A reasonable policy

Sleep five minutes, play five minutes, eat, repeat! Very busy kitty.

Aww that's so cute!

I mean I still see comics from time to time from his that are amusing.

At this point I kind of just accept that all long running comics/web comics have some absolute awful arcs/panels. I think I assume it just comes with having to come up with content daily and they probably can't spend a lot of time thinking about it?

This is bad and you should feel bad.

How dare you take the most out of pocket and tone deaf comic and make it a heart breaking political piece?

Raspberries? Oof I can't imagine great. But let's see.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Frozen-Whole-Red-Raspberries-12-oz/10543665?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

$4 for 200 calories. So raspberries would be off the top at 2 dollars for 100 calories (just looking at nutrition label). Fresh has even worse.

Kumquat I can't find a solid price on, but given each fruit has about 13 calories, I can't imagine it's a good source of them.

So yeah those are for sure flavor and vitamin eats and not calorie eats XD

They said Walmart is the source... so off I go!

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Cashew-Halves-Pieces-27-oz/315393128?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1200&from=/search

Based on the nutrition label the container has 4,320 calories at about 10 dollars.

So 1 dollar for 400 calories, or .25 for 100.

But given they reference walmart and USDA it's very likely these are not accurate outside the US.

The fact that he took this chance to target a group of innocent immigrants again who have already been the target of death threats as a result of his lies, and then he had the audacity to tell them not to fact check him?

He's a monster and I can't stand him.

Fingers crossed for them! I hope they get the wages they need to not need to live by this chart, and guarantees that even as the docks modernize the workers will have good paying jobs regardless.

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Haha I mean brown rice is cheaper! And buying flour then making baked goods is cheaper! Do not embrace the dark side!

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Oh yeah he mentions his source is Walmart in a specific state, but amazon is more consistent here.

Always interesting to hear how different stuff is in different countries!

Yeah canned tuna is almost always a dollar for a dinky little can of 100 calories. A pound of wings has many times that, with the online one I found being $3/lb.

So I guess this chart is doing a pretty good job at breaking up some preconceived notions!

 

Stolen from Reddit

But I loved it. Also this has Shrimp removed, because it was on the OG chart due to an error and this is an updated version.

EDIT: Here is one for protein! https://www.reddit.com/r/budgetfood/comments/1fp2ytb/foods_cost_per_gram_of_protein_vs_protein_density/#lightbox

 

After months of reminders in team meetings on how to do this properly, supervisors have sicced me on the department.

I have been informed that if the issues continue, supervisors will start pulling people in for chats on why they can't follow directions that were laid out.

Pray I am the only monster you meet, for I am the kindest.

 
 

Eating the proper amount is hard. Eating when you have low time, money, mental energy, or education on cooking is even harder.

This book assumes nothing. Do you know how to turn on your stove? You are properly prepared to use this cookbook.

Just want to share it with more folks!

 

Game goes into full release in less then a day, so why not learn build orders to be the ultimate try hard??

 

My two are:

Making sourdough. I personally always heard like this weird almost mysticism around making it. But I bought a $7 starter from a bakery store, and using just stuff in my kitchen and cheap bread flour I've been eating fresh sourdough every day and been super happy with it. Some loafs aren't super consistent because I don't have like temperature controlled box or anything. But they've all been tasty.

Drawing. I'm by no means an artist, but I always felt like people who were good at drawing were like on a different level. But I buckled down and every day for a month I tried drawing my favorite anime character following an online guide. So just 30 minutes every day. The first one was so bad I almost gave up, but I was in love with the last one and made me realize that like... yeah it really is just practice. Years and years of it to be good at drawing things consistently, quickly, and a variety of things. But I had fun and got something I enjoyed much faster than I expected. So if you want to learn to draw, I would recommend just trying to draw something you really like following a guide and just try it once a day until you are happy with the result.

I just think this little youtuber is cool, his best videos are reviewing free steam games.

 

Since gasoline because unusable after awhile, most cars will become obstacles and block up roads.

So we of course want something that can zip around the roads!

The main advantages I see are:

  1. Peddle when out of juice

  2. Peddling charges the batteries, so in an emergency you can turn on the battery

  3. The batteries can reasonably be charged by solar panels that a lot of houses have.

  4. Gets around all the blocked roads.

  5. Generally easier to repair.

  6. The distance travelled on a full battery is absurd

I don't expect any movies to put their heroes on an eBike, but they should!

IDK just thought you'd appreciate my dumb thought XD Any other reasons why during an apocalypse you should find an ebike?

 

We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!

I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I've been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

 

Would love to see what niche/under appreciated creators are out there! Also what your favorite videos are of theirs!

Mine is this guy who creates songs based on Age of Empires 2 SFX and content creators/pros. So he's SUPER niche and will probably never become big, but I still adore him.

Catchy song made with AOE2 sfx

A totally legit love song about how much a pro named MBL loves another player called Hoang.

A content creator named T90 told a story about how he got absolutely rinsed in a game, and it was memorialized as a banger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suXZqC3VrUw

So yeah! Show me your tiny content creators that you adore!
