his government wouldn’t allow the U.S. to use jointly operated bases in southern Spain in any strikes not covered by the U.N. charter.

This is very specific language. Are they allowed to use non-jointly-operated bases? Are the strikes potentially covered by the UN Charter?

Hard to tell when we’re playing word games and not, these days.

I bounced off when he described “the one piece nobody had thought of” for the third time without actually saying which piece. Fucking keep-watching-bait bullshit

Never really been without water, but I’ve avoided eating for ~3 days due to illness a couple times. It’s kinda easy when there’s a reason for it (nausea, mostly) - when you know the alternative is worse, short-term hunger is only mildly annoying.

The republicans are doing literally everything in their power to protect pedophiles and child sex traffickers. If raping and murdering 12-year old girls isn’t too much for them, what makes you believe that republican-led states would agree to anything other than increasing their own power or wealth?

It’s not, but the people who are asking are often not tech-savvy, and any amount of self-hosting will be hard for them

So tired of hearing this dumb fuck argument. Ordering food =/= fastfood. The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

Oh, honey. That “healthy” restaurant you order from isn’t actually healthy. They are poisoning you with fat, salt, and sugar, and that’s what you think food is supposed to taste like. All you’re eating is dopamine, nothing actually good for your body.

When I make baked potatoes at home I usually use 2 of the biggest potatoes I can find. Per person that is. Then I use Quark with 40% fat, mix in some cream, at least a teaspoon of salt, green onion and some frozen herbs.

I will always remember a conversation I had with a chef friend… he said something along the lines of “Of course restaurant food tastes better… take the butter you’d add, then double it. Then double it. Then double it again. Then add some heavy cream.”

You are vastly underestimating how unhealthy restaurant food is for you - even the “healthy” places are ridiculous.

Usually connectivity reasons. If an app is asleep, it can’t receive or send notifications, so there would be absolutely no “background” tasks or receiving messages, etc.

Some of that is for data theft reasons, like someone else stated, but definitely not all.

My immediate guess is that the measurement is off (measuring pot temp instead of water temp, perhaps) or you’re at a really low elevation/there’s weirdly high air pressure? The former is far more likely than the latter, usually people only experience water boiling sooner than expected due to high elevation. It should absolutely be simmering at 203

…you think influencers aren’t on lemmy? 🤦‍♂️

You must be an influencer. I promise that most people don’t want to be in your videos and hate when you come around with your phone out

And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it.

I don’t think this is true at all, most people absolutely feel the same.

Shit, if I had known that I might have actually done it this year

Definitely get your money back, and report to the FTC! This is clearly fraud and should be punished harshly! Maybe we can publicly hang him

I’m a traditional sort of guy: weed and alcohol.

They warn you and still give you the option to buy it if it’s not a deal breaker. Let’s stop making everything more authoritarian, yeah?

Everybody knows this

Everybody “knows” some bullshit that isn’t actually based in reality. Pieces of shit spread it so players like Disney seem less unhinged, but is absolutely not required. Renewing your trademark is the only requirement.

People can safely use Windows 10 online for the next decade as long as they follow basic online safety.

This is a fucking braindead take. A few months, a year, maaaybe? But a decade? No chance in hell.

The simple answer is that the gospel wasn’t working as well as it had been, so they had to change it up to continue attracting people. Cults are basically popularity contests, and you can’t win if you’re scaring everyone away.

I am sure there are some people who just kind of don’t give a fuck about computers who that will be accurate for, but I feel like it’s a much smaller minority than Microsoft seems to think that it is.

You’re definitely overestimating the size of your own bubble. The vast, vast, vast majority of people won’t even notice, forget caring or actually doing anything about it.
