Messed with my chair a fair bit. In terms of getting value for money, building one would probably not be so great. The parts add up quickly, so you usually won’t end up paying less to build than to buy. Best bet is to look for a thrift shop find and maybe upgrade/repair over time.
The most annoying part is how often you go to look for a chair you liked and find out they don’t make it anymore.
It’s hard to get a good number there. Most nutritional measures are by volume or mass, rather than grain count, and the number of grains in a cup or kilo is variable based on type, (un)processed, etc. One site I found says 7k~10k per cup, which would be ~37k/kg. Nutritional calculations are complicated by the conversion from uncooked to cooked because rice usually expands as you cook it, so 1 cup uncooked is fewer grains than uncooked, but nutritional data is usually for cooked foods. Looks like maybe cooking expands the rice by about 3x. Then there are questions regarding what the necessary amount would be. A cup of cooked is ~200 calories. A standard estimate for number of calories needed, ignoring nutrition, is ~2k. Rough guess?
10c cooked rice = 3.33c uncooked = 23k~33k grains
He’s cute but that chonker looks mostly only ready to hunt the kibble in his bowl.
The Nazis will give him shit. No one else.
Marketers chose the “thwack” slogan after consulting an AI tool for suggestions, Shinsegae Group said. It turned out some managers who approved the campaign never opened the email attachments showing the marketing material.
Yet again, we see that marketers being harmful lying parasites and managers being overpaid slackers.
I’ve written some scripts on my phone with a software keyboard. Some CSS tweaking as well. I wouldn’t want to do anything complex, though.
Do not share advertising. Mocking is sharing, not stopping. The only attention we need tp pay to advertising is blocking its presentation and banning its production.
Being Superman in particular. There are plenty of ‘superheroes’ who are far less scrupulous.
Technically possible, but the probability that everything on earth except humans won the coinflip would be infinitesimal.
You know the only visible difference between someone who truly enjoys their solitude and someone who is lonely but making the best of it? You see the lonely one.
The contemplative is too busy with their efforts to talk to others most of the time, and when they do talk to others it’s about the work, not the solitude. The solitude is unremarkable, a side effect of the work.
At least Andrew of the royal family of the UK has been stripped of title. Still wealthy and not in prison last I heard though.
Oh, my god. That woman engulfed a baby like a python and then Thanos saved it.
That’s another part I don’t remember seeing. Why didn’t half the trees ash away in the forest? What about things where there’s no good line between where ‘one’ ends and ‘another’ begins like fungal mycelium? Since all humans are composed of living cells, shouldn’t half of the cells die?
It’s a success…
a portal to an endless tunaverse…
such beauty…
How could we have known…?
No. If something is to be upwardly fucked, let it be something that makes the landlord’s life better, not parts of your own home. Busting up your own place makes your life worse short term because now your place is crappier, and makes life worse for the next tenant because the landlord isn’t going to just eat the loss. They’ll either take you to court for it or just charge the next person enough to cover it plus a percentage for themselves, increasing their eventual parasitic load.
Appa from Kim’s Convenience saying ‘No, you!’ to everything.
‘You’re deflecting.’
‘No! You are deflecting!’
Think paintball guns that shoot the absorbent gel balls used to fill vases for cut flowers.
I might have a weird view of things but I don’t want to get rid of royalty, just take away any authority they have over the lives of themselves and others. They already live off others’ work. Let’s keep them as national pets.
‘Who’s a good king? Who looks nice and waves for the people?’
‘Is it me, <racial slur>?’
‘No! No talking! Bad! Smack you on the nose with a rolled up replica magna carta.’
America does give military training to white supremacists and gang members. They then usually attack Americans, though. Some reports hold, in fact, they put one such individual in charge of the Department of War.
