  • I was trying to count calories for my soup, some ingredients had calories on the package, but vegies and meat didn’t, so I went to online calculators. None of them were capable of measuring ingredients in grams - I have kitchen scales so can easily weight raw ingredients and put them in the calorie calculator, but all of them measure food in servings instead of concrete number, like what is one serving of my soup? And are the calories for raw ingredient going to be the same after being cooked? The only way to measure calories is to dehydrate it, burn in a special chamber and count the ammount of excluded energy. You can find people onlain making claims like “I’ve eaten 2017 kcals today”, but like how did you measure that 17 kcals with such a precision? The measurements I got from online calculators gave me a 500 kcal range of error, as in a serving of my soup could be 400 kcals or 900 kcal and again those are just estimates made from combining known calories of raw ingredients. Calories are for scientists and experiments, without equipment you can’t actually calculate the calories, just like you can’t really measure how many calories did you burn during the workout, again the range of error is huge, it’s good to keep in mind the calories in calories out idea, but actually measuring them is not for the 99% of thr population









  • You don’t do major changes regularly/every night, updates can be automated/performed on the weekends. Or you can do them during the normal working hours but also inform the users about the maintenance work by mail/push notifications. At work we use a service that provides notifications with times and dates about any possible downtimes.

    I guess I should’ve made a more narrow remark and add that only unnecessary night labor must be banned - I used to work on a production that required intensive manual labor with 8AM-8PM and 8PM-8AM shifts and the only reason for the 8PM-8AM shifts was to make production more efficient by sacrificing the workers’ health, although I know some people who love working at night and don’t care that they look 74 in their 50’s.








  • Same here for the past few weeks. It’s really hot and humid, I’m having hay fever, my kitten keeps waking me up, can’t do anything during the day with all the brain fog and fatigue, can’t fall asleep at night. Yesterday fell asleep during the day for unknown period for the first time in years, felt so much worse. They say it’s the hottest year again and also the peak of solar activity



  • 21 Century Fox studios who had the rights for the Alien franchise have been obtained by Didney like 5 years ago or something so that is a reference to Alen Ripley character who is now one of the didney princesses, and the alien queen from the second movie os ofcourse the didney queen💖

    Edit: I have a very smol brain and didn’t read the part about pants crapping befor leaving a comment so yeah just some adjacent trivia then, the character on the picture kinda still looks like Ripley
