dx11, a bit like theres a delay, or if my chars are moving through denser air.

    If I switch to Vulkan the performance is way better and way more snappy. Only thing is that it crashes every time I get into a dialog.

    So I am wondering if others do have the same problem, or have some insights. TYVM!
