  • Weekend

    Jump

  • I find it "funny" that most of the world celebrates labor/workers day on May 1st to commemorate the Chicago protest to fight for 8-hour shifts and workers rights but in the US they don't even talk about it.

    Labor Day in the US was chosen kinda arbitrarily to fall between independence Day and Thanksgiving Day

  • I recently found this (it can be replicated with many values):

  • Which healthcare would you choose?

    Jump

  • Last year my family doctor quit from the hospital to open her own practice but unfortunately she's not in network with my insurance

    I called the hospital to get an appointment (for a regular check up) with another doctor and none of their doctors 15 miles from me (2 big clinics and 2 small clinics) had any free appointments from May to December. The closest one was about 50 miles away with and the appointment and the waiting was 4 months

  • Your cat looks so much like mine, (extra) trimmed ear, white spot in the chest, white bikini, another spot in the middle, white back toes

  • "Microslop" trends on social media — backlash to Microsoft's on-going AI obsession continues

    Jump

  • At least you know the hardware will work and you can install your own distro (I know regular people won't know how to do this)

    I was looking for a convertible laptop during the holidays and I looked for compatibility and all of them had drivers missing, like the SD card, touchscreen, orientation sensor for tablet mode, bezel sensor for tablet mode. I ended up keeping my old laptop with mint and getting an android tablet that "just works"

  • US attack on Venezuela raises fears of future Greenland takeover

    Jump

  • I disagree. Even if the leaders condemn the invasion of Venezuela all of them were against Maduro, specially since the 2018 "election", their response is mild because they are kinda happy someone did the dirty work. Also the country is not connected to the global economy. Greenland is part of Denmark (EU), Mexico has a lot of foreign investment and Canada is friends with everyone, the response won't be the same

  • PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru

    Jump

  • nobody bought the ps5?

    Key Figures & Estimates (Late 2025/Early 2026)

    PlayStation 5 (PS5): ~84-86 million units (crossing 80M mark by late 2025).

    Xbox Series X/S: ~34 million units (estimates vary, but well behind PS5).

    Nintendo Switch (Original): ~154 million units (still selling well, nearing DS).

    Nintendo Switch 2 (New): Starting sales with ~12.4 million units by late 2025 (estimated).

    84 mil seems like a lot. PS games have always been discounted, contrary to Nintendo games

  • Americans embrace Aldi as German discounter becomes fastest-growing supermarket in US

    Jump

  • I have one Aldi I usually go and another 2 relatively close and one never had any issues with the meat or produce. The only thing is that there is a super market that gets very fresh produce so I prefer to get it from there, but there's nothing wrong with Aldi, and the quality seems to be the same as three Walmart or the Kroger that are any a mile away

    I agree with the limited inventory, it's rare to complete a grocery trip at an Aldi, I have to go to another super market after but the low prices and experience makes it good enough to make it my primary market

  • New Years Eve

    Jump

  • But that non zero is extremely close to zero. But it's making more fun about the fact that January 1st is very arbitrary cosmically. Even the solstice would make more sense

  • xkcd #3187: High Altitude Cooking Instructions

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if it's still the case but most of the population in Mexico is above 3000 feet so recipes had variations for sea level instead (the recipe was made for 1000msnm)

    Sometimes it was confusing if you got something imported from the US or some brand that needed to be adjusted for high altitude

  • Removed

    Greece, Italy and France ignore ICC warrant as Netanyahu flies through airspace for Trump talks

    Jump

  • Don't they need to request permission to enter the airspace before take off? They should at least deny the request and make them take a longer route

  • Garmin autopilot lands small plane without pilot's help

    Jump

  • pilots had "made the decision to leave the system engaged," and "automatically engaged exactly as designed when the cabin altitude exceeded the prescribed safe levels."

  • Where does the drive to do anything come from?

  • My father is a workaholic, even after retiring he found a couple of jigs to keep him busy almost full time. I tried to get him into videogames after retiring (he used to play a lot of SNES and Sega Genesis back n the day) and he didn't find any joy in it

    I hate working, I do it as a means to get money for traveling and for my hobbies and I spend a lot of time playing videogames

    So I guess my father gets his dopamine directly from working and I work to get money to fund stuff that give me dopamine

  • Flip flop

    Jump

  • 20 years ago it was way easier to install Linux from a boot disk (like ubuntu or suse) than windows from scratch. Sometimes XP didn't have the necessary drives and you'd need to find bootable drivers and load them from a floppy disk

    It was even easier to install OSx86 on my laptop than windows vista from scratch in 2007

    Maybe this is one of those thinking that 20 years ago was the 90s

  • Why does everyone put celery in soup stock?

    Jump

  • I feel the same as you, my wife loves celery and puts it on everything but I feel like it subtracts flavors on most stuff. She eats raw celery all the time, I can maybe stand it with a lot of ranch next to some buffalo wings
