  • Unicycler joyrides on the highway, runs from cop

    Jump

  • There is a police car with their lights on at the 15 second mark (far left of the frame). The driver of the motorcycle says "not the State Trooper!" It doesn't ever seem like the cop was actually chasing the guy on the unicycle.

  • (not a good idea) Aside from possible allergy concerns, what's stopping people from grinding all the food waste into a mixed paste?

    Jump

  • Hunger is not caused by people not finishing what is on their plate or by allowing over-ripe fruits and vegetables to be discarded.

    Hunger is caused by our profit based food distribution system.

    People with little or no money get little or no food. It sucks, but that is how it works.

    Unless you can somehow take the profit away from the final destination so that anyone who wants food can have food, that will not change. I can't even imagine a way to do it in an equitable fashion without a cultural shift away from money and towards having a healthy community that cares about the individual humans and is willing to share equally to do it.

  • What even is the use of a diagnosis?

    Jump

  • On most days, the piece of paper is just that; paper. But if you need medication, psychological counseling, or an accommodation for work or school, that piece of paper can be quite useful. On average, I feel like it is better to have it and not need it, rather than to need it and not have it.

  • Anyone with SAD: Have you tried a dawn simulator (or sunrise alarm as I think they're also called)?

    Jump

  • I have a wifi switch on a freestanding lamp in my bedroom that comes on every day at 7 am and stays on until I turn it off at night. I have found it really helps to wake me up in the morning without needing to use noisy alarms.

    I also have a dog and if I don't get up right away, he sees the light and starts pestering me to take him outside.

  • New York is about to do something EVIL. To reduce car insurance premiums, Governor Katy Hochul wants to cap compensation to crash victims

    Jump

  • Universal healthcare would reduce car insurance premiums significantly and could eliminate the need for health insurance.

  • Someone forgot to remove the protective film.

  • Does Matthew McConnahey refuse to play bald men?

    Jump

  • No idea.

  • Check out "Reign of Fire." (2002)Christian Bale and a very bald Mathew McConnahey.

  • EPA eliminates mention of fossil fuels in website on warming's causes. Scientists call it misleading

    Jump

  • From my perspective, the climate issue is not easy to fix but it is easy to understand.

    The planet closest to the sun is Mercury. On Mercury a day is equivalent to 88 days on Earth. In sunlight Mercury can be as hot as 420 °C (790 °F). In darkness Mercury can be as low as −170 °C (−270 °F). The reason for the difference is that Mercury has no atmosphere and is unable to retain heat.

    Now lets look at Venus. A day on Venus is 116.75 Earth days. The daytime and nighttime temperatures on Venus are nearly identical and have an average of 464 °C (867 °F). Venus has a very dense atmosphere that is mainly composed of carbon dioxide (96.5%) with the remainder being mostly nitrogen.

    The sun may be the source of the heat, but the reason it stays warmer or colder on our planet is directly related to how much carbon dioxide is present in the atmosphere. Increasing carbon dioxide makes us warmer and decreasing carbon dioxide makes us cooler. There are other factors, but those are the basics.

    The only practical control we have on carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is controlling and moderating our use of fossil fuel.

    It really is that simple.

  • What is your favorite kitchen gadget?

    Jump

  • Not a gadget exactly, but I love my chef knife! It's a Kan core chef knife. I have had it for several years now and enjoy using it every time. It is very sharp and is easy to keep sharp. It was not cheap, but not terribly expensive when compared to other professional quality knives. I use it almost every day and it has never disappointed me.

    For actual devices in the kitchen, I would say my Kitchenaid stand mixer is my favorite.

  • Recent news made me think

    Jump

  • I think it might be simpler than that. I think the people who were already invested in energy heard about the energy needs of AI and started investing there to prop up the cost fossil fuel. Then Trump and friends got involved and killed several renewable energy initiatives. I think it's all about greed, and not much else.

  • Raging Stephen Miller Suggests Slapping Handcuffs on Blue State Governor

    Jump

  • So Miller is mad because the governor won't protect the invading army of thugs? Is that what this is? He can't be serious. 🙄

  • What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over?

    Jump

  • Homeless shelter and soup kitchen! The President is there every other Thursday serving food and drinks to the guests. As is tradition.

  • The Worst Thing to Say to Someone With ADHD

    Jump

  • Not having good time awareness was my big issue growing up and for a significant part of adulthood. I was always losing track of time and showing up late for just about everything. People often suggested that I set an alarm to remind me. I didn't know how to explain to them that if two alarms wasn't enough, how would setting more do any good? (also those alarms needed to be maintained and adjusted, which added to the stress.)

    After my diagnosis I made two significant changes. First, I became self-employed. That eliminated the time clock issue. And since I could set my own schedule, it was much harder to actually be late. Second, I decided that I would not longer be upset with myself for being late for appointments. If I was late, that was something I could not go back and fix therefore it wasn't worth getting upset about.

    This had a dramatic effect on my ability to arrive on time. Almost overnight I was almost never late for anything and my stress level about it went down to almost nothing.

    I still get lose track of time on occasion. I can begin work on a project in the morning and suddenly realize that it is no longer daytime and several hours have gone by. But now I also have a dog and he reminds me to stop and take a break every two or three hours.

  • Rise & Shine Papaya stuffed with fruits & seeds

    Jump

  • Looks like chia seeds.

  • Can anyone recommend a good food processor? Mine broke. Specifically I want it to be able to make hummus with alacrity.

    Jump

  • A few years ago I was looking at buying a new food processor and a new blender. I wanted to buy something that would not wear out easily and that I could probably still get parts for if either one ever needed repair. Price was a bit of a factor but I was willing to pay for quality. I finally settled on a Cuisinart 14 cup food processor (DFP-14BKSY) and a Vitamix Standard (5200) blender. Both are professional quality and have been very reliable since the day I bought them more than five years ago.

  • People who don't like math, why?

    Jump

  • I think for people like me, it isn't that we dislike math. It's that we dislike having to work out the formulas without there being much instruction on what the formula is doing. I want to know the theory behind it. Explain, at least once in a while, what is happening in the formula. Without context of what the calculations and formulas are doing (including refreshers on the basics) it starts to become just a jumble of meaningless numbers.

    I find that my understanding of math is much better when I can see each step written out in long form. Once I understand what is happening, using the formulas is much easier.

    If the instruction is just a string of memorization exercises, I will pass the test when it is given, but would I fail that same test just a few months later because I will have no context to give it meaning and I will forget most of it.
