dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My credit union no longer allows me to payoff pending purchases made on my credit cardEnglish62·6 days agoIt really depends on your bank or credit card issuer. Some places will accrue interest from the day of purchase until the day of repayment. It might be pennies for me and you, but I’m sure they make bank on their collective customer base. And deliberately making it difficult to pay off debt that causes additional charges should be illegal.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•GitHub introduces hybrid post-quantum SSH security to better protect Git data in transitEnglish40·6 days agoIf you are like me and not sure what “post-quantum SSH security” means, you should read this. TL;DR it’s an algorithm believed to be unbreakable by quantum computers.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armourEnglish391·7 days ago👆
This. Don’t ever let anyone ever convince you that you’re an NPC in your life. You may not be someone else’s main character, but that’s okay. You are yours.
~Believe me when I say there is nothing more debilitating than losing your sense of self in your life.~
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•White House Plans Broad Crackdown on Liberal GroupsEnglish1·7 days agoHonestly, it’s a very nuanced topic that has no clear delineation of right and wrong. There are some things the Dems will champion, while other things they will abdicate. It’s confusing as fuck to be honest; not to mention mentally exhausting. But at the end of the day, they’re still far better than their conservative counterparts (sometimes barely).
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•White House Plans Broad Crackdown on Liberal GroupsEnglish24·7 days agoWhile true to a small degree, it is very obvious how lopsided one side is in comparison to the other. But I wholeheartedly agree that us citizens are the ones left in the lurch and usually fighting with each other (class warfare).
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Aurora mayor defends decision to raise flags despite state, federal ordersEnglish2·7 days agoAt first I thought you were referring to the Mayor. After reading the article, and re-reading your comment, I now get you were talking about Kirk. Suffice it to say, I was confused. 😅
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned?English9·14 days agoIt’s quite possible these men have reached the Nirvana of being thick-skinned. If so, we all should be in awe, as that is a rare thing to achieve. It also could be that men are not allowed to show emotion, and would otherwise be condemned if they complained or didn’t “take it like a man”; especially being around a lot of women where they feel even more pressured to show up and be a man.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•NRA says it opposes idea of banning transgender Americans from owning gunsEnglish31·17 days agoThe enemy of my enemy and all that shit.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real.English6·18 days agoPersonally, and take this with a grain of salt, I feel like you’re overthinking it. Everything at some level is just an abstraction of something else. So what. Dimensional exist whether you acknowledge them or not. 🤷♂️
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Parents of Lemmy, would you have your kids keep the bedroom door open when the gender they were attracted to comes over?English8·18 days agoThat’s a really good question.
My first two trains of thought would be 1) door open, or 2) no going to your room to be alone with the person you’re attracted to. But at the same time, I remember that it’s going to happen, regardless of what I do or say, and my first concern is that they are safe.
So really, I don’t know what I’d do, and I’m not looking forward to finding out in the foreseeable future (I have a tween now, so my days are numbered).
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables neededEnglish41·18 days agoAnd I guarantee some organization will figure out how to use this for some police state bullshit.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Facing Voter Pressure, Swing-State Democrat Swears Off AIPAC CashEnglish9·19 days agoI wouldn’t consider “democrats” like Fetterman actual democrats. They’re there just for the votes, and then will push whatever fucked up agenda they can to kiss Republican ass.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Heroes with super strength would be really out of shapeEnglish6·20 days agoExercise barely burns any calories compared to the calories burned through your daily activities, like breathing, moving around, etc.
Think Mark, think! If you need on average 2k calories to maintain your current weight, that means your body is already burning 2k calories a day for you doing nothing extra like working out.
What working out really helps with (aside of “increasing strength”) is to keep your body in motion and flexible. When your body is in motion it will ramp up your metabolism throughout the day (comparatively to a sedentary lifestyle).
Also, you have a default level of strength that does not need exercise to maintain. So if I can lift a 40lb bag of dog food with ease, then I can keep doing that regardless of I work out. Now, factor in that if my job was to load and unload 40lb bags of dog food every day, I’d probably get stronger just because my job is my exercise.
Sorry for the rambling, but my point is that there is so much more to being fit and healthy than simply exercising (and I imagine super heroes do all those other things too by way of their “job”).
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"Wait, was that shampoo? Yeah.. Welp, I guess we're washing our body with shampoo today."English2·20 days agoAny tips for moisturizers that don’t leave you feeling even greasier than before you showered?
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"Wait, was that shampoo? Yeah.. Welp, I guess we're washing our body with shampoo today."English7·20 days agoHonestly, sometimes using just water is fine and good for your skin since soap dries it out.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•'3d-printing a screw' is a way to describe how AI integration is stupid most of the timeEnglish11·22 days agoWho suggested major manufacturers 3d print their parts? That’s not what the analogy said at all. But hey, make your own shit up if that makes you feel smug and superior.
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Rudy Giuliani injured in New Hampshire car crash, his spokesperson saysEnglish102·22 days agoOh no! I hope the other driver is okay!
dohpaz42@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•'3d-printing a screw' is a way to describe how AI integration is stupid most of the timeEnglish115·22 days agoUm. You do know that people already print screws using materials like metal and nylon, which are what a lot of screws are already made out of. Just saying. 😊
Edit: people even 3d print guns.
Another way to think about it is to say that education is the memorization of knowledge, while intelligence is the application of said knowledge. i.e. book smarts vs. street smarts. They aren’t the same things, but are two building blocks that work together.
At least that’s how I look at it.
