No need to boil the ocean
  • Okay, sure, they skim it. But your original comment was worded a bit badly, the way I read it implied that whole milk contains 3.25% of all the fat that it should if it was truly whole, rather than that it contains 3.25% whereas true whole milk is just slightly more. Some people do believe that whole milk is actually 100% fat which is why I thought it best to correct you.

    I do wonder why they have such a precise requirement for whole milk in the US. Where I live, most whole milk sold is roughly 3.5 to 3.8 percent, and often they actually give a range instead of an exact value on the package. I could buy a carton of milk that says "3.8% to 4.4%" if I wanted to. My personal preference is "whatever's cheaper, but if whole milk isn't much more expensive, go for whole". Usually I use it in food rather than drinking it straight so the flavor doesn't matter as much to me.

  • Build up your fellow man rule
  • It's not for everyone (as noted by that other commenter), but when I was in a bad place mentally, I was listening to a podcast and one of the guys said that whenever he was in a really tough situation, he'd go for a 30 minute walk before making any decisions and then when he'd had time to consider everything, he'd often have some idea where to get started fixing things. So I started going on walks listening to that exact podcast. Helped a lot. It's a double whammy, too. Not only do you have time to yourself where you can think about things (in my case while listening to the podcast because I have ADHD and just my own thoughts all at once are a bit too much, but when I'm also listening to something, I get less of it), you also get the happy hormones from physical exercise and fresh air.

  • #1 Rule of USA Healthcare: discriminate against poor people.
  • I mean there's a fairly big amount of people talking about mental health disorders on TikTok. Many of them self-diagnosed. TikTok might well be trying to crack down on people talking about these things.

    For at least 3 of those it would seem that the word "cut" being used in conjunction with your words in a common expression is the common thing

    I like the cut of your jib

    You're not cut out for the job

    Smell of freshly cut grass

    Weaker: cutoff, bowl cut

  • How am I supposed to obtain income?
  • I've unfortunately become disillusioned with ableism. There are things I'll never learn that some other people find easy and there are things I find easy that some others will never learn.

    I deleted a 500 if not 1000 word stream of consciousness here, but the gist of what I was trying to get across is that unless you're interested or naturally talented in something, you'll never be good at it. Time and time again you'll see someone with a lot of experience in their field who has no idea what they're doing. It just doesn't come naturally and no amount of perseverance will change that. You can certainly become mediocre, just not great.

    I spent an hour or two per week for 9 years on drawing, same for singing. I'm no good at either, despite the fact that I was consistently getting practice. Diagnose and repair a car, even a modern one that a lot of old school mechanics would be afraid of? No problem and it's not even what I do for a living.

  • Reusable coat rule
  • I'll never become famous because I'm doing absolutely nothing to pursue fame. However, if I were to one day become famous, the paparazzi would be bored as hell because I wear the same outfit every day. Except when it's above 10 degrees, then I swap the jeans out for shorts and ditch the hoodie - but then that's my outfit for the next 5-6 months.

  • That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit
  • Or they could sell on Epic for $60 and just pocket more per sale because most players are used to new games being $60 anyway.

    Besides, Steam itself also unlocks more customers even at same or higher prices because it can be a pain to get EGS games working on Linux sometimes, whereas Steam's seamless. Maybe we're a non-existent market force, but personally I've been maining Linux for my gaming PC for 4 years and now about 2 years ago I deleted the Windows partition I'd only kept around because I had Forza on the Microsoft store rather than Steam.

  • Coming to Canada soon!
  • It's sad. They're not just luxury bones in the US either. National healthcare here in Estonia only covers dental until you turn 19 and then all you get is a tiny annual benefit, rest is out of pocket. I believe that most countries don't give adults dental coverage :/

    Essentially the health board is completely fine paying for cancer treatments, broken bones, or to have a suspicious mole removed. They'll subsidize prescription medication. But TEETH?!?!?! WHO NEEDS THOSE????!?

    How does Retold compare to the original?

    Yes yes I know, I could Google it or watch a YouTube video. But no, I want honest opinions from other people on what is, in my opinion, one of the last bastions of the old school Internet, where you'd get real opinions from real people.

    I loved the original, but never really played multiplayer - mostly because as a young'un I had no money, so I pirated it, but also because I just loved the campaign as well as experimenting with stuff that was never going to work as a multiplayer strategy.

    Do you guys feel it's worth the 30something euros it costs on Steam? That's not a lot of money, but more importantly, games take time to play and I have very little of it these days. And once I buy a game, I feel committed to play it.

    What part of your life could be improved with software?

    I think many of us have noticed the trend that modern tech just... Doesn't make things better. There's little to be excited about, because anything even remotely innovative is going to be filled with tracking, ads, etc.

    Let's say you had a bored software engineer or 2 at your disposal and the goal was to improve something you do often, by creating an application or website that isn't owned and enshittified by a megacorp looking to extract maximum short term value - what would your project be? Is it something you'd be willing to pay for, maybe with a free tier available?

    The reason I'm asking is that I'm a software engineer and in the current hard-ass market, while I'm lucky enough to have a stable job, I know that experience alone isn't cutting it anymore in the recruitment process. You need to be able to show side projects too. Plus I have an unemployed software engineer friend who also has no interesting projects to show. So if we make any money out of it, that's awesome. If we don't, it's just something for our github accounts. Probably the latter.

    PS: Yes, I know this is not a tech community - I want ideas from regular, non-techy people too.

    PPS: This doesn't have to be something in your personal life, it could also be something that would help you at work if you had it.

    How do you stop making excuses?

    I'm sure many of you are familiar with the issue of making excuses for everything. I don't just mean excusing your unfinished chores by saying "I have ADHD", I mean excuses and fabrications in general - at work, you might say you're nearly finished with a project, but really you're halfway done at best, at home you might say you couldn't start the dishwasher because of how angry your pregnant wife was at you for choosing the wrong program on the washing machine, so you were scared to start the dishwasher - fully ignoring the fact that you were supposed to start the dishwasher BEFORE even being confronted about the washing machine. The last one is a stupid example, but it happened an hour ago and it's a pattern I hate about myself.

    If you've had a similar issue and identified it, what has helped you improve yourself? I may never be perfect to the point I'll get everything done that I need to, but I'd like to at least stop making stupid excuses that just bring up fights that could've been avoided.

    How to set up Podman with NVIDIA GPU acceleration and macvlan networking on Gentoo

    cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/2871450

    > Getting GPU acceleration working is a common task for those of us running Plex or Jellyfin. There is not much documentation for getting the NVIDIA container stack to work with Podman, even less on Gentoo, plus there have been a lot of changes to NVIDIA's container toolkit lately. > > I have been fighting with Podman for a while now and just recently got it working 1:1 with my Docker setup. Gentoo may not be the most popular or easy to use distro but I documented it in case some poor soul runs across it searching the web. > > Feel free to poke holes in it or leave feedback.

    Welcome to a new unofficial Gentoo Linux community

    There was already a Gentoo community on Lemmy, however it hasn't had any activity in 2 years and since Lemmy's popularity has exploded in recent days, I figured it might be time for a new one with active moderation.

    Anyone reading this likely already knows what Gentoo is, but on the off-chance that someone completely unfamiliar with Gentoo clicks on this thread, here's a quick primer. Gentoo Linux is essentially a meta-distribution. You're given a package manager (Portage) that builds your packages from source, and some useful command line utilities. Other than that, you get your choice of everything - systemd or OpenRC? X11 or Wayland? Gnome, KDE or some other desktop manager? Or none at all? All up to you. Now of course, Arch provides you the same freedom of choice, but Gentoo's party trick is the local compilation - you can have the compiler optimize everything for your particular CPU's instruction set, or just leave out features you don't need in some programs.

    Swedbank: Uusarenduste broneeringute arv on tippajast 12 korda väiksem
    www.err.ee Uusarenduste broneeringute arv on tippajast 12 korda väiksem

    Kinnisvaraturg on selle aasta esimeses kvartalis selgelt rahunenud, teatas Swedbank värskes ülevaates ja tõi välja, et tänavu esimeses kvartalis tehti uusarendustesse kodu ostmiseks kahe aasta taguse tippajaga võrreldes 12 korda vähem broneeringuid.

    Uusarenduste broneeringute arv on tippajast 12 korda väiksem

    Paistab, et EURIBORi tõus ja kõrged kinnisvarahinnad on turuga 1-0 teinud. Isiklikult loodan, et nüüd tuleb mõningat hinnalangust - hinnad on juba naeruväärselt kõrgeks läinud Eesti palgataseme kohta. Arvatavasti hakkavad ka välja võetud teise samba rahad inimestel otsa saama, need olid suure tõenäosusega suures ostuhulluses ja hinnatõusus tähtsal kohal.

    www.err.ee Keskerakonna fraktsioon tegi ettepaneku algatada peaministri umbusaldamine

    Riigikogu Keskerakonna fraktsioon võttis esmaspäeval vastu otsuse algatada peaministri umbusaldamine. Keskerakond alustab sel teemal kõnelusi EKRE ja Isamaa fraktsiooniga.

    Keskerakonna fraktsioon tegi ettepaneku algatada peaministri umbusaldamine

    Paistab, et Eestis hakkab jälle poliitiliselt huvitavaks minema. Isiklikult ma ei usu, et nad hääled kokku saavad ja ma ei kujuta ette kes uueks peaministriks saaks, aga kõik on võimalik.
