Actually this one is sensible.

In the near future as more renewable energy is included in power grids the price of power will fluctuate depending on the weather.

The WiFi connection will allow you to configure your washing to be done when pricing reaches whatever point.

No, problems like “how dirty is this water” do not fall under AI. It’s a pretty simple variable of the type software has been dealing with since forever.

Berries like raspberries blackberries blueberries and even strawberries don’t have lots of sugar, maybe 5g per 100g. That’s one level teaspoon.

The lactose in milk is almost all consumed in the fermentation process, so maybe a few more grams per 100.

The rest of the sugar in those glasses is just sugar manufacturers include to make their product more appealing.

One of the problems with sugar is that it represents empty calories.

Given my age, weight, and activity levels maybe I need x calories per day, any more and I’ll gain weight. I also need protein and fibre and micronutrients. As you get older (like me) you get less good at extracting nutrients.

The challenge is, getting enough nutrients in few enough calories to avoid gaining weight.

In this context sugar is just dead weight.

I was going to say there’s a lot of variation within brands.

Most yoghurts have a “greek” variant with about 5g per 100g carbohydrates.

Honey is more or less flavoured sugar IMO.

Berries are a great combo with yoghurt, also chopped nuts.

I think you might be talking about vote fuzzing. This denies bots the ability to check whether they’re banned.

Votes shown are inaccurate by a few votes . You can’t check whether your vote was recorded by refreshing the page.

I don’t really understand what you’re getting at.

People often downvote without posting a comment as explanation.

I’ve noticed lemmy users do this more than reddit.

The explanation is simply that they don’t like the vibe of what you’re saying but don’t know how to respond.

Ah OK, that makes a lot of sense.

Somewhat related is iron man. The suit can’t protect him from g-forces. He would just be pulpy human goo in a can.

That said, I feel silly pointing out anything to do with super hero’s because they’re not intended to be realistic.

I think projectiles often push other crap in to the wound, like bits of clothing et cetera.

I learned this from movies so it must be true.

Just several years ago I was shocked to learn that you do CPR if someone doesn’t have a pulse, not a defibrillator.

It’s a very, very common misconception.

Since then those portable defibrillator units have shown up in public places, which has led me to morbidly wonder two things:

Firstly, how often are they used incorrectly?

And secondly, how do you know when you’re supposed to use it? I suspect the answer to this one is “the EMT on the phone will tell you to” but… IDK it would seem unlikely that most people could do something like that in an emergency.

I guess in the before times when a computer updated a monitor it was probably important.

Oh man. That really sucks.

I really liked this series until a few moments ago.

That woman has been through a truly harrowing experience in her 20s and they’ve just dumped on her again.

This is just plain untrue.

In all cases you need to drive to the conditions. Observe your circumstances and adapt your behavior accordingly.

3s is a good yard stick, but there’s plenty of situations in which it is not the ideal safe distance.

At 110km/h that’s about 90 metres. Every idiot around is going to try to move around you to take up that spot. Being overtaken by idiots is unsafe. This is just one example, there’s plenty of others.

It depends.

On a well developed well maintained “freeway” with multiple lanes, shoulders for break downs, gentle curves, et cetera it’s common. 3 car lengths is more common here I think.

That said, on a “highway” (interstate?) without everything listed above I aim for 2 seconds, which is about 60 metres at highway speed.

I used to think that but honestly now I avoid it where I can. Like between a wall and cornice a sash brush is fine. Removing switches like like fittings and switches is better than taping too.

Someone will be asking in a moment to tell us that this is shitpost community, some people are too uptight, that its dark humour, and that we should just block the community if we don’t like it.

Only a child can find things like rape and suicide funny, because they lack the emotional depth to understand the ramifications of these concepts.

I think that’s pretty much what we have now.

The power & wealth imbalance is the same anyway.

The wealthiest man in the world is installing a God king. It’s a perversion of democracy.

Hah.

Firstly, I wasn’t complaining.

Secondly, I suspect I’ve touched a nerve. Are you the fieflord of some Alexandrian repository of enlightened content and discord? Do you find it fulfilling?

Because modding online communities is a huge waste of time for anyone who isn’t desperate for validation.

I’ve been thinking about this lately.

You’re right in that there’s no central “authority”, but lemmy has become very centralised with all the content on a few big instances in fiefdoms controlled by a few mods who seem to be weirdos with too much time on their hands.

I guess the benefit is, if an instance or a mod does something really egregious there’s the potential to just move to another instance.

I think we need another few iterations of exodus from other platforms because of whatever shitstorm for lemmy to develop its own vibrance.
