@stux hey man flight restrictions to the netherlands just lifted. so I might be back soon (planning things now)...

Have things opened up enough that we could get a beer, catch up like old times again?

@anonymoose

No worries, the semantic side isnt too important... the issue here is just that "legitimate" is a far more loaded term than just saying "moral".. moral is subjective, legitimate seems to mask that subjectivity to some degree.

@barefootstache As an absolutism you are right, potassium is no healthier than sodium. However in practice not so much.

Virtually all adult humans are deficient in potassium and virtually all adult humans get many times their needed daily value of sodium.

Therefore for the vast majority of people cutting out what salt they can and replacing it with potassium will be substantially healthier as it will mean they are closer to getting adequate amounts of potassium while still getting more than enough of their needed sodium.

When I have the energy to get into the COVID debate again i will absolutely check it out... But after a year and a half of debating covid I am kinda on covid holiday now that the vaccine is out and it is more or less behind us.

@zpartacoos

@DavidBond there are shared block lists that sort of cover that... but I find most shared block lists become fairly liberal on who they add. So not sure of one that is exclusive to "the worst of the worst"

@copyme@mastodon.online

Agreed :) Looks like they tried to make the box look like a bone but just did a poor job.

@dogs @funny

@DavidBond As do I, which is why QOTO has a policy of not blocking other servers and only silencing in extreme situations. Sadly most other instances dont feel the same.

@copyme@mastodon.online

You can kinda see part of it near the bottom.

@dogs @funny

@DavidBond because of the nature of decentralization.. A particular server only federates with servers which are known to it. Thus the search will only be from the universe you are in.

Thankfully QOTO has one of the highest peer counts of any server. So while our search still wont be 100% (some servers might block us for example), it is going to have one of the more complete searches.

@skells

Fair, while we don't agree on ivermectin (and admittedly i didn't read your links) the rest I can get behind.

Vaccines would have been fine by me if they just bothered to go through the usual safety tests rather than rushing it through.

@dogs @funny

He is doing your soul a tear apart!

Honestly I dont personally have the energy to debunk another anti-vax argument. Maybe later.

I myself do not suggest people take the vaccination, but I also wouldnt say the vaccine doesnt work or that ivermectin is somehow safer and better. My stance is simply that we dont have enough data just yet for the vaccine to warrant mass consumption, though I admit most of the evidence for the vaccine so far has shown that, aside from AZ, is pretty safe for mass consumption. AZ still has a place, but likely shouldnt be a first line vax.

@zpartacoos

I've been thinking about making this for breakfast all night since @lupyuen posted his lunch!

It is a bagel with a tiny bit of butter, then a layer of hot pepper cheese, then blended garlic paste, then a second slice of hot pepper cheese, all topped with a sprinkling of potassium salt.

My god it was so much more glorious than it probably sounds!

@realcaseyrollins

Usually I do just that. But there are 2 main disadvantages.

1) you are paying (indirectly) for a windows license you wont use. Plus if you are anti-windows financially supporting microsoft.

2) If the hardware isnt built with linux compatibility in mind you may find some small things (or even large things) simply dont work.

@shakthimaan

@shakthimaan Awww shame none of them have high resolution displays.. automatically a no go, 1080p is not an acceptable resolution for a modern computer IMO

@shakthimaan I am relly surprised at how affordably priced these are. Usually products from the netherlands are astronomically high.
