When I worked at a grocery store, we had very cheap paper towels to absorb messes, and had to use a ton of them to actually clean up a mess. This is the part I never understood, you cheap out on the paper, now I have to use way more. Likely a multiple higher than how much cheaper it is. It’s only cheaper to buy, it’s very shortsighted.

Eventually they wised up and got us real, good paper towels. We used way, way less, and interestingly we only had good paper towels from that point forward.

Edit: Can’t forget to mention the extra labor costs with more time spent cleaning up a mess!

One of these days there’ll be an interview where Margot Robbie talks about her constant use of Lemmy

Late reply, respiration occurs in cells when they burn ATP energy, consuming Oxygen and producing Carbon Dioxide. Photosynthesis creates ATP rather than burn it. Plants will respirate and burn that ATP after it is created, but photosynthesis itself is not respiration. Hope you find this interesting!

Fairly minor correction, but photosynthesis is essentially the opposite of cellular respiration. Plants do respirate and release CO2, but their photosynthesis more than offsets their respiration.

Oh great, we get to have this whole song and dance again in January. Fun.

I know this is the FED’s goal in the US with interest hikes (as well as lowering consumer spending, which remains quite high), are similar policies/goals being implemented in the UK as well? Not as familiar with their economy, or government control on their economy.

Even better if it doesn’t change it till you hit send

Anecdotal, but I’ve never had a teacher tell me why Wikipedia wasn’t a good source. Similarly, I’ve never had a teacher educate students on how to properly use resources like Wikipedia as a starting point for sources. All my peers and I heard was “Wikipedia is bad, never use it, it’s not reliable, don’t trust anything from it.”

I wish I had been taught why and how earlier, but I had to learn why and how myself.

This has been happening to me on a Pixel 6 and it’s annoying as hell. Their assistant has devolved

Firefox can’t load plugins on iPhones anyway. If you’re on Android, and it’s a personal device, ReVanced is a better experience.

Ah, I understand now. Apologies

Okay, that’s actually awesome.

I don’t think it’s fair of your landlady to give you grief about your bikes. You pay the rent, you get to keep your possessions there. If you have 3 bikes I don’t see why it’s her business, unless it’s a shared rent space or something.

For sure, I got one from a family member, the solar panel only put out 15W with no load drawn. The battery was pinched in the casing as well. I was surprised to see it did have proper voltage protection, though.

Yeah, it’s really not. Maybe you can just have the brand instead

It’s okay, you can have them. As long as we still get to share the songs

Yeah, bananas help solidify it. They are also mildly antacid. I’ll take that over fighting for my life after enjoying a tasty hot sauce!

Thank you, I will!

Oh those are my favorite. “We gave a mouse 3x it’s body weight in this substance and it got cancer. This must be carcinogenic!”

Bananas are great too
