What song, when you listened to it for the first time, made you go: "This will be stuck in my head for the rest of the week."

    Better than the original. It totally slaps.

    • is this true

  • Thx sorry I didn't read all your comments in the post, I was using that question as a proxy to whether or not your discussion was in good faith. It seems like the answer is yes.

    I frequently wonder how many better metrics are available that just aren't as easy to capture as stepping on the scale, grabbing blood oxygen, and taking blood pressure. I'm sure that part of the balance is value of vitals versus time or effort to collect them.

    • 'My car is more convenient'

    Jump

  • If more poeople had your perspective, I wouldn't be constantly tempted to block this community. On my other account I did block after about 2 weeks. I have a bicycle, electric cars and work from home, but I can't bicycle my 4 year old to swim lessons two nights a week 25 miles away. I have other kids and other time obligations you know? Doing the best I can, but it takes a car for now.

  • What science would change your mind? There's never going to be a magical cutoff number for cholesterol or height or weight that separates healthy and not healthy.

    Heuristics are useful tools and sometimes that's the best you get. You need water to live, clogged arteries cause heart attacks, insulin resistance leads to diabetes. Exactly how much of any given thing causes bad outcomes is going to vary case by case, but doesn't negate trends.

    I say all this as a former wannabe body builder who hasn't had a BMI under 25 in about 20 years, but I still know a BMI of 60 or 80 is no good.

    • How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?

    Jump

  • Doesn't this defeat the point of taking your shoes off inside? If your concern is tracking in dirt or germs on your shoes, tracking them on your feet is arguably worse unless you've got foot wash stations at the doors.

    Jump

  • My feet are kept warm by keeping my house at a temperature where I am comfortable.

  • I think I'd still just go barefoot personally. Socks aren't bad, but shoes for carpet kinda misses the point of carpet IMO.

    • This grocery store charges a hefty handling fee and asks for a tip when using online ordering.

    Jump

  • I don't think $7 is a particularly hefty fee. If it's a grocery store they typically aren't paying employees to do shop for you, it's an extra service for an extra charge. I think I pay $10 per order from my local grocery.

    • All billionaires under 30 have inherited their wealth, research finds

    Jump

  • .... 10 billion dollars is still a billionaire. Or is this a comment that nobody has 10 billion dollars?

    Or is maybe this a misread of the OP? By "pool 99 percent of their wealth" they mean the other direction. As in the billionaires keep at most 10 billion and the rest goes to better the world.

    • ‘I’m trying to give you a better deal’: Customer pulls gun on Burger King employee for giving him a discount

    Jump

  • This is exactly what I thought of, except the free hot dog verse.

    • ‘I’m trying to give you a better deal’: Customer pulls gun on Burger King employee for giving him a discount

    Jump

  • It's still not that simple. The guy could just claim his car was missing or his similar looking friend borrowed the car.

    • Ringleader of global monkey torture network, 'The Torture King', is charged

    Jump

  • I don't think OP is looking to rehabilitate the torture king...

    • mine is waterproof too

    Jump

  • Which unfortunately means every time you pull it out you can get on lemmy, if you have a new email you can read and reply to it, you can play a quick bullet game of chess... Etc etc. Phones are great, but they are also finely tuned distraction boxes.

    I'm trying to wear my watch more.

    • European car safety body is coming for touchscreens. The European New Car Assessment Programme mandates that key controls need physical buttons or switches

    Jump

  • Eh. I don't think you need to specify "stalk". I would be fine with physical buttons anywhere within easy reach. If they want to make a racing wheel that has 30 switches on it, I think I'm fine with that.

    I appreciate that SOME things don't have buttons now: getting into a BMW with that has the same number of buttons and switches as the cockpit of an airliner is ridiculous.

    • If you make a grammar/spelling mistake in your comment and realize later will you edit it to fix it?

    Jump

  • Every time.

    • What's a bit of good advice that's really bad advice?

    Jump

  • And you can make exactly the same argument for windows or mac depending on career or hobby or performance/support.

  • You can just pay it all off unless you plan on making some I interest money from the second 100.

    Every month on the same day I drive all the card balances to zero. 800+ credit score

    • What's a bit of good advice that's really bad advice?

    Jump

  • Yeah no. Pay the entire statement balance every month, that's the whole point. If you want to do debt stuff I guess you can get a mortgage or a car loan or a school loan, but these are not requirements for good credit. You use the card, you pay the card, you now have 100% on time payments and probably low credit utilization. Get a card early so average account age high if you can, and don't get lots of hard credit checks in a row.

    You can literally get free credit checks through most banks or directly from places like Experian and see what it is that affects your particular score.

    Don't pay 18 or 25% interest on anything, that's nutty.

  • But you should do that one. Just don't expect it to be windows with a different coat of paint and you will be fine.
