  • California socialite Rebecca Grossman sentenced to 15 to life for killing 2 kids in crosswalk

    Jump

  • I'm not sure; usually this language is used when someone is convicted, that the sentence they receive from the judge has to fall in that range. I don't know what "sentenced to 15 years to life" means except that the judge intends that she spend at least 15 years in prison.

  • Structure is a double-edged sword

    Jump

  • I've had good results managing it by planning my week very loosely: I write down 1-3 things I plan to do each day (including work, exercise, cleaning, leisure, seeing friends, appointments) and it's just enough structure to keep me moving without being stifling.

  • My favorite thing about this meme is that whenever it gets posted we get to hear these stories. I'm glad it got better for you!

  • New Federal Rules Protect LGBTQ People From Misgendering, Bathroom Bans

    Jump

  • Yeah, before this rule clarification, there was a magic force field protecting all women's bathrooms from rapists. It was literally impossible for women to get raped before we decided to protect the basic human rights and dignity of trans people. I've certainly never been sexually assaulted or harassed by cis men, but now I'll have to live in fear, because of woke.

  • Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal

    Jump

  • The fix is a screw to actually affix the pedal cover to the pedal (instead of just glue). So, yeah, cheap, but probably fixes the problem. (Not the next fatal problem they find though...)

  • Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record

    Jump

  • You didn't read the article. These are images that appeared in the documentary and were not marked as generated. It was implied they were real photos.

  • When you are on a videocall do you also keep looking at your own thumbnail video?

    Jump

  • If they're consistently looking down and to the right (for most apps) and not scanning/reading, they're probably looking at their own video. I've certainly noticed it.

  • When you are on a videocall do you also keep looking at your own thumbnail video?

    Jump

  • Yep. Everybody does. Watch where their eyes are pointing, you can tell. I hide the window on apps that let me (or un-maximize the window and slide it off the screen a bit if I'm on one side).

  • My opinion on Bone conduction earphones

    Jump

  • They work better for podcasts than music. For music, they're better than a phone speaker but worse than cheapo earbuds in terms of sound quality.

  • My opinion on Bone conduction earphones

    Jump

  • I have those exact ones and I love them; I use them for running and when I'm doing stuff around the house but still want to hear people getting my attention. I had a previous version that I also accidentally turned to Chinese but I just learned to recognize the different messages.

  • My brother and his wife would give their kids a "special treat" at bedtime: warm milk with protein powder. Worked great.

  • Obesity has become the most common form of malnutrition in the majority of countries

    Jump

  • Beyond the time/energy cost, you're comparing two different things: cooking healthy food from scratch vs. buying boxed 'unhealthy' food. Buying boxed 'healthy' food is more expensive than buying boxed 'unhealthy' food, and cooking 'unhealthy' food is cheaper than cooking 'healthy' food.

    For example: I could make a huge mess of white rice and oil very cheaply and quickly. Every other ingredient I add will raise the cost and time investment. People say, "oh, just throw in some eggs/grilled chicken breast/fresh veggies and you have a cheap healthy meal!" but it's still a lot more expensive to do that (in both money and time) than to just make rice.
