It's interesting, it is becoming a modern day contronym

I thought this thread was for hot takes 😉

I LOVE banana flavored stuff. When I say this, people will often say "even banana flavored Laffy Taffy?". Yes, that's the best flavor and it's not even close.

Overnight oats. Look up recipes, but you mix stuff together the night before and just eat it with a spoon out of the jar the next day. For optimizing the morning routine, nothing is simpler.

I'm convinced anyone who doesn't say emacs is simply just more productive than me

In medicine I was taught a number of times that diverse addiction disorders are largely defined one thing: persistence of a behavior despite negative consequences. An addendum is difficulty in cessation of the behavior.

I do not think it is appropriate to talk about any details, but something somewhat adjacent to this is that a lot of my colleagues didn't go into pediatrics because they hate dealing with parents.

I think their issue is that it misrepresents the magnitude of the funding. Less than 1% of their funding comes from the federal government

When my friends does this I'll say "I didn't know you had color ID!!!"

You want them to live

I was going to say the EXACT same thing. People even are refusing the vitamin K shot in their newborns

Yes, a doctor is probably one of the jobs that would be the best understood

I thought you are supposed to install extensions through the web interface, not the command line

I have a similar feeling about it. I think I would prefer the customization of KDE, etc, but GNOME just works for me right out of the box. I don't think I change anything except the monospace font nowadays (in Tweaks). It works great and gets out of the way. For people who do not like the GNOME workflow I suspect it would be horrific because there is far less customization.

If we are making evolutionary arguments, I find dogs that have been bred in such a way that they commonly die from cancer or heart disease in 10 years to be exotic. But they certainly are successful in passing on their genes, so it is an increase in fitness. But at what cost?

I also do not think that something evolving to be a certain way makes it a moral choice.

For you, I suggest sticking to Discord. I am of the mind that your effort should be focused on your community instead of enforcing a FOSS philosophy upon a group that may not have any interest in doing so.

If you are creating a new community, this is a different conversation, of course.

I think your problem is that you think Republicans care about being logically consistent with their interpretation of the law. I think it's clear that they take the outcome they want, and then work their way backwards.

I think NixOS needs an approachable installer or config builder

I use the fork of OpenBoard that has swiping which is pretty good. https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

Dyson is a marketing company that happens to make okay vacuums. Anyone who owns a Miele or SEBO vacuum would never go to a Dyson. Dyson vacuums never hold up to their high quality bagged competitors in almost any regard. Just my 2c. I used my family's Dyson before moving out and buying a canister SEBO and the difference is remarkable. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/what-we-learned-from-vacuum-enthusiasts/

Someone with a uterus and a history of ovarian cancer likely isn't a candidate for estradiol, but there are other treatments. Maybe estrogen + progestin to prevent unopposed endometrial proliferation. Though I hope OP can find a doctor who can help with hormone replacement if that is what his partner wants.

There is a fork of openboard with swiping at https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

Edit: you technically need to download the swiping library to keep it fully FOSS, but I am okay with that given there is no other alternative. Instructions on where to find a swiping binary are on the github

Edit edit: another fork of openboard with swiping here, but is less up to date https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

The first game that popped into mind for this title was Dave the Diver. It is a lovely game where you fish in the morning, then serve up the fish at the sushi restaurant you work for in the evenings. I recommend you check out a video on it! It's technically early access, but the full game is set to release on the 28th.

I use Greek yogurt and a bit of honey. Eventually you may not need the honey if you are trying to reduce the added sugar.

I find the texture is better if I let the muesli sit in th3 yogurt for 30 mins or so

Owning pets is not moral and I think it's strange how normalized it is to have pets

I'm a big fan of the weather app wX for US people. It is a no-frills NWS data explorer, with a great radar and widget. It doesn't have the look of a modern app, persay, but the data are all there and very clear. (To get to the meteogram, long press on the radar widget on the home screen. I found this by accident, but am very happy I did.)

Don't wait for a sale on this game, the developers have specifically said it won't ever go on sale

Hey, you're finally awake

This ain't short king energy

I agree, this is very important to me. My fiancee and I have come to the realization that sleeping in the same bed made both of us sleep worse. The solution was to sleep in separate beds and it's been great. I do miss some parts of it, of course, but the benefits have been worth it

When I was using Librewolf maybe 4 years ago, it was never up to date with Firefox. I thought it could be a potential security risk, sometimes it took months to incorporate Firefox security updates. Has that improved recently?

I love gritty. I grew up in Seattle and found the whole Kraken logo and team name were just so uninspiring. Especially when the Flyers just went all in on just being cool as hell with Gritty. Fortunately I was already a Canes fan so the boring Kraken thing doesn't bother me at all

Photoprism is really quite nice for a containerized solution.

For mostly photos I'm a big fan of Digicam

Would you ever recommend Factorio to someone who asked for a good 5 minute game!? One of my favorite games, but doesn't fit the bill for me

I will swap out the default font with a monospace Nerd Font. I'm currently using the Cascadia Code Mono Nerd Font, but I will change it every so often.

Honestly? Fair point. I find it hard to not extend this to animals but it most likely isn't something animals consider at all. I mean, dogs likely all have William's Syndrome, so they are happy with how we treat them in most scenarios. But owning animals I think leads to a lot of secondary animal cruelty caused by breeders and abandoned pets.
