Some of the online ordering services are sneaky and bake their fee into the prices of the items you order, so it’s not even clear that you pay extra. My despise of that practice motivates me to call in my orders.

Yes, one is a final solution, the other is just pushing your problems elsewhere without regard for who else it could affect.

Some alien intern got confused and thought drawing crop circles was supposed to be done on the crops rather than in the fields of crops.

As the current owner of a 1930’s era property with tons of glass and rubble in the ground, please don’t. We have landfills so that individual properties don’t get filled with trash.

Since we’re being pedantic, the feeezing point of unbrined chicken is -3 C. Most meats are not frozen at exactly 0 C since the water contained in the cells is far from pure.

But yeah, slapping will be a super lossy process and this analysis will be off by quite a bit.

0 C wouldn’t quite be frozen solid for chicken since it’s not pure water. According to a quick search, chicken (unbrined) freezes at -3 C. So technically it is defrosted, but it should start out closer to 10 C for good results.

That’s $700 for a digital only edition without a disk drive or vertical stand. It’s $810 to match the features of the PS5.0

Smart blinds can also serve a similar function. My bedroom catches some light from passing headlights and there’s enough light pollution to affect my sleep. However, my SO really struggles to wake up if it’s dark. Smart blinds have been a great solution for us. The biggest drawback is noise. Affordable blinds are not silent.

That depends on your client. Connect for lemmy shows a placeholder for comments from blocked instances. You can click to show the comment anyway or just blissfully ignore the high probability rage bait.

I actually like that implementation, because the obnoxiousness of hexbear users is context dependent. On posts about gardening and nolawns I’ll usually see what they have to say. On political posts, I usually regret reading their comments. So it’s somewhat nice to opt-in to comments on a case by case basis.

Chronic Wasting Disease is a particularly scary prion disease that is highly dependent on deer population density.

Oh so like how you stock up on gas when there’s a shortage.

In a similar vein, I prefer celery leaves over the stalks. They have a better flavor imo and they don’t feel like your chewing on stringy water.

Is this peanut butter in little jars, big jars, bags, or just shoveled in like one giant trunk tub of creamy peanut butter?

It’s a fairly common mild allergy. I guess I shouldn’t have stated that like it is expected for everyone.

There’s no danger for an mri unless you’ve had major surgery involving metal inplants. There’s no ionizing radiation so there should be no risks for the fetus.

Cost and scarcity are big limiting factors for mri though. Mri machines are massive permanent installations that cost in the millions. They are already busy with people who need diagnostics of specific conditions. Putting every expectant mother in one would lead to absurd wait times. Whereas doctors offices can have multiple little ultrasound machines on carts that are easy to quickly acquire imagining as part of routine visits.

Why not? The ps5 is good at pretending to do 4k, but is very much on the anemic side of graphics power for 4k gaming. Why wouldn’t people want a performance bump if it’s available and they can afford to upgrade?

Caffeine can decrease your saliva production and lead to a dry mouth. If you add any dairy products to your coffee, that can increase your sinus congestion.

I wouldn’t worry much about it. Just make sure you are also drinking plenty of water. Getting dehydrated will adversely affect your recovery time.

I know it may not be worth pursuing, but that specifically can invalidate a patent.

There is also the issue that if building nuclear plants takes too long and is too expensive to be the solution, then such a project would also be too late to matter. Also transmission losses likely mean this is a solution for much less of the world population than you think. If we had a truly global lossless grid, then we would need much less energy storage to begin with.

Impracticalities aside, absurd geoengineering what-ifs are entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
