Fair enough.

Personally, it only feels good if I'm not tired. Also I find lifting heavy to feel not great, but light weight and slow movements to feel good. I guess it's a type of pain, but I think the type of soreness you get can be pretty satisfying.

Also I really think climbing is the best workout– it's engaging and fun enough that you're not focusing the exercise. I also loved climbing trees as a kid and a while ago I went to a bouldering gym a bit. The only downsides are that it's a bit expensive and you can easily fuck up your hands/fingers with certain techniques.

Have you tried limiting aerobic stuff? (not saying to avoid it completely)

Running has always made me feel like I'm dying, but sprinting for a really short time feels amazing.

Also have you tried strength training? I think it feels pretty good, especially isolation exercises that don't get my heartrate too high. I still feel tired for a few hours afterwards, but it does make me feel better overall.

They took a bunch of rich women, dressed them up in objectifying skintight suits, then flew them to space for 10 minutes in a glorified plane ride on the second richest guy's dick shaped rocket. And we're supposed to be "inspired", meanwhile women who are actual rocket scientists and astronauts are being erased and removed from NASA's web site because "woke dei" or whatever.

It's such lazy writing, but it seems like almost everything is written this way these days. Characters make the dumbest possible decisions, and refuse to talk to each other or share important information.

I disagree, I think Dark was much more coherent. It was admittedly a bit convoluted, but I think it did a good job tying everything together.

Whereas Lost was them constantly creating new mysteries that they didn't have the answers too, and tying it up in the end with some random bullshit.

I liked common side effects, but I would rather have had s2 of scavenger's reign.

Also kind of wish that common side effects was live action with animated elements, I think that would have been cool visually.

I think it's redundant. I wish the community didn't keep its slightly cringeworthy reddit name, but it doesn't make sense to have essentially a copy of the same thing under a new name, especially when it doesn't have a lot of posts to start with.

There are vegan meat substitutes that are more than good enough for recreating meat dishes.

I bet Beyond meat is probably a more accurate replacement than worms for your grandmother's cooking. At least I hope so, for your family's sake.

dissociate

The article is paywalled, but from the part I could read, it sounds like they're just making hyperbolic colors, which is a pretty well known phenomenon which you can experience at home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color#Chimerical_colors

They've done it using a new technique which is cool, but seeing super saturated hyperbolic colors is not a new thing.

To be fair, it's the same for humans.

Yes, you can run ollama via termux.

Gemma 3 4b is probably a good model to use. 1b if you can't run it or it's too slow.

I wouldn't rely on it for therapy though. Maybe it could be useful as a tool, but LLMs are not people, and they're not even really intelligent, which I think is necessary for therapy.

Yeah humans are actually all pretty close genetically compared to other species. And "race" as defined by society isn't even a good predictor of genetic similarities, so for example if you take random people A and B who are black, and person C who is white, B and C will often be more closely related than A and B.

Also as a sidenote, we are monkeys. Apes are now considered to be a type of monkey taxonomically.

You might want to reread my comment because you're just making false claims that are already addressed about color and resolution

No I'm not. OLED has better contrast and a wider color gamut than the best CRT. And it can have high refresh rate without dropping the resolution below the already low native resolution.

4K resolution, ultra-wide aspect ratio, and extremely high framerates are simply marketing gimmicks

So anything that your current hardware can't do is a "marketing gimmick"? Okay... But at a minimum that would mean that OLED is just "unnecessarily" better. I'm not saying it has to matter to you, but the benefits of high framerate don't abruptly stop at 120fps, and 4k isn't even reaching the point of diminishing returns if you're not using a tiny 17" display.

It is not physically possible that a human could see flicker at 85Hz.

This is just not true. You may not notice it, but many people can. There's an issue with LED lightbulbs flickering at 120hz, for example.

Anyway I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy your CRT, I think it's cool! I just don't think it's better than OLED in any tangible way.

I'll agree that early LCD screens were really bad. TN looks terrible. I think a modern IPS or VA is a better experience than CRT in some ways, (often better color, better resolution, display size, etc.) but still has major issues like poor response time and motion clarity.

CRT does have some advantages– it is good for retro games, as a lot of pixel art was designed for the slight blur that CRTs have (waterfalls in some games, for example). And they do have good motion clarity compared to sample and hold displays, but it's because they are flickery. 85Hz flicker isn't as bad as 60hz, but it's still really uncomfortable for many people. It's one reason why almost nobody uses backlight strobing on LCD monitors. Not worth the tradeoff for most.

OLED really is pretty close to perfect, though. Vibrant accurate colors with excellent motion clarity and high refresh smoothness, virtually infinity contrast...

Trinitron really was ahead of its time, but a 32" 4k 240fps P3 OLED doesn't match it, it far exceeds it.

I think you might be a bit crazy, haha. I do have some nostalgia for CRT, but OLED is far better in every single way.

Larger available size, Higher available resolution and better clarity, Higher available refresh rate, Wider color gamut and more accurate colors, Higher contrast ratio, etc.

Not to mention how flickery CRT is.

I 100% get the appeal of old tech, but it's a bit silly to say it's equivalent to modern stuff.

This sort of flickering can be really noticeable especially at low brightness, with the always-on display for example (although still nowhere near as bad as 60hz CRT flicker shudders*)

But I honestly do not believe thet you're able to see 4000+ hz flickering. If you genuinely can, I'm sure you could get a world record for that.

Think about it this way - everything moves through spacetime at the same "speed", so the faster you go through space, the slower you move through time, which is why photons experience no time.

And nothing is okay for people who are just using it for web browsing and streaming.

I want local music, and to be able to take pictures without worrying about storage, etc. so ~20GB isn't enough for me, but for some people it really is fine.

My guess is $30, could be $40 although I doubt it after the response they got.
