Why are vitamins named the way they are? (A, B, C, D, E and so on)
They were labeled alphabetically based on when they were discovered. Also, Vitamin D's label was a misnomer as it's converted into a vital hormone needed for the body to properly function.

The coverage on BRICS is heavily dependent on where you live. If your in the US or an allied country, it's best to keep it quite I'd think

What console do you still turn on from time to time today?
My N64 to remind myself how amazing Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart and Army Men: Sarges Heroes are, especially for when they were released. I also have a modded XBox which has 20+ games on it and some older films on it. Playing modded Halo is always a grand ol' time and Fuzion Frenzy is a stroll down memory lane for me.

What's one thing you've always wanted to learn, but haven't had the chance to yet?
I've always wanted to learn how to grow mushrooms. Hopefully one day I'll have the time + money to do it.

[@lemmy](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy) Hi I am planning on joining Lemmy however I was reading about some privacy issues with the platform. I am going to share some of them and what do you think about it?
If you're coming over from Reddit, you'll have less privacy worries here. I see the admin transparency as refreshing, but apples to apples Lemmy is a more private platform. You'll never have to navigate ad's or adjust to alterations in the initial game plan for Wall Street investors either!

GPU Passthrough Advice
According to GPU Check, the RX570 was able to run games at 1080p and 144 Hz on a 24" ViewSonic XG240R gaming monitor. While not 180Hz, it's comparable. The RX570 has recommended resolutions of 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or 3840x2160 as well. It seems like it's a solid choice based on your needs and isn't insanely expensive either.

Train derailment in Williams, AZ
With the crazy number of trains that use that track daily plus the condition of rail lines in the US, it was only a matter of time. Hopefully it can be prevented before a derailment involves something hazardous.

I understand the idea here but I recently learned TV's use more energy each year compared to crypto mining in the US. Also, consider the energy used by MasterCard and Visa, it's massive and actually would be reduced if done on the blockchain. Just some food for thought.

Arizona Restricts Home Construction in Phoenix Area Amid Lack of Groundwater
Reply in thread
The Yuma area of Arizona only produces lettuce in winter as the Salinas Valley isn't capable of producing veggies on the level needed for the country that time of year. Other than that, lettuce and most other veggies are from the Salinas Valley 3/4 of the year.
On golf courses, it's the number of them which is obscene. Also, seeing it's only the wealthy who are able to use them is another frustrating part. City sports fields are open to everyone while many golf courses have memberships. The amount of water it takes to upkeep a course is wild but doesn't compare to ag for sure.
A 1/4 lb of beef takes roughly the same amount of water the average American uses showing for more than a month. Which blows my mind on soo many levels.
Water is life and we need to make moves to protect it. Thank for the work you do! Do you think charging cattle farms appropriately for water and removing some golf courses is a good place to start?

This song always helps me realize how being upset is really nothing more than a barrier to clear thought and working past differences. Great jam to boot too!

What is the most secure OS?
Reply in thread
Interesting, I went the other way around. I started with a similar setup as is discussed in the post before switching to Graphene. Google has Android setup in such a way it allows it them to navigate around restrictions established on the device. I wanted to install a privacy focused ROM so I would truly have control over what information Google can access, as it can be fully sandboxed with Graphene. Does suck to see the founder of Graphene is kind of a dick. Not to sure if this reduces the privacy and security Graphene provides, what do you make of Louis Rossmann's video? Seems to me as if he swapped his ROM due to customer service issues and not the code.

I mean, some of the top brass in AI are asking for all AI development to be paused so this can be discussed in more detail. But the request seems to have fallen on def ears or money hungry corporations, at least one of the two for sure.
