  • The idea makes sense I’m theory, but doesn’t work in reality. I consider it a psuedo science that stuck around because it was just kind of accepted as true. The numbers just don’t scale right for height or muscle.

    I have an average height friend who had a doctor tell him he was obese. My friend has virtually no fat on him. Although he’s muscular, it’s not like he’s a body builder or someone you’d look twice at for being out of the norm. Muscle is just dense.

    I’m tall. When I was very poor and couldn’t afford enough food, I weighed right in the middle of the ‘healthy’ zone. On multiple occasions a romantic interest saw me with a shirt off and tell me I should eat more. I remember the look well. My ribs were very prominent. BMI tells me I could weigh 30 pounds less and still be healthy! People would voice very serious concern if I got anywhere near that.

    I do not trust BMI.

    Pretty cool. If there was something between this and standard bloated Win 11, I would love that. It took me forever to uninstall/block half of the garbage that comes with the OS. It’s gotten ridiculous. Tiny 11 sounds like it scrapes just a little too much.

    Yeah, yeah, I have Linux on another machine, but there are a number of things that I’m not technically proficient enough to figure out on Linux. He’ll, I’m still struggling to get Jellyfin to work remotely.


  • I bought a box from VSee, because a friend has one and it works. It basically gets every live channel (ESPN, cable network stuff, etc,) and has a large assortment of the streams (Hulu, Max, Disney+, etc.). Netflix content is about the only one I didn’t find. The streaming is a bit clumsy, to find what you want, and some stuff doesn’t work, but mostly it’s pretty good.

    I figure if this works for 6 months, I’ll at least break even. Otherwise there are lots of services that give you the same stuff for ~$12/mo, you just have to have something to log in with.

    They seem to avoid listing the actual content to keep themselves out of trouble. All I did was buy the box, connect it to the wifi and turn it on.






  • I will never understand how people that strongly identify as Christian have never actually read the book their identity is based upon.

    There’s plenty of Bible verses about worshipping false idols, and greed. Here are a couple:

    All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless.

    Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

    …Yet Christians worship a ruthless billionaire and a rapist.
