There's definitely some friends who participate in "I suffered psychic damage seeing this, so now you have to"

If it's milk chocolate the 40% is likely cacao content of the chocolate, not the percentage by volume in the dough

So frustrating!! Utilities absolutely should not have to care about profit

A burger being "100% Beef" is not a good thing

My whole life I’ve always hated burgers that you get from fast food/restaurants. It’s just a bland beef patty with a bunch of toppings that make it a pain to eat. These places advertise their burgers as being “100% Angus Beef!” or whatever, like that makes it appetizing… Why is this the norm? Do people just not know...

Probably at least in part because it's 3 AM, but I'm so news fatigued I automatically thought this was about Gaza...

There wasn't a picture of the accused in the article, at least on mobile web. Or is the joke riffing off Merrick Garland?

Don't care anywhere near enough. Thank you for confirming that it wasn't an issue with my browser.

World's first head transplant with robotic surgeons? Startup claims 'revolutionary' procedure (www.hindustantimes.com)

BrainBridge, a neuroscience and biomedical engineering startup from the US, has claimed that they are developing the world’s first head transplant system. According to their website, it is “a groundbreaking device that will represent a landmark achievement in the fields of neuroscience, human engineering, and artificial...

What is the point of this? Seems like the kinda shit a billionaire would fund, chasing immortality via body swapping or some horseshit.

Face transplantation I can understand, so maybe the reference to head transplantation is wishful thinking. Or macabre future-proofing.

Early contender for the "Dumbest Lemmy Comment of 2024" award. Congratulations.

Your comment read to me as a sarcastic tone making fun of Ukraine for celebrating recapturing the territory.

And it goes without saying that the opposing force of the conflict would not need to be informed of the happenings... So, there you have at least a small fraction of the reasoning

I'll have to rescind my nomination for dumbest. Unfortunately there is no substitute award, because now that I have a better understanding I think you will have much, much further to go to earn "most pretentious" :P

...Did you misread their comment? You're not making much sense here, and I like to think my reading comprehension is at least above average...

I definitely read it in more of a bit of a proud tone; "even if they tried to mess with my lunch break, union's got me covered" or so. That's probably where we diverged.

As for their first quote, well, I just figured that even if you're in a union job, it's still possible to not enjoy the job -- I'm not about to find fault in someone coveting the small moments of fun they get in their workday. (As an aside, even if a company is legally required to recognize a union, I figure "be respected" isn't really more likely post-unionization than it is beforehand, at least at most companies.)

Hope this helps

Autocomplete suggestion getting "February" wrong is a nice touch

4 months durability for an $800 phone!

My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...

Wireless charging is really good though...

I have one of those slanted chargers for desktop use, so while I'm at my desk, I just set it there (bonus that the screen is kept visible in case of a call or message)

It's reasonable to use it while it's charging on the stand, though I wouldn't enjoy doing anything landscape (it will still charge it's just very precise)

Definitely cannot deny the utility of a regular power cable if you are in bed or something and you really want to use it while charging.

Oh okay. Well that is neat then.

It's SO GOOD. I reached... An ending, but there's clearly more to do. There are at least two puzzles I'm aware of that I know I don't have all the clues for, and there are several interesting things beyond that which I don't even understand the purpose of yet.
