Urim has been Israeli since the country came into existence, so I’m not really sure what you’re talking about. Unless your position is that all of Israel is occupied territory, in which case I invite you to take a look at what Palestinians did the moment they gained power over Jewish civilians and imagine that scene repeated across Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

There is a riddles sublemmy, just fyi!

Temperature is average kinetic energy. It is very easy to put kinetic energy into an object and much harder to take it out. Microwaves do it by shining a “light” tuned to microwave frequencies on objects. So you can imagine the problem is about as hard as shining a lamp on something and having it get colder. Laser-based cooling methods do exist but they’re quite expensive and mostly operate on the atomic scale. For now, the best way we know of to cool large items in bulk is to put them next to something that’s even colder—in short, a refrigerator.

I did this but the power never went out. I don’t drink bottled water, but my freezer is full of them now now. Do I just defrost them all in a big pot or something?

I originally wrote this for [email protected] but it works pretty good for me too:

NATO Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?

NATO Astronaut 2: Nope.

Astronaut 1: It kinda makes you want to…

Astronaut 2: Break into a song?

Astronaut 1: Yep.

I love the trenches,

I love the roadside mines,

I love blown bridges,

I love when turrets fly.

I love the whole world

And all its sights and sounds.

Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)

I love my plane-fus,

I love nuke submarines,

I love logistics,

I love democracy!

I love the whole world

And all its craziness

Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)

I love dictators

(I like to watch em hang)

I love Three Gorges

I love when things go bang!

I love the whole world

It’s such a brilliant place

Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (repeating until fade)

But what about the comic?! The comic says I don’t have to change my lifestyle to align with my purported values! It absolves me of my responsibility to do anything beyond complain, no matter how trivial the change required! Doesn’t the comic say complaining about a problem is basically just as good as actually contributing to fixing it?

Nope, the placebo effect can have physical effects and be genuinely curative. The level to which this is the case is highly variable from patient to patient, but it is inaccurate to say that is limited to improving sensation and perception of illness. Not to mention, in many cases the malady being treated is one of perception, for example, in pain management. And alleviating pain in itself has downstream positive effects on disease progression and patient QOL.

Ask your questions here! The lemmy archives aren’t as deep as Reddit’s yet, but one by one well get there!

Holy shit, the tl;dr bot has made it over. Thank the lord!

1. cut dopamine drips out of your life for a short time. If the object is easily accessible and causes pleasure without effort, remove it.
2. Work out. Get used to listening to your body at its absolute limits and take pride in the steady progress of your physical self
3. reintroduce the stuff that actually brings you joy

Much easier to moderate your consumption when you’ve spent some time without.

Incredibly accurate. It’s nuts how they all could be one person.

Oh man this gives me an idea for a great meme. Imagine place, Japan, but instead it’s “place, r/place”.

If you are thinking of doing this, I am begging you to stop and spend that time contributing to lemmy instead. 10,000 users will be a drop in the bucket for r/place, but 10,000 extra comments or posts could be the difference between the whole site surviving or not.

Hahahahahahahaha

But seriously—

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

When I start feeling like this that’s when I know it’s time to trim another social media account.

Getting into the habit of breaking your dreams into actionable steps and then performing those steps is the single most important skill you can learn in life. What can you do today to achieve your dream? What will you do tomorrow? One day you will stumble across something that truly captures your interest, and when you do all the practice you put in now turning your dreams into things you can do will come in handy. Dream big, but don’t stop at dreaming. Learn as much as you can about everything you might need. Your YouTube career might not make it, but any skills you pick up in video production and SEO might be helpful down the line. If your dream changes tomorrow but you learned a skill today, then it wasn’t a waste.

Thanks for the response. To be honest, that seems a bit misguided. Seems like it adds a fair bit of complexity and performance issues in exchange for a relatively marginal benefit(hiding an IP that’s probably dynamic from a server the user chose to visit anyways).

For an example [email protected] has a different set of stickied posts when visiting through lemmy.world versus this instance. It’s clearly a day or so out of date.
