Next time add cheese tortellini 😋

Maybe I’m missing half the point of the Fediverse, but we have !wordle@lemmy.world already. What do we need this new one for? Especially when this is in .world’s new communities community

Maybe user replaceable phone batteries are making a comeback, but with the way my phone is pretty much sealed up I wouldn’t trust myself to not break it. I’d also be leery of a third-party replacement lithium battery of unknown quality (let’s be honest, that’s what you’ll probably end up with) charging right next to my head while I sleep. Saying that as someone whose friend had a lithium battery fire with her laptop.

Point is, the argument of “why would you try to save your battery by not using it when it has the same net effect of less battery?” is pretty short-sighted.

The elders of the Internet know who I am?!?

I keep my car charged to 80% to help with battery degradation, and here’s why:

• Most days, I don’t use more than 30% of my battery capacity (roughly 75 miles/120km). Even that’s high. I don’t care if that means I go from 100%->70% or 80%-50% when I’ll charge back up again overnight

• It’s not a permanent setting! If I do go on a longer trip, I’ll bring it back up to 100% and not sweat it!

From what I’ve heard, charging beyond 80% increases the degradation rate, meaning time spent at that level is an important part of the equation. If I keep my phone plugged in overnight and at my desk, I have a lot of time at full charge that I’m not really using, but if I know I’m flying that day or running errands all day I can pop it up to 100% and it will be a non-degraded 100%

I’ve had my S20 far longer than my car and never did limit its charge. It’s fine for me, but the battery is sure showing its age.

To get the sweet yet acidic flavor, I would try a small drizzle of something like red wine vinegar. It wouldn’t add much body to the sandwich, but it can really give a great flavor.

If you want more than meat and bread and don’t want tomato… Cucumber would add some body with a weak neutral flavor.

I remember when technology was fun and exciting.

I enjoy the food and the recipes have a pretty good variety. They tout the fact that you can keep the recipes and make them again with ingredients you get the old fashioned way, but there’s always that one obscure ingredient (of which you only need a little) that makes it tricky. They expect you’ll have some ingredients on hand, like butter (lots of butter, actually…)

And of course, with the preparation of dividing things out, extra packaging, shipping, etc… It does get expensive. That’s a large part of what held me back from getting it routinely. I also remember some pricing/customer service shenanigans that were annoying but can’t remember what.

But when my daughter was in NICU long-term (doing well now!) a friend abroad got us a gift card or whatever to help us with meals. It was pretty nice for that unique time.

Oh, please. People who have never left their home in their entire life probably wouldn’t. Why would someone who stopped leaving their house lose their favorite? I haven’t lived in my hometown in 20 years, but I still have a favorite park from there. My vegan friend once said she misses lobster. Someone who lost their hearing could still have a favorite song.

Just because life circumstances change, doesn’t mean they have no memory of how things used to be.

Do me a favor: go to what was once (or still is) your favorite park and take a cool photo. Using your phone is fine, but I want you to take a few minutes to find a cool subject/perspective/composition combination. Maybe consider coming back if the sun isn’t at the best angle when you go there the first time.

Show me what you come up with!

Also not British… Boiled egg? 🤔

Don’t forget about the vice versa!

Brian… Johnson? 🤔

Admittedly when I wrote that I had moments like “cellulose is in fruit, right? And that’s fiber?” and when I googled with neutral terms I mostly trusted Google’s AI slop 🤣

I thought about that as I wrote it! I stand by what I said.

There is sugar, absolutely. And that’s probably where most of the calories come from. But there is also water, cellulose (fiber), and vitamins/minerals - doesn’t have much non-sugar caloric value to change that balance, but it’s still important. And nobody serious is suggesting you eat only fruit, so you can get non-sugar calories from other sources and it can be balanced in the big picture.

It’s kind of like an appropriate amount of dressing on a salad, the good outweighs the bad and makes you more likely to actually eat that nutrition-positive food.

We typically call the other one gauze.

You’re good! Bandage is the “correct” term, band-aid is a brand but commonly used on other brands as well. If you kept it to the first half I would have had no idea English isn’t your first language

Allowed to? Sure, you’re well into adulthood and that’s not something you want to legally regulate between consenting adults.

But from a societal norms perspective, the minimum age of “half your age plus seven” holds up pretty well. 34 year old dating a 24 year old? Sure! 44 year old dating a 24 year old? That gives me the ick, but I don’t think that should make it illegal.

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure. In theory, sure: the initial question assumed initial (presumably clothed) attraction. You’ve got the body parts I enjoy between the sheets. Let’s give it a try!

But also, I’m a dumb human with dumb human hangups that shouldn’t matter, but do. Maybe this person is everything I wanted and I could never turn that down; maybe there’s a mental block I just can’t get around despite my best efforts
