Focus on progress that has been made, solutions to the climate crisis have been growing exponentially over the past decade. And it's not a binary issue of everything is sunshine and rainbows vs we're all fucked. There's more of a spectrum. Also remember the past environmental successes we've had with like acid rain, the ozone layer, leaded gas, mercury pollution. We've come a long way.

Making any progress, no matter how small makes the future just that much better than it otherwise would be. Yes, systemic changes out of the control of anyone on Lemmy are needed, but if say every person on Lemmy worked towards reducing their own environmental impacts that could have huge ripple effects in the economy of the green transition. Just plan out pragmatically/realistically how much time, mental energy, and resources are worth it to you.

A lot things that individuals can do to help with the climate crisis often also have personal benefits like long term financial savings, less pollution exposure, healthier plant-based diets, etc.

I love my Ioniq 5, I was expecting Hyundai to gain momentum on EVs in the US.

Yes! The biggest factor with body weight is calories in vs calories out. Foods with volume and mass but fewer calories displace calorie dense foods. Even as simple as substituting popcorn vs potato chips is huge on calorie savings. Protein and fats (ideally plant based) can also help you feel full longer than say simple carbs like potato chips/white pasta.

I highly recommend Harvard's Nutrition Source for science-based nutrition info and recipes, the language is very accessible too!

When there's more people who want to buy homes than there are homes for sale, the power dynamic is still in favor of the sellers. Sounds like this could potentially favor more experienced buyers/hedge funds over first-time home buyers. If sellers don't want to cover fees for buyer's agent, then that's more a first time buyer would have to pay upfront.

Agreed! This is just the beginning, I'm convinced this was the plan all along for most smart devices. I will make an exception for products that can be conveniently operated when an account/app is optional at least.

Kroger and Albertsons own a ton of "other grocery chains." Classic example of just simply buying up the competition

I echo the other commenter and recommend speaking with a "registered dietician" (RD degree) about your personal nutrition goals.

Calories in/out, physical activity levels, and genetics are three of the biggest factors with blood cholesterol levels. Would you overall eat fewer calories if you switched to low fat dairy? Maybe then it's a decent strategy for you.

Harvard's Nutrition Source is a great educational resource about nutrition that is science based and uses accessible language.

Yes, US republicans also claim to be more responsible with government finances and have had far right factions taking over the past 20 years or so

Am I missing something? There is nothing new in the article. It's just contrasting Harris' Senate record and 2020 primary stances with the pragmatic political compromises that the Biden-Harris administration has made over the past 3.5 years because they had to deal with getting things through Congress. Of course the compromises made with Congress are going to be more to the right than what Harris has previously advocated for as her ideal stances, that's what politics is...

Any one else notice the shower controls OUTSIDE the shower?!

That's also quite a labyrinth of a front door patio

Creativity comes and goes. I don't like the internet's culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back

 

In a report, the regulator sharply criticized pharmacy benefit managers, a reversal from its longstanding hands-off approach to policing the companies.
