Says who?

I've seen plenty of small kids on wrist leashes since the 80's.

Also, there's a vast difference between a kid and even a dog, when it comes to autonomy - your goal is to slowly develop a kid's autonomy so they can be independent. Some kids/circumstances can be very challenging to negotiate safely.

With dogs, you have to do the reverse - condition them so they'll want to defer their autonomy to you. And with some dogs, even with the best, most capable trainers in the world they'll still dart after that rabbit or whatever catches their eye.

The medical community is finally starting to notice that glucose instability is causal to cardiovascular conditions, after all we just had 40 years of denigrating meat and fat, promoting high carb diets, ending with a major increase in T2D and cardiovascular disease.

I mean for crying out loud it's right in our faces, yet some biochemists were making this very point by the early 90's.

Even worse, doctors who treated diabetes (T1) in the early 20th century already understood reducing simple carbs and increasing fat and protein was the way to help manage T1.

Thanks for the links

No.

I don't even understand the concept.

But I've learned something from almost everyone I've spent any significant time with.

No.

Most people have no idea how to present information, this on top of the average person being able to read about 4x faster than someone can speak. I regularly play podcasts at 1.5x-2x. There are perhaps 3 people who I'll watch on YouTube for information, only because they show how something works and the video format is useful for the subject, and I still often play it at 2x, or just skip through all the nonsense.

99% of video presentations are garbage to me.

As for entertainment, books and video are different things. Video will always have the influence of scriptwriters, director, producers, actors. You're watching their interpretation of a story. Sometimes this can even be a good thing when they highlight something you may not have really noticed. Often though, it comes with the baggage of someone fundamentally altering a story.

Er, uh, OK?

Peltier is horribly inefficient though.

Excellent point.

Though you can definitely make it worse with a crappy process.

Er, wut?

It doesn't matter what the object is, fluid dynamics always applies.

Tab Stash only saves the links.

Right now I save pages directly to OneNote on Android, and simply copy/paste the page content on desktop.

This retains the page content, so it's searchable later.

So, a watchdog was election-rigging?

Why are you using third party RDP clients?

What operating systems are you using for each system?

It would probably help to understand better what you're actually trying to do, rather than assuming RDP is the solution.

Maybe a simple long cable for video, or something. Hard to say without really knowing what you're trying to do.

Yep - pulled up next to a Small-Penis-Mobile the other day, new Ford extra cab, super duty diesel, with that stupid Roosh package no less, so we know he paid a LOT extra. And it was black, shiny and clean, even the tires. Fucking garage queen for a twat.

Lifted, stupid tires, some stupid gizmo in the receiver.

I bet I've towed more with my 20-year-old "toy truck" than that douchebag ever will. Oh, and he was on speakerphone holding the phone up with his right hand, going 5mph under the limit, holding up traffic.

I probably get better fuel economy with 250k on the odometer, and I don't spew out the crap he does.

Asshat.
