I used to do an egg and a couple pieces of lunch meat.

Now I don’t eat eggs or meat anymore, so I tear up a sheet of nori (dried seaweed), add about six ounces of cubed tofu, one spoonful of sambal oelek (chili paste), and a little bit of sesame oil (add the sesame oil last, after taking it off the heat).

Per serving, the tofu is the most expensive, then the nori, so if the budget is tight you could cut there (but the tofu is also the only protein). One container of chili paste or sesame oil is enough for many servings, I couldn’t say how much it costs per serving but it it’s probably less than the noodle packet.

I changed majors to anthropology because I hoped that it would help me understand humans and therefore myself. Now I know a lot more about how much I don’t know, and every job in the field has hyper specific requirements that make it seem like they were written to guarantee the PI’s grad student gets the position.

It’s an improvement, but I miss the days of battery covers that just slide off so that you can swap in a spare.

I don’t like to say “good person” and “bad person” because I feel like it implies that there is some objective scale of goodness that people can be compared to, and I think that is simply not the case. So I would rather think of this question as “Do you have a positive opinion of yourself?”

No, no I don’t. My opinion of myself is extremely negative.

It’s not new anymore, but I really like Micro Mages, a vertical scrolling platformer that fits fully into an original 40KB NES cart and supports 4 player simultaneous co-op.

I think I have zero users blocked, but if I were blocking people it wouldn’t be for this. Cross-posting is good for the lemmy ecosystem, it spreads engagement to more communities and instances.

I first heard the attack helicopter joke from a trans friend who was super into military hardware and she thought it was the funniest shit ever. I didn’t realize it was supposed to be transphobic for years. The way she made it sound was more like “hell yes my gender can be anything and no one can stop me!”

Some of us have been playing it since before it was popular with children!

The beer can and the image on the mug look especially “melty.” And his arm looks super smooth. And he has a wedding ring on both hands. And his leg starts out looking more or less like a leg but on the left end it looks more like a pillow.

I’m fairly confident it’s AI.

I’m not really part of the target audience. I already have a laptop that’s slightly more powerful and I could hook it up to my TV if that was a thing I wanted to do. I don’t need a separate gaming PC for my living room.

Mine takes less than a minute.

The main point seems to be that individual reviewers don’t have recognizable voices anymore, but honestly I don’t really buy the idea that reviews ever “worked” in the way that this writer seems to want them to. Any individual number was always meaningless except for knowing whether a specific person liked the thing at a specific moment in time. Maybe some people were lucky enough to know a reviewer who reliably predicted how they’d feel about the product, such that they could just look at the number and be good to go, but IMO the “feature list” has always been the most interesting part of the review, and it hasn’t gone anywhere.

I live in a neighborhood where every day I see more and more people who can’t make ends meet. Shops and services are closing every month and the storefronts stand empty.

The bank near me has signs up in their window “Celebrating 250 Years of the American Dream!”

Read the fucking room.

This seems to be a smoking gun:

Researchers say the most convincing evidence came from measuring how the cell expanded during charging.

When a battery charges, ions move into the anode, causing it to expand. Graphite anodes have a unique expansion pattern because of changes in graphite’s layered structure. The Donut Lab cell showed this exact pattern.

This finding matters because sodium ions are too big to fit into graphite the way lithium ions do. According to investigators, the graphite expansion pattern clearly shows that lithium is the active ion in the battery.

According to this calculator I should be eating 53g protein per day.

I did the math recently and I think that in order to hit what the WHO considers the minimum safe protein for my weight, I would have to eat WAY more, like twice what I typically do.

This may be a vegan-specific problem.

I can understand that. I’m 5’9" with an average build, and it’s really convenient that everything is made in exactly my size. Being much taller or shorter would just be annoying.

I have one. I use it to play fighting games and old arcade ports, mostly. I like it because I learned to play those games on arcade hardware as a kid, so it has the right feel for me.
