Relying on slave labor from Xinjiang isn't worth saving a few bucks on a tshirt

Edit: there's also all the toxic chemicals from lack of regulation https://healthnews.com/news/chemicals-childrens-clothing-shein/

Jealous y'all actually get any paid parental leave. over here in freedom land we force new parents to show up to work sleep deprived and neglect their babies. And Americans wonder why the birth rate is falling.

Edit: adding that if it's available, childcare for infants is as expensive or more than rent or mortgage payments. So you have to work to afford that

The type of medicine described in the meme usually is this way because it is helpful at preventing heart attacks (or stroke) while taking it, but if you suddenly stop taking it then you are worse off than before. Tapering off a medication like this can be done with professional medical supervision. The warning is necessary so people know not to suddenly stop without talking to their doctor.

...or we could maybe not allow showing ads to people for drugs with significant side effects like other countries

Check out no till farming, it's making a come back. they have different plants every season to prevent the soil blowing away and other benefits specific to each plant

The farmer meme guy was a huge advocate for no till farming

Got a different way to abbreviate Eastern Equine Encephalitis?

They'll just use it to brick more printers if you don't buy the right ink...

EVs don't do any shifting and usually have a low center of gravity, even better for suspect road conditions!

Focus on progress that has been made, solutions to the climate crisis have been growing exponentially over the past decade. And it's not a binary issue of everything is sunshine and rainbows vs we're all fucked. There's more of a spectrum. Also remember the past environmental successes we've had with like acid rain, the ozone layer, leaded gas, mercury pollution. We've come a long way.

Making any progress, no matter how small makes the future just that much better than it otherwise would be. Yes, systemic changes out of the control of anyone on Lemmy are needed, but if say every person on Lemmy worked towards reducing their own environmental impacts that could have huge ripple effects in the economy of the green transition. Just plan out pragmatically/realistically how much time, mental energy, and resources are worth it to you.

A lot things that individuals can do to help with the climate crisis often also have personal benefits like long term financial savings, less pollution exposure, healthier plant-based diets, etc.

I love my Ioniq 5, I was expecting Hyundai to gain momentum on EVs in the US.

Thanks!

Yes! The biggest factor with body weight is calories in vs calories out. Foods with volume and mass but fewer calories displace calorie dense foods. Even as simple as substituting popcorn vs potato chips is huge on calorie savings. Protein and fats (ideally plant based) can also help you feel full longer than say simple carbs like potato chips/white pasta.

I highly recommend Harvard's Nutrition Source for science-based nutrition info and recipes, the language is very accessible too!

When there's more people who want to buy homes than there are homes for sale, the power dynamic is still in favor of the sellers. Sounds like this could potentially favor more experienced buyers/hedge funds over first-time home buyers. If sellers don't want to cover fees for buyer's agent, then that's more a first time buyer would have to pay upfront.

Agreed! This is just the beginning, I'm convinced this was the plan all along for most smart devices. I will make an exception for products that can be conveniently operated when an account/app is optional at least.

Kroger and Albertsons own a ton of "other grocery chains." Classic example of just simply buying up the competition

I echo the other commenter and recommend speaking with a "registered dietician" (RD degree) about your personal nutrition goals.

Calories in/out, physical activity levels, and genetics are three of the biggest factors with blood cholesterol levels. Would you overall eat fewer calories if you switched to low fat dairy? Maybe then it's a decent strategy for you.

Harvard's Nutrition Source is a great educational resource about nutrition that is science based and uses accessible language.

Yes, US republicans also claim to be more responsible with government finances and have had far right factions taking over the past 20 years or so

Am I missing something? There is nothing new in the article. It's just contrasting Harris' Senate record and 2020 primary stances with the pragmatic political compromises that the Biden-Harris administration has made over the past 3.5 years because they had to deal with getting things through Congress. Of course the compromises made with Congress are going to be more to the right than what Harris has previously advocated for as her ideal stances, that's what politics is...

Any one else notice the shower controls OUTSIDE the shower?!

That's also quite a labyrinth of a front door patio

Creativity comes and goes. I don't like the internet's culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back

Haha all this time I thought it was some widespread cultural reference. Thanks for all the OC!
