Unpopular opinion: OneDrive automatic integration is amazing. Get a new PC, login, boom. PC at your parents’ house? Boom.

I tried open source file syncing and it was jank. Everyone making their own cloud is inefficient anyway.

I just wish windows phone was still a thing and it could all be on the Microsoft account. It remains better value than any other offering.

That said, if it’s not your thing and you don’t want any of it, I agree there should be a big red “I’ve got this” button if you want to go full manual transmission. Well, windows style, maybe circa Windows 7. Linux is only for those for whom playing with settings is why they computer.

Also “personalisation” can eat a dick. And stop fucking asking me for feedback. You get 1 star everytime just for asking. I’m done. /rant

InputZero ,

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, OneDrive is not a backup solution. You should not be using it to sync files between PCs. It’s at best a data sharing solution which also extensively mines your data. If you’re using OneDrive to backup important information you’ll regret it when your data is gone and there’s no support from Microsoft to resolve it.

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

Sounds utterly illegal, and likely to lead to countless lawsuits. They’ve got better phone support than Google, especially when you’re a paying customer, and I’m not expecting one of the biggest corporations on the planet to just up and leave with my data, and I’ve sure as shit never heard of it happening.

Microsoft products have a bunch of problems I’m happy to moan about, and a UX team that I swear doesn’t even use M$ products, but data security does not seem to be one of them.

It’s not MS but Google Drive suffered data loss back in November. Any company can accidentally fuck something up. That’s why I self host. When I eventually loose data, it will be my own damn fault!

Fair. I’m not knocking that choice if it’s for you. But it isn’t for most people, especially those who are not at all tech savvy.

I work in IT, and almost nobody who opted to use external hard drives for backup is ever up to date with their backups.

Are you cold crashing when you brew? I brew beer but haven’t cold crashed a batch yet. Is there a difference in the taste?

verity_kindle ,

So far, I always cold crash to get the impurities/ carbohydrates to fall out of the solution and leave a less hazy wort. I like a gnarly trub in my kettle, before I start transferring to the ale pail/ bucket fermenter. So, I don’t know what a beer would taste like without it. I’ve only brewed ales and lambics so far.

fruitycoder ,

Not all tap water is good to drink. Some people wells or some city water is bad.

Personally I only buy it if the power is out (to help pack the fridge and freezer) or road trips / camping. Where yes is could try to store a coolers worth of ice in my freezer but its just not worth it

verity_kindle ,

Thank you! I feel SEEN. ya leave nice fresh ice in the freezer long enough, it gets funky, especially if it’s stored with other food.

ASeriesOfPoorChoices , to insanepeoplefacebook in Could it be?

given that some bible scholars believe there are dragons in the bible (bibleproject.com/guides/dragons-in-the-bible/ ) there is nothing specifically insane about this post at all.

Outside of “Christianity is insane”, but that’s hardly the point of this community. Or is Flying Squid going to start posting every nutter thing from the Bible here now?

Do you think maybe there’s a slight difference between “the Bible says there were dragons” and “all of these civilizations have dragon folklore, therefore that means dinosaurs were dragons?”

    There are more calories sure but he’s going to be full from eating fatty pasta. Feeding him sugar is going to put his glycemic response into overdrive and make him hungry again in a few hours.

    Luccus , (edited )
    @Luccus@feddit.org avatar

    Fats are quite difficult for the body to break down. But carbs, especially sugars, are really easy to digest. If one eats a lot of fat, it may actually make its way out unchanged.*

    *I’m not a nutritionist, I just drank 250ml of olive oil after loosing a bet.

    earlgrey0 ,

    Ok, I am going to need more details about this played out. I am morbidly curious about what that much olive oil does to one’s insides and how bad of a stomach ache that was. Also, how fast can a person actually consume that much olive oil? Is it possible to attempt to chug it or is it too viscous? I have so many questions!

    WoahWoah ,

    I did something similar on a long backpacking trip. I brought olive oil in a plastic bottle which I had chopped some small peppers into so I could add fat/ calories/flavor to backpacking food. On day eight, two days before we were hiking out, I was out of trail snacks, so I finished off the plastic bottle of oil because I was super hungry. It had about 200ml of oil in it I would say, so I just drank it, figuring what the hell, I need some calories.

    I had stomach cramps so bad I couldn’t walk, I had to lie down. My backpacking partner had to put up my hammock for me, and after lying there in excruciating pain for about 90min, I then shit everything out of my stomach and bowels, which also hurt. Felt a little better but still had bad cramps. All in all, probably three hours of misery. We lost a whole afternoon of hiking, basically by the time I was ok again, we got about 2mi down trail for a better camp spot and just called it a day.

    10/10 would recommend.

    @WoahWoah Not to be the obnoxious didact in the room but I do feel compelled to point out that vegetables/herbs soaked in oil at room temp are generally not a good idea unless you like botulism poisoning: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/food/preservation/herbs-vegetables-oil-sp-50-701

    Just for anyone who's not aware! Honestly, immediately shitting yourself was not even close to the worst possible outcome lol.

    WoahWoah , (edited )

    The peppers were pickled and then I chopped them up and added them. The pickling is really why they add flavor.

    I regularly pickle my own peppers (and make my own fermented hot sauce), so I imagine that made a difference in terms of botulism. Still, good to know and thanks for the info.

    Luccus ,
    @Luccus@feddit.org avatar

    Maybe a bit late, but the worst thing about it was the texture while drinking and… wiping… because oil really needs soap to come off.

    But other than that, it was pretty uneventful. But I also have a pretty non-problematic stomach that rarely complains.

    earlgrey0 ,

    Respect that you took the time to reply, even if it’s late. I had a feeling the texture of oil would be better problematic, but wasn’t expecting it to cause issues on both ends.

    cm0002 ,

    It’s not all about the calories. It’s true butter is dense in calories, but it’s dense in calories your body will convert the bulk of into useful things it needs.

    Sugar OTOH, also adds a lot of calories, but your body will only use a small portion of it and convert the rest to fat for later use.

    For nearly all of human evolution, sugar was a rarity and your body treated it as such, the wide access we have to sugar nowadays has only been a thing for a tiny blip of time as far as evolution is concerned

    The butter won’t make him fat but the pasta will.

    themeatbridge ,

    Calories in/calories out. Butter is fat and some sugar and protein. Pasta is mostly carbs. But they all become calories, and if you eat more calories than you burn, they will be stored as fat.

    The poster above is correct thay sugar is the easiest for your body to turn into calories, and carbs are basically complex sugars. Fat is also fairly easy for your body to convert to calories, and it is usually more dense. Protein is the hardest, but even protein will make you fat if you eat enough of it.

    If you want to lose weight, burn more calories than you consume. Everything else is nuance.

    Nikls94 ,

    As someone who’s quit sugar and vegetable oils: this food will have more calories with the butter, but it will keep full for longer

    Telodzrum ,

    If you want to lose weight, burn more calories than you consume. Everything else is nuance.

    The dumbing down of nutritional science and metabolic understanding so we can teach high schoolers a “health” class has resulted in disastrous knock-on effects from which it will take decades for the human body to recover.

    molten ,

    What? This isn’t suggested or taught in any high school curriculum I know of. Not only that but it is technically true and most people who actually diet do more research than “starve yourself” because who is too lazy to do research but not too lazy to make a huge lifestyle change and constantly exert control over their purchasing/prep/eating habits? Decades for the body to recover? I mean, if you literally starve yourself to near death to the point where you cause organ damage you might never fully recover I guess, but seriously, nobody is doing that without already having severe issues beforehand. The overarching suggestion of “eat less calories if you want to be less fat” is effective and non-harmful advice as the majority of people who remain overweight tend to overeat. Which is unhealthy and can take decades for the human body to recover.

    englislanguage ,

    Your comment is incorrect in many different ways.

    Butter is fat and some sugar and protein.

    No. The butter in my fridge has almost no sugar (0.6g in 100g) and almost no protein (0.7 g in 100g).

    Pasta is mostly carbs.

    For comparison: The pasta I have at home have more sugar (most have roughly 3g in 100g) and way more protein (12g in 100g).

    they all become calories, and if you eat more calories than you burn, they will be stored as fat.

    Are you sure you’re not simplifying too much?

    Also, “just” eating less or more calories is not that easy if you ignore the side-effects. Carbohydrates will make you hungry very soon unless mixed (or eaten after) fibers, fat and protein. Which you should do anyways for health reasons.

    OutsizedWalrus ,

    I think the person you’re trying to correct was making the same point as you.

    They were simply trying to demonstrate that butter isn’t 100% fat.

    Kit ,

    Butter has 4.5x more calories than pasta by weight. It has roughly 100 calories per Tbsp.

    If she adds 2 Tbps of butter to his meal preps daily, he would gain (or at least, not lose) 1 lb of body fat roughly every 16 days.
