Faresh,

lemmy.ml is a lemmy instance run by the developers of lemmy. lemmy.ml is federated with hexbear, so you can read their posts and we can read your posts.

Faresh,

2.5 GB in 30 seconds is 83 MB/s.

Faresh,

Does this mean we won’t have to worry about the return of bacterial infections as one of the leading causes of human mortality?

Faresh,

Lojban has attitudinals with which you can explicitly state what the tone of your sentence is: lojban.org/…/chapter-attitudinals.html

Faresh,

Paying attention to my breathing has sometimes worked (though not always) (not changing it, but feeling how your chest goes up and down and hearing the air rushing in and out and maybe even picturing the rhythm in your head). It distracts me from other thoughts and calms me down.

If that doesn’t work, I try to distract myself with an interesting fiction book. That normally brings my head to less adrenaline-inducing thoughts (since now when trying to fall asleep I will be more focused on who the murderer of the dead child could be, or why the Zogophonts abandoned that resource-rich planet)

Faresh,

I think the point is that compared to public transport when transporting a large number of people, they are inefficient.

Faresh,

I don’t quite understand the use-case for the pi-hole. Why use it, when one could simply use something like µBlock Origin?

Faresh,

With nowhere to escape, the pressure ripped through the soft tissue, and although rare and unusual, they say others should be aware of the danger.

Trapping a sneeze could also damage the ears or even rupture a brain aneurysm, they warn in journal BMJ Case Reports.

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

Faresh,

I use SearXNG. It is a meta search engine so it use results from various other search engines and you can specify which with !. It does the job for me.

Faresh,

I’m surprised anyone knew.

Faresh,

a shovel produces the same amount of use-value whether it is sold for $5 or $25

Not disagreeing with anything you said, but use-value is a qualitative property of a commodity, not quantitative, so we can’t speak of an “amount of use-value”, AFAIK.

Faresh,

What if it’s just a human-shaped crate, just 6 rough, untreated planes of wood nailed together? That couldn’t be that expensive, right?

Faresh,

I haven’t. But I can’t imagine a human shaped shipping crate to cost close to 1000 $.

Faresh,

Faresh,

That’s why you should believe in the god Sithrak (warning: other comics by same creator are nsfw)

Faresh,

Everytime I hear someone mention sinus, I get confused about what that is. Wikipedia says it’s airpockets surrounding the nose. I don’t feel anything besides fat and bone when I press down around my nose. Are they inside the skull? How do you access them?

Faresh,

Huh. I had the complete opposite experience. I found fedora’s manual partitioner to be the worst of any distro I’ve ever used (I had trouble understanding it and it always ended up giving me some weird error when trying to finalize the partitioning step). I think I just ended up ditching fedora’s default manual partition manager.

Faresh,

This is very likely my very environmentally influenced view, but I think there was a period of time where being vegan was a trend among the health hipsters, who weren’t vegan due to ethics, but because either everyone else was doing it or because they claim it has massive health benefits like they did for paleo, keto or other diets. Those I think could indeed fit that stereotype. Or maybe I’m living in a fairy tale.

Faresh,

They are on lemmy.world which AFAIK isn’t federated with lemmygrad, so I don’t think they can read you.

Faresh, (edited )

In the west, the main cause of malnutrition isn’t a lack of calories, but a difficulty in access (from availability or price or other factors) to healthy foods with the required nutrition for a healthy life or from an excess of certain nutrients. This is often manifested as conditions such a obesity and type II diabetes. So malnutrition does impact people in the west.

Faresh,

Huh. I wonder if GNU find should be modified, so that -delete only works when explicitly given a directory.

Faresh,

That would imply having to draw the prophet Muhammad.

Faresh,

You just insulted the camera man. :D

Faresh, (edited )

You could cross-post it to !flatearth

Faresh,

You can always make it more active.
