Not a doctor and I don't have an exact answer to your question, but this might be helpful:

This may not be a thing in Italy, but check if you're actually able to get enough vitamin D naturally all times of the year where you are.

if you live in northern England near where I am, for example, you can only really guarantee you'll get your RDA of vitamin D from the sun during the summer months. I believe in north Scotland it's not ever possible to reliably get enough naturally.

I try to take a 3000/4000 (honestly which one depends what's on offer) more or less daily outside of summer. During summer I still take them but maybe every few days.

I would probably try what your doctor recommends (assuming you've already flagged your specific concerns, otherwise I'd do that first), it's entirely possible the 50,000 pill is formulated in such a way it manages to be (somewhat incredibly) slow release. If you experience any issues, schedule an appointment as soon as you can, so they can do some tests to help figure out what's going on. Your doctor has a degree in this stuff, so it's good to try what they suggest and discuss any changes with them

This also might not be much of an issue for you since I assume you're getting your supplements from the same, trusted place. But if not, there's a load of fake and low quality supplements out there, make sure you research the brand you're getting has been tested and had its contents verified independently. Any issues could be down to unexpected adulterants rather than the vitamin dose itself

I was more referencing the (on reflection, perhaps kinda niche) home theatre meme where people mount their TVs above fireplaces and attract the ire of the community for doing so

When there is a finite amount of something and someone with more money wants it, it makes the price of it for everyone go up to make it so that some people can no longer afford to compete for the resource, making it available for the higher spender. (Yes there's also infrastructure being built, but they will out compete us for that too)

Same thing with land & property on it, the working class can't afford to buy housing now, because rich people want to use housing as an investment vehicle.

Food is another (though also tied to land ownership)

Ultimately it's the same problem across the board and the solution is generally a wealth tax to prevent densely concentrated capital from distorting the market.

Specifically for these companies, they're simply too big. They need to be broken up and need to be prevented from getting this size again. If they truly cannot be broken up, they should be nationalised.

Failure to address these issues will result in these companies and people holding a total monopoly on all the resources available. More expensive electricity is only the beginning.

TV too high

That's 270,000 people who were interviewed, trained and had accumulated domain specific knowledge paid for by the tax payer.

He's bragging about burning your house down

FWIW I think there's still some merit in maglev vactrains that aren't tied to someone who was only pushing it to get public infrastructure projects cancelled with the goal of selling more cars.

At least there are seemingly serious academics and engineers still researching and developing the concept anyway.

That's £2.3k each if split evenly.

That seems pretty cheap given how much marketing (particularly when involving "talent") usually costs, assuming these campaigns actually had some kind of measurable success.

Why does this read kinda like rage bait? I don't really expect that from the guardian

Edit: just another helpful number I remembered, for context:

The Tories spent £100m on an advertising campaign to gaslight us with how great Brexit was going to be as it happened

That's 200x for much less tangible benefit

Thanks for restoring my sanity

I just went diving into YouTube and could only find variations of the NIN version

Check out the version with NIN

I think I like it best

Edit: link for ease https://youtu.be/-hMr9irtbIQ

Double edit: lol the version you posted is that version and now I'm second guessing myself....

welcome to your life

There's no turning back

Why do I feel like the venn diagram of people who survive in any random apocalypse scenario is an independent circle from the one where people have prepared for apocalypse

Oh this is silly

I like it

Oh yeah for PCM it's CD quality on everything and capable of 24bit/96khz on most hardware made in the past decade (I think there's some high end stuff that does 24bit/192khz, but funnily enough I imagine you need a somewhat higher grade than typical cable for that, since most are made of super cheap plastic fibre, which is usually fine)

You can also send bitstream over it for most pre Blu-ray multichannel formats if you have a compatible receiver

FWIW toslink supports up to 125mbps theoretically

Much lower in practice of course, but it's a bit better than 128k

”Your decision to withdraw at the last moment—explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure,” the letter, shared to the Associated Press, reads, “is classic intolerance.”

Lol. Lmao even.

Imagine telling on yourself like this

Imagine sniffing your own farts this much

I think I'm finally ready to abandon my ancient HP all-in-one

Thankfully it's from before they went full shit, but I don't print regularly enough for an inkjet to make sense

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a compact colour laser all-in-one. I still need to scan shit a couple of times a year, so it's useful to not need a dedicated appliance.

I've not really looked much myself yet, but I already know Brother, Ricoh and Epson are probably who I should be looking at for a decent printer (other recs welcome too)

Those are some heavy links

Again, for complete clarity:

I'm not talking about Russia, we all know they're warmongering shitheads

I'm talking about The Times, who some people might not realise are also in the business of stirring up conflict for their own purposes

Given that, you can start linking reasons to trust the option section of their paper if you like and that would be on topic

Edit: moderated language to avoid muddying my point

Not sure where you got highly accurate from, I thought I made the opposite point pretty black & white. Any accuracy in their article is frankly coincidence and not imperative.

I skimmed the text you gave and then decided to go and read the quotes from the source in news articles. Everything else in the article is opinion I'm not (nor should anyone else) be interested in.

For clarity, I'm not disagreeing that Russia is doing stuff, that's straight from MI6. I'm exclusively talking about the particular dubiousness of any words from the opinion section of this paper, regardless if the origin of the story is verifiable.
