But according to Trump the president doesn’t have to actually obey the constitution. That’s partially what the Supreme Court is deciding on.

I’ve seen several people on Lemmy fully supporting Hamas, so I wouldn’t say Lemmy gets your first point.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Hamas has also stated quite recently their goal is the elimination of Israel by repeated terrorist attacks against civilians. So no, one should not support Hamas.

Games can be competitive. Or maybe you are having difficulty in a certain game and want to learn strategies to get better at it, even if it isn’t a competitive game.

Like the victories of WW1 all made pointless by WW2.

And the original trilogy never resolved what happened to the thousands of empire controlled planets and fleets of ships. The rebellion just killed the emperor and death star, but there were still a lot of members of the empire still out there ruling planets.

Agreed.

so does the fetus technically not have a skeleton before then?

The cartilaginous pre-bones would still be a skeleton. Sharks have skeletons, but don’t have any bones for example.

No, they’re saying housing homeless people is not an unreasonable goal.

Works beautifully on my desktop on Ultra settings. What hardware are you running?

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

I agree with the other poster, I’ve really enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy.

And I find the gameplay to be pretty good; the combat can be approached in multiple ways due to spell variety, there are a decent variety of puzzles to do (though some only become accessible fairly late in the game), and I enjoy the different side stories throughout the game. Also Hogwarts castle is gorgeous, and lots of fun to explore.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

I personally really like the gameplay, and the story and world are very interesting to explore.

I do like a fairly wide variety of games including Soulsbourne, metroidvanias, 4x, sims, shooters, even sports games. So maybe I just like everything.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Could be crossfire.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600X, Radeon 5700 XT, 32 GB RAM, and run it off an SSD.

The game runs great on ultra on my system, and I didn’t do anything but install the latest Radeon driver.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Also I still run windows 10, so could be different operating systems.

The provincial conservatives where I live are trying their best to destroy that universal healthcare. It’s rather infuriating.

They won 60% of the seats in parliament with only 40% of the voted. I fucking hate first past the post elections.

Avatar 2 was awesome in theater, at least in Imax 3D. It was so fucking gorgeous, I was transfixed.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

300 was worth paying money for in theater, as well as Watchmen.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes. I thoroughly enjoyed both in theater.

I mean Yeast isn’t generally considered mold.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Fermentation is still resulting in live organisms

Unless you’re drinking unfiltered beers, you shouldn’t actually have any live yeast left in your beer. And if there are prepare t6o be gassy as fuck for the rest of the day.

Which essentially is what makes up a lot of food we eat.

Well everything we eat was once living, or a product of something living. It’s not why people don’t like eating mold.

Mold still tastes nasty as fuck, blue cheese included, even if that particular mold is safe to eat.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

What misinformation? That yeast isn’t mold? That’s not misinformation.

That’s exactly when people come to work together. The French Revolution happened because people were starving.

Calling people who disagree with you misguided when it comes to purely matter of tastes is not just talking about one’s opinion, but is in fact insulting other people for no reason. So fuck the author of this particular article.

Mythbusters found it makes virtually no difference, and lid down can actually make particles go further due to the pressure forcing them through a smaller gap.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Mythbusters found it makes no difference in the spread of fecal matter. Toilet lids aren’t perfect seals.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Going off memory of the episode.

And from what I recall your source is leaving out the part where they found poop particles everywhere when they flushed with the lid down as well.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

The plumbing authority link? Yeah, they leave out the part where the Mythbusters found poop everywhere when flushing with the lid closed as well.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Although Mythbusters is not a peer reviewed scientific source, they do employ reasonable standards of experimentation.

And the first source you posted is particularly interesting, with similar conclusions to what I remember from Mythbusters; that lids reduce the total number of particles found, but that the particles produced from lid use last longer and are larger. So a lid closed situation can;t really be said to be more hygienic.

Unfortunately on a cursory skimming of the other articles none of them seem compare toilets with lid down to lid up, they all seem to look at lidless toilets only. Thus, they can;t really speak to the topic of lid use being more hygienic without the direct comparison.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, I followed the ones posted. None of them say the opposite, they all leave out the results from the lidded flushes. And someone else posted a paper that showed that although lid closed produced fewer particles, they were larger, and lasted longer, so flushing lid closed was not particularly more hygienic.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s not a research article, it’s an opinion piece with no published data and no references.

here’s a real research article that found lidded flushing still produced large aerosolized droplets on flushing:

That just sounds like soup, and delicious.

This may seem kind of stupid but I am kind of stupid, is there a list somewhere of phrases that are stupid or insensitive racially or gender biased?

I just got up from conversation with a couple of older black men, that I said “well I got to go back to work and start cracking the whip.” And it occurred to me then that it was probably a really insensitive stupid thing to say....

I honestly had no idea until now that firewater had anything to do with Native Americans. I just thought it was a term for alcohol, and don’t use it myself anyway.

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....

3D modelling and printing. You do need access to a printer (some libraries have them), but the plastics and resins are cheap, and you can make lots of cool stuff.

We need to capture some of what we’ve already put in the atmosphere. Keep what’s in the ground there, and capture back what we’ve already polluted.

We need both, not one or the other.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s fair, though hopefully they will also be able to capture general CO2 in the air, not just what is emitted from the oilsands directly.

But we absolutely do need general CO2 capture, because the level of CO2 is already way too high, and even if we go to zero emissions today we will still see drastic warming due to the already present CO2.

But Windows does have an app store, and has for ages now.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Sure, but pretty much every common application most people use is available, which is fine for the majority of people such as OPs mom.

I don’t think getting instagram, or photoshop off the microsoft store is giving anyone a virus. And I’ve never gotten a virus from it in the few times I’ve used it.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

What crap machine are you running? I can open the store on my Surface 3 I’ve had for nearly a decade.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, I read that. A couple thousand people out of billions of users were affected, and the problem was resolved. It’s really not as big of an issue as you’re making it out to be.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Of course, and much of it is on the app store now (which I rarely use myself), but for someone like OPs mom who just wants an easy app store, well there is one.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

For someone like OPs mom it would be more than good enough is my point. She’s saying she wished something existed that does indeed exist.

Hey, they aren’t good at nothing. They excel at killing pedestrians.

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

It’s also on individuals, our purchasing choices shape what corporations decide to make. if people only bought fuel efficient vehicles companies wouldn’t build these idiotic mega polluting trucks.

And trucks are vastly more dangerous for pedestrians than other vehicles. they have massive blind spots, and weight a shitton more. As trucks have kept getting bigger, pedestrian deaths have gone up, that’s why we bring it up.
