The number of murders so far is what they’ve been doing while having a certain number of immigrants to still chase down. As that number of immigrants to chase dwindles, their activity won’t. And the number of citizen resistors and ensuing death will increase accordingly. 100 murders is being very, very conservative I feel.

I’m guessing this is a piefed problem (I’m not a user there) but Lemmy.world has been great for me. My suggestion is using lemmy.world and dabbling in piefed. Piefed will need a bit of time I’m assuming.

How dare you call out Pixels like that.

What I’m talking about but maybe didn’t do a very good job of explaining is metabolic adaptation. It can take months before your body adjusts, before you figure out what calorie deficit is needed and it varies wildly from person to person. Our brains can burn calories to be more creative or slow down to preserve ideal body weight. Which can negate a wide amount of calorie usage. https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2023/07/05/its-time-to-bust-the-calories-in-calories-out-weight-loss-myth.html

The big difference is the effect of a calorie for each person differs. How the body chooses to burn a calorie differs. If person A reduces their diet by 3000 calories in a week they might lose a pound. Person B might not. CICO is literally thermodynamics, you’re very right. How our bodies react to thermodynamics varies quite a bit.

I think the technical term is toilet paper. I don’t know, I’m not very good with legal jargon.

That absolutely makes sense. Friendica isn’t exactly the friendliest to get going.

Since you very likely did the research, what brought you to Humhub instead of Friendica?

There was a lot of adrenaline needed to get through it. I very much don’t suggest anyone ever do it.

I once worked for 32 hours straight in a print shop to get a project out the door. Print shops (especially then) were fucking insane pressure cookers. The same intensity as an ER only stupid because instead of lives being on the line it was money. A lot of money, but just money. Early 00’s, everything was output on film back then. Had a weird error in an image that was used throughout a catalog. Normally, you could send a working signature through to the press, but the image was in every signature except the cover. I tried every possible trick I knew to get it to work, output film to test it, back to the drawing board. But yeah, 32 hours straight on this one thing. Finished up at around 4am, drove home but just kind of kept driving. Slightly delirious. Parked on top of a ridge off the shoulder and watched the sun come up. Went home and slept for I don’t even know how long.

As of yesterday, I think the decisive action has begun. Financially and militarily should the US attempt to invade Greenland.

The Republicans would find and use the same power that Democrats have constantly ignored.

Okay, but what happens if you spell favorites wrong?

At least the monks could vape.

Data centers will consume…

No, data centers that are slated to be built say they’ll consume. If they don’t get built because they run out of funding or the bubble bursts, then they won’t consume. They’re trying really fucking hard to make fetch happen.

My Boomer mom wouldn’t even show up to my sporting events. I feel taking a bullet isn’t in the cards.

He’s using Darth Vader logic. Classic.

Yeah, I was being a bit glib about that. Who knows, maybe we can bankrupt Tesla before he does.

I think you’re looking at averages and not median. The US has a lot more billionaires and now trillionaires. Median household income in Australia is $1800/week and in the US it’s $1500/week and plummeting plus our unemployment is now through the roof to a degree that’s not even being measured accurately. And we go broke from healthcare.

I know you pay more for some elements of gaming, and you’re being shafted on that. But maybe check the news out a little and ask if Call of Duty is really worth all this.

I am in the midst of setting up a Friendica install for my larger community. I’m trying out Elest.io for it, using netcup servers so I don’t have to deal with the security and hardening and starting off as cheap as possible with expandability. Just to try to filter people away from Facebook. A lot of people are starting to leave Facebook and I think it’s time to go back to basics. I might try to set up a Matrix server as well, but one thing at a time.
