How was your 'intestines being all over the place' diagnosed if I may ask?


These are almost lateral approaches and very different from each other though, with MRI being more like a sonar scan and colonoscopies more like sending a submarine equipped with a camera into the depths.

Both can be very useful and helpful in aiding diagnosis with more data points.

Case in point, I have had an MRI (which showed nothing), several CT scans (which showed temporary blockage) and both methods have not really led to a conclusive diagnosis.


I think we do need to reconsider the weight we give to writing as an a priori factor and it’s supposed suitability and effectiveness at storing ancestral knowledge and history and conserving its quality.

I will try to find the source(s) later if there’s interest, but remember reading articles on Aboriginal Storytelling that used to be only considered folklore until it was proven that the stories, passed on orally, contained and preserved a variety of knowledge of the land, weather and historical events of Australia dating back to when the very first Aborigines set foot unto the continent, reaching back further than virtually all known written records. Contrast this to much younger texts that even today we still haven’t managed to decode or the burning of libraries of the likes of Alexandria and Baghdad that at once wiped out huge chunks of the most valuable knowledge mankind was able to accumulate.


Consider family oral histories. How much do you know about the lives of your great-grandparents? Me, I know pretty much nothing. I do know something about my ancestors from 200+ years ago, because one was famous and has been written about. The people in between then and my grandparents - nada. Other branches of my family - zip.


Alexandria burning is a myth, but otherwise, yes, I agree with your argument.


Have you looked at this new Samsung screen in person, or what makes you say that?

How about the HDR screen from the X16G?


I haven't but I've tested a lot of Samsung screens and I own one of their latest good ones which is the CHG70 (32').

It sucks so much you can't even compare it with the Retina iMac (5k) screen.


Yay for the new speakers but too bad they reduced battery capacity though, especially combined with the new 4k screen option this is quite concerning.

Also I like the carbon fiber but it just sort of looks fake on these images, what it looks like in reality remains to be seen (literally). Dell did it right with their XPS cf palmrest.


How so if I may ask?


A350 has best cabin pressure, then 787, then A380, but they're all pretty good, and they're all pretty quiet too, compared to older planes.


IMO - only flown the A380 a few times, but never felt turbulent (may just be my luck). A350 is quiet AF compared to the 787 (flew them back to back on a flight through Qatar)

One thing I do love about the 787 though is the big windows - tall people get a (edit: lol not 360) very good view around the aircraft if it's not too full.


Wow, is that true? How do they justify it /even get away with that?


Obviously there are some, but what would the benefits (both personal and public) of running a full node be summed up?


I think you just low key blew my mind.


Do you have a link for the article? It sounds interesting.
