LED adhesive strip lighting for the back of my TV. Back lighting is super soft on the eyes and with color changing you can incorporate the color to match the mood. Playing Zelda, green. Watching sci-fi blue/purple. Halloween content, orange. Etc
Nah, this was a concession both Democrats and Senate Republicans were asking for. They hope to have a full budget deal finished before a new administration so there's a clean slate for either incoming president
Focus on progress that has been made, solutions to the climate crisis have been growing exponentially over the past decade. And it's not a binary issue of everything is sunshine and rainbows vs we're all fucked. There's more of a spectrum. Also remember the past environmental successes we've had with like acid rain, the ozone layer, leaded gas, mercury pollution. We've come a long way.
Making any progress, no matter how small makes the future just that much better than it otherwise would be. Yes, systemic changes out of the control of anyone on Lemmy are needed, but if say every person on Lemmy worked towards reducing their own environmental impacts that could have huge ripple effects in the economy of the green transition. Just plan out pragmatically/realistically how much time, mental energy, and resources are worth it to you.
A lot things that individuals can do to help with the climate crisis often also have personal benefits like long term financial savings, less pollution exposure, healthier plant-based diets, etc.
Yes! The biggest factor with body weight is calories in vs calories out. Foods with volume and mass but fewer calories displace calorie dense foods. Even as simple as substituting popcorn vs potato chips is huge on calorie savings. Protein and fats (ideally plant based) can also help you feel full longer than say simple carbs like potato chips/white pasta.
I highly recommend Harvard's Nutrition Source for science-based nutrition info and recipes, the language is very accessible too!
When there's more people who want to buy homes than there are homes for sale, the power dynamic is still in favor of the sellers. Sounds like this could potentially favor more experienced buyers/hedge funds over first-time home buyers. If sellers don't want to cover fees for buyer's agent, then that's more a first time buyer would have to pay upfront.
Agreed! This is just the beginning, I'm convinced this was the plan all along for most smart devices. I will make an exception for products that can be conveniently operated when an account/app is optional at least.
I echo the other commenter and recommend speaking with a "registered dietician" (RD degree) about your personal nutrition goals.
Calories in/out, physical activity levels, and genetics are three of the biggest factors with blood cholesterol levels. Would you overall eat fewer calories if you switched to low fat dairy? Maybe then it's a decent strategy for you.
Harvard's Nutrition Source is a great educational resource about nutrition that is science based and uses accessible language.
Am I missing something? There is nothing new in the article. It's just contrasting Harris' Senate record and 2020 primary stances with the pragmatic political compromises that the Biden-Harris administration has made over the past 3.5 years because they had to deal with getting things through Congress. Of course the compromises made with Congress are going to be more to the right than what Harris has previously advocated for as her ideal stances, that's what politics is...
Creativity comes and goes. I don't like the internet's culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back
I get this post is a joke, but PSA in case anybody is considering this new tide pod challenge... Swallowing batteries will fuck your shit up in life altering ways.
Already has been. The "slow down" in EV sales is almost entirely from Tesla and I'd guess a lot of that is from how disliked he is by the main demographic of people buying EVs
The Ioniqs have much smaller screens than the EV industry average, and many more physical buttons than industry average. The only time I really touch the touch screen is related to the Android Auto GPS/Google Maps, or very rarely I'm fiddling with a setting in my driveway.
There is a noticeable difference in EVs with AWD vs FWD, because the drive wheels all have independent motors. More motors= more power. As other commenters said, the main other consideration is if you have snow.
We've really enjoyed our Hyundai Ioniq 5 crossover SUV. It has a ton of leg room (I'm 6'2" and can fully stretch out my legs), 300 miles of range, and more acceleration than any car I've ever owned. The cost of charging at home is about 70% less than we were paying for gas, plus there's almost no maintenance needed (e.g. there's no oil to change). With super chargers on road trips Hyundai and Kia EVs can charge from 10%-80% in about 15 mins for slightly less than the cost of gas.
