yes, but they're still right. Of course CICO (Calories in, Calories out) is a thing, but the Calories out part (e.g. exercise) does not have as much leverage as he calories in part.

it's just so very easy to take in thousands of calories in 1-2 hours (think burger, fries, milkshake and alcoholic drinks). On the other hand, most people will struggle to burn more than say 800kcal/hr - and that's why we say weight is gained or lost in the kitchen.

    Ah yes, the country of "small" and the city of "everyone". Does someone have a link to the original?

    I tried to find an actual Forbes article with this graphic, but came up empty.

    So far, this thing screams "Source: trust me bro"

    That's not to say that Russia doesn't press gang people into their armed forces. I feel like that's been established by now.

    not OP but I'm pretty sure they don't mean disposable vapes (which should not be used by anyone ever due to their environmental impact) but rather the herb vaporizers you can use to put ground weed in and then inhale the vaporized contents.

    I got one for myself and it's just an all around swell experience.

    Any time someone brings this up I wonder if they're financed by the fossil fuel industry as it's just such a weird point to make.

    First: consider the alternatives: Every form of energy has an environmental cost associated with it. Surely we agree that while not perfect, PV is vastly superior in this regard to gas/coal/oil? It might even be less polluting than nuclear, but it's early here and I'm too tired to research this.

    Second: PV modules have a very long life span. At least 20 years. After that time, they'll probably be operating still, but at maybe 60-80% of peak performance. That's probably not good enough for commercial use, but I built myself a nice little garden shed solar array using "old" modules because they were basically free and I don't care that much about peak performance in my use case. That's to say, these things can still be used for a long time.

    Third: if they ever do need to be completely recycled, well, that's doable. In the EU, it's actually compulsory. The processes are there, although they don't quite scale yet. That's mainly because there's just not that many old modules to recycle yet.

    sooo with all that going on, what exactly are you basing your point on?

    You are in the wrong side of this.Theres a German doc shedding some light on this issue:

    https://youtu.be/vogs4NzqI3Q (money quote around 7:07), basically "half the perpetrators of child sexual abuse do not feel an attraction to kids. On the other hand, half the people who do feel attracted to kids do not become perpetrators."

    Basically, half the people abusing kids don't do so because they're attracted to kids but presumably because they're easier victims whereas half the people getting attracted to life feel disgusted by themselves.

    It's, for all that we know, as congenital as being straight or queer. Now, with queer and straight preference, you don't necessarily run into consent problems. Imagine you notice yourself being attracted to, idk, 15-year-olds. You're otherwise a reasonably well adjusted human being. That's gotta be devastating. You can't help it, you were born this way. There's no redemption arc here, the only thing you can do is just never ever give in to this feeling.

    nope, that's called due process under the rule of law. Innocent until proven guilty. His guilt doesn't seem to have been established beyond reasonable doubt, if I understand correctly.

    Now, if the police had turned up damning evidence, he would not have been sent home, but sentenced. And hopefully been put in jail for a very long time.

  • Discord?! (feddit.de)
     

    Yo,

    I just got a "come join us on Discord"-Popup inviting Sync users to join the community for Sync for Lemmy on Discord.

    Two questions:

    1. Why and
    2. Why?

    I don't want the join another Sync community when I have this one right here AND I especially do not want to join a community on Discord.

    It just seems a bit tine deaf?

    LJ, the reason I feel so strongly about this is that I really like Sync! We have an awesome app and we have a good community here. What gives?

     

    Moin!

    Ich habe endlich eine neue Stelle gefunden! Hurra! Das Unternehmen, bei dem ich im September anfange, ist tariflich gebunden. Es ist ein Großhandelsunternehmen, d.h. der Tarif wird mit der Ver.di ausgehandelt (wenn ich da salles richtig verstanden habe).

    Jetzt überlege ich beizutreten, einfach so aus Arbeitnehmer:innen-Solidarität. Dabei höre ich von allen Gewerkschaften am wenigsten Gutes über die Verdi. Habt ihr andere oder ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht oder gibt es eine Alternativ-Gewerkschaft, bei der ich Mitglied werden könnte und falls ja, lohnt das angesichts des Tarifeinheitsgesetzes?

    Vielen Dank für eure Einblicke!

     

    Habt ihr Erfahrungen mit dem Modell oder sogar dem Makler? Gerne her damit!

    Bin leider selber Recht unerfahren was eine gute due diligence ausmacht und habe nicht für notwendigen Finanzmarktskills um die Prospekte zu verstehen. Ich halte Anteile an zwei ETFs, die in "grüne Energie" investieren, fände aber eine direktere Investition spannend.

    Leider finde ich online keine Berichte über die oder mein google-fu lässt mich im Stich.

     

    Diese fünfteilige Dokureihe ist wirklich spektakulär gut, u.a. weil der Journalist einfach so aufrichtig authentisch und polyglott daherkommt. Aber auch die Themen kommen nicht zu kurz: biodynamischer Anbau, Permakultur, Weideviehhaltung, Bodenaufbau, no-till Anbau, chop and drop und viel viel mehr Themen aus dem Bereich der nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft werden an konkreten Beispielen mit den Landwirt:innen selbst teils kritisch begutachtet.
