It was interesting to read that. Of course you can’t start doing that kind of workout right off the bat. You need to work up to it! Also, of course the workout regimine from “One Punch Man” isn’t well balanced, he is training to be able to punch well, not focused on general health.

Are people seriously just jumping into this routine as a means of getting fit?

Ah, “buy” was a typo but it wasn’t meant to be “boy”. I know better than that. It was meant to be “guy”.

Yeah, I’ve worked retail too and I don’t think I would have done this, even if I did have another task to complete.

This cashier’s lane light was on. They smiled at me, came to help, scanned my items, and let me pay. Then, rather than scanning the man’s six items, they put up their closed sign and walked away without saying a word while leaving their lane light on. It felt hostile and rude.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It’s honestly weighing on me that I didn’t say something. I guess the best that I can do is to do better next time something similar happens.

Thank you. You don’t think that speaking up would be more embarrassing for the man that what already happened? I feel terrible that I didn’t act more appropriately in the moment, but I was too shocked to think of a good response to the situation.

I like this. This is the mentality I plan to take with me in case of future situations. I feel terrible that I wasn’t present enough to act appropriately in the moment.

She’s a bad ass for just having the guts to go out there like that. Good for her! I’d be mortified to try that…

Other instances hosted outside of Russia but available from inside Russia can still federated with them, though, right?

Wow, $2 for a pack of cigarettes. I’m glad it’s not that cheap here. It would have made it harder for me to quit!

I don’t really disagree, but I think that was the original intent of the meme; to show Crowder as a complete chode by having him assert really stupid, deeply unpopular ideas.

The meme’s use has become too soft on Crowder lately, though, I think.

I found a source that supports your “almost half” number for microplastics contribution from synthetic clothing.

Source

The source is a little lacking in that they don’t have real numbers for synthetic textile contribution to microplastics, just the overall contribution of textiles to micropolution, but they do talk about the relationships between the two.

I keep hearing random statistics about sources of microplastics and have no idea what to believe at this point. Just yesterday I saw something saying that 78% of microplastics come from tires.

I’m fairly sure that the admins of lemmy.world said that we could expect a big spike in active users after the upgrade to 1.19 due to a change in how active users are calculated. I can’t seem to find the post now, though.

I think it is hard to find sources that firmly support the charge of genocide but I also think it is an argument with having. Most, if not all sources are biased in one way or another and can be discounted if you don’t like their particular bias.

That said, some, like Amnisty International, think that not allowing aid into Gaza is a genocidal act which seems like a reasonable argument when children are dying of starvation and aid is being blocked.

Human Rights Watch has another good article describing ways in which Isreal is complying with the IJC orders to recuce civilian casualties.

the court ordered Israel on January 26, 2024, to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian aid,” and to report back on its compliance to the specific measures “within one month.”

One month later, however, Israel continues to obstruct the provision of basic services and the entry and distribution within Gaza of fuel and lifesaving aid, acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes and include the use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war.

I recognize that these sources are biased but i think you’d be hard pressed to find a source that isn’t biased with respect to this conflict. Lack of coverage of atrocities is, itself, a form of bias.

Personally, I’d say that at least a portion of what is happening in Gaza could be considered to be genocide. It doesn’t appear that Isreal has done much to mitigate civilian deaths and may be actively trying to increase the civilian death toll.

Hah, oops, I thought you meant that you learned this lesson as a non native english speaker! I must have misunderstood.

Out of curiosity, how would you say “this saturday” and “next saturday” in your native language and what would the literal translation be?

That sounds like a reasonable way to handle it. Federated communities within federated instances.

Maybe there should be an option to join the various conversations together if a user wants to see more content. That sounds pretty difficult to manage, though.

Okay, so here’s some more easily interpreted numbers. In addition to having the largest change in traffic share relative to its previous share, Linux actually had the largest change in actual traffic share. It was just BARELY above Mac OS. If more significant digits were allowed here, Linux rose 0.0085 while Mac OS rose 0.0082.

2022 percentages computed as:

share_2022 = share_2023 / ( 1 + relative_percent_change )

and percent change computed as:

absolute_percent_change = share_2023 - share_2022

* The relative percent change for “other” is not reported in the graphic. There is a remainder of 0.005 in the Share Change which is, presumably, attributable to change in the “other” category.

Last year’s results

I just found last year’s results. It looks like my math bears out, though it appears that they rounded differently.

Notably, last year’s changes were very different.

** Linux and Chrome Book’s absolute change was less than 0.0005.

*** As with 2023, the percentage change for “other” is not reported in the graphic. There is a remainder of 0.012 in the Share Change which is, presumably, attributable to change in the “other” category. This seems large, though, given that the total traffic share for “other” is only 0.016. That would imply a change from 0.001 to 0.012. Looking at the 2021 numbers this doesn’t appear to be correct.
