Fat is usually stored in the body in the form of triglycerids. When fat is used, it’s usually not turned into glucose, but rather into fatty acids, that are then released in the blood and reach the cells that need extra energy, where they are used by the mitochondria to power said cells. The signaling that triggers this is in fact done by a bunch of hormones that do indeed circulate in the blood to reach the cells specialized in storing fat, called adipocytes.
Depending of what triggers the transformation of fat into fatty acids( a process called lipolysis), those hormones could be insulin, epinephrin, growth hormone, etc.
I’d go with Chants of Sennaar as a direct Steam or GOG gift. Granted, it’s not exactly patient gaming since it came out last year, but I found it had a charming and somehow retro vibe when I tried and enjoyed the demo, and it certainly is an original game concept. I suggest you try it yourself !
Thanks for organizing this giveaway !

You’re probably right, I have edited my comment to reflect this.

I think it has to do with atmospheric diffusion of the sunlight. Even if the photons coming straight down at you are blocked by the moon, a lot of them bounce around in the atmosphere and end up reaching your eyes. Kinda like when it’s not complete darkness at sunset even after the sun has gone over the horizon. Also explains why the sky is blue, since “blue photons” are better at bouncing around on the atmosphere molecules. See : diffuse sky radiation
Quoting form the Wikipedia article: Approximately 23% of direct incident radiation of total sunlight is removed from the direct solar beam by scattering into the atmosphere; of this amount (of incident radiation) about two-thirds ultimately reaches the earth as photon diffused skylight radiation.
Edit : probably mostly has to do with your eyes adapting to the luminosity and non linearity of light intensity perception by our eyes. See posts below about Weber-Fechner law of perception.
Edit Edit : This is an intersting read. The TLDR is it mostly has to do with our eyes slowly adapting to the amount of light they receive, and during totality, light bouncing from beyond the umbra comes into play.
Could you elaborate on why zero-k is better than BAR in your opinion?
Front butt
They look like they’re all gonna shoot themselves in the face with a smile on said face.
Is this Netflix butchering one of the greatest animes of all time all over again, or will this be good?
SmartTube is what the YouTube app should be. I’ve been using it for I think 2 years now and it works like a charm, is super stable, offers loads of customization options, and the interface is better and more complete than the official app. Truly a must have for any Android tv box.
It wouldn’t necessarily be surprising, but I’ve used both and I honestly couldn’t say which one I prefer. That’s why I hoped you would elaborate.
That’s -20°C at the peak of the heat wave when it should have been -55°C, for my metric brethren.
I love that it implies that they also have illegitimate interests that they’ll still try to weasel in because 🤷💩
The nine-dash line is bonkers. It covers about 2 millions square kilometers of sea all the way to Malaysia. This is akin to the U.S claiming all of the Gulf of Mexico (1.6M km2) as territorial waters and then throwing in part of the the Caribbean Sea for good measure.
Yeah no nicotine needs to go too. You shouldn’t be allowed to sell a product that is pretty much guaranteed to make you an addict for the rest of your days. And that’s pretty much what the e-cigs makers have been doing, targeting younger customers to ensure they never run out of addicts even after old fashioned tobacco smokers are gone. The only benefit of nicotine is to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms. Vape nicotine-free juice if you enjoy it, but nicotine itself should only be sold in pharmacies to people who are already hooked.
According to the FTC, more than 99% of people who join an MLM end up losing money. It’s pretty evident it’s just a scam, where the only way you can end up making money is not by selling something, but by enrolling enough people in your downline, thereby defrauding them. I mean just read the Wikipedia article, or watch this episode of Last Week Tonight .
It’s true they would probably be more useful to the average keyboard user than say the scroll lock key, or the fucking copilot key. But to be really useful, they would have to be easily accessible without moving you bands, or else it’d just be faster to use a shortcut. Keyboards with macro keys do exist so maybe get one and map them to CTRL+C/V
