I think their point is that scaling to the volume of beef production of other countries isn’t correct because the methods of production vary widely enough to produce much different results. As in, some countries likely produce more or less CO2/kg of beef so it makes no sense to simply scale the number they got from a single county to global scales.

Not the guy you’re replying too though, so I’m not certain.

I imagine they could if they knew exactly what you did and when, but if it doesn’t get discovered until later and nobody knows what happened, it would probably be a bitch to figure out

What I’m getting from reading these responses is that exercise can alleviate some of the crushing effects of depression, but because it’s difficult and time consuming, you’ll need a better reason for it than just “I’m suppose to” otherwise you’ll just be making your life harder and creating an unhealthy relationship with exercise.

Everybody has to fight through the first few months to genuinely create a good workout habit, but if you start small (such as a 20 minute walk 3-4 days a week), you’ll be able to ease into the really good stuff without so much hardship. The plan is to be working out for life, so what’s the rush?

I believe the army created negative associations in me about exercise, since they used it as punishment and I always had the anxiety of my next PT test hanging over my head. It took a few years to disentangle myself from those connections and begin working out the way I wanted to and really seeing the results I was looking for. Now, after ~5 years of very frequent exercise, I’m finally getting to the point where I feel like it’s a net positive to my mental health.

Early 20’s here with 65y/o parents 👋

Even more so, it’s turned into a hot button topic where people will be actively pissed of at you if you try to bring it up in discussion, calling it a “dog whistle” for nazi / anti-women ideology.

Consciousness can’t be made… Right now. What’s to stop us from doing so eventually?

I’m sure millennia back people also said “lightning can’t possibly be controlled” and now we use it to make rocks do math so we can shitpost

I went on a deployment, got a nice gaming laptop for that. When I got home back to my desktop, I basically had no need for it so I hooked it up to my living room TV. At first I just played some controller friendly games on it, but now I use it as the entire media center with Stremio and qbittorrent and the likes. I use unified remote to have my phone as the remote.

I live in the middle of a sprawling wind farm. Every direction I turn, I can see wind turbines looking ominously over my neighbor’s houses. It’s awesome, and way more interesting than the hundreds of square miles of corn fields they otherwise occupy.

My first ever time playing DnD, I was a rogue so I naturally approached every door with “can I try to pick it?”

Worst that happened was the DM describes me making an idiot of myself, twiddling with lockpicks for five minutes before noticing it’s just unlocked :P

Probably because hangover severity increases exponentially as you age. A 16 year old can knock back 20 shots in a night and basically die, but wake up with no hangover.

A 40 year old can drink 3 beers and spend 2 days recovering.

Extreme examples yes, but the younger you are the less you have to worry about hangovers and how to prevent / manage them.

I think OSINT, Open-source intelligence, would be more akin to trolling on social media. They’re the ones who crawl through Instagram and shit to ID Russian soldiers locations when they post selfies and the likes.

Oh-zero-hundred or zero-hundred if we gotta. Generally… Midnight lol

Army here, we always say 0000 for midnight, but honestly that’s probably just because it’s what our phones and watches call it. Perhaps it was different before electronic timekeeping was the norm.

I’m used to the army, when I’m packing for field stuff, I know that no matter how much I pack for luxury my kit and equipment will still be 80% of the load minimum. Would I rather hump 80 lbs 20 miles and have a miserable night, or hump 85 lbs and have hot coffee and a single person tent I can jerk off comfortably in? Easy choice for me.

When I go hiking with my family I pretty much just carry emergency supplies and the liquor stash, knowing we’ll be back to the tents by nightfall.

Long and short, you remove weapons armor and ammo from the picture and it’s a lot more impactful to play with the weight. Shaving 5 lbs off a 20 lbs load can let you go 5 more miles when it’s for leisure.

When I get deja vu, it feels to me like I’ve dreamt of whatever is happening before, I’ve always pretty easily been able to say “oh it’s just deja vu” and move on.

But once, I woke up and told my wife about a strange dream involving very specific details of a situation with me and my brother. Along the lines of my brother throwing a beer can, it bounced off the trash can, bounced off me, then back into the trash can.

A few days later, my brother did exactly that. I was dumbstruck, even my wife was like “what the hell”

My take on why this doesn’t work RAW is there’s a time that states “specific beats general”

When you use a crossbow as a melee weapon, it specifically belongs an improvised melee weapon for the attack, which trumps the general rule that a crossbow is ranged weapon.

I would even go so far as to say that means it doesn’t qualify for GWM either.

I’ve heard of polyphia but never listened to them. The fact you recommended them next to Snarky Puppy was what got me to look them up, and WOW!

Ayy ;)

I’ve read a series called “Galaxy’s Edge”, and in it, the 1% on earth had furthered their stranglehold on media, propaganda, resources, etc, and Earth was finally crumbling. Food wars, corporate armies, the whole shebang. Eventually, the 1% pooled their resources together to just leave Earth on massive colony ships, ditching the unwashed masses to die in pursuit of a new start.

What makes me laugh is that once they all dipped, earth just… Recovered. Got through the hard times and developed hyperdrive to jump off into the stars themselves, getting to all the planets thousands of years before the slower-than-light colony ships the original 1% left in. When they finally start emerging from the dark of interstellar space, their zealous beliefs that they’re the most important people in the universe has convinced them to chase down fucked up biotech and they’re all post human monstrosities hell bent on destroying the “animals” who have lived in relative harmony without their existence.

Can’t help but feel like that rings a bell. The billionaires will rape our planet to death and then just dust off in private space ships leaving us for dead. If we pull through, they’ll come back to keep raping.

I tried explaining that a little bit back, that my house is cheaper for me to own and live in, including ALL expenses, than current apartments of much smaller size, and some person (probably a landlord) engaged in a back and forth with me basically calling me a dirty liar over and over.
