It also makes amazing tofu. 20 min at 400 gives it an actual texture. No pressing or freezing required.

I hope they realize now we really should start.

I doubt any place will hire you for only one day a week. That will not be helpful for them.

You can’t do that in the US. To give you another ID they have to punch a hole in the first one, rendering it invalid. Otherwise everyone would just get multiple IDs and sell the extras to their underage friends.

So if I walked into a restaurant that specialized in a certain cuisine (choosing the right one out of hundreds is a skill, right?) and wrote down a list of ingredients, and the restaurant made me a meal with those ingredients according to however the restaurant functions (nobody can see into the kitchen, after all), does this make me a chef?

There’s still the issue of birds, which do not like these things in their airspace and, depending on the size, will absolutely either attack drones or be maimed by them. Also, helicopters and small planes often fly quite low. We haven’t had a great record with autonomous cars, but sure, let’s try autonomous flying drones. What could go wrong?

If you really are dizzy after a long flight, you probably shouldn’t be driving, especially in an unfamiliar car in an unfamiliar area. Maybe you were just being hyperbolic about the dizziness, but people can make the same kinds of mistakes driving while sleep deprived as while driving intoxicated.

I can’t imagine there would be that many people who would want to look like an actual child. 20-ish, maybe, but not 12. Think about it. You’d have trouble keeping a job because no one would take you seriously. You’d probably get harassed by cops if you tried to drive anywhere. Everyone would treat you like you have no experience or knowledge.

Trust me, I am one of those people who looks 10-15 years younger than I am. I don’t look nearly as young as 12, but I still do not enjoy looking young. I often feel alienated from my age group because they don’t see me as one of them until they find out my age.

From the stories I’ve heard from someone who worked as a flight attendant for 16 years in the 70s/80s, engines blowing out was and still is just a thing that happens sometimes. The big planes have multiple engines, so it’s not usually a big deal (losing one engine won’t cause a crash on its own). I do think this is mostly a case where the media jumps on the trending train, but Boeing should also get their shit together before they become responsible for preventable deaths.

I see your confusion. They could have worded this better, but it’s two grants being split between eight nonprofit financial institutions. My understanding is these entities will lend that money to communities to do ongoing infrastructure projects. The goal is “turning $20 billion of public funds into $150 billion of public and private investment to maximize the impact of public funds.” I don’t know how that part works exactly, but to me that doesn’t sound like a handout. Of course I would hope they would be held responsible for any mismanagement.

As for why they need to create a financial nework to do this: These kinds of projects can take many years and sometimes need ongoing financing. Apparently, when Obama tried to fund something like this, there was a lending bottleneck where I guess banks didn’t want to finance community infrastructure projects or something, so a lot of the funding just sat there until the grants expired. This is supposed to prevent that from happening.

Seems like the airline could have just… not over served him and none of this would have happened.

Edit: yeah it sounds like over serving alcohol may be a recurring problem for this airline:

“It said it bans between five and 10 customers each month for disruptive behavior, including intoxication.”

Plants and animals tend to have problems when they ingest too much salt, so it might be ok as long as they’re only going to spray this stuff over the oceans… As far as actually changing the climate too much, I doubt this method would really be capable of that.

I think a less invasive and probably cheaper-in-the-long-run option would be to make some kind of durable lightweight shades, launch them into orbit like satellites, and move them around remotely as needed.

I’m guessing the beneficial part will turn out to be the non-processed focus of the diet rather than ratios of protein/starches/fats.

It’s insufferable that the answer is always “build your own.” Lemmy assumes that every single person on the planet is an engineer with enough free time to design, build, and troubleshoot every device they own.

But what about a car? Cars are as smart as smartphones now, and you certainly wouldn’t notice the small amount of power needed to collect and transfer data compared to driving the car. Some car manufacturer TOS agreements seemingly admit that they collect and use your in-car conversations (including any passengers, which they claim is your duty to inform them they are being recorded). Almost all the manufacturers are equally bad for privacy and data collection.

Mozilla details what data each car collects here.

I started a free trial of Adobe stock. I forgot to cancel after the first month. They charged me $30 for the next month, ok, that’s on me. But when I tried to cancel during that second month, they said I had signed a contract to pay them for a year (I didn’t, all I did was sign up for the free trial) and I now owe them $165 to cancel the subscription. So in essence they were going to charge me $195 for one month of Adobe stock. That’s insane.

Unless you have so much pain that you’re unable to do even the most basic PT exercises, like me. PT did absolutely nothing, and it was $200 out of pocket for each stupid appt.

If they know how many years they’ll hold the rights, that information should be given to the consumer, i.e., “you will have access to this media product for at least N years.” Then the consumer can make an informed decision (is $24.99 worth it to own a movie for 6 years? Etc). Otherwise it’s just a gamble. Everything else you can rent (cars, tools, equipment, venues, clothing, dumpsters) comes with very clear temporal terms. Imagine if rental car companies could remotely brick your rental car halfway through your vacation.

Sometimes it’s fun to admit you do the thing and watch them awkwardly walk back everything they just said.

Lol I never said ignore it. Just don’t blindly pay without looking into it.
