Lots of mozzarella, and soft Mexican cheeses and things popular in the US like pepper jack. I’m sticking with hard and well-aged cheeses now. Cheese wasn’t the only part of my diet that put me in the hospital. I started by cutting everything that could possibly be a problem. I’ve been testing putting some things back in. Fortunately I can still eat hot pepper sauces as long as I don’t go crazy. I love me some spicy food!

I used to eat massive amounts of cheese daily, way above average even though I’m lactose intolerant. It literally put me in the hospital. For years I had said i could give up meat but I could never give up cheese. Something died in my soul when I made the decision to give up cheeses with lactose. But I still eat my share of Gouda :)

Many other countries use them too, although the US does use a lot. It does concern me that China might be wanting to use this to accelerate war, seize Taiwan etc before there are alternate sources available.

Didn’t China halt all exports of rare earth minerals to the whole world?

The minerals aren’t actually rare, they’re just in low concentrations and difficult to extract. It’s just a matter of time before thet set up mining and precessing somewhere else. It won’t be in the US though. It’ll be somewhere with super cheap labor and no regulations or environmental protections. Which is why it was in China in the first place.

The majority of people in the US don’t have access to busing.

Additionally, Lemmy would be a hostile place if you happened to be a conservative-leaning Linux user. I know quite a few, but they aren’t on Reddit either.

It would be cool if it was an option everywhere. I’ve cycle commuted. Hell I commuted on a skateboard for two years. But it is not an option where I live now. We can’t let mandates get ahead of real world options. Let’s make it an option everywhere. The next Dem president will champion this, right?

Right?

Edit just realized this was posted to the europe community. I’ve lived there a couple of years. You’re light years ahead of anywhere else in the world on this stuff. Good job! But don’t forget the rest of the world needs at minimum a few decades of massive infrastructure investment to come anywhere near what you already have. If we punish people for not riding bikes where riding a bike is impossible, we only lose support.

Do you have a source for that? The Wikipedia page about it doesn’t mention it and mentions other sources, which I guess could be tied to the heritage foundation but even clicking through links I couldn’t find any connection.

I’m not saying there isn’t plenty to criticize about the concept and where they place particular individuals. That’s just the first time I’ve heard this claim, and I’m curious about it.

On the political compass subreddit they called them watermelons - green on the outside (libertarian left), red on the inside (authoritarian left). I realize they’re not really left at all, but the authoritarianism is baked in.

Yeah that makes sense, I doubt they’re designed to handle the weight of a grown man, even a fit one.

That’s what I was going to say. Kids shoes are cheaper.

I’m 5’10" with a size 14 shoe, and it’s frustrating because they stop making half sizes above 12 which means it’s often difficult to find a good fitting shoe. I also have a 6’5" wingspan so shirts always either have too short of sleeves, or they are way too long on the torso.

Yeah they’re 20, 17 and 15. It could still be a few more years but we’re making changes to keep the living room more free. It’s also been extra challenging because for the last six months my job has been going through big changes and I haven’t had an office at work either, which is why I’ve been working at home more. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve worked standing in my kitchen, sitting at a conference table alone at work, or working from my car or a cafe or something. It’s actually been really cool, but sometimes really challenging.

I don’t have a basement or an attic. My oldest sleeps in part of what once was a one car garage garage. It now is a laundry room and a small bedroom. There are many nights when the only place we don’t have someone sleeping is the kitchen, the laundry room and the two bathrooms. I really could use an office space tho. I’ve been working from home more in 2025 than any other year and my PC is in the living room but there are often teenagers sleeping in there and I like to start working around 5am because my wife gets up for work at 4. I’m just waiting it out at this point, one of these kids will move out someday. Right?

Right?

We don’t fit in our house I don’t need all three to leave, but I need one of them to. I don’t have an office/personal space.

Yeah, I get paid 1/10th of that and I could do a lot better - and I used to - but I work for a nonprofit I care about. Greed is a hell of a drug.

In this thread, most of both the French and the vegans are insufferable. I like a nice strong black coffee and I don’t eat a lot of meat, but there’s a reason I don’t really want to go back to Paris or to half of the vegan restaurants I try.

The author should have quit long ago. Many employees are complicit.

As someone who has done a bunch of phone repairs with the help of YouTube, assembly isn’t that hard. If they don’t want to assemble them here, it’s completely about profit margins. We should be taking steps to reduce that profit margin. Tax the rich and all that.

There’s no possible way this could go badly.

If I’m in an Airbnb I pour it in the lawn.
