Try overnight oats using jumbo oats

Leave 50g jumbo oats and 100ml soy milk and some cinnamon mixed in a closed container overnight in your fridge. Then in the morning add a splash of additional soy milk, other stuff*, and some honey.

The other stuff I use (all at the same time):

• pear/strawberries (depending on season)
• walnuts
• milled flaxseed
• Brazil nuts
• omega 3 seed mix (cheap and healthy)
• dried cranberry (or raisins)
• macadamia nuts

You can also use a nut mix (without peanuts). I just don’t because I don’t tolerate hazelnut well.

This breakfast is super useful because it includes so many nuts, which are recommended but quite tricky to include in one’s diet. And it adds a ton of fiber and a piece of fruit.

No, that’s a welfare state

Autumn’s beautiful though. It’s just that shorter days and the reason can make it a bit depressing.

I feel the same way. She is also way too well known for any expert to be fooled into thinking it’s going to be a serious interview

Sorry maybe I sounded a bit harsh. I think we’re on line here, but to be sure. I mean that the average voting age in 2006 could be an interesting detail when doing an analysis of the origins the current situation. So would other themes that played a role in the campaign before the election. I remember reading about this that the corruption of the alternative parties was an issue for voters too.

But when it comes to justifying huge numbers of civilian casualties, it’s a pretty well established principle that civilians can never directly be held accountable with violence for the actions of their government. So that means that we don’t need to engage with arguments about whether voters knew what they were getting into or any specifics about the election. Because doing so would be giving in to your opponent (in a hypothetical debate) and you’d be undermining your own position.

Maybe my points have the same problem. But since people who support the bombings don’t seem to care about international law, I felt like these were a good second line of defence.

I wrote this on Reddit to argue against someone who suggested that Israel’s response is justified, given that Hamas won an election. Here’s what I responded:

There are several significant issues with your reasoning:

1. Voting has never implied being responsible for the crimes of your government.
2. There have not been elections since 2006. The Gaza Strip does not have a democratic system. This further challenges the argument that the population should pay some kind of price.
3. Hamas won the elections by taking 74 of the 132 seats in parliament. This means that 60 seats were for non-hamas participants of these elections. Consequently, many people who are trapped in Gaza and want nothing to do with Hamas are being punished/killed.
4. About 50% of the Gaza population is under 15 years of age. Attacking Gaza in this way should never have been on the table given these demographics.

In other words, the average voting age isn’t too relevant.

Shared first 🥇 with real meat products.

Still rocking a higher life expectancy though, vegans got that going for them.

The Gaza civilians voted Hamas into power.

Still civilians though. And, not all of them did. All in all it’s madness to equate the entire Gaza population with the perpetrators the way that Israel is currently doing.

To be fair, extremism flourishes when conditions are bad. Hamas is potentially a product of these conditions, or at least partially. If both peoples would be afforded better conditions, they might seem less incompatible than the two groups seem at the moment.

About time the Palestian issue is put back on the agenda. Strangely enough, Israel is doing everything they can it seems to make that happen.

Gas isn’t safe

Researchers have estimated that around 12-13% of childhood asthma cases in countries like Australia and the United States can be attributed to the use of gas stoves for cooking Source: Nationalasthma.org.au

*Stanford University researchers measured emissions for 53 stoves while on and off. *

[…]

Seventy-six percent of unburned methane leaked out through pipes and fittings when stoves were off.

[…]

A gas stove also pollutes when it is off. A 2022 study found that gas stoves, even when not in use, can leak as much benzene, a carcinogen, as secondhand cigarette smoke. Another study that analyzed natural gas samples found that 95 percent of them contained benzene, for which there is no safe level. That study also found 21 hazardous air pollutants in unburned gas, including hexane and toluene, which can affect the nervous system, liver, and kidneys.

It’s most likely a reference to their personal Lemmy server where they’ve customised the upvote button colour

As long as the work can reasonably be referred to as “helping out their parent” and you’re not getting paid for it, yup. No problem.

This is the point of the fediverse.

But users expressing their opinion about the policies of the Lemmy servers they use is part of that

How can you say Six Sigma is bullshit?

It’s literally just a method of identifying a problem, measuring and analyzing its impact, and implementing a lasting solution.

The difference between the six sigma method and traditional organizations is that:

• Six sigma gives power to experts (instead of middle managers), * It involves staff who are actually doing the work
• It tests solutions before they’re implemented
• It acknowledges that many things can’t be forced top-down by the boss

You say that probably because many components in it look like common sense.

“Duh, of course the response to a problem should be to rectify it” (simplifying slightly)

Lots of companies don’t though. Or they jump to a conclusion about the best solution. Or some middle manager decides he knows what’s best and then proceeds to break things.

It’s quite useful to have a philosophy that gives authority to non-traditional but logical steps.

I mean, that’s what people do with models and methodologies right? In my language English terms are used when using an English methodology.

Kaizen comes from Japan, was developed in Japan, and it was quite successful there. It’s not that strange to copy it word for word.

The idea behind it is quite different from what tends to happen in traditional Western companies. Since companies want to be better than their competitors and organizational change is hard, it makes sense to look for ready-made tools, rather than try to reinvent the wheel.

Of course, since (organizational) change makes many employees nervous, depending on how the organization goes about it Kaizen could get a bad name.

That also doesn’t make a lot of sense though, does it. In my language, the day comes first. Also when spoken.

There are 36 pages of translation extensions. The official one works without the cloud, which is pretty unique.

Personally I like the Immersive Translate extension. You can select your preferred translation engine (cloud based, but it supports many) and it shows you both the translated text and original text by alternating the paragraphs.

Next time reddit screws up in a high profile way, and they will screw up, the fediverse will be ready.

And it doesn’t seem entirely impossible that our Elon Musk fanboy Steve will screw up again.

I won’t be surprised to read in the future:
