    Fiber is the cause of many of intestinal issues, making constipation and crohn's disease worse. Red meat also helps people stay at a healthy weight, lower the risk of heart disease…

    There never will be a 1 for 1 replacement because the two systems have different approaches. Why would you want a direct replacement when you could have something better? GPOs are …

    Chrootkit is the sort of thing you run on your affected drive from a system you believe isn't affected. EDR is pretty much just logging and remote access. The rest is fluff. Yes, y…

    Flicking that switch would be pretty much a one time deal. Not likely. What would happen instead, and has happened in the past, is Microsoft (or juniper, etc) leaving a remote vuln…

    Am I the only one who read this and thought, "doesn't everyone self host a NAT gateway?" Mine's in the living room, it says TP Link. More seriously, NAT is fun and all but it can i…

    What's impractical about everyone having a domain name? It surely isn't due to lack of domain names, because foo.bar.baz.bim.bim.bap.com is a valid domain name. It is true that ful…

    Do you seriously believe that hasn't been genericized? Computer people talk about SSH all the time and usually mean openSSH. When they're not talking about openSSH the next most li…

    >1 chargeback we received last month >We refunded all of them Was it a chargeback or a refund? It can't be both. I'd assume one chargeback isn't enough to get your account banned t…

    Potatoes are not particularly high on the satiety index (~33%). Brocolli and spinach are much higher at near 100% https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/marty.kendall7139/viz... I'…

    Where does the idea that potatoes are "almost-complete" in terms of nutrition come from? If you look up nutrition facts for potatoes: -1 potato contains 110 calories -Lets say our …

    Doesn't everyone have floaters? I thought some people just don't notice them, the brain filters it out as useless data. Learning how to ignore them is probably more valuable than t…

    Stablecoins are crypto. In any case, people trade things away because they have a particular need for something else. Holding currency won't fly you to Guam, but being willing to s…

    There are laws in place to regulate this behavior, but the government has chosen to protect mastercard from enforcement in this instance. That's the smoking gun. Mastercard could s…
