"Delivery drivers will still have access, and people will still be able to drive into the area to visit friends, or access amenities like shops or the theater according to the city’s deputy mayor David Belliard."
They have a lesser conversion rate, but what most paleo/anti-vegan arguments neglect to mention in terms of plant omega-3 sources is that if you simply eat more total ALA, the net omega-3 will be the same to your body. Seems obvious, but people never seem to acknowledge that. It's not such a lesser conversion rate that this isn't practical or possible. Not to mention there's studies showing alternative benefits of ALA despite having less conversion rate overall. Similarly with krill oil -- there's less EPA/DHA compared to fish oil per gram but it's utilized differently by the body and has shown variations in bioavailability when measured (krill vs fish oil is an ongoing topic of interest).
"Other [nutrients] are found in vegan foods, but only in meagre amounts; to get the minimum amount of vitamin B6 required each day (1.3 mg) from one of the richest plant sources, potatoes, you’d have to eat about five cups’ worth (equivalent to roughly 750g or 1.6lb). Delicious, but not particularly practical."
And yet when you investigate plant sources of b6,

Interesting! Very interesting! I wonder what percentage of readers of this article are going to investigate what this authoritative science writer says for themselves? After all, why not trust the expert with a graduate degree working for the BBC?
So which is it, is the author unable to investigate in the most basic manner the actual B6 content in foods, when she apparently has a doctorate, or is this some sort of propagandist trash article with an agenda? Because I'm not sure what other options there are based on the way the quoted paragraph is written.
Moreover, what are the implications for the BBC's editorial standards that something like this was greenlit?
Using shopping engines is even worse. Google shopping and Amazon, I've been having an incredibly difficult time finding products within a price range and sorting it by price. Searching for items in quotes on Google Shopping often returns all sorts of irrelevant results. In Amazon, the 'price low to high' filter doesn't even seem to work most of the time and it includes sponsored results way out of my price range in the middle of the results. Amazon also seems to have removed any type of price range filter on the left sidebar.
So this was described as a 'decentralized water recycling unit' -- can anyone inform me how decentralizing this service in the form of this appliance is going to be more efficient than large scale bulk wastewater treatment setups, like we have now (or do we)? As an outsider to the industry I don't know what the advantage is in localizing the water processing like this versus doing it all at scale in the same place then piping it back to customers. If it's the case that the water that drains from showers is not being recycled/reused currently, then I see how this makes sense, although I still wonder why doing that locally versus centrally is preferable.
So, I bought the app, and am in the process of creating a hub with 27000 videos, about 5 tb worth of videos, using 4 drives symlinked into one folder :) Let's see how it works!
Initial thoughts:
Would love to see a 'display title of folder' upon hovering on a thumbnail in compact view. I like compact view more than normal, but without displaying filenames I can't see what things are.
Would like a way to change the font display/size/formatting of the filename display somehow, but at least changing the preview sizes increases the font size of it (it was too small a font size by default for my monitor setup). Although now I'm getting bigger thumbnails by increasing preview size even if I only want the font size increased, but better than nothing.
Tabbed hubs with a top bar instead of using recent history on left?
I like how there's such a good variety of search tools.
Love the auto tagger. Would be cool to fiddle with how it works/sensitivity settings in terms of the threshhold for word frequency/whatever else is triggering tagging conditions. This could be incredibly useful for ppl with large libraries.
Since I have so many videos in one hub I'll probably end up wanting additional sorting/categorizing options. Thinking I'm going to have to do that with file system folder reorganization and then potentially doing 'show folders' enabled within Video Hub currently eh? (Or separate hubs for each category I suppose, maybe I'll end up doing that if this symlink stuff is too unwieldy).
On a related note, it would be cool to add in more autocategorization functionality like the autotagger, and bundle in sort of 'library organizer' functionality. A lot of people have tons and tons of videos that are really difficult to sort/categorize by hand. There's probably some sort of library management software out there but I haven't looked into it. If you know about the software Calibre it has all these ebook databases it crosschecks your files with and then auto-tags/auto-genres/ISBN classifies everything. Not sure if something like that exists for video files, but there's probably ways of detecting genre/patterns in the metadata and filename themselves I'd think.
Potentially but also maybe not, a minor bug/unintended functionality is clicking on a video to 'show similar videos to' plays the video in my default player. But maybe there's a toggle for single click > double click video playing that I'd ideally set it to double click because I don't always want to play a video if I just want to see what's related to it. Can't check the options panel right now cause I'm at video 9000 in the loading bar of the 27k total ;p. Another solution for this instead of single/double click would be if one can just click the text filename it'll show similar videos to without playing the video whereas clicking the thumbnail just once triggers the play video. Also that 'similar videos to' has really interesting potential, can see that also being very useful depending on what triggers a similar condition for large libraries as well.
Anyways, great software! Will recommend to others. Pleased to find it because it really does come in handy. Switching over from default Windows File Explorer to One Commander was also another great thing I did in the past few weeks that's going to improve my workflow like Video Hub will -- anybody who's on Windows should really checked out One Commander, I prefer it now to even directory opus.
I for one am COMPLETELY SHOCKED that rich parents are able to get their kids into top colleges using their money and influence. Wow, how long has this been going on without anyone realizing it? Wow.
You're a PhD in a medicine/biology field I hope? Because otherwise, it might seem overly presumptuous to think you fully understand the effects of nicotine on health enough to make overarching conclusions. Like, the effects on atherosclerosis.
How important is doing all of this locally? Meeting clients face to face? I assume businesses of this type would have to be totally readjusted for one living in a very small low tech isolated American town?
