I think you are grossly overestimating the audience of this author. They are a “self published” author whose books are free and not read by many people.
If anything, she will see a massive spike in readers just because of curious people checking her out.

I was thinking it was sync, but I didn’t want to call them out if I was wrong…
I suspect that it was originally written for devices with much less power and much less memory. Also reddit had upper limits on image size. So, Lemmy’s yolo way of dealing with images is coming up against sync’s attempts to be able to run nicely on the worst devices.

That’s the real problem. The app he is using reduces the image to optimize memory usage, but if the image has too many pixels in either direction, it ends up decimating too much.
I ran into that issue with one of the Lemmy clients when I was trying them out, but can’t remember which one it was. If I remember correctly, it should be something that you can turn off, but it can drastically slow down how long it takes to display some images.

Even if we completely ignore the overhead involved in buying and selling property, moving is expensive, stressful and completely upends your life. Expecting new parents to move every time they need more room, or even worse, forcing grieving parents to move because no longer “need” the space is ridiculous. If we aren’t complete monsters about people only having exactly the amount of space that they need at any given moment means that there will have to be a number of people with surplus space at any given moment. And at any given moment there will also be a number of people who need a place to stay, but may not plan on staying in that one place long enough to make it worth “buying” somewhere to live. So, I don’t see how you can stop people from letting others who need a place to live from living with them. So landlords have always existed and always will.
On the same note there’s no way to stop 2 people with similar goals from helping each other, so companies will also exist whether you want them to or not.

You are correct, our privileges and opportunities have to be paid for. Things like governments, taxes, companies, and landlords have to exist. Even insurance is a great thing. The problem right now is how all of that is currently implemented in the US.
People do fear for their lives. Get sick and your entire family can end up homeless. Cops are murdering innocent people left and right. People are working multiple jobs and still starving. They are living out of their cars, so they do not have easy access to clean water, baths, clean clothes, ECT. All while, the very government we are all paying to protect us has been taken over by people looking to use it against us.

Everyone is different, after all you are literally adjusting the chemistry of your brain. But some people take a while to adjust to psych meds. I am very sensitive to psych meds and get all the weird side effects. It usually takes me about 3 months to let my body adjust to a new drug and get a real idea of how it’s going to make me feel. Admittedly I am taking more than just ADHD meds, but it can take a while to find the right thing. I have had many whose side effects started out sucking, but then went away or became tolerable. But even worse is the ones that start out perfect, but then slowly show their problem sides. It can be so difficult to switch when the side effect seems so minor at first but everything else is perfect.
Also, there are different meds and they can affect you differently. And there are different types of meds, some are stimulants and some are not.

Were they going through the changes? If so then maybe they were talking about menopause.

But they are not afraid of children dying, that’s totally fine. They’re afraid their kids might become “weird”. Because that is how they see autism, as being weird.
And as everybody knows weird is literally worse than death.

Maybe it’s just me, but I will take a PBJ dog treat over PBJ bologna.

Ok, I get it now.

If I ignore the tattoo, it could be a forearm, but who the fuck is supposed to be reading it if it is a forearm? The only way it would make any sense is if you only cared about people reading it while you were doing pullups, otherwise it’s always upside down or facing backwards.

Someone built a shortcut to a job hunting site into the OS itself. Someone who works on the OS and for the company that made the OS. I can’t think of any greater advertisement that working for Microsoft is awful than the cry for help that is building a permanent link to a job hunting website.

Me 30yrs ago: Solid wood? Are we calling 50% sawdust and binder “solid wood”? Lol…

Me now: it has like real wood mixed in, like from an actual tree? WTF, I that is way out of my league…

It sounds like you are not in the US, so the best I can do is give you some suggestions that are available to me and hopefully they are not too far off for you…
A small 5000btu window AC are really cheap here, and are typically less than 40lbs (18kg). So you probably won’t want to pull it out of the window daily, but you could probably lug it into position at the beginning of the season, and then take it out at the end of the season.
Portable ACs typically cost a bit more but are much more mobile. They are typically heavier than comparable window ACs, but they are on wheels and the exhaust tube is light and can be put in taken out of the window on demand. Ones with both an intake and exhaust tube are much more efficient, but they are a lot harder to find (at least around here) and more expensive. The ones with just an exhaust tube do work though, however you should judge it’s cooling by half of whatever it says. So if it says it is a 10,000 BTU then it will perform more like a 5000 BTU. If you wrap the hot exhaust tube in a blanket or some other form of insulation you will see a significant improvement in cooling. Also the exhaust tubes are only about 5 to 6 inches (130-150mm) in diameter, so they can be routed through holes holes smaller than windows. On the side of my garage there’s a hole in the brick where they routed wires and other stuff to the exterior. I was able to cut a hole in the sheetrock on the inside of my garage directly opposite of that hole through the brick. I was then able to route the exhaust from my portable AC through that hole and it blows out through theme opening in the brick. Or maybe you could have the portable AC tube routed to an exhaust in another room but have the AC positioned to blow into your office Despite what others have said swamp coolers do work, even somewhere like where I live where the typical humidity outside is 75 to 95%. But the higher humidity the less positive effect they have. So they definitely fall into the “better than nothing” category. And of course the big downside is it is going to increase the humidity. If your windows are closed, that could cause problems. But my guess is that you have your windows open, so a lot of the humidity is going to make its way out with normal breezes anyways.
If all else fails Matthias has a great video on how to best position a fan to get the most airflow out a window.

Look at that low US gravity, no wonder we’re so fat. And then there’s Australia and New Zealand over there breeding the next evolution of super humans.
But most of all, wtf is going on in the Indian Ocean? Does shit just randomly launch into space sometimes?

Someone tried to explain the US political situation to it.

It was a bad day for America when schools stopped teaching home ec. We once had a friend live with us for a couple months who cooked eggs in a Saucier (sauce pan) full of oil. She kept the pan on the stove and every morning she would reheat the oil and essentially poach 2 eggs in a half a gallon of oil.

Dehumidifiers are air-conditioners… Like literally. So, you would be running a swamp cooler to cool the room by adding humidity, but because dehumidifiers produce excess heat, you would then be adding heat to dehumidify…

Meteor or golden? I hate to nag, but the preparations of either one differ a little.

Don’t laugh at him it’s not nice.
