- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 21 hours ago:
The “and noodles” belong to the potato.
- Comment on "Take the medicine for one week" is monday-sunday or monday-monday? 1 week ago:
Usually seven days, but the vet may want you to use up all of the medication rather than going by the calendar.
- Comment on How come lemmy.world won't allow me to connect while using NordVpn? I just got it and never seen anything on lemmy.world say anything about it. 2 weeks ago:
I use PIA because my ISP uses CGNAT and lots of services think that means I’m behind a VPN. Surprisingly, the VPN gets me around the VPN restriction sometimes. Go figure…
- Comment on How come lemmy.world won't allow me to connect while using NordVpn? I just got it and never seen anything on lemmy.world say anything about it. 2 weeks ago:
tl;dr people were posting CSAM behind VPNs, and they has to either deal with CSAM and ensuing legal issues, or block VPN traffic.
- Comment on Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal? 2 weeks ago:
At least he cites women, right?

I believe John Oliver covered this exact phenomenon in this video: youtu.be/TATSAHJKRd8
tl;dw Doctors assume women exaggerate pain compared to men (the opposite is true), in addition to ethnic (we’re all the same race, so I don’t use that term anymore) biases also discussed in the video.
- Comment on How do I do the Salvage Voice from Frickbear's 3? I have Audacity. 2 weeks ago:
Hmm… Never tried, but I assume you record yourself and then start applying filters/effects from the dropdown.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
Was going to write these exact words.
- Comment on How do I do the Salvage Voice from Frickbear's 3? I have Audacity. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know what that is, but you might want to switch to Tenacity. It’s a fork of audacity without the data collection. Its diverged some, but does everything you need it to.

I just meant it was big. I’m glad I moved out the next month.

I thought I read it before posting. Sigh… I’m such a bot
- Comment on Does anyone have access to academic articles? i need a research paper 3 weeks ago:
Every single time I think I know where I stand on fucking sharks…
- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 3 weeks ago:
Feel free to down vote me and called me a sleazeball douchebag troll.
To late! You already said we could execute and shun you (though I think the former sort of precludes the latter).
- Comment on Have you ever purchased or rented TV shows on Prime Video by season? 3 weeks ago:
If it can be taken away, it’s not ownership.
- Comment on Why are we so afraid of cockroaches? 3 weeks ago:
That is truly horrifying. I’ve had a yellowjackett wasp crawl in my ear and sting me repeatedly. I’d prefer the yellowjackett.
- Comment on Why are we so afraid of cockroaches? 3 weeks ago:
I lived in an apartment building with a big pipe leading to the septic tank. Cockroaches were always visible crawling in and out of the gaps between the concrete and pipe, living in the literal shithole. They carry so many germs!!!
At night, that’s scale the building and come visit us. I woke up one night to my cat staring slightly above my head. I moved a tiny bit, and a big mind cockroach jumped of my headboard onto my face, then onto the blankets, where my cat swiftly executed it (with no small level of skill and reflexes). That night left an impression on me.
I hope this explains both fear and being spooked by them.

I feel for you. That sucks to have your life thrown into chaos for a decimal number on the balance sheet.

Truth
- Comment on Is it possible to install a distro directly from online ? 4 weeks ago:
Almost every linux distro is better on RAM than Windows. That said, application memory management has gotten pretty sloppy over the past decade or so. I boot into MX linux (KDE) on my 16GB RAM laptop, and I am using about 2GB after boot. Once I load my password manager and open my browser (Librewolf with 18 tabs) I am sitting at 5.4GB used.
But! Even when this laptop had only 4GB RAM, it always ran MX fast and never complained about low memory.
- Comment on Is it possible to install a distro directly from online ? 4 weeks ago:
Sort of like GrapheneOS does, right? I don’t actually have GOS, but I thought the installer worked like that. Otherwise, there’s always the WSL that I think is how I installed Ubuntu (just as a test!!! I haven’t used Ubuntu since 2009) inside Windows 10 a few years back.

I absolutely hate commuting. If there’s one thing I learned in the spring/summer of 2020, it’s that not driving to work is awesome.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 4 weeks ago:
This. If I take another 1st shift job, I will make sure it’s 10hr shifts with the same week day off weekly.

Looks very cool
- Comment on I would like to play a calm game 1 month ago:
Life is strange was a fun series for me and my SO. We’re glass we played the oldest ones first, too.
OP, Do you like civilization or other “builder/planner” style games, like Cities Skylines, or Surviving Mars. Raji was kind of fun and laid back, too.

I was fed formula. I have no allergies.
- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 3 months ago:
We are in agreement

Not a historian, but wasn’t that boom hugely from war profiteering and the fact that none of the bombs went off in the USA? Our factories were all spun up and ready to go while most of Europe was rebuilding. Oh, and the decimation of German and Japanese industrial or technical powers.
But to your point, many graphs showing how much wages have flattened disproportionate to production do show that the period in question was a better time for the average worker.
- Comment on Is there a spreadsheet that doesn't mess with the data I enter? 3 months ago:
Format your cells to be text and there should be no data related behavior like you describe.
