  • Low-carb and low-fat diets associated with lower heart disease risk if rich in high-quality, plant-based foods, low in animal products

    Jump

  • Yeah, there's a lot to good EVOO.

    Here i wouldnt really trust anything I can get from the supermarket, and certainly not anything imported.

    The health benefits diminish significantly over time.

    So the "best before" date might be 2 years, but if you want the health benefits then every month counts. Also the time spent in contact with air.

  • this is ours:

    you're right, it's bullshit marketing and it sucks. The front of the tin does say "tuna in olive oil blend", in fairness. All the other brands are the same / similar.

    If it was real, pure olive oil it would cost more.

    I just buy the stuff packed in spring water, drain it, and pour olive oil over it.

  • I mean yeah, but most people will find a low-carb low-fat diet to be very unfulfilling and even depressing in a fairly short period of time.

    I suspect most people could easily do it for a week or so with the right support, but as a long term health intervention I'd say 1 in 100 people can adhere to this kind of regime.

  • Are you joking?

    How do you prep this?

    I really, really struggle to decide what to eat. I think it's a neurodivergence thing. I've often wished there was some bullshit soylent kind of thing I could consume instead of food.

  • The tuna in EVOO you buy at the supermarket here is lame. If you look at the ingredients it's just cheap vegetable oil with a dash of EVOO, and you can bet it's not the good EVOO.

  • What was your first relationship like?

    Jump

  • Yeah this is pretty much my first relationship.

    Holy shit what a mess.

  • What was your first relationship like?

  • Two years ago, when I was 16, my dad tried to set me up with one of his business partners.

    Is no one gonna talk about this?

  • Australia bans citizen trying to return from IS camp in Syria

    Jump

  • Super politicised in Australia in the wake of the Bondi massacre, perpetrated by Muslims.

    Nobody wants these women. Their values were incompatible with Australia before they left. I am kinda curious what they would say in a candid interview regarding their thoughts of Australian culture.

    Regardless, they are citizens and have rights, and their children shouldn't be punished for having daft parents.

  • VPN only with ID check in UK?

    Jump

  • Yeah but imagine trying to explain to your 15yo kid that you're not going to let them interact with their friends on facebook or whatever because reasons.

  • The AI bubble is NOT going to burst

    Jump

  • Sorry chief. Just not convinced of your argument at all.

    Not adopting the AI paradigm is going to become increasingly costly

    Why do dev machines cost $7k now ? Can someone who works for a large software development company confirm ?

    Honestly I'd have thought things are going the other way. My laptop that I purchased for $500 several years ago is a great daily driver. I dabble in development, some is local, but LLM stuff is offloaded to an inference API, or a bare metal server which I rent.

    I understand that sophisticated development companies aren't buying second hand laptops, but I don't think there's a sudden imperative to buy everyone $7k dev machines every year.

    Bubbles don’t HAVE to burst anymore

    You haven't really offered much to support this assertion.

    I can assure you that any bubble will burst if there's an interruption in shareholder sentiment.

    Things aren't going so well for Tesla lately. It's interesting that their CEO is sinking many millions into conservative political campaigns.

    NOBODY who is responsible for enforcing anything like responsible economic activity will EVER allow the bubble to burst

    That's not how bubbles are maintained though.

    Right now, everyone's pension fund has invested in the "magnificent 7" because frankly, no one can afford not to.

    Everyone knows the shares in these companies are overvalued, but no one knows by how much, and no one knows when the correction is going to come.

  • Pope Leo rejects Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ invite and backs UN to solve global crises

    Jump

  • I think there's plenty of people who participate in churches (of any flavor) without necessarily buying in to the spiritual aspects. The social aspect of churches provides people with all sorts of benefits.

    This guy has devoted his life to the church, with an infinitesimally small chance of rising high enough for it to be "an effective way of wrangling the opinions of the idiot masses" so it seems unlikely that he doesn't believe any of it.

  • Council scraps four-day work week plan after backlash from business sector

    Jump

  • Not really surprising.

    Of course the private sector will scream blue bloody murder if public sector employees are getting better terms.

    Local govt isn't really able to kind of lead the way on social employment reforms like this.

    I don't hold any love for the Chamber of Commerce anywhere but it is kinda their job to push back on this.

  • Climber on trial for leaving girlfriend to die on Austria's highest mountain

    Jump

  • Sure, but you're taking me out of context.

    The comment I replied to is basically saying that if it's a risky endeavor then if things go wrong you just say "oh well you knew the risks" and leave.

    As an aside, I'm Australian, I have a surf life-saving accreditation (very common here), I'm well aware of the dangers of a water rescue.

    My point is, it's not a question of whether the person in need of rescue knew the risks, rather a question of the risks to the rescuer. As I said in my comment it's not clear what the risks to the guy really were. It does seem that, had the couple been appropriately provisioned, the risks to him would've been minimal.

  • ‘Playing Checkers’: Trump’s Bid to Revive Coal Is Nonsensical | The president last week ordered the Department of Defense to purchase coal energy. Experts say it's a lost cause

    Jump

  • Its nice to see we're reaching a point where fossil fuels just dont make sense economically anymore.

    You can politicise it all you want but if everyone makes more money by avoiding coal then thats how things are going to go.

    Of course in this case Trump just wants to divert money to his friends, and he will probably succeed, but at least its getting harder and harder to do as the wins for renewables just keep stacking up.

    My small city just announced theyre going to shut down the gas network in 3 years. Basically their modelling says that with reduced demand due to cheaper electricity from renewables and better electrical tech, no one will want to pay for gas.

    Obviously its become a political issue, but its only going to get more difficult to argue against the economics as time goes by.

  • I have fuel from three weeks ago in 5-gallon containers - too late to add stabilizer or pour into a vehicle?

    Jump

  • I dont know anything about this but in (yes fictional) apocalypse novels the gas in car tanks always goes bad after several months.

  • What unusual/uncommon item(s) do you always keep around for a perfectly logical reasons?

    Jump

  • Fire extinguisher.

    Get a small one and put it in your boot or the back of your ute (seppo: truck).

    If you're ever first to a car accident, or have one yourself, you'll be very glad you have it.

  • (SOLVED) I need help with networking for VirtualBox guests running on Windows hosts.

    Jump

  • I'm certainly not an expert on such things but I just didn't think bridged networks in virtual box (or docker) were intended to work that way.

    The behaviour you're seeing is exactly what i would have expected.

    In docker I think the solution would be to use the "host" network adapter on the guest VM.

  • Will there be more rain due to climate change?

    Jump

  • For rain to be useful it needs to be consistent and predictable.

    If it only rains on 1 day a year, and on that day you receive 1 years worth of rain, it just washes all the soil away.

  • Climber on trial for leaving girlfriend to die on Austria's highest mountain

    Jump

  • I think it really depends how dangerous it would have been for him to stay with her.

    On Everest, if someone is incapacitated, then there's no point waiting with them because then you'd die too and no rescue is coming.

    This situation is different because a rescue could be mounted, and its not certain the guy would've died if he had have waited with her.

    Like imagine you're swimming a few hundred metres from the beach and your partner gets a cramp, do you just say "oh well you knew the risks" and leave them?
