Good quality teas don’t need sugar. Asian grocery stores are a great source of higher quality teas that aren’t just the commodity grade tea dust that is in your average lipton tea bag.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What are super-computers used for ?
9·8 days agoA super computer isn’t just a single computer, it’s a lot of them networked together to greatly expand the calculation scaling. If you can imagine a huge data center, with thousands of racks of hardware, CPUs, GPUs and RAM chips all dedicated to the tasks of managing network traffic for major websites, its very similar to that but instead of being built to handle all the ins and outs and complexities of managing network traffic, it’s purely dedicated to doing as many calculations for a specific task, such as protein folding as someone else mentioned, or something like Pixar’s Render Farm, which is hundreds of GPUs all networked together dedicated solely to the task of rendering frames.
With how big and complex any given 3d scenes are in any given Pixar film one single GPU might take 10 hours to calculate the light bounces in a scene to render a single frame, assuming a 90 minute run time, that ~130,000 frames, which is potentially 1,300,000 hours (or about 150 years) to complete just 1 full movie render on a single GPU. If you have 2 GPUs working on rendering frames, you’ve now cut that time down to 650,000 hours. Throw 100 GPUs at the render, we’ve cut time to 13,000 hours, or about a year and a half. Pixar is pretty quiet about their numbers but at least according to the Science of Pixar traveling exhibit during the time of Monster University in 2013, their render farm had about 2000 machines with 24,000 processing cores, and it took 2 years worth of rendering time to render that movie out, and I can only imagine how much bigger their render farm has gotten since then.

You’re not building a super computer to be able to play Crysis, you’re building a super computer to do lots and lots and lots of math that might take centuries of calculation to do on a single 16 core machine.

1791·29 days agoSometimes the theatrics of shutting down a nazi site is just as important as the actual shutting down of a nazi site.
If I pickle them in vinegar, they turn bright pink, if I alkalize them in baking soda, they turn blue, if I cook them slowly in butter they turn a deep brown color.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that the First-Past-The-Post voting system allows a political party to gain an absolute majority with only a minority of the votes
11·2 months agoCGP Gray has a good explanation how FPTP works and how it breaks down and ends up typically collapsing down into a 2 party system or is wildly unrepresentative in multi party systems.
Basically fptp is a winner take all system, whoever gets the most votes wins and beats everyone else in the race. It doesn’t matter if you won by 1 vote or by 1 million votes the result is the same, you won. So if one party can maintain just a slim plurality across numerous districts, they win those districts despite not getting the majority of votes and everyone else’s votes essentially do not count in the greater whole.
It depends but technically yes. American cheese is pretty simple, one or multiple cheeses blended with sodium citrate and some milk to create a very smoothly melting cheese. I actually made some myself last night by melting a bunch of very sharp cheddar cheese into some milk and adding a few slices of a decent American cheese to get the sodium citrate. I basically made a really good borderline cheese whiz for the sandwiches I made.
Kraft Singles, (which is what everyone likely has in mind for plastic fake cheese) however don’t contain enough cheese as an ingredient to call the final product an actual cheese, there is a lot of milk powder added in that tips the ratios into cheese product territory.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do you think payment processors are restricting their policy to exclude pornographic content?
11·5 months agoJesus fuck you’re so predictable. You just cantnhelp but double down on lies. You keep talking about all these books that have graphic content but refuse to give so much as a title of any of these books actually exist. Either give some examples or go away. Nobody believes your bullshit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do you think payment processors are restricting their policy to exclude pornographic content?
11·5 months agoNope I’ve seen the conversations and every single time they play out as follows.
Conservative commentor: “ban porn books in school libraries!”
People with more than 1 brain cell: “sure what books are pornographic? Tell everyone which books are porn.”
Conservative commentor: “I won’t tell you the titles because you should already know because the conversation has been happening”
So yes i have been paying attention to ThE cOnVeRsAtIoN, and nobody on the side of banning books from libraries ever gives any details as to what is or isn’t pornograpic and why. Gee that sounds familiar, almost like this is exactly what you’ve done, you conservative freak.
Now you can either fuck off and leave everyone alone or you’ll double down on the lies and keep making nonsense gesturing at windmills you think are giants without ever providing any evidence that you’re correct.

11·5 months agoSee here’s the thing, it’s not my job to prove your argument correct. So if you aren’t going to take the time to defend your own point, why should I take the time to do it for you?
No titles to prove these books were inapropriate? Then stop posting and stop lying that these removals and bans aren’t just targeted attempts at censoring authors writing about non-cis non-het non-white topics.
This is literally Palazzo Braschi in 1930s Italy.
