I’m a decade younger, but until about 5 years ago we could get a dozen large eggs for $0.99 (caged). Probably highly dependent upon the area (urban/rural, quality of surrounding land, overall cost of living in relation to wages, etc.).

They are currently over $6/doz here. I’m not sure by how much as I haven’t bought since they were $2/doz., which has been years now.

Those metal sided buildings aren’t super uncommon around here, so it really didn’t occur to me other people would find it particularly weird.

But then apparently well water and septic is also weird to some people, and that’s basically every country property here :p

That’s because turkeys take out the car with them. Whole shebang goes to the morgue.

Ok maybe not the morgue, but they do tend to get nicely lodged in whatever part of the car they get struck by. This is generally the front grill, as they are about 5-year-old size and tend to travel on foot, but they are flying bowling balls and can lodge into windshields pretty well too.

I’ve heard of a number of people hitting them (rural area) and the turkey soup always goes with the car.

My favorite is when the ringing from power resonates with the tinnitus and ends up with an oscillating tone. Drives me absolutely insane.

I mean honestly the fact that it isn’t blows my mind..

You would think these companies (railroad and those using them for shipping) would have a legitimate and strong interest in knowing exactly where literally everything is at all times.

No. It was a job that could have stayed fully remote but was instead hybrid. And it was a big waste of time job. I could have had another job at the same time.

Does that include all the animated stuff, do you know?

I haven’t used kagi, but I believe you can do exactly that with it. You do have to pay for the service, but that’s probably a good thing.

This is a link to the features page. It allows you to permanently ban or boost results from specific domains. But you may need to do some manual effort to make that happen, I don’t really know if there are community-curated backbones or anything for that.

But you can also see if the result is popular, and they seem to work pretty hard to make their platform worth the spend. Everything I’ve heard from people who use it is good.

I asked for a D in algebra so I could repeat it (I’d have gotten a C+, but you can’t repeat courses if you get a c or better at that school) because I’m bad at math and needed to take some more advanced math for some of my science/stats courses.

Hurt my overall gpa for that semester, but the B+ I ended up with replaced the D entirely so it was fine.

You know, this made me realize I have literally never, in my 30(mumbles vaguely) years seen one of those salon chairs with the hair dryer..

Is it because curls went out of fashion (they were huge for a long time, but less so now), because we have permanent ways to do it, or because we have curling irons now?

I’m guessing curling irons, but I’m way too lazy to look into it.

My favorite weight loss exercise is existing but being very cold. Not even joking. That’s the whole thing.

If you want to balance calories with low effort, expose yourself to whatever temperature you shiver at (cold water is great for this because you lose heat 25x faster when wet). You burn an absolute ton of calories for heat, and recruit beige fat cells to function as brown fat cells which exist only to burn through fat to maintain homeostasis. The more you shiver, the more effective you are at ambient calorie burn when you don’t shiver.

Cardio is wonderful for upping your overall metabolism, as is building any muscle. They also both work to strengthen your overall system. Do those things. They are good for you.

But for pure calorie balancing and deficits, cold wins hands down as far as effort involved. Because it’s just sitting there being uncomfortable, and that’s easy, some of us are that way always :)

Personally I’d love to help with community gardening initiatives… sort of.

I’m presently working on an indoor root crop system for urban dwellers, just as a hobby. I don’t actually want to profit off it, I want to develop it to help fix the world, but with the present system, I feel the absolute need to monetize it in some way, which is anathema to how I want to exist and it being low cost and accessible for low income households.

Capitalism hinders progress. It’s really sad and demoralizing.

I’m going to release it for free anyway when it’s done - when it’s a reproducible system and not just an interdependent idea - but it’s never going to benefit me, and that sucks because I’m poor lol
