1809 is the first build that shipped with the mitigations, so that explains why there are a lot of performance problems around that time.


All of the major slowdowns seem to pop up in build 1809, which is where the first Spectre/Meltdown mitigations were introduced, which is to be expected.


Why stop there? You could get a whole circle of Teslas towing each other and never even have to stop moving!


Then, have them turn a turbine to generate electricity, qed.


Do plant-based proteins have the B vitamins that most of the world is deficient in?


Ummm... yes.

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/impossible-burger#what-...

The Impossible Burger is supplemented with a ton of B vitamins (for thiamine, several weeks' supply).

Most vegans eat lots of other B containing foods, including yeast (which is after all how plant-eating animals manufacture B vitamins in the first place, by fermentation during digestion). But for those who want to get it along with their protein source, the plant-based meat-simulacra also contain it.


Vitamin B12 is produced only by bacteria. Not yeast.

It’s incredibly difficult to get sufficient quantities of B12 outside of meat products or manufactured supplements.


The only reason most meats have B12 is because the animals are supplemented with it as well, because modern farming has sterilized to the point where even these animals don't get enough naturally.

So either way your B12 is coming from supplements. It's either in a pill already, or the flesh of animal who didn't want to die, and they simply took the pill on your behalf.


That's correct. I conflated.

Most nutritional yeast is supplemented with B12. It's a good source of protein and other minerals.

Many vegetarians also eat fermented pickles that contain B12 naturally, though you do have to eat rather a lot to get sufficient B12.

By contrast, most non-vegetarians are very deficient in fiber, and nobody ever seems to bother about it.


This is silly. The solution to a vitamin deficiency is vitamins. Clearly they're deficient while eating meat too, so that doesn't seem like a strong argument against plant based proteins.


> In all, 52% of vegans, 7% of vegetarians and one omnivore were classified as vitamin B12 deficient (defined as serum vitamin B12 < 118 pmol/l). [0]

No, they are not "clearly deficient while eating meat" as you claim. There's a documented B12 deficiency in vegans and vegetarians that isn't present in meat eaters.


Cherry picking one vitamin deficiency in vegans. Omnivores are deficient in other vitamins. The answer is supplementing, not changing foods you eat.

> Omnivores had the lowest intake of Mg, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin and folic acid. Vegans reported low intakes of Ca and a marginal consumption of the vitamins D and B12.

I wasn't talking about those vitamins. I was talking about B12, which we largely get from meat...meat being the original topic.

I would have thought his music alone was plenty of evidence that he was more than a little unhinged.


I have a hunch that upvotes/minute matters too.


I have trouble believing any company that makes claims about privacy but won't provide source code to back them up.


This was my experience quitting drinking. Once I realized what it meant for my stability, both mental and financial, the upsides stopped outweighing the downsides and I lost all interest.

Still working on cigarettes.


IIRC you used to be able to make a bootable Windows stick on Linux simply by extracting the contents of the ISO onto a USB stick and marking it bootable. Is that still possible now that EFI is everywhere?


Unetbootin either dumps the raw ISO directly to the block device or, in the case of Windows, extracts it to an exFAT partition. Ventoy doesn't require you to extract or dump the ISOs at all, which is where the real beauty of it lies.
