Your question is really vague; I think that's one reason people are having a hard time answering. What do you mean by "lifestyle"? Can you give some specific examples of areas or ways in which you want to apply science to your everyday life?

Depending on who/what you ask, we're all already food, so -- done!

Not really, no. I wouldn't say I'm 100% aphantasic, but I'm really, really bad at "picturing" things in my head and my visual memory is also really poor.

Even if that weren't the case, I'm also uncoordinated, so I don't think my body parts would obey the pictures in my head correctly anyway.

I started making scented candles. I mostly started because I was trying to recreate a particular scent that we don't seem to be able to find anymore. I've gotten sort of close but not, like, super close. I liked experimenting with lots of different types of scents, though, and it's nice to always have something around to help get rid of cooking odors in the kitchen, freshen up a bathroom, etc.

I haven't made any in a while -- not for any particular reason, though, although it is harder to want to do something that involves being over a stove a lot during the summer. I really should get back to it soon.

I don't know how @HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world would classify it, but I'd classify it as pretty obvious JAQing off. Hope that helps!

Yeah -- if there's a fire or some other kind of emergency at your house/apartment and you're not there, that kind of sticker is really important.

Maybe the company I work for is going above and beyond then and just calling it that

That's what it sounds like to me. Well, actually, it just sort of sounds like your company is calling normal paid sick leave "FMLA". It's nice to have, regardless of what it's called, and very sad that it's not a given everywhere.

FMLA is unpaid leave. This is a major oversimplification, but it's so an employee can take an extended leave from work and return to their job afterwards. And even though it's unpaid, there are still a lot of limitations on it.

The full text of the "umbilical dirt" paper (cited at the end of the WaPo article) is freely available.

Yes, please. I'm very much in favor of this, too.

I don't blame them. I refuse to watch it, like at all.

That one is right up there for me, too. Wozniak is pretty much the biggest reason I'll try to catch the kids' Taskmaster. I do like Rose a lot, but I don't think her presence alone would counterbalance "show featuring a bunch of kids" enough.

Man, it's hard to pick. Probably 14, but then a bunch of them would be a close second for me.

What about you?

Taskmaster

Seizing the opportunity to mention one of the best websites ever: The Online Etymological Dictionary. Here are their entries on "rap".

On one hand, unfortunately we can't completely blame that POS for it, because (as other people have pointed out) it's been around for much longer. OTOH, I can find no other fault with your post.

I grew up in "very rural Midwest, USA". My hometown's population is less than 5,000, and it's the biggest town in the county. Some other have already covered the "invisible" jobs that are everywhere, but here are some more examples. If there are houses, there are realtors, builders, inspectors, insurers, landscapers, and service techs (think plumbers, electricians, etc.). Aside from the people you see working in stores, schools, hospitals/doctors' offices, etc., there are the people you don't see most of the time like cleaners and maintenance people. Even the tiniest little "town" usually has at least a gas station and/or bar, even though sometimes they're the same place. There are also police officers, sheriffs, lawyers, judges, and other city/county officials.

Someone mentioned truckers, and even though my hometown was nowhere near any sort of metropolitan center, some independent OTR truckers lived there. And speaking of transportation, cars/trucks are obviously important in rural areas, so you've got new and used car dealerships, mechanics, tow truck drivers, etc.

Here's a paper about self-replicating proteins, and this one is about self-replicating clay crystal structures, and how they might have been catalysts for biomolecule synthesis.
