  guar gum, xantham gun, locust bean extract, etc - all emulsifers or texture additives used to mask lower product quality.

  Even the expensive stuff, Ben & Jerrys (sold out to PE a while ago), boutique brands at Whole Foods, and even Kirkland premiun have the same list of bullshit.

  The only brand I can reliably find without them is Haagen Dazs.

  The kids on my street do come and knock, but they don’t know what to do then. The just stand there waiting - I’m like “what do you say???”, and they go “uhh, thank you???”

  C’mon kids!

  LOL, yeah. Capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A more complete explanation for the removal of those Russian Linux kernel maintainers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When Russian citizens understand there are direct consequences to them, Russian citizens stop supporting Putin’s actions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A more complete explanation for the removal of those Russian Linux kernel maintainers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  SPY returns an average 12%

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  1. pay off high interest debt

  2. top off your emergency fund so you don’t run into expensive short-on-money situations

  3. take care of deferred maintenance on your car or house that might turn into an expensive repair

  4. If you have an employer sponsored 401k, increase the contribution amount to get 10k more tax free into it before the end of the year and use the $10k cash in hand for expenses.

  5. Open a roth IRA and contribute the maximum amount you can (which may vary based on your income)

  VT, VTI, and SPY are good broad-market funds with good historical growth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I agree the tax needs to be visible in the price to be effective

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[USA] How can sales tax brackets affect purchasing behavior when prices are pre-tax?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good argument for the price inclusive of tax to be the price shown.

  I think it’s fairly uncommon for sales taxes in the US to be intended to incentivize behavior - moreso, they are for funding local government and higher taxes are placed on things that are politically palatable in local elections - hotel rooms or restaurant/alcohol sales come to mind.

  So I just don’t think we’re well practiced at mechanisms that make them work as a point-of-sale incentive, and changing the way a single class of items are priced would be complicated and surely receive pushback from retailers and the industry involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an interesting possibility - is there any data to support it?

  Here in Georgia the fight is in the center, for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When and why did democrats begin supporting fracking?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s good is that it might get them in office so they can continue making incremental progress.

  I got a heat pump this year because of the $3000 tax credit they passed - no chance of more incentives like that under Trump.

  Global regulatory efforts to eliminate heavy metal exposure may be part of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excretion-related thermodynamics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about relative energy (energy per mass) - if poop is less energy dense than the protein/fat of your tissues, excreting it should increase your energy density

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨/Politics starts banning any mention of the Democrats complicity in the Genocide in Gaza⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI, readers of /politics are very familiar with Linkerbaan and his nonstop hammering of a single wedge issue from a single narrow viewpoint. To be honest, I believe the mod made the correct choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if the total fertility rate drops and stays below global replacement rate, will humans disappear?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We are currently overtaxing natural resources, human population cannot grow unbounded without many unpleasant consequences. To me, it’s not a problem if we reach a steady state or even start a slow downward trend.

  But, we must turn away from “line goes up” methods for measuring success, which are pretty deeply ingrained in most of our economies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 0.3 quarts extra too mich oil in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you also do this for the container you drain old oil into, you will be able to see if your car is starting to shown signs of oil consumption issues.

  E.g. if you know you fill with 3.7qt, and you drain less than 3.7qt, you know you need to start checking the oil level every few fillups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 0.3 quarts extra too mich oil in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This kind of neglect of proper maintenance is why it started burning oil at 100k.

  If you want your engine to last, you change the oil every 5000 to 7500 miles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks about CPUs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They called the box with all the tubes in it that executed instructions a “CPU”; memory, CPU, and IO subsystems were distinct and well-defined.
