Agreed on BMI but you’re missing the point on calories. If people want to lose weight the simplest way is to count calories. Run a caloric deficit, lose weight. Doesn’t get any more simple than that. It doesn’t matter if it’s not 100% accurate if it works.

I’m not happy about it either but they’re going to build the thing no matter what, at least there’s more nuclear power moving forward.

One disabled guy who posted about it got physically attacked and his glasses broken.

It needs to be retired honestly. Like you said, more often than not it’s used by smug racists. There are other, better words that mean the same thing like avaricious, miserly, parsimonious, or to keep it simple - cheap.

I was right there with you until you defended that silly word.

The singular is octothorpe.

Eh the context determines the need for proper grammar. Throwaway comments on Lemmy- fuck the grammar

Unlike many of these I’d heard it before but didn’t know its true meaning. It fits.

“… and if that don’t work, take it sleazy.”

Yes

My bendable glass screen is the shit. I’m never going back. It’s so small in my pocket.

My flip 6 is less than an inch wide folded with a case on it

I love my flip 6. I had a flip 5 which I abused with no case on it. Got a deal to trade it in broken as fuck for a 6 straight up. I would hate to go back to a regular phone. They are better in every way and the crease isn’t even noticeable after using the phone for a couple days.

You could get a used pc for cheap, doesn’t need to be powerful. Plug in in to her tv, then set up her streaming services on there and then set it up so you can remote into it.

My grandma almost fell for this. Asked my mom what to do. Mom almost fell for it. After an hour of freaking out and preparing to go buy itunes gift cards or whatever it was, my mom thought to call me. “Oh my god are you ok what happened where are you etc”

Uhh I’m at my apartment, getting ready for work.

Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam.

I don’t have a link but Comcast offered a get WiFi anywhere option for their customers where they could use anyone’s combination modem/router from Comcast to get online with their company credentials. This was (is?) impossible to disable.

Seems a lot to me for someone who rolled on the boss and was essential to his conviction.

The thing about making it a holiday is interesting. Everyone in the service industry would be forced to work, probably extra hours as well. Because here any holiday means people who are lucky enough to be middle class and above will be consuming, especially eating out or ordering food in.

I’d prefer mandatory voting like Australia but with ballots mailed to everyone automatically. Make it as easy as possible.

I’m assuming you’re in Germany? So envious of your labor rights there and in the broader EU.

We were allowed to donate plasma eight times per month. $25 first donation of the week $35 second.

Do you get paid for the work day? I used to donate plasma twice a week because that $240 a month was the only money I had. I stopped because now I don’t need that money and I work too much to have time for it.

If I got a paid day off work for every donation I would be there as often as they let me.
