I'm surprised to see all the replies about the McDonalds app and how its actually a great deal.

Most companies are doing this now, and giving free food regularly as an incentive to keep using it.

Why would these companies spend money to keep us using the app, and keep it installed?

The truth is, they make far more off selling your data then they spend giving away food periodically. Look at the permissions the app needs under the guise of "making it easy to tell when you are near a McDonalds so we can start cooking your food!".

Lemmy is supposed to be better about privacy and such than this.

When I was looking for a cheap used car a few years ago, I just wanted something simple. I was only concerned with its gas mileage and that I could repair it if it broke down. Reliability is important but often is influenced by anecdote.

Anyways, luckily I wanted a manual, which are often the most basic version of a car, and I found a barebones Mitsubishi mirage that was years newer than the comparable american car for the same price, with less miles, and gets 40+ mpg.

Why? In my opinion, its cause the interior looks identical to any cheap american car from the 90s, old style radio and all, and a 3! Cylinder engine. Everything my wife hates about this car is a positive to me: simple, efficient, cheap. She things its ugly of course.

I think what the complaint here is, is that no American car company makes a simple, efficient, cheap car. They aren't even trying to, and its extremely obvious.

My point here is, I hope they make them as cheap as they can, thats what I want.

You phrased it backwards, 12 of 13 contained lead but you said 1 of 13.

Probably a typo!

He wasn't sentenced, he died before he could go to trial or accept a plea deal, but there is record of a 6 month jail sentence being offered to him.

This is only logical if Neuralink is the only company doing this, but they are not.

Even the cofounder of Neuralink split off to make his own version of the company that puts safety first, and is working on a noninvasive (meaning doesn't damage the brain by design) version of the same technology.

Good to know, thank you for sharing!

Closest I ever got to construction work like that was working for about a year as a residential painter, and sometimes would work alongside other contractors.

I really need to make woodworking/carpentry my next thing to learn about, plenty of places in my house could use the work.

I picked the first resource off duckduckgo, read through most of it and it lines up with what I had thought.

And then here is about b12:

I dont really have a leg in this race, it does seem like throughout this thread you do showcase a lot of working knowledge.

Gotta say its confusing figuring out what the actual issue here is in coming to an understanding.

Can I just ask for clarification?

You: here is furring strips being used as support, with a screenshot

Other Poster: the things you are referring to as furring strips, are actually not furring strips

You: Thats what I said in the first post!

Aren't you agreeing here that you are mistaken on what a furring strip is?

Its not fair to say black people are bad because they commit more crime per capita, because the reason they are doing so is not because they are black.

Are you saying that people just dont understand why men are raping women? What's the thing we should be talking about then?

I think its possible you meant b12? Its not found naturally in anything besides meat from my understanding but it is synthetically added in some common vegan staples like alternate milks

It sorta sounds like a copout but being vegan on a day to day basis means checking what is in every little thing you eat or drink, I mean literally checking labels and searching ingredients. And then you have to apply this thought process to every other area animals are used:

-Bath supplies -cleaning supplies -clothing/shoes -transportation ...and so on.

Best advice is to just pick whichever area you feel most knowledgeable or capable in, and become "vegan" in that category.

I'm not even entirely vegan, although its mainly because I'm still learning a lot about all the different ways animals come into our lives without realizing it.

P.s. almost forgot the parts vegans split on in some occasions, like with sugars or honey.

Give Michigan a chance! Sure winter sucks but it doesn't really kill like the heat, I think?
