  • Where the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation stands as it enters its 3rd week

    Jump

  • I find it difficult to believe that this kidnapping is the only one in progress and also sufficiently more important (than the other kidnappings) to justify the additional news coverage.

    But, my heart does go out to her family and other loved ones.

  • Yet another reason to hate on the worse DB in existence

    Jump

  • Oracle is not the worse DB in existence. They are a worse company than MS, but I'd much rather be talking to Oracle than MSSQL.

    (My go-to is PostgreSQL, tho.)

  • Anyone else about ready to give up on the internet?

    Jump

  • Unfortuntely, nothing fine-grained enough for me. But, you can block communities and users (or even whole instances).

    I prefer the keyword filters on Mastodon, but I don't mind the political stuff, so my needs are clearly different from yours.

  • Definitely burning. It is possible to make reusable plastics out of oil, e.g.

    Of course, plastics might have their own problems, but they aren't always CO2 emissions.

    It seems unlikely we'll be able to completely eliminate plastics (current medical practices is the sticking point I see), tho we can certainly make a more "circular economy" around them, to reduce the need for oil extraction.

  • Pizza Hut closing 250 US stores as parent company considers selling the brand

    Jump

  • I only buy pizza from The Hut.

    See, this pizza comes with cheese in the crust; that's not normal, it's awesome!

    (Seriously tho, the Dominoes is closer, and if someone local was making the equivalent of "sutffed crust", I'd order from them. But, I'll pay a premium for cheese in the crust.)

    EDIT: TIL Dominos has a stuffed crust option as of May 2025, and Papa Murphy's might.

  • Five-Alarm Fire Warning After Trump Says 'Republicans Ought to Nationalize the Voting'

    Jump

  • We should have nationwide consistency on who is eligible to vote (felons?) and how/when to register to vote (same day? automatic as part of getting state id?), yes. I think that's actually what his addled brain was thinking of, even if it's because he thinks blue states "cheat" at all states from rules-making to operations, which we have good evidence no state does, blue or red--other than gerrymandering.

    But, there's little need for it to be actually administered by the federal government (our state and local governments are corrupt enough). In fact, any election activities by the federal government should be more like FEMA, where they assist the states be the states remain in control from procedures to priorities and everything else.

    I wouldn't be opposed to UN election observers, either.

    I don't know if this it "the line", but I wouldn't expect anything less than state pd vs. national guard standoffs at voting locations in blue states, just like we had around schools during desegregation in ex-confederate states. Blue state governors are unlikely to stand down; they generally has good poll numbers / support.

    I'm in Arkansas so it won't matter if they nationalize or not; plus, Sanders will volunteer for nationalization of our voting operations and claim it saves money and benefits the people of Arkansas.

  • So far, everything I've wanted is freeleech, so that hasn't been an issue. I continue to seed, but the ratios are much worse for the same amount of time seeding.

  • I hate that a ratios on the private tracker I joined are so bad. I feel dishonest.

    My public torrents routinely have 10-25 times the ratio.

  • I'm not a hunter myself, but plenty of venison on the menu in my childhood in rural Arkansas. It's definitely inferior to good beef. But, if you treat it like a tough, lean cut of cow, it's fine. Usually this means adding fat, slow cooking, or both. I never found the taste bad, but chewy and ropy is definitely the default texture unless you work hard to make it more palatable.

    When I cook at home, I'm vegan (beans, quinoa, cheese substitute, mostly), but when I go out I can certainly appreciate all meats and dairies.

  • There are FOSS games, in all the major genres. They are generally acquired the same way you acquire other applications in your OS. For me it's aptitude on the command-line, but that's far from the most common experience. (I really like "Singularity" which is a strategy game where you play as a newly sentient AI; Wesnoth is also good.)

    There are a near endless supply of gratis independent games on itch.io and probably other sites. I do think there's some FOSS trackers that will help you manage game installations that are not done through the OS application management, but I can't name one.

    I just use steam, but I'm not a purist in what I consume -- I also use Discord and have a YT Premium subscription. I AM a purist in what I force other people to consume: what I publish is always under AGPLv3 or CC-SA or some other "strong copyleft".

  • Thank you. I just saw her video on that yesterday (via Nebula), and I was coming in these comments to make sure she was visible.

  • The share of Americans medically obese is projected to rise to almost 50% by 2035

  • 10K on a nordic track

    My 5k treadmill times are about novice: https://runninglevel.com/running-times/5k-times

    My 10k treadmill times are about beginner: https://runninglevel.com/running-times/10k-times

    (I'm 45.)

    I'm not going to discourage a low level of exercise (or even not exercise, but activity), but I think the NIH recommendations reflect that my peer group (I'm a professional programmer and hobbist gamer; so pretty sedentary outside of intentional exercise) are very unhealthy.

  • their version of lifting weights is like 10lb dumbells and 5lb ankle weights. not full body lifting

    They specifically mention resistance across all muscle groups and recommend a single set (8-12 reps). They imply that weight should be increased, rather than increasing the number of sets, with muscle fatigue being a a good measurement of effectiveness.

    Adults should also do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity and that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week

    (from pg. 56)

    muscle-strengthening exercises should be performed to the point at which it would be difficult to do another repetition. When resistance training is used to enhance muscle strength, one set of 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise is effective,

    (from pg. 61)

  • NIH recommends 150-300 minutes of moderate activity (or 75-150 minutes of strenuous activity) every week. If I keep my HR in the 130s for 60 minutes, that's ~120 *minutes" due to the intensity. I don't 10k every day, usually only once a week.

    When I did the 5k every day that was too much. But 5 days/week or 3 5ks and 1 10k per week is just about right, as long as I keep up the intensity (if they get too easy, I can increase distance or grade or resistance to maintain HR for the right amount of minutes).

  • I only do 2 days a week lifting, that's the NIH recommendation. Granny wants to do 3, but that doesn't currently fit into the rest of my life.

    I would do cardio every day, but things get in the way of that often, too.
