First, it's not zero. Denver is 5000ft ASL and it's in a valley (towns around it are higher). There's a slow elevation change across the Midwest to the Rockies.

Second, Passes are a thing.

Still, wagons crossing the Rockies is an amazing thing.

Get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.

Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.

And you can permanently license it using Microsoft's own scripts.

Scripts on Gituub.

No shit.

And what's this sophist "silence is violence" nonsense.

Violence is violence. If anyone thinks it and silence are the same, let's arrange a meeting with Mike Tyson.

"mystery malware"

The article clarifies the name of the malware.

Clickbait BS. Why are you being disingenuous?

I like the idea of square... But since I don't really use the Home button, I can never get used to it.

It's a neat idea, just wish I could take advantage of it.

Simplistically no, but then again, yes... because again fat cells metabolize too (as in they grow). (But we'd want to clarify the circumstance, as metabolism isn't just one simple thing. I'd say this question is sort of a next level discussion of metabolism).

Increased glucose metabolism is (generally) only good if it's caused by exertion - aka exercise (or heavy thinking, the brain is a massive glucose consumer). Then it's more being metabolized by muscles than fat cells (if the muscles ~~aren't~~ are out-pacing supply, and have sufficient oxygen).

I'd say this is part of why multiple, smaller meals is better - lower total glycemic load per meal, so a smaller insulin response, less opportunity for fat cells to engage, and also reduced eicosanoid production (these are hormones that trigger things like inflammation, iirc).

All this is why folks like the old diabetes docs and Sears focus on the simple approach: more calories from fat and protein than carbs (especially fat, since it reduces glycemic load and is more easily metabolized into more varied nutrients), and avoid simple carbs (bread, dammit, my nemesis) as much as possible. That's easy to understand, and fairly easy to visualize proportions once you've done it a while.

Did he? I'll have to go look.

I pretty much never do reverse sear, or even sear-then-oven as it's only needed for thick steaks (1" or more), and well, that's an expensive cut so I rarely have it.

I find for thinner cuts it'll cook through to medium-rare in the time it takes to sear.

Rebuild the battery with new Li-Ion cells... You can do it, we believe in you!

About 2009 if I remember right. I have one. Love the form factor.

Somewhere dry, in a sturdy container to protect it against pests.

Which Costco also sells. Those 40+ quart translucent containers hold most of the 38 rolls you get from them.

(I'll admit to a little sarcasm - it's funny Costco sells these giant packs of bog roll, and also sells you the box to store it in. Irony, right?)
