Comment Re:They want to ne Nvidia (Score 1) 35

I don't know that Nvidia would much care if it lost the Linux market share in the graphics sector. I don't see them having an emergency board meeting where they say "OMFG we're going to lose the 237 customers that rely our GPUs on Linux to AMD! Do something!"

People buy Nvidia for more than just graphics. All those AI servers: probably most are running Linux.

30% might well be the "biggest single factor." That study compared genes versus everything else combined.

The genetic contribution could be higher today too. That cohort was people born between 1870 and 1900, when there were a lot more environmental things that might kill you early, including two world wars.

I guess it wouldn't be an "organization" at that point, just a very rich and unencumbered individual who doesn't answer to anyone. Whether he produces anything is irrelevant. Other people and organizations exist to serve him.

And now you see why our society is going the way it is, people with this thinking control everything.

Much of upper management has a deep-seated dislike of the people they rule over. Getting rid of them is a goal in and of itself. They don't like being told what they can't or shouldn't do, they don't like sharing, and they don't like being responsible for people. An organization comprised of only a leader is their Platonic ideal.

Hopefully the focus on "themselves" doesn't come at the expense of their product. My experience with Intel has been that their hardware will always have good Linux drivers that don't require any fucking around with, unlike (for example) nVidia whose closed-source Linux drivers are a pain at best, often a downright shitshow.

Seems an ideologically-driven decision more than anything. I wonder how much of that is rubbing off from nVidia after their share purchase.

JFC....I keep wondering where people leave where food and specifically meat is so $$$$

I live in the New Orleans area....PRIME grade Ribeyes and NYStrips can be had for $10.99 - $13.99/lb.

I llike to buy whole ribeye or strip roasts (usually at Costco) and cut into steaks myself, then vac seal and freeze them.

I know prices are going up...but geez....to me that was $1.99/lb for whole briskets going to over $5/lb (prime) these days.....makes my favorite BBQ meat more expensive.

Pork shoulders (Boston butt) was quite often $0.99/lb just a few months back, but of late the lowest price I find on those is $1.27/lb or so...

A whole top sirloin sub primal is like $8.88/lb this week at our regular grocery store....I'm going to get one of those and cut into pichanas.....sirloin steaks AND...cube up a bunch to marinate for shish-k-bobs.....

If food was really that fucking $$ in SD...I think I'd be moving out of that place pronto.....

natural/animal based casings are more expensive, "most" sausages you get in supermarkets etc are artificial casings.

Err...where do you live where this is true?

I can't remember the last time I was in a grocery store and saw a sausage that was NOT natural casings....

Hell, I go back to the butcher in the back and buy my natural casings from them for my home made sausages......they use natural and hence I buy from them so I can have a ready supply as needed.

And not this isn't a "butcher shop"....regular grocery stores in the area.

Well, there is SOMETHING going on today with younger boys/men....

I think it has to be in the foods....I'm seeing so many young men today, who are just looking feminine...

So many young men now, seem to have high voices....less and less am I hearing men speak like myself and my peers do...naturally in a lower register....

They look more femininie in the face structure too it seems...

So, whether or not it is phytoestrogens.....SOMETHING is affecting young men these days.

I personally don't eat red meats very much anymore due to the unhealthy factor. But the funny thing is that the vegetarian/vegan versions are probably just as processed (or even more processed) and just as unhealthy as the meat versions, and I wouldn't eat those either...

Processed?

I mean steak....it's meat cut off the animal...pretty simple, not processed much at all really.

Hell, even the sausages I make....I save all the trim off my briskets and pork shoulders I buy for my smoker and make sausage....I grind up meat and fat, and mix in some seasonings...I DO add a bit of powdered milk many times and some pink salt (nitrates) at times if I am needing to ensure I have some preservatives if needed (depends on how I'm cooking or smoking it).

So I guess that is somewhat processed, but aside from just chopping, grinding and mixing with seasonings, and stuffing in a casing, I don't consider that to be very processed at all as a sausage.

The thing being is..."I" can do this at home.

Now...to get a vegetarian version of some of these things....like vegetairn "meat"....you pretty much need a lab and chemicals and processes I cannot realistically get for home use....

I tend to eat keto leaning carnivore.....I cook mostly from scratch...and I do love veggies too, BUT...I eat my veggies in a state that starts with the real thing and doesn't take a lot of processing other than chopping or maybe pureeing in a blender....

But that's far from the prepared "veggie" foods you buy on shelves, especially the ones that try to be. Veggie "meat" or "Milk" or "cheeses".....

I don't find read meat (or chicken or pork or seafoods) to be unhealthy...in fact when I concentrate on eating largely carnivor or keto...my health seems to improve substantially.

Eating that way, I feel better, sleep better and my bloodwork numbers look good.....

I think it's the heavy commercial processed foods that need a lab are the things that are killing folks.....not a simple sausage.

A simple common sausage is just using up the scraps of meat from steaks and roasts....so as not to waste food.
