It’s so cringe and ridiculous how they implement these obnoxiously biased changes and then immediately walk them back when they’re called out for it. Just trying to figure out how much they can get away with

Why would anyone care what the ISPs think about how much work they have to do? We’re paying for it, so in what world is it not misleading to withhold information about charges?

It’s like we’re flying towards a brick wall, and corporations and republicans want to put their foot on the gas, because the faster we go the more money they make… until impact of course

Agree. It’s pretty annoying scrolling through the tech communities and seeing the same article about him posted 5 different times lol

As I generally read the science related pages, I have yet to find a bad citation, they are almost always from an accredited journal or other verified source. The Wikipedia chemistry section has saved me so much time and given me so much helpful info. The pages on genes and proteins are also usually amazing!

“I’m gonna play both sides, that way I’ll always end up on top”

It truly is terrible, and yet, it’s capitalism functioning as it is intended to

It’s probably just misinformation/disinformation

Just finished a book about the Lusitania sinking in WW1, this situation (very vaguely) reminds me of that, given that Germany was publicly threatening to sink vessels headed to Britain under the assumption they could be transporting supplies. They went so far as to take an ad out in the paper warning the ship not to sail, as it would be a target.

Would highly recommend it by the way, it was called Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of The Lusitania and it was meticulously researched and very well written. There is a lot more to the story than what I said here and is well worth the read.

Honestly I wouldn’t even be surprised if Procter and Gamble did that shit lol

Last year there were twitch streamers getting their followers to make pictures for them, so maybe check twitch?

Unfortunately the article states a yearly treatment cost would be about $90K with all expenses factored in. Patients with Medicare will likely not be able to get coverage for this, and Medicaid will still require a copay of 20%.

Like every other industry, pharmaceutical companies are profit driven and will maximize their revenue whenever possible, especially when they know the patient population is desperate.

A big example of this was when Pfizer discontinued their research program to cure heart disease, since it is more profitable to charge patients for statins for the rest of their life than it is to cure them.

But profits are up 5%!

Bro got the yarmulke emojis 💀

I believe there is a setting in your lemmy.world profile to hide all NSFW content. Try looking at your user settings in browser

She must be a Draymond Green fan

Yeah this guy is a Yale/Harvard grad. He’s not stupid, but he knows what stupid people will believe and he knows how to say it convincingly

I want to know what they mean by presumed remains, I thought for sure they would be vaporized when the implosion happened. Like, is this a bone fragment or something? Surely there’s nothing identifiably human right?

I have a vivoactive 4s and it’s got all the features I want in a smartwatch while also being discreet and small. It doesn’t feel any different on my wrist than an analog watch and that’s what I love most

We’re so close to posting chain emails, or those super long joke emails my grandparents used to send me lol

Better Off Ted. Very funny show about a giant company doing ridiculous things

Bees and coral are both great answers, but I’m going to go with spiders. The amount of smaller pest insects that spiders consume is definitely overlooked and without them just imagine the swarms of bugs that would aggregate during the summer months

You will fart so hard/shit your pants (just a guess)

I’ve found that when using deodorants with aluminum, my body basically builds up a tolerance to them and compensates by sweating more. The more I would apply, the more my pits would sweat. I’ve switched to deodorants with magnesium instead and that has helped me a lot!

Ah I see, sorry for misreading. I believe that there is currently no way to block an instance but I’ve seen people requesting this feature a lot, along with people saying it will be added in the future. Unfortunately I think it’s a waiting game right now

I switched to ice cubes from mammoth because of the lack of a trending tab

I can get mine to last 5-6 days depending on usage. The GPS function obviously drains it faster so if I’m going on bike rides multiple days in a row it’ll be about 4 days tops, but if I do stationary bike and weight lifting it’ll get 5 days easy, even going on GPS walks it usually doesn’t drain as bad as the bike tracking.

Also worth noting I don’t have any phone notifications on my watch because I just don’t need another device getting my attention. So I think that helps to extend my battery life.

Additionally, I disabled the Pulse Ox sensor by default as that thing drains juice so fast. My girlfriend had hers on 24/7 and was getting like maybe 2 days out of a full charge.

I can’t figure out how to access Lemmy through Mastodon, any tips? I tried following some lemmy communities through my mastodon app but they don’t seem to show up in my feed

I mean, it’s one banana Michael, what could it cost?

Would you mind sharing the recipe you used? I may have to try this!

There’s a great documentary called 13th about this and racial inequality in America

You’re a brave man

Did you just use a cut of meat from the store?

I’m so rich, I can use real coffee grounds instead of instant!
