When I donate blood, I get 21.5€ compensation, I’m pretty sure the receptionist, the doctor and the nurse that are (in total) occupied for half an hour probably cost another 50€ pre-tax/social insurance. The equipment, lab-testing, transport etc. will probably cost another 50€. And I get a free lunch, that’s probably worth 5.22€. In total that’s 126.72€ or 148.5 USD. Double that for the blackness of the market to get to 297$ doesn’t seem too far off. I assume the prices in the image are retail prices, and not wholesale, so post-extraction.

Just add // @TODO find out why this crashes our application sometimes to fix that issue

The G in GNU stands for JPEG.

The W in Windows stands for worse, so good for you.

sounds like you are not working in social services, where you could be guilt tripped into working your ass off so innocent people don’t suffer. Just do your work as you’ve always done and drop the pencil after eight hours or whatever your contract says. It is not your problem if 3/4 of the work is not done. When the customers wait long enough they will make it your bosses problem.

And probably use your spare time to look out for another job, sounds like a company you would rather not work with.

At least Denmark and Canada had Leopard 2s in Afghanistan that were involved in combat. So maybe the “Brits” were just fancy Canadians.

It’s the other way round: I don’t know if it applies to this fella, but /we/ used ** // and __ long before applications knew what that’s supposed to mean. We’ve been using it even on devices that are _physically_ incapable of producing formatted text, so it was the readers responsibility to parse and understand what it’s supposed to mean. Back in those days we’d also type :'-( instead of 😢.

It actually annoys me that markdown got it all wrong, and thus applications using markdown do it all wrong as well:

*foo* should be bold, not italic
/foo/ should be italic, not just /slashes/
_foo_ should be underlined, but for lemmy that’s just another way of saying italic, underlining seems to be outright impossible.

Why? :'-(

I followed your advice and made a banana pie. But as I didn’t have any bananas at hand I replaced them with eggs. The pie had an eggy consistency and didn’t taste anything like banana.

Bad advice, 1/10, wouldn’t do it again.

Exactly has literally exactly the same fate as literally.

Oz or whatever strange body part comparison you guys prefer would also be fine for me. As long as it’s standardized between products.

With 100 gramms/millilitres it’s a simple guideline:

• <100 kcal: probably healthy
• 100-200 kcal: mostly ok
• >200 kcal: consume carefully

Of cause it’s fine to consume oils (~700kcal/100ml) but they shouldn’t be the major part of your meal. And sugary drinks are obviously bad for you, even though they’ve got less than 100kcal/100ml.

Not so hard to calculate. It’s still stupid though, that they don’t have to print the values per 100g, as they do in Europe. That makes it really easy to compare two products with different package sizes.

The value per serving is mostly useless, as a serving is just some made up amount, usually tiny to make the product look healthier. For example, a serving size of crisps could be 20g, which is not even a handful.

Man, these pesky doctors. They always forbid the fun stuff.

That’s why I always use password hashes as my passwords. So when some hacker steals the database, with all the clear text passwords, and look at my account they think somehow this password is still hashed and don’t try using it directly. My current lemmy-password is $argon2d$v=19$m=16,t=2,p=1$Mk9RTWNESzMyWVljUGo5RA$BiGKlhzFuiWA0N78KzEmCQ

But if the password is delicious and what is delicious that would mean that the password is “what”

Sadly that’s not how Djinns work in reality.

exclusive, absolute

Fine. You’re responsible now for every particle in the universes, the laws of physics don’t have control over them anymore. Planets will no longer orbit their stars. Electrons won’t repell other electrons, so things will just fall through each other. Unless you actively decide otherwise for each and ever one of the >10⁸⁰ particles. That’s a lot of responsibility for one person.

Thank you, finally someone is trying to bring some sense into what Frezik meant by “American coffe culture”. To me that’s still a pretty niche thing and not “everywhere” as they claimed, but at least I can acknowledge that it exists.

Yet I’m still not sure how much of that development is based in the US. We have had small rosters in my hometown all the time and not only Tchibo, but I guess the numbers might have gone up again lately and maybe the US could even have played a part in that trend.

Just as with Craft Beer, it’s not something the USA invented. We’ve had crafted beer in Germany all the time, and every little town had it’s own local brewery. We just didn’t call it “Craft Beer” it was simply “beer”. However, the general trend was going towards industrialized big brand beers and away from the old fashioned Dorfbrauerei in the late 20th century, with a lot of smaller breweries closing down. The US Craft Beer szene might have helped turning that trend around and giving small breweries a new fancy name for their old product to bring it back into the supermarkets.

My local butcher is closing after more than a century, my local bakery was replaced by a local chain a few years ago. Maybe the US can start a Craft Butchering and a Craft Bread trend next, so I don’t have to drive 2km to the next local bakery.

Who’s design again?

The Melitta machine cost 120 DM in 1965 which is ~270€ today, the Mr Coffee cost 40$ in 1972, which is ~270€ today. It wasn’t even cheaper, just later.

My kidney stones are imperial too.

There are 14 pounds in a stone.
