Also known as snooggums on midwest.social and kbin.social.
These are the types of people Americans have always idolized. The Rockafellers and Carnagies were for the most part complete pieces of shit who abused employees and destroyed the environment for personal gain. They donated miney at the end of their lives to buy good will from the populace they fucked over.
Bill Gates is buying his goodwill right now.
Larger portions need less wrapping per lb, but more overall packaging than a smaller item. You know, like how more filling requires a bigger tortilla.
You are also missing the point about the multiple, larger, individually packaged parts. Like how one container from a sit down restaurant is less overall trash than a bag of multiple wrappers, ketchup packets, and a cup from fast food.
Also, the grease.
Requiring the app to be opened to sync would be annoying for someone who only uses the one app and just wants it to update in the background. Unless the two apps communicate with each other to sort out a priority, there isn't a way to determine which one counts from the app side.
it feels like FOSS alternatives would be 20 years in the future if put worked together on 2-3 alternatives instead of 20-30 disparate projects.
Honestly having 20-30 separate projects is awesome if merging in the creative bits from each were merged into the more popular ones more often. Sometimes there is a foundational difference that makes that a lot harder than plug and play, but to be honest not developing with being modular in mind is one of the biggest issues with any kind of development.
Offline mode will need a robust handling of replies and comments for content that has been deleted or removed if you want the user to be aware, especially if they have multiple comments on deleted posts when they reconnect.
That would actually be easier than the offline upvote feature. The issue with offline interactions is if you upvote in one app, but downvote on another, who wins?
Whichever interaction is sent 'last' when connected. No, the user would not have any control over this in the example situation,but to be honest it is a pretty minor issue with no real solution. The same thing could happen in an arbitrary order if you clicked different options on two different browsers at approximately the same point in time because web calls are not instantaneous.
If it can be oberved and explained then it isn't supernatural. Therefore nothing can be supernatural.
A ton of real things would fit in with all the supernatural stereotypes if we didn't already accept them due to science.
Smaller portions creates exponentially less waste. It also isn't frequently greasy western fast food waste that is inconvenient to carry around for any period of time.
Like I wouldn't mind carrying around a paper wrapper from a nice sandwich place, but fast food waste is greasy and likely to leak.
"We pay taxes for people to clean that up! Why should I spend my valuable time doing someone else’s job‽”
Same people that complain that taxes are the government stealing from them.
Yeah, but do they wolf down a half pound of meat plus fried potatoes and a half gallon of sugar water four times a day in Japan?
Great information that would be presented far better in another medium like a blog instead of broken into a bunch of separate posts. Same round peg in a square hole approach as twitter, which is why I never got into it.
Seriously, I was enjoying it immensely until the second time I had to click 'continue reading thread' or whatever.
Do art, woodworking, and other hobbies in a remote location.
They put up signs that the scan will be deleted after verification, but I am guessing that is a misdirection and a hash of the scan is saved like how fingerprint scanners work. Otherwise there would be no need for the scanners since a person is there to verify the scan already...
Do you portion it raw or cook first?
I haven't tried to butcher a raw turkey before, but the idea is tempting.
When tested in the real world, his device doesn't work as well and kills people because he refused to put a cover over the wiring because he wanted it to look 'cool'.
I read it, and holy shit it is fucking awful.
As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls. We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.
The most compassionate approach that balances the risks and benefits of reaching herd immunity, is to allow those who are at minimal risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.
Basically, the idea is that spreading an infection while health services was overwhelmed becuase kids didn't die as much. Guess who suffers when the health care system is overloaded? Everyone!
The goal of the covid policies was to keep hospitals and medical services from collapsing. They came really close in a lot of areas, and were even overwhelmed in places. Covid was already spreading even with the policies in place because people still ignored a lot of them, so the focused protection would have just made things worse.
It was a terrible idea.
We already make similar decisions for end of life, but without the option for a peaceful and painless end.
In the US at least someone can choose Do Not Resuscitate (DNR), which means medical services will not keep them alive when they are in a critical condition, but it also means they can't make the process easier or faster. People who are brain dead or unresponsive have whole legal processes around letting the person die or be kept on life support.
So we already have those concrrns addressed, but without the option of a swift and painless death.
Illegal does not imply immoral.
