There was a study that showed controlled anger can keep you alive longer in old age.

I remember it because I immediately thought "huh, 'man to angry to die' meme is real".

*Visa. Passport won't be enough to travel to the EU and select other countries in 2025.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Better be real soon. You'll need a Visa to travel to the EU starting in 2025 - just passport won't work anymore. EU was preparing for this scenario for years, expecting a huge wave of American immigration after a Trump win.

As someone who's only read the title, I don't think I'd like this book.

I've made bread before, a lot actually. Many kinds with different flours.

But I've used yeast for years because I couldn't have added phosphorus due to kidney failure (which baking powder has in it). I've also had other less commonly used raising agents like cream of tartar and yogurt. I also made it by hand because could not afford a bread machine or had the space for it. It's extremely messy.

That said, if you're using baking powder and a bread machine, you might as well just get bread from the store. You're just doing the same as a factory does really. And I'm some cases maybe worse since some factory bread is made with yeast instead anyway.

If you want fresh bread, you can in most cases just go to a bakery section too these days, from what I remember when I lived in the USA. In EU basically every store has a bakery section with bread made daily tho.

Actually had a friend in highschool with that name

I have 2, a 32gb and a 64gb, that I've had for over 6 years I think. Not sure exactly how long since I've had them for a long time - since before I met my wife, so maybe I got them when they first came out?

Chicken was recalled too

... Why would you rent a way heater, in a home you own? Is the house a school or something???

I mean when you think about it chickens are small. 1 human is around 14 chickens.

Edit: I'm kinda tall tho, so maybe 10 chickens average

They still lay about 24 eggs a month, sometimes more sometimes less depending on the temperature and if there's a rooster around. Again, we had the wild breed of chicken (Gallus gallus). We also had guinea fowl and ducks.

It's an animal that can reproduce a lot. Don't know why people find that hard to believe but don't bat an eye at the reproduction rates of rabbits.

Chickens always gave a lot of eggs. That's why they were popular since ancient times. As long as they had surplus food, they start laying eggs. A dozen a year is just misinformation - that's only in the wild, during spring because that's when they have a surplus a food. If humans feed them every day, then they lay eggs because they always have extra food.

We raised free roaming wild chickens. The hens had a high up coop we'd close to keep safe from predators that they'd return to on their own at night.

They saw the Trump government do the same + Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the sole capital of Israel as well. Not to mention Trump is extremely pro Israel too.

Of course, I never underestimate the stupidity of American right wing voters, so yeah I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan turns red too.

 

It's the simple things really. I've swapped back to Linux as my primary about a year ago, and still I have issues I don't have with Windows.

6 months now, particularly on Linux Mint (Bazzite to its credit hasn't had this issue much) I just can't fit connect to the internet. Linux is the only thing with this issue. By some arcane lucky magic, it somehow fixes itself when I'm fiddling around trying to fix it myself.

Only for the problem to come back next time I boot up my PC on Mint.

I have it connected to a TP link switch, just like other devices. None have the issue, not even a console (Nintendo Switch). Months, fucking months of going through forum posts, articles, social media, and trying out dozens upon dozens of "solutions", both in gui and the terminal - and the problem persists.

Now, I don't think I'm tech savvy exactly, but I'm not tech illiterate either. I understand some simple lines of code, some very basics of networking, etc. I'm patient enough to deal with issues like these for over half a year.

But how the hell is Linux even going to dream of being anywhere near mainstream when one of the most recommended "beginner" distros can't even run a year long without something as simple as the damned internet working???

And it's not just the internet. It's little things that just pop up one day and now you have to solve a puzzle to figure it out. Oh, suddenly you have to print something? Oh, you decided to get a light up keyboard that was on sale? Try to use Steam Link? Get ready to roll the dice on whether it'll take you a weekend to do / use it.

Microsoft is shit. Windows, is shit. Windows 11 is a privacy goddamn nightmare.

But in the end of the day, it just fucking works, those damn bastards ensure that. And even when something doesn't work, it seems, for some unknown reason, most of the online solutions do fix the issue.

Now imagine someone who's less likely to open up a terminal using Linux. They won't. They'll sacrifice their privacy because they might have full time jobs in something not remotely tech related and just wanted to watch some YouTube and don't want to spend the little free time they have fixing their own computer.

What's hilarious is just as I'm finishing this rant, the internet on Mint just magically decided to work again with no issues.

Maybe next time then I'll try yelling at the Linux fairies in my PC to see if they'll do their magic. At this point it's about a valid solution as any other.

I just want the Manjaro Arm to not fizzle the gui's and run Firefox at speeds faster than 1980s era internet...

Or any desktop distro, even gnome or ubuntu
