psud,

You use incantations for changing lights “red light green light one, two, three”

psud,

My local pharmacy has the mat still, it doesn’t operate the door anymore

As a kid you had to jump on them to make them work

psud,

I live in Australia near our mountain pastures. The meat supply is a mix of local grass fed and finished beef and lamb, and grain finished beef from up north

The grass finished meat has a healthier fat balance and tastes better

I always ask butchers where my meat was raised and how it was finished as that affects the ethics and flavour. I agree with you that meat raised on grain is wasteful.

Where’s the waste in what I buy? They drink from mountain streams, they eat grass. Most of their meat goes to human food, most of the rest goes to pet food, the skin becomes leather

When I cook more meat than I can eat, the extra goes in the fridge and I eat it for the next meal

On the relevant subreddit (which hasn’t moved to Lemmy) I have heard it’s easy to get grass finished beef in the US too

psud,

Eating zerocarb (aka carnivore) works, especially if you only drink tap water; Add coffee and you have to be a little careful

Also be careful on soaps and hair care

psud,
  1. Oh really? Funny I haven’t seen any nutritional deficiencies in my year on that way of eating, and haven’t died of scurvy even once. In fact I’m in the best health I ever have had since I was a youth
  2. Ethics? Eating animals raised on grass (in places which don’t support other agriculture) is worse than clear felling forests to support monoculture cereals?

My food supports the land it grows on, which hosts a myriad other species

psud,

My bicycle commute is 22km each way, and after riding for a few weeks, I was up for riding that plus a loop around the local lake (with a friend), then back home all on a Saturday, after doing that commute every day of the week before

Now e-bikes exist that’s even achievable by quite unfit people

psud,

I used to visit fuck cars, back when I was on Reddit. I own two cars, and I look forward to a time when I only need them to tow a trailer and/or go on holiday

psud,

My workplace provides showers and lockers for staff who sweat on their way to work.

I can leave my smelly cycling gear in my locker and change into the work clothes I carried in, and wear the shoes I leave at work in the locker

psud,

Buses where I live have a cargo rack at the front. If you had four bags of shopping (though that’s really quite a lot - the bags are big) you would tie the tops closed and leave them in one of the racks until you reached your destination

psud,

One becomes faster as one cycles more

psud,

My city was designed to be driven to. It was built after cars were common

But it’s still quicker to get from suburbia to city by bike than bus, but car is quicker still

psud,
  1. It’s rare that more than three people on a bus are doing shopping
  2. Carry an umbrella, and isn’t everything wrapped in plastic now?
psud,

Nope. Lots of people can walk to the shops. We have suburban centres typically 15 minutes walk away

psud,

I worked as one of my first jobs for my country’s telecoms former monopoly

We had to use the same phrase and say it with a smile when answering the phone: “welcome to Telstra, Psud speaking”

I now hate it when I slip into the vocal register I used there, but at least when I do, I’m usually using it ironically

psud,

You can look up beer recipes and buy equipment and ingredients from it though. And use web based or spreadsheet calculators on it to do beer related calculations

That beer is also not free, but assuming you make beer for a long time the price per pint (half litre to split the difference between UK and US pints) tends toward about 20c (though highly hopped beers like hazy pale ale can get towards a dollar a pint) which is pretty cheap

psud,

It depends on your industry. I’m in an agile development team, working in AWS in Java. I’m not a dev, so my work is in spreadsheets, word processor documents, web utilities like Azure Dev Ops

All that is platform independent, though we have to work on the organisation’s computers, so we work in the office on windows PCs or from home on whatever, remoted into a windows machine or VM

The devs work in VMs which are variously windows or GNU/Linux depending on what the person’s previous project was.

psud,

I haven’t tried running anything new, but the stuff I have run in wine has worked easily, without any tweaking

psud,

GIMP will be great once it no longer needs to dodge patents

Audio players work great now MP3 is out of patent (before that MP3 was really only available if you were willing to ignore the patent)

psud,

You can’t say that without explaining the reference. How can they be one of the lucky 10 000 when they still don’t get it?

psud, (edited )

Don’t worry about the terminal until or unless you have something to do that needs it, then follow a guide

Incidentally if a guide tells you to run a program in terminal, you can check what that program is supposed to do

  • man command (eg. man mount) gives you the manual, if it has a manual
  • command -h or --help gives you the command’s help page - pipe it through “less” if it’s more than a single screen eg: ls -h | less
