lost-found

Based on your interpretation of some pictures? Or do you have actual data or facts to back up what you’re claiming?

So you’re complaining about them being more transparent in their pricing? Interesting take.

Your “proof” is incredibly lackluster. The only study it references was done on people with stage 3 kidney disease, and even the study states the conclusion might be incorrect.

Alternatively, I found a study that concludes that “consuming less than the 24-h water adequate intake may influence the risk of dysfunctional metabolism and chronic diseases” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6315424/

The study does state that the “adequate intake” is different for everyone, but at the end of the day you need to drink water. Spreading the idea that you don’t need to drink water is foolish.

Ahh yes because everyone knows heart attacks, strokes, aneurisms and burst appendixes never happen in your own home.

I don’t have much faith in the privatization of public services like this—see private prisons, private schools, etc.

> But it doesn't mean that these libraries aren't remaining free and open to the public.

For now.

You just described every other toaster out there.

You are just making up classes. In the typical low, middle and high class structure making slightly above median definitely places you in the middle class.

Ehh main problem with this is different people like their toast toasted to different levels.

In no world is a Chrysler 300 a luxury car.

Boring is not the takeaway I got from this.

I only carry my phone and my wallet when I go out. If I’m driving I bring my car’s key fob, no attached keys. I get in through my garage. If the power is out for some reason, I can grab my spare key hidden on the property. Why would I want to bring a physical, metal key around with me? Is it the 1900s?

One other red flag: your bank asking you for your username. At least for me, my bank would never use anything other than my real name.

If you hold down the spacebar in iOS, you can move the text cursor around pretty easily. You can also double tap a word to select it. Sometimes it is a little clunky though…

Nope, I take IIHS’s tests as proof. Nice try though!

Sure, there probably should be a category between 3 and 4 for Tesla: mediocre before and after. I’d prefer a car that is now safer over one that has always been mediocre, but that’s just me.

> Tesla pretty much never got anything but 5 stars in these 2 tests IIRC, not sure where that came from

You’re not recalling correctly. The Model S got an “acceptable” rating on the small frontal offset test in 2017: https://www.slashgear.com/tesla-model-s-again-fails-to-earn-...

As expected, Volvo is the king. I’ve always taken the “Teslas are the safest” with a huge grain of salt.

That’s not what you said, you said “tech nerds are really the only ones upset about anything that FB has done/is doing” which the article I provided proves that’s not accurate. Move the goalposts all you want, I don’t care, but it is certainly not only “tech nerds” that disprove of what FB is doing.

The majority of the public has a negative view on Facebook: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/meet-the-press/poll-america...

This was from 2019 and their public image has definitely not been improving. So to say it’s “only tech nerds” is a straight up lie.

Article discusses the high water requirements of growing avocados then goes on to talk about replacing them with pistachios—as if that a more sustainable solution. One kilogram of pistachios takes over 11,300 liters of water to grow. (https://healabel.com/p-ingredients/pistachios)

The average avocado is 150g but even if we were being extremely conservative and said 10 avocados = one kilogram you’d still be at less than 1/3rd the water requirements of pistachios: 3,200 liters vs 11,360.

What we really need to figure out is how to capture the wasted water from plants. About 98% of water used on plants is lost to transpiration: https://cid-inc.com/blog/transpiration-in-plants-its-importa...

Suicidebook, I mean Facebook rebranding to Meta. Talk about lipstick on a pig.

Probably will.

I get what you’re saying. The only reason I suggested looking into it is because they are seeing hugely promising results (70%+ reported improving symptoms) but you only have to do a few sessions. It’s not another pill you have to take each morning.

Of course, I am very responsible with my illicit drug use. Probably did < 50mg across several night and am not planning on doing it again for 6+ months. Good advice though for everyone!

Of course, anything taken in excess has risks.

You ever look into ketamine for treating depression?

Self medicated this past weekend and had some major breakthroughs with my long time depression/suicidal intrusive thoughts. Nice thing is you don’t have to stay on it unlike other antidepressants—I would never do a medication that you have to constantly take.

When young children start recognizing shapes, animals, colors, etc, you don’t consider that a sign of intelligence? What is it a sign of then?

Based on aesthetics and hardware design, the Series X is way more in line with Apple compared to the PS5.

Michelin is by far the market leader in tires, especially compared to Bridgestone.
