You would have to consume more than 40 mg per kg of body mass for aluminum to be toxic, which for the average person of c. 62 kg means consuming 2.5 grams of aluminum at a sitting, or the equivalent of a square of foil 23 centimeters on a side. It is not very bioaccumulative; its presence in Alzheimer’s patients has never been shown to be causally linked (i.e. it seems more likely that something about their brain tissues makes aluminum build up, rather than aluminum buildup causing Alzheimer’s).

Microplastics, similarly, aren’t dangerous on their own, but there are toxins that can be trapped in the body by them. And since cellophane is made of dietary fiber (cellulose), it’s not the kind of plastic anyone should be worried about.

There’s also wax paper and silicone parchment paper, the latter another “plastic but not an issue” plastic. (Silicone is basically sand, chemically.)

there have been dozens of idiotic and borderline infuriating replies and tags on this post since it broke containment and this is literally the only worthwhile one. acid reflux resolved

fun fact: firefox can get around many "oops you already read 3 articles this month" paywalls very easily

step 1: click the reader mode button in your address bar

step 2: f5

that's it! that's all the steps.

hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS

somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope

PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply

this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.

you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.

This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.

so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.

I just tried this on my mom's crappy old laptop that I was using only for its disc drive and it was surprisingly successful

Just did this on my old laptop and it actually seems to be running better

Give credit to the 30-year-old who worked on this for free and offers this service for free!

WHAT?!

I study graphic design and my tutor recommended and used this in his classes at art college last year, it’s so good it has SO many features for free, I really recommend it, even if you’re just trying to learn the basics of PS, such a wonderful thing <3

You know that thing where you see a gorgeous view (left) and try to take a picture of it, but your phone camera is a joyless fucking nihilist who refuses to see the beauty in anything and only sees this (right)

As a more thorough demonstration, today the road looked like this:

(blatant paint-over of my own photo, because I needed you to see what I saw)

And my phone camera made it look like this:

ok im gonna explain it anyway bc of this sO HERE IS MY QUICK BREAKDOWN

[please note my breakdown IS android specific bc that's what i have, however i know that the settings should be SIMILAR for an iphone. i just couldn't tell you the exacts]

GO TO THE "MORE" SETTING (should be visible as soon as you open your camera)

GO TO "PRO"

PLAY WITH THE ISO, THE SPEED (shutter speed) AND THE WB (temperature)

a HIGH ISO will help brighten your photo, a LOW ISO will help dim it.

a FAST shutter speed will DARKEN your photo, a SLOW shutter speed will make it LIGHT. this will also have an effect on how your photo takes!!! the slower your shutter speed, the steadier you need to hold your phone or it WILL become blurry, but it allows more ambient light and is thus recommended for taking photos of, say, stars. a fast shutter speed is how you take photos of objects in motion, but it lets almost no ambient light in (this is where you would want to up your ISO!)

the WB/temperature will shift your photo from being more warm toned to more cool toned.

here are some examples i took of the same sky. each photo has a different ISO, Speed, and WB:

and here is a much more subtle example where I was messing only with the ISO and shutter speed:

finally, here is one compared to a photo I took at the same moment with just my phones normal camera:

(you can REALLY see the sun rays peering out over the clouds in the photo on the right, which is what i was trying to photograph!)

As you can see, the difference are HUGE even when they're subtle!!!

your regular phone camera SUCKS but it DOES come equipped with the right settings to take gorgeous photos. you just have up know what to look for!!!!!

[sidebar: NONE OF THESE PHOTOS ARE EDITED BTW!!! this is exactly how the phone took them!!!]

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

If you use Firefox, you can go to the about:config page, search for "media.mediasource.enabled" and double click on it to set it to false. After you restart Firefox, all youtube videos will load entirely even when paused! This also affects other streaming websites :)

There's more to do actually, now

go to About:config find media.mediasource.enabled and toggle it to false find media.cache_readahead_limit and change it to 9999 find media.cache_resume_threshold and change it to 9999

additionally if you'd prefer mp4 to webm

also in about:config, find: media.encoder.webm.enabled media.mediasource.webm.audio.enabled media.mediasource.webm.enabled media.webm.enabled and toggle them all to false

note! this will limit video to 1080p

and use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dont-accept-webp/ to kill WebP Fuck Google
