I hate soft close lids because they close too slow. The flush is over before it's half down, which defeats the whole point of a lid. Sure, I could wait an extra 30 seconds, but at that point why not just do the soft close with my own hand?
I find the premade mixes from Birdseye (sold basically everywhere that has frozen food) to be a pretty good lazy way to get a big meal. Usually a decent mix of meat, veggies, and grain, but the whole bag (3 servings) is only like 600-900 kcal. Sometimes it feels like an obscene amount of food for the calorie count.
I just used an online calculator. It said something like 1500 kcal a day for my activity level to maintain weight.
I don't really count calories, but I do look to get a general idea of what a meal or a snack is. Sometimes I'm way over, sometimes I'm way under, it's all about balance and being in the ballpark.
I use a CC, so I really don't give a shit if someone steals my number.
Last time my card got skimmed it was $0 and <30 seconds to fix, including hold time. They don't fuck around when you're reporting stolen info, because legally it's their money, not yours.
I averaged in the ballpark of 12 miles a day for over a week when I visited Chicago. Woke up around 9 every day and basically didn't sit until 9-10. I was sore for a while afterwards.
It's funny because if Linux was where it is now, 10ish years ago, I probably would have stuck with it. All I cared about then was basic computering and gaming, both of which are well handled at this point.
Problem is now I've spent a decade honing my skills on specialized programs that don't have good replacements, and realistically even if they did, compatibility and years of learning specific programs have locked me in to Windows.
I’m about to try to find tv dinners that taste good or something. I legit starve sometimes because I literally can’t eat it.
Impossible has some vegi-based microwave dinners that are about $6 a pop at Walmart, and are absolutely fantastic. The "chicken" ones are a bit high on the sugar content though.
Here it's Popeye's... which they seem to have at least maintained a decent quality/price ratio. Their wait times are atrocious though.
Zaxby's is even worse, but they at least have a big enough parking lot to stay out of the road. That line has taken a half hour to move up 1 car length before.
I think it was only 3 when I first signed up, so that's an improvement. They probably hit the ones most likely to honor takedown requests, but yeah 190 sites is more than 10. $9 is more than $0 too though, so it's a balance.
I wonder how many sites like this actually exist. Probably over a thousand would be my guess.
Wind is finite, and there has actually been research done to estimate the impact slower winds would have (a few degrees iirc), it's just that this is massively offset by the pros of using wind.
Tesla is getting hit hard and fast. I watch car news and it's still mostly manufacturers announcing new model years that are significantly more expensive than before.
Housing really became an investment in the late 80s to 90s, that's part of what drove the McMansion boom. Not for corporations but individuals, who are actually the largest driver of prices not adjusting. Don't get me wrong, corporations are buying an increasingly large chuck and this will be a problem, but right now it's not the big one. In my area there are an absurd number of houses for sale compared to normal. All of them are overpriced, almost none of them are selling, and yet they increase the list price every month like clockwork. These are individuals, not corporations. Until these individuals accept that the house they bought for $50k isn't worth $1.5m, prices will not go down.
I mean neither of those is a problem, the problem is that prices aren't adjusting to match.
But housing won't go down because it's become an investment, and cars won't go down because during covid manufacturers learned only selling expensive models increases profit margins.
If anything, high rates are good. They encourage saving and curb consumerism, which are both things Americans at large can use help with.
