Must've been a REALLY old one. I'm old as dirt, and they've taken mere seconds all my life. Even fast TVs now take longer to show a picture than the console ones we had when I was a kid, although I did see some from the 50s and 60s that took quite some time.
And no thank you, I'm not going to do all that. I don't care enough about any shows to go through all that hassle. I just want my TV to work without extra expense, and I will complain when it doesn't because I hate big corporations and I want them to fail.
I even hate how Windows tries to determine which monitors are in use, so if I turn one off it sends everything to the other screen. Just literally be a dumb thing that displays output, please, don't try to think for me.
Weed has helped my husband so much with his chronic back pain as well as his PTSD nightmares and insomnia. It may qualify as chemical dependency, but it sure has better side effects than anything else he's been prescribed in the past.
For me, I have an addictive personality, but weed has never held great appeal for me as a recreational substance.
I know the study isn't anything to get excited about, but preventing weight gain is itself a worthy goal. It's so easy for the weight to creep up on you.
