  • Say you're vegetarian and you get a vote in what the office gets for lunch. You can get either steakhouse meaty meats or pizza. You don't love pizza but a slice of cheese pizza beats not eating. You'd rather everyone order from a sandwich shop where you can choose a veggie sandwich. But that's either not an option or everyone would vote for the other two making your lone vote was wasted because it didn't sway the democratic majority in your favor at all. So you vote for cheese pizza over a mass of brisket or whatever.

    Did you get a voice? Yeah, you did. This is what people mean by "lesser of two evils." A minority opinion in a democracy doesn't get to authoritatively decide what's best for everyone. Also, primaries and local elections exist.

  • "Soulless" white? It's boring and inoffensive, and also I hate color.

    The only room I've ever painted was grey. I particularly like the RGB c2c2c2. Fight me.

    Hello lemmy. I have one or two lights for every functional use case in my personal life, and then some. No more lights for me unless something breaks.

    Best group voice chat docker composable program?

    Requirements:

    • multi person voice chat with all the standards (PTT, etc)
    • extremely low latency because it's self hosted, so three people in the same city should have <30ms
    • easily hosted via docker compose
    • FOSS optional but preferred

    Natural History Museum of London

    This is by far the most user friendly map of a museum I have ever seen. Out of the big four I'm visiting soon, the V&A's map is terrible, the Science Museum's is more like an ad brochure, and the British Museum's is okay.

    This one? Perfection. Color coded, vector graphic icons to highlight what kind of things are there, and a great parallax? viewing angle so the location of other floors and their stair and elevator connections are obvious. And the best part is that it all fits on one page.

    Is there a website to find lists of samples used in a song?

    What I can find, but doesn't help: websites that list times a song was sampled in another song.

    What I'm looking for: search a song, see a list of movies/TV shows/radio/other song audio usage used in that song.

    Example:

    Nine Inch Nails - Mr. Self Destruct: the sound of someone being beaten is from the movie THX: 1138

    I ate burgers for two months for science

    Vegan patties!

    For about two months, every weekday I made myself a burger for lunch. The active part of the research was what can I find within a ten minute drive, how the patties cooked on the stove, and how they tasted. The rest of the research is pure data from the back of the boxes as seen in the spreadsheet below.

    Note: Data collected summer of 2023 in Colorado

    Summary: They're pretty much all the same! Ta-da~. Seriously though, if you're not picky, just grab whatever is available and cheapest at the store you go to. Except for Gardein which glues itself to your stainless steel pot no matter how oil and shuffling you give it.

    The most interesting finding was that there are two main types and they're all fairly similar within those types. And even more interesting (to me at least), the type can be inferred purely from the weight of the patty. 113g = meat-like, 71g = veggie mush. Surprisingly consistent across multiple brands. The most obvious ou

    Recommend a good USB-C to 3.5mm audio dongle

    The last two I tried had some of the crappiest sounding audio I've ever heard out of a premium phone. I have a $100 wired headset I'd like to use.
