  • The real American household poverty line isn’t $31,200, it’s around $140,000.

  • When my youngest son was born we were barely making it and looked into getting benefits.

    We were told we were disqualified for around $500 a month of various benefits (housing, food, etc) because I made $50/month too much.

    I may have sung this one a few times to my wife in the morning.

    My brother-in-law Geof, loves this song. My sister-in-law Chella doesn't.

  • EPA urged to ban spraying of antibiotics on US food crops amid resistance fears

  • Bacterial disease on crops are very hard to control. Traditionally there is not much l chemistry that can control them effectively. This is especially true on tree fruit where bacterial disease can cause a lot of damage. Bacterial diseases on annual crops from seed are usually controlled by phytosanitary procedures (like acid seed extraction in tomatoes).

    So if you got an apple or an orange grown in the U.S. it likely had some antibiotic sprayed on it.

    The traditional control has been copper. Copper unfortunately sticks around permanently and builds up to some pretty toxic levels.

    If you eat organic, it's had a shit ton of copper sprayed on it.

  • Ukrainian Ground Drone Attacks a Russian MT-LB | Suchomimus | Youtube (-> Invidious Link)

    Jump

  • Looks like a MT-LB has a max of 16mm of armor.

    At point blank range the .50 has enough power to punch right through the armor but it depends on what type of bullets it was loaded with and the angle they hit the armor.

    I doubt the ones dead on to the front did much. The MT-LB has a sloped front which likely deflected most of them.

    The last bit of the video where they hit it in the flat rear area. That likely fucked them all up. That's usually the thinnest armor and the lack of slope means no deflection.

  • Hi guys, how many of you are here as an alternative to Reddit?

    Jump

  • I have been working through deleting reddit comments. Then reddit repopulates them because they are hit by a Google search. So so I go through and delete them again.

    When reddit blocked my favorite mobile app, I bailed. So I am now on connect for Lemmy. It works almost seemlessly now with a few bugs. It's basically the same user experience as the old Tapatalk for forums that they made almost 20 years ago now. A good user interface is a good userinterface.

  • Thoughts and prayers to anyone doing time with family or in-laws this week

    Jump

  • My wife didn't completely believe how my family treated me growing up. She just couldn't comprehend the level of assholeness.

    So I took her to Christmas with my family once. That's all it took. She quickly realized that I was barely mentioning some of the larger things they had done. I wasn't even mentioning all the smaller things.

    Do you think 20 is too young for a guy to get married?

    Jump

  • There is a lot of changes for most people in their late teens/early 20's. As teens make the conversion to full adulthood, life has a way of rearranging priorities and changing attitudes.

    Because of this romantic relationships that form prior 18 years old have around a 90% chance of dissolution within 10 years.

    So do yourself a favor, give yourself 4-5 more years to get through schooling, work, pay bills etc and then look at getting married.

    My wife's college roommate married the guy she started dating at 14. They went to different universities 2 hours apart. They lived together when she went to grad school. They got married when they were 26 and have been happily married with 3 kids for over 20 years now.

  • Discounts

    Jump

  • Yep, 10 years with a reseller. I have 5 lines now and my bill is $150/month. I always purchase unlocked phones so I have the option of swapping whenever I want. I only run midrange phones and run them for 3+ years. I also pay for cable internet for another $80/month. Can't wait until the fiber company finally gets around to installing in my neighborhood. That will cut that bill down by 1/2.

  • "Regular" peas are are still harvested immature only at a later development stage. Fully mature peas are very hard like a dry bean.

    Sweet corn contains gene mutations that reduces the sugar to starch conversion in the kernal. So the sugar builds up in the kernal instead. The varieties are classified by the gene or combinations of genes they contain (su, se, or sh2). When the seed is fully mature and dry the seed looks like a raisin because of the lack of starch

    I used to have reaction times like that made other people weep. I was constantly on watchlists for cheating and even banned by a few poor losers in private servers. Those days are well in the past now.

  • The kitchen, dining and living room being together is pretty normal in smaller places. I have lived in several that were open that way over the years. It's not great but it's doable. The lack of wall space so less cabinets/closets and overall storage is the usual problem.

    However the bedroom.... That's a bit too far.
