Next time add cheese tortellini 😋

Maybe I’m missing half the point of the Fediverse, but we have !wordle@lemmy.world already. What do we need this new one for? Especially when this is in .world’s new communities community

Maybe user replaceable phone batteries are making a comeback, but with the way my phone is pretty much sealed up I wouldn’t trust myself to not break it. I’d also be leery of a third-party replacement lithium battery of unknown quality (let’s be honest, that’s what you’ll probably end up with) charging right next to my head while I sleep. Saying that as someone whose friend had a lithium battery fire with her laptop.

Point is, the argument of “why would you try to save your battery by not using it when it has the same net effect of less battery?” is pretty short-sighted.

I keep my car charged to 80% to help with battery degradation, and here’s why:

• Most days, I don’t use more than 30% of my battery capacity (roughly 75 miles/120km). Even that’s high. I don’t care if that means I go from 100%->70% or 80%-50% when I’ll charge back up again overnight

• It’s not a permanent setting! If I do go on a longer trip, I’ll bring it back up to 100% and not sweat it!

From what I’ve heard, charging beyond 80% increases the degradation rate, meaning time spent at that level is an important part of the equation. If I keep my phone plugged in overnight and at my desk, I have a lot of time at full charge that I’m not really using, but if I know I’m flying that day or running errands all day I can pop it up to 100% and it will be a non-degraded 100%

I’ve had my S20 far longer than my car and never did limit its charge. It’s fine for me, but the battery is sure showing its age.

To get the sweet yet acidic flavor, I would try a small drizzle of something like red wine vinegar. It wouldn’t add much body to the sandwich, but it can really give a great flavor.

If you want more than meat and bread and don’t want tomato… Cucumber would add some body with a weak neutral flavor.

I remember when technology was fun and exciting.

And honestly, some of them do just translate (more or less). Like España vs Spain, pretty much any Spanish word that starts with es(consonant) drops the leading e when translated to English (estado, estudiante, and escuela for state, student, and school). We also don’t have the same o/a suffices. So that leaves spañ, except I don’t think any Spanish word ends with ñ (it makes a “ny” sound to bridge with the next letter, for those who don’t know) and Spain comes pretty darn close.

Not too mention that pronunciations and even alphabets are bound to change. Just how much do you want to stay authentic? Because if I start talking about عُمان (Google says that means Oman in Arabic, and looks about right from what I remember seeing on license plates there) I’m going to lose a lot of people.

I only see this comment since the parent was deleted, but… OP did write “interpretters” in the title, which is incorrect, which is kind of ironic in the context of the post’s topic

I enjoy the food and the recipes have a pretty good variety. They tout the fact that you can keep the recipes and make them again with ingredients you get the old fashioned way, but there’s always that one obscure ingredient (of which you only need a little) that makes it tricky. They expect you’ll have some ingredients on hand, like butter (lots of butter, actually…)

And of course, with the preparation of dividing things out, extra packaging, shipping, etc… It does get expensive. That’s a large part of what held me back from getting it routinely. I also remember some pricing/customer service shenanigans that were annoying but can’t remember what.

But when my daughter was in NICU long-term (doing well now!) a friend abroad got us a gift card or whatever to help us with meals. It was pretty nice for that unique time.

Oh, please. People who have never left their home in their entire life probably wouldn’t. Why would someone who stopped leaving their house lose their favorite? I haven’t lived in my hometown in 20 years, but I still have a favorite park from there. My vegan friend once said she misses lobster. Someone who lost their hearing could still have a favorite song.

Just because life circumstances change, doesn’t mean they have no memory of how things used to be.

Do me a favor: go to what was once (or still is) your favorite park and take a cool photo. Using your phone is fine, but I want you to take a few minutes to find a cool subject/perspective/composition combination. Maybe consider coming back if the sun isn’t at the best angle when you go there the first time.

Show me what you come up with!

Not anymore, it isn’t

And in two days, it will all be forgotten.

I mean, yeah unfortunately it probably will, but not because of the above

In the big picture, you made healthy choices that made you lose weight. That’s great!

You treated yourself to something that’s healthier than other sweets you could have chosen. Totally reasonable for the same reason a reasonable amount of dressing can be in a salad (makes things palatable so you’ll actually eat that healthy stuff)

But none of that makes chocolate-dipped strawberries a healthy option, just like a plate of buffalo wings and blue cheese isn’t healthy just because it’s served with a few carrot/celery sticks. There comes a point where the good is outweighed by the bad. Strawberries are pretty high sugar as it is, but being a whole fruit makes it overall a net good IMO (you get other vitamins and fiber and stuff). But that chocolate dip is pretty hard to seriously justify, and can tip the balance pretty easily.

Calories are energy. When more calories are taken in than burned off, that surplus is stored. Unhealthiness is largely linked to weight in this day and age.

Now yes, there’s a huge difference between 600 calories of ice cream and 600 calories of a well-balanced salad. But going to the original post, chocolate and nut butter is not exactly a health food or else I’d be at my healthiest from all the Reese’s cups I avoided handing out to kids at Halloween (they can have the Milk Duds). Adding banana certainly helps, but is there enough there to turn the whole package into something “healthy”? I have my doubts.

Don’t forget about the vice versa!

Brian… Johnson? 🤔

Sorry, I didn’t realize animal meme-ing was taken this seriously and one can be wrong. Now that I know it’s possible, I probably am

All snakes are danger noodles, except for cat snakes (which is a different kind of nope rope)

Nope rope. More specifically, a danger noodle

So why are you putting in so much effort into multiple posts about people in their early 20s having sex?
