  • Baby chicks cost $6 at a supply store, but I can get a rotisserie for $5? What is the real cost of having chickens?

    Jump

  • So it all comes down to what the chicken's eat.I'm assuming with mealworms added to corn / legumes / other seeds should be a balanced diet. And if they are relatively free they can go hunting too.Do meat chickens still lay eggs, just not as many?

  • Yep, that's why I am asking of how much they cost for a regular backyard chicken coop.

  • It's English. There are sane languages who knows to call them lilac-onion, lilac-cabbage. Tho your yellow ones... They get to be called red - because it is a good deep dark orange dye if you boil the outer layers. (For example for Easter Eggs).

  • Home run models never go away. Even if you have some basic knowledge - generating some pictures, then manually editing it can save you days of work.Not everyone will give this up - and some people can't afford to pay for human labor to replace their missing skills.

  • Who would hold them responsible? They won't even publish documents thats even steps before actually getting accused and prosecuted and punished?The kid rapist elite has nothing to be afraid of. The DOJ has no power over them, while genuine US citizens are getting executed in daylight on the streets and human beings are held in worst condition than cattle.

  • You can avoid using it. You can dislike it - but llms are here to stay for good.Eventually they will figure out a better technology, but home run models not going to go away.They do empower people who are not tech savvy to do things - and to make things nobody would ever paid a professional to do or make.Some of that is obvious slop but there are things that deserve existing.

  • I know I will be in the minority - but I still believe AI has its place.It should definitely not replace pictures taken of food items - but it can do a light retouch job on the pic.

    Women 30+, how do you deal with all these symptoms? I've been dealing with all of this ever since turning 30 (am 32)

    Jump

  • Just to add: half of those symptoms sounds like a seasoned alcoholic.

  • Jucika - in the wave

    Jump

  • Some cultural reference:"A hullámban" means a bit more also: There were two 'water parks / pools' that had a wave pool. Usualy Palatinusz fürdő was referenced as 'hullám'- the other was Gellért but that was probably too posh for Jucika.

  • There are situations where it isn't: loosing the morher and baby at the same time - you look outside and there is this baboon making fun of it.

    But if you look at a Scrooge like situation it might poke someone in the right direction also.

    It would be more appropriate to be in a grim reaper costume in front of smoke shops / liquor stores. Nobody would raise an eyebrow. And that's still funny while being the good guy reminding people of the dangers.

  • Multilingual people of Lemmy who learned a language (or multiple) as adults, how did you do it?

  • Have you tried to give them american comic books? Or some very popular teenager adventure stories?It is hard to grab someone's interest if it's just schoolwork....

  • Appreciate the compliment!My accent is really strong and that won't change. I don't have the ability to do that.Interesting to note: I noticed that native US speakers actually struggle more to understand really strong accented second language English.They don't have a problem with the southern deep deep "crocodile hunter" English, but watch something with a very strong accented English - even some Ted talks - and they start to struggle.

  • At first glance it is really funny. But of course the people who were genuinely affected are the victims. And nothing funny about it.Reading the article I don't think the guy is actually 100 there. I believe he is struggling and just acting out - not that it is an excuse.

    Gillespie also stole £30 to £40 of cat food and litter from a local Pets at Home on March 26, along with food and drink from Sainsbury's in Llandudno on May 28, a court heard. He was ordered to pay £100 in fines, £100 in cost to the Crown Prosecution Service and £50 in compensation.

  • My second language was German - then I was forced to pick up a third in high school. It was English...I sucked in both those mainly because I didn't want to learn. I chalk it up for my undiagnosed dyslexia - that didn't help to make it fun at all.

    What made me to stick to English is: everything was English on the Internet, all the games and so on.Then I wanted to read some not yet translated book series so went to read in English. I wasn't speaking it.Then moved to the big old USA and now I'm 99% English only. I do understand some German but ohh boy did it move into passive knowledge...

    So when you have no choice you will learn. (Tho there are so many people who don't speak English and proud of it... That's the one thing I can't wrap my head around. How can be proud of your refusal to learn.)

    Edit: forgot to recommend something - I believe it is phenomenal in some cases: language transfer I tried the English to Spanish and it is amazing for a native English speaker - hut there is value for non native speaker also!

  • I do have empathy towards both people. It has to be a very strange situation. And even the sleeping offender is a type of victim.That's why my confusion about letting the situation get out of hand.Once is a single occurrence - twice is starting to show a pattern. Fourth time is negligence.
