  • Assuming the question implies an inclusive OR, I know all the answers too : True, True, True, True, True, True, True, True.

  • I don't mean to sound insensitive to your culture, but there are other activities that can be done outdoors, can you tell your country please?

  • Blood clotting's mini-boss

  • In Radiohead's Sit Down. Stand Up, at the end, Thom repeats "The raindrops", but I kept hearing "Power Rangers". I searched for it and found a lot of people in my situation, I was amazed at humans.

  • Technology Connections has in-depth videos about the workings of the dishwasher, so my armchair expertise make me doubt the expert's claim that we need tablets.

    Also, this reads more like a bland listicle than an helpful article.

  • Sometimes, I think science educators aren't political enough.

    Cleo Abram's interviews with Nvidia's CEO, Zuck and Sam Altman are her only interviews to date, and they all paint them in a good light without being critical of their work. I get wanting to make it to the top, but simping for the capitalist elite is just not a good look in my book, especially when science communication should try to minimize bias.

    I also remember her video about John Deere last year, giving the impression the company is only doing so much good in the world...

  • I mean, you kind of cherry-picked there. A third of an inch is...?

  • Photopea is a good alternative to Photoshop when you need automatic subject selecting and other powerful features. They have a very similar UI, but it's not FOSS and they want you to see ads or pay to use features repeatedly. Nonetheless, it is the best I have found for my use cases.

  • I know you're joking, but the spending went up when people stopped taking it, so the findings are pretty interesting, albeit not very surprising.

  • Lol! This is gonna feel random, but what is your mother's maiden name?

    What was the name of your first pet?

    And uh... where's your bank? Lol I'm so random.

  • Not exactly what you're asking for, but it felt really small world to me.

    I saw Anthony Bourdain on TV review a Bánh Mì restaurant in Vietnam and told myself I would eat there someday. Went to Vietnam, pretty much the first time I traveled ever. Went to the Banh Mí place. It was at night, there was a very long queue to get in, I waited in line and ordered. At the counter and on the walls, multiple snippets of newspapers and pictures of Bourdain with the staff and chefs. I sat down with my food, and as I started eating, I received a notification on my cellphone from my local news network at the other side of the world : Bourdain just killed himself.

    It felt very surreal. I was looking at all these pictures with the feeling I knew something all these people didn't yet.

  • Acquiescing while reading this, having never contributed to a project of any size and thinking I'm hot shit for having climbed to 4 kyu in Python on Codewars.

  • Yes, but you omitted all the croplands we use for feeding non-human animals.

    Poore and Nemecek estimate that 50% of croplands are used for human food, 38% is for livestock feed and 12% is for non-food uses.

    Also, if our goal is to find the truth in all of this, why be mean?

  • Doing things right the first time is certainly a tip I'll keep in mind. They probably would do a better job than me though, they are retirees having pretty much only cleaning and gardening as hobbies. And I'm not the best at both. Compared to my friends, I clean a lot, but compared to my close family, we're not in the same leagues. They are "dusting-the-fire-alarm" people.

  • You know what, didn't really think about this. I thought if I had to have professional help, it'd have to be a regular thing and it's not in my budget, but I'll look for that kind of service. I won't be able to tell my folks about it, but they won't know!

  • Yeah, thanks for that. I feel like I have a pretty high standard of cleanliness, after all I grew up with my parents, who are very nitpicky about it, but I never tell anyone I'm visiting that there is any problem with their own cleaning. Everyone has a life and their own responsibilities. I just wanted to see where the bar was for people.

  • Wow okay, must have been a really big house lol

  • Yeah, pretty much the same boat. Honestly I don't really want to invite them anymore because of it, but I can't shut my parents off. Maybe I could groom the cats ahead of holiday season lol.

  • I'd be curious about the grouping you do. I usually do the tidying before the rest what do you mean with cleaning at the same time?

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What are your standards concerning house chores?
