Nah, I’m not going to wash out take out containers and store them until I have enough to take them to a recycling center

I found this article to be interesting. You could always not click on it if you don’t care.

Worked for me years back. Not saying you’re wrong but it can definitely make the difference. Or maybe it could hurt, who knows.

Now that is something I definitely didn’t know. I guess I’ll stick (no pun intended) to olive oil spray now. Thanks Claire.

When I read the headline I was confused because I thought you meant it mattered what side the jcups were on. I can’t imagine trying to rerack a heavy squat backwards.

Wow, these pending comments are a dumpster fire. Good article though Beth.

Lots of people turn their monitors vertically for this reason. Typically I see it with people who code and want to see more code on a screen. Of course, this is usually with a multi-monitor setup because I wouldn’t want to solely work on that.

Okay but what is the base rate? Saying you’re twice as likely to catch something on a plane when the base rate is really low is still really low.

lol, k

Nah, that’s dumb.

It’s still not supporting the diamond industry. If everyone shifted to lab grown De Beers wouldn’t keep going for blood diamonds. That’s like saying don’t buy oatmeal or you’re supporting the soda business since PepsiCo owns Quaker Oats and Pepsi.

That’s dumb. The lab grown diamond industry is not the same as the diamond industry. It’s the exact same as any other synthetic stone industry. Buying a lab grown diamond has zero relationship to “real” diamonds.

It’s supporting the diamond industry as much as lab grown beef is supporting the cattle industry.

You can certainly buy a lab-grown diamond, but all moissanite stones are synthetic rather than mined, which mitigates many concerns over the ethics of the diamond industry.

I have a PS4 and Switch, not the biggest gamer by any means but I do enjoy it casually. I looked at trying to get a PS5 and I see absolutely no reason to. There isn’t a single PS5 exclusive game I want to play and there are a number of very highly reviewed PS4 games I haven’t tried yet.

Yeah it’s fine to tell people they need to take precautions, we’ve been saying that for well over a year now but people gonna do what people gonna do.

There’s a lot of maybes and what ifs there, I’ll wait for the data to give us a better picture. If there are lots of breakthrough infections and those people get less sick then it will reduce the population level impact. With relatively high vaccination rates and already endured a large delta wave there are quite a…

That’s how it is here, the city I am in is blue leaning but the state is red. Our city has good vaccination rates but when we had surges our hospitals got filled because we had to take in the people from surrounding areas. We at least had our delta surge already and it has completely wound down to pre-delta levels.…

It is obviously situation and location dependent but I’m not too worried about omicron here. We have a pretty high % of our population vaccinated compared to the rest of the country (around 80% of adults are fully vaccinated and 70% if you include 5 and up) and our hospitals are at about as low as it’s been. I’m…

I mostly agree with you but there is a big difference in student loans and a car loan or a mortgage. If worse case scenario you can walk away from the car loan or the mortgage and/or you can declare bankruptcy. Student loans don’t allow that. Of course, those loans have some collateral whereas a loan to go to school…
