There's foods that trigger GERD for me, and I used to roll around the floor every night in agony, not knowing quite what was going on, as it was my norm.
To fix late night issues, I just have to eat before 6pm.

Chew properly. Soups kill me. And anything tomato sauced based is out.

Also weirdly oatmeal can trigger issues for me. But I can get away with it in the morning. I think it's also a chewing issue.

A huge amount of digestion happens in the mouth. So now I get my partner to pre-chew most of my foods for me.

The implication (that this many people are murdered specifically for environmental activism) sounds prima facie unrealistic. How many people are included in their definition of "environmental activist", and what is the risk-adjusted base rate for murders in that population? It sounds like they're including a lot of people from very high-risk populations. The fact that 88% of killings are apparently in Latin America (especially Colombia) is suggestive - this has to be picking up a significant amount of cartel conflict and trying to pass it off as environmentalism-related.

Yes, but no! Technically, horcruxes were backups, but the emotional weight of the concept came from splitting your soul, lessening your essence as you hedge against danger.
Partial backups follow the spirit of the idea better.
As an aside, I read the concept as an attack on promiscuity. "Whore crux". Contrast to Lord of the Rings' assault on marriage, where wearing the ring makes you invisible and slowly fade into nothingness, "like butter being scraped over too much bread".

Outside of the enterprise there is no reason to recommend Java to anyone starting a project in 2023. I’m sorry. You can use it at work, with your gradle and maven builds, and your nexus/Artifactory repos of interfaces and impls. I don’t care that you cut your hair to try to be cool. That you dyed your grays to say “Hey me too”. You’re old. You’re not a fun experience. You focus on switch matching for 10 years and still force us to use Lombok. You introduce virtual threads but you still have threadpools and os threads. You are the current C++. No one wants to learn you, they are forced to. No one wants to program with you, they must to get paid. No one really enjoys debugging your call stacks and having to jmx into the vm host to determine if your catheter is leaking.

all reference types are nullable and all value types are non-nullable. positional arguments don't exist so even the new-fangled record classes are constructed using some possibly huge number of positional constructor args.

the first one does, the second, enh. You should be using Kotlin probably, which is way smarter about it, but in practice escape analysis in the JVM is literal loving space magic and your perf issues are unlikely to come from boxed ints.

This may sound like a dumb question but can anyone explain to me why our senses are not all just considered touch? Molecules touch your tongue and you taste things. Molecules touch your nose and you smell things. Air vibrates your inner ear hairs and you hear things. Photons hit your eyes and you see things (not sure if this counts but it seems like it could).

So has the internet completely done away with innocent until proven guilty?

The primary benefit of things like MeToo was supposed to be people being able to take action against individuals who otherwise would have been expected to squash things due to undue influence on law enforcement, the media, and politics - like Harvey Weinstein.

But in cases like this, it seems quite dystopic that a D-list celeb, likely with little to no major influence, is suddenly getting completely cancelled across an entire swath of avenues and platforms, based solely on accusations.

It’s not even an allegation, it’s a news story. It’s pretty crazy that they would do this because of a story, not even criminal charges being brought. Apparently you don’t even have to get formally accused anymore. People say “it’s bad for advertising” but these acts of extreme abuse of moderation on YouTube have hugely contributed to other websites springing up. I have no doubt their market share overall is slipping despite their revenue growing, it will only be a matter of time before advertisers realize they can get more eyes more cheaply elsewhere. We’re long beyond the days where people believe a random advertisement on the same page as some random guy they don’t like matters. Somehow companies are stuck in the idea of the days of television where you sponsored a specific show. Now everyone knows if your advertising on google it doesn’t mean the advertisement agrees with every action of every person who appears in a search result.

The less money that creators get from YouTube, the better. Content becomes a swamp when content gets monetized for the creator. The internet was so much better before everything was monetized. The platform should always be pocketing all the money.

So what is the SA approved correct answer to this question? There are a lot of delivery drivers using cars. And when delivering you only have to step outside for a moment usually? The drivers are still waiting for deliveries during that time.

post hole digger
Mar 21, 2011

the correct approved answer is that using food delivery services is a moral failing and a sign of spiritual weakness. and also the food will be bad when it shows up anyways.

kliras
Mar 27, 2021
on top of all delivery services being objectively evil, a lot of them add a complimentary evil to the mix by making it impossible to order directly from your favourite places to give everyone as big a slice of the pie as possible. places like grubhub will literally impersonate them in seo to proxy all calls through their services so they can charge everyone involved more money

if you think you actually care about a place you order food from, just ... order your food from them, instead of through some dumb middleperson

takeout at least used to imply that one of the employees had to do a delivery run back in my day

i would like a service where i order through a generic app and then its me who has to show up at the place at the given time to show the code and pick up my food

instead the takeout story is that i walk to a place, explain what i want and pay for it and wait for it and then walk back to my place. the process takes more time and is more work for the restaurant worker too.

i still personally go and pick up my stuff because gently caress uber et al
