265 is more bandwidth efficient than 264. If you put two video streams next to each other, 100% identical, running at the same bitrate, except one is H.264 and one is 265, 265 will look better.

265 can achieve the same visual fidelity as 264 at 20-40% lower bitrate, depending on a few factors. The trade off is you need more processing.

If either are looking pixilated, you’re getting ones with to much compression. I still try and get ones at around a gig or larger. Especially if you’re watching on a big screen. And like I said, if your hardware will run it without getting all laggy, 10 or 12 bit is good for rgb color depth

In this day and age of compression, you can get a very small file in good quality.

If your hardware will run it, MKV/265 is fantastic! Especially the 10 bit rips

I agree. When I indulge, Black Forest brand is where it’s at

They should print this image on some adult diapers. $Profit

They’re honestly one of my favorite 90’s bands. All the way to Lifers, as I am!

Here Comes the Zoo was the last I’d put up there with AGAD and Pack up the Cats.

I saw them right at the end of lockdown in like 22, and they still got it

Underrated band!

I heard it’s Steven Miller and Andrew Tates love child…

Vinegar has always helped me. Malt vinegar, or Apple cider vinegar.

Trader Joes has a really yummy lemon ginger acv drink that’s one of my go to’s

They can absolutely build appropriate underground/lower level parking to accommodate most any sized building.

Still, fuck cars. But this is just bullshit

Trump will soon be signing an executive order to make not spilling the poop grounds for exile to an Salvidorian concentration camp

Yeah, I was basically mocking Leavitt. And /s should probably be my signature

Nah son, it’s called the art of the deal

Down in the deep south

You’ll probably get a better answer on Truth Social. Ask DJT

Uhh, see the banana master JWBananas diagram below. Exactly what I’m talking about

You can cut the second to last banana a little lower, and leave the top of the stim attached to keep it hanging

Geddit still works for read only, so I use that occasionally to check on a handful of subreddits that will gain no traction here or elsewhere yet

I feel ya on the stevia. It kinda has a weird aftertaste depending on how well it’s blended. Lucky for me, I don’t have much of a sweet tooth aside from chocolate, which I can find sugar free must of the time.

I used to be all about Agave when it first became popular for cooking and baking, but I’ve read some unfortunate articles on it the last few years. Most brands are actually basically corn syrup, so you have to be careful when buying. And pure agave is fairly pricey.

As far as natural sweeteners that aren’t supposed to be as unhealthy, you could try monk fruit, date, allulose. Or sugar alcohols like xylitol or erythritol. I would still avoid these when fasting if you can.

The fasts I’ve done that really made me feel amazing after I was done were when I worked up to 5 to 7 days, which I only do every 6 months or so. First two days, I completely dry fast, as that is good for getting you to autophagy quick, and also helps clear out any internal parasites you might be harboring. Then I electrolyte/vitamin with only water the rest of the week.

When I first started, I would dirty fast, with only water, green or black tea, or straight black coffee. It took me a few tries to get past the third day, which is okay. It’s best to work up to it! I’ve been an evening only eater most of my adult life as well, so it was fairly easy for me to step up to a couple days.

Just start out with calorie restriction. Like I said, start at intermentent. Eat in a 8 hour period, and fast for 16. Work up to 20/4, OMAD, then step up to a 48. You can do it!

It’s just really good for your body to not constantly have to be breaking down food, so it can get a break, and clean up your body, and dead cells and whatnot.

And if you do indulge in sweets, it’s okay. I have periods where I have cheat weeks. But I am pretty much always at a 20 fast/4 eating a day 5 or 7 days a week, with a 48 hr thrown in when I’m feeling like it. And like I said, an extended fast twice a year. Work into it, and you’ll do fine
