Are there already studies on the long-term effect on people's weight? I lost (and gained) weight quite often in my life and I would say without changing habits and the structure of your life, it's impossible to achieve a permanent effect.

If weight loss is iduced with medication only, I would expect the effect to stop as soon as you stop taking the substance.

Or is such a prescription typically coupled with sport programs and health counseling?

Vielleicht haben gewisse Konzerne Bedarf angemeldet, nachdem sie sich auf öffentlichen Druck aus der Uiguren-Region zurückziehen mussten. So sind auch die Transportwege viel kürzer...

Aber mal ernsthaft: Wie kommen intelligente Menschen, die Politiker ja vermeintlich sein sollten, auf die Idee, das sei eine gute Idee? Erinnert mich stark an die Diskussionen rund um die Behindertenwerkstätten vor einigen Jahren, die alles daran gesetzt haben, ihren Mitarbeitern den Weg zum klassischen Arbeitsmarkt zu verwehren, um sie selbst weiter für Hungerlöhne ausbeuten zu können. Gab da mal eine sehr interessante Folge von der Anstalt zu. Hat man aber leider auch nie wieder etwas gehört. Sind meines Wissens nach immer noch vom Mindestlohn ausgenommen.

The police promised him employment in exchange to climb down the bridge? Does the police have any say in hiring people for the police or even other companies?

Although I appeciate their efforts to save that soul but if such promises make it to the news, wouldn't that rather lead to 'fake' suicide attempts of people trying to negotiate better living conditions?

Just to be sure: Of course I appeciate if the state helps people out of unemployment etc. but that's typically not a task for the police and it definitely shouldn't require climbing on bridges.

Wenn ich eine Puppe anschaue, muss ich für gewöhnlich nicht lachen. Danke für die aufrichtige Warnung vor langweiligem Sendematerial, ProSieben.

And the middle one hugs the one in the back <3

When I checked online printing services the last time, they were really expensive. For my very first project (4 custom card organizers) it would have cost me more than a hundred bucks. My printer + the initial accessoires were around than 200 bucks and I've printed so many functional parts since then that it easily amortized itself within the first year.

I own an Ender 3 V2 that I use around 10 times a year. It is one of the less sophisticated printers and still it does not require that much maintenance. You have to remove the dust, level the bed and sometimes clean or exchange the nozzle. More sophisticated printers can also do some stuff automatically (e.g. the bed leveling part).

However, the initial assembly and fine tuning took some time (approx. 1-2 hours), so I wouldn't recommend to dis- and reassemble it all the time. If you don't have that much space, maybe check for a small printer.

When I did my research 2 years ago the Prusa Mini was quite popular for small printer. But if you want to print big parts a lot, it might be a bit annoying as you always have to cut them into smaller chunks, print separate and finally glue them together.

I also don't understand the comparison to piracy but I think being a vegetarian is definitely more ethical than being an omnivore as long as you don't overcompensate meat with other animal products. If you stop eating chicken and in exchange start to eat an additional 3 eggs a day, that's probably worse for animals and nature.

If you just cut back on meat and replace it with vegan alternatives while eating the same amount of cheese, eggs etc. as before it DOES have a positive impact and we should appeciate one's efforts.

Hell, even flexitarians have a positive impact. Right now, there's around 90% omnivores worldwide. If all these omnivores reduced their consumption of animal products by let's say 20%, it would have a far bigger impact than another 2% going full blown vegan.

Furthermore, it can be tough to go vegan all of a sudden. It takes time to change your diet, learn about healthy protein sources, essential nutrients and stuff. Going flexitarian first, then vegetarian and potentially vegan allows you to take one step at a time.

Also being vegan is not where it ends in terms of caring for the environment. You can keep reducing your personal footprint indefinitely. No more flights, no car, less electricity, less shopping. Everything helps. And everyone should try to contribute in the way that feels the most manageable for your personal circumstances.

Ja, ist ja richtig. In der Theorieprüfung waren aber schon zu meiner Zeit einige ziemlich knifflige Fragen dabei, die sich für mich nicht immer logisch herleiten und beantworten ließen. Und welche Antworten dann bei "welche Ursachen blauer Rauch aus dem Auspuff haben kann?" richtig sind, hab ich dann eben auswendig gelernt. In der Praxis würde ich - egal welche Farbe der Rauch hat - rechts ranfahren und jemanden rufen, der sich damit auskennt. Das war aber keine der Antworten. Vorfahrtsregeln waren vielleicht ein doofes Beispiel oben aber auch hier gibt es Grenzfälle, die in der Theorie vielleicht stimmen mögen, in der Praxis würde ich bei einer sehr unübersichtlichen Situation mit zig Beteiligten einfach anhalten und Vorfahrt gewähren.

Nur ein Bruchteil der Autofahrer in Deutschland musste die neuen, vermeintlich schwierigeren Tests bestehen. Deshalb finde ich es unangemessen, die heutigen Prüflinge als dümmer zu verunglimpfen, nur weil die Durchfallquote höher ist.

Mein Vater dürfte mit seinem Führerschein von anno Tobak noch 40 Tonner fahren und der hatte 6 Fahrstunden damals. Die Messlatte liegt heute einfach viel höher als früher. Das ist gut so, dann ist es aber auch nicht verwunderlich, dass mehr Leute durchfallen oder zu betrügen versuchen.

Thank you so much for sharing the results. Very interesting to see the outcome after participating in the survey.

Out of interest: do you know how many participants came from Lemmy compared to other platforms?

He spend so much time trying to help you out of your addiction and you're just disregarding all his efforts as not helpful.

You could also argue that cardboard isn't the right material to build shelves and tables from. Yet Ikea makes them and - at least in my experience - they're pretty stable and good-looking. So why not make a cabin from firewood? :-P
