We spend more on health care per person and have worse outcomes than any country in the global north.
That has a lot to do with privatizing all our medical facilities and wasting a ton of money through private insurance.

132·15 days agoOne is a sci-fi and one is fantasy in space. Totally different genres.
In the early 2000s my hp printer had a paper jam and the error message from cups was “printer on fire!”
I burned some mix cds for a 90s themed birthday party a few months ago. Those CDRs had been sitting in a spindle in my attic for 20 years and still worked!

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•TIL that in 1996 they made a USS-Defiant CD playerEnglish
7·26 days agoAgreed. I much prefer listening to full albums. Even stuff I bought a long time ago as a teenager for one song, I’ve enjoyed going back and listening to the complete album.

4·26 days agoI burned a cd for niece a few months back. She was in awe. Surprisingly that spindle of CDRs that have been sitting in my attic for 20 something years still record just fine!
I also have ripped all my CDs as flacs and stream them with navidrome. Convenience is nice and beats syncing to an mp3 player.
I also have a raspberry pi hooked up to my stereo with an nfid reader and print out cards with album art. Just select the one you want, drop it on the reader, and the album plays.

Movies@lemmy.world•What's you favourite movie with big plot-holes?English
4·4 months agoThat’s because it’s dystopian fantasy not dystopian sci-fi

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?
39·4 months agoGo to your local library. Many have a great selection on blu-ray and dvds. Having to select something from a shelf is way more enjoyable than the endless scroll of junk streaming services give you. I am now actually purposefully selecting movies and shows to watch and making time and effort to finish them instead of just streaming random stuff.
Plus you get commentaries and bonus features.
Is this from the catwings children’s book?

World News@lemmy.world•China imports no US soybeans in September for first time in seven yearsEnglish
7·6 months agoYou can’t do corn every year. Corn farmers need to rotate and the primary crop is soy since it replenishes the nutrients corn needs and it is easy and you can sell it (or could)

linuxmemes@lemmy.world•My hot take on the official pronunciation of GNOME
2·6 months agoIn early versions of Linux when manually setting up your sound card, Redhat came with a test audio clip of Linus Torvolds saying “I province Linux as Linux”. Even though it is named after him he did not pronounce it like his name: Ly-nix.

71·6 months agoWhat is wrong with soy? It is great at restoring nutrients in soil. It is full of protein. It is a great meat alternative…

World News@lemmy.world•China imports no US soybeans in September for first time in seven yearsEnglish
14·6 months agoYou can’t grow corn every year. It depletes the soil of nutrients. We grow soy because 1) it restores soil nutrients 2) it is very easy to plant and harvest 3) it can grow almost anywhere in the US 4) we had a buyer which was china using it as animal feed.
I don’t know that there is another good cash crop we can use for crop rotation.

World News@lemmy.world•China imports no US soybeans in September for first time in seven yearsEnglish
9·6 months agoI doubt it. We plant soy beans as part of crop rotation, but don’t actually consume them. We sold them primarily to china to use as feed for animals since china primarily uses its soy beans to feed its population. Due to the trade war, china is purchasing soy from other countries. This means every other year, farmers will not have income unless either the US consumes a lot more soybeans or all the farmers agree to use a different crop rotation that has value. But soy beans are easy to plant, do a great job enriching soil, and can grow in most climates in the us.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessionsEnglish
5·6 months agoMy non technical spouse prefers profile to separate work and personal. She uses different themes for each profile so it is very obvious which is which.
Also one of the extensions she likes interferes with a work site she is required to use. She has that extension installed in the personal profile but not work profile.






I feel like you should have to be able to spell college before you can be admitted…
