You could perhaps point to research that supports your claim? Would be better than simply talking down to people who disagree with you.

For instance:

Obesity is mainly caused by imbalanced energy intake and expenditure due to a sedentary lifestyle coupled with overnutrition. - Source

The obesity epidemic has been fueled in large part by increased energy from greater availability of highly rewarding and energy-dense food. Diet and various social, economic, and environmental factors related to food supply have a significant effect on patient’s ability to achieve the balance. - Source

Most researchers also agree that obesity is an “acquired” disease that, heavily depends on lifestyle factors (i.e., personal choices), such as low rates of physical activity and chronic overeating, despite its genetic and epigenetic influences. - Source

Yeah, when I say "director's cut" what I really mean is a LoTR-style extended version which includes all the additional scenes that had to be cut to fit within the confines of a theatrical release.

In the case of Dune Two, I'd argue this would actually resolve a lot of pacing issues instead of introducing them. Many parts of this movie felt overly rushed.

Good for them.

Right, but if you ask "to which religion does the average Zionist in the US belong?", most people are going to say Judaism instead of Christianity.

I'd say many people don't even know that Christian Zionists are even a thing.

Agreed, and additional thanks to you, @sunaurus, for all your ongoing contributions to the project and for being such a good instance admin as well.

This. It feels like what the new gnome-console ought to have been.

Sure, I agree but eating habits have little to do with weight.

I'm sorry, but there is a very great disparity between this statement and reality.

What's the benefit in replacing one extension with another in order to achieve the same thing? Real progress would be an option in the default Gnome shell to show the background apps directly in the top bar without any additional clicks.

LDAC suffers from high latency and very steep degradation once the strength of the Bluetooth connection drops even slightly. In some case it can drop to around 330kbps, which makes it no better than SBC unless you can guarantee a rock solid connection at all times.

It's interesting primarily since there has been lot of controversy surrounding the claims that widespread rape and sexual assault were carried out by Hamas during the October 7th attacks, mostly due to an incendiary article that appeared in the NYT and was widely repeated across international media.

Since the release of that article, there has been quite a bit of pushback, even from certain journalists in the NYT itself, centred around the fact that the author of the article was a young Jewish filmmaker with ties to the Israeli military who was not even a professional journalist. (You can read more about the problems with that piece here.)

In any case, there has been a lot of back and forth over whether these stories of mass rape were credible, so this lastest UN investigation helps to clarity the extent to which sexual violence may have occured.

Not all instant is bad, although the couple of brands I've found that actually taste good are not available in the US, sadly.

Urgh, Nescafe is gross. I can't abide the aftertaste.
