STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES FIBER PILLS ARE INEFFECTIVE AT BEST. HYDRATION LEVELS HAVE A BIGGER IMPACT ON YOUR BOWEL MOVEMENTS THAN ANYTHING. IF YOU’RE HAVING A HARD TIME GOING, MAKE SURE YOU’RE DRINKING ENOUGH WATER. YOU NEED MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU DO. TAKING CARE OF YOUR PHYSICAL HEALTH IS THE KEY TO MANY MORE YEARS OF HOG CRANKIN’, BROTHER.
One of the wonders of the fediverse is that it doesn’t have all the awful algorithms of Reddit or other social media platforms that are designed to relentlessly attempt to draw you in with increasingly hostile content. That’s not to say there isn’t a lot of negative content out there. There is. But, with Lemmy, or the fediverse more broadly, you have the ability to curate your own feed and an algorithm that will override that doesn’t exist.
I suggest using the “Block” button liberally. I’ve found that works pretty well for me.
Tracks should have at least a few decent sized trees growing in the middle. Or, if you’re in the Midwest US, they should dead end at a random field where a manufacturing plant once stood.
Our house abuts a wilderness area that’s been home to a colony of feral cats that the neighborhood has cared for for years (including spaying and neutering, and finding homes for the amenable ones). A couple of months ago a new family moved in across the street, and just now they had Animal Control out to gather up the cats....
We bought a house that, courtesy of the previous owner, has a very “bird friendly” yard. We also have an outdoor cat that someone dumped in my front yard when she was a kitten. We nursed her back to health and had her spayed. She has lived at my in-laws farm for a few years. We discussed bringing her to our new house and decided that, because she is an extremely effective serial killer, she will stay on the farm. It’s possible to love cats while also recognizing that they can be an invasive species in some circumstances. Their nearly unparalleled hunting skills are an asset to them and a serious threat to the creatures around them.
Beginning on August 1, children in Arkansas under the age of 16 will no longer need employment certificates to work, thanks to a law passed in the last legislative session.
Am Arkansan. Sarah Schmuckabee Slanders made the case to the public that this would return control [of child employment] back to parents. The actual law passed does the opposite by removing the requirement for parents to give written consent. Naturally, the sales pitch was a bald faced lie. The fact that more Arkansan’s aren’t upset about that aspect alone tells you all you really need to know about the current state of politics in this state.
There isn’t one. It’s all short term thinking about what’s going to rile the base for 2024 and SHS really, really wants to be VP (although in my opinion, DeSantis would have to be the Republican nominee for that to happen).
My 15 year old usually spends more time complaining about doing chores than actually doing them. She just doesn’t have the time. Those TikTok videos aren’t going to watch themselves.
SSD’s are cheap nowadays. They’re also much more reliable than HDD’s. That said, when they fail it’s usually catastrophic failure with total data loss.
If your data that’s important to you, I would still use redundant storage. Especially since the cost is minimal.
Looking for recommendations on coffee makers. Preferably a drip coffee maker. I’ve been using a percolator for years and while it usually works fine, it doesn’t always brew thoroughly if the water isn’t cold enough.
What’s sad is nuclear power is still a useful solution. It’s not a perfect solution. Not by a long shot. But as far as non-renewable power sources go, nuclear is by far the most efficient. Yet today the US has virtually no nuclear power development going on.
Social media empires are like silent movie era film stars. They don’t abruptly stop existing. They just fade into obscurity whenever something newer and “sexier” comes along.
I started at BeeHaw because they have a lot of cool communities. I didn’t want to write an essay (I’m exaggerating …a little) to sign up for an account so I ended up on sh.itjust.works.
Just reading the article made me feel angry and sad. What kind of sick bastards think intentionally causing animals pain, for the purpose of causing them pain, is fun?
I've been thinking a lot about why I decided to come here and I know it started off as a "they can't make me use their shitty app!" while simultaneously using test apps that crash and navigating less content than Reddit. What is the primary motivation for all of this anymore? Is anger enough of a motivation to keep people away...
Same here. I didn't really care that much about the API changes. I can understand the rationale behind them. Spez being a huge dick to basically everyone was what sealed the deal for me. I ditched Facebook 8 years ago when I realized that I was having to hide more posts than not because it had completely devolved into a digital landfill. Reddit has been slowly moving that way but Steve Huffman has clearly stated, in so many words (and actions), that his and Reddit's goal is to emulate the larger social media conglomerates and to move that direction as quickly as possible and at all costs. Including the cost of eliminating what made Reddit unique.
I'm not interested in that. There are are a handful of communities that I enjoy being part of (here's looking at you r/daddit) but I'm not willing to support a corporation that is hell bent on doing bad business just to be part of that community.
Reddit/Steve is just now publicizing things that have most likely been talked about in the boardroom for a while. They're gambling that this will blow over. I'm inclined to agree with them. But I didn't go back when I quit Facebook and I'm not going back now. Regardless of how this whole deal with the protests pans out, the future of Reddit is pretty bleak, at least in my opinion.
So far this is the DIY project I dislike the most. Removing tons of loose styrofoam from my attic. Only doing part of it for now to get access above a bathroom that we’re remodeling. Eventually I’ll remove all of it, seal the air gaps, and probably replace the insulation with blown in cellulose....
