Lemmy with a politics blocklist must be very different. Is there a channel that shares lists?
That's chicken change, when one person can destroy a $44 billion tech company.
2pt... Had an important point: piracy = copyright infringement.
Blocking ads is a ToS violation, not piracy.
HL2 is one of my all time favorites, I enjoy going on a tour of City 17 while mowing down enemies, and solving puzzles.
For me the most interesting part of HL1 or HL2 is the journey when you enter The Citadel or Xen it's a bit sad because the journey is over.
I understand your reasoning for calling ad-blocking for piracy, but I'm not sure I agree, or else we have to split "piracy" into degrees.
I think puritans will say unprocessed is live unseasoned.
I have tried raw oysters once and found that they are only palatable when cooked, as swallowing a ball of slime was not easy, and lemon did not help at all.
Rational Rose etc. could generate code from UML diagrams, then you "only" needed architects.
In reality it only gave a little help during the design phase, as soon as someone touches the generated code, you have to manually merge changes to UML.
I would say a large contributor to America's stupid yokle image are the people with the red caps.
Can't wait for the showdown of Facebook/Twitter LLM vs Lemmy LLM
What about "Well researched hobbyist"
Sometimes the cheapest option is so much worse than just getting the right gear from the beginning.
I see that the study uses 48mg sucralose in 60ml water amounting to 0.8g/liter.
My Cola recipe with pure sucralose uses 0.167g/liter this should be equivalent to normal soda sweetness of 100g sugar/liter.
The issue I had with sucralose was that it seemed to go out of solution in the syrup that's why my current Cola recipe uses a mix of sucralose/saccharin/stevia in the ratio of 30/30/40 which amounts to 0.05g sucralose/liter so if I drink 1 liter of soda I'll get the same amount as their study.
The reason I continue to use sucralose is that it rounds out the flavor of saccharin and stevia.
Okay not all Diet Coke uses sucralose, but you can still buy Diet Coke with Splenda https://www.cokesolutions.com/products/brands/diet-coke/diet-coke-with-splenda.html
As I understand diet coke uses sucralose, not aspartame as sweetener.
Sucralose has a different sweetness profile, much closer to real sugar and is not bitter. Compared to aspartame in zero/light that needs 0.2g salt/liter to cover up the bitterness.
They look like some teenager were too eager with the slider during character creation.
It's because they are insecure, they can't handle if people start eating less meat.
