  • If you have no life a PHEV is the best of both worlds. I went all of COVID without ever getting gas because I was able to just use the battery. And PHEVs have been increasing in range too. I got mine in 2019 and it only has 26 miles range, but the RAV4 prime gets 42 now. Maybe there is even something better, haven't really been paying attention cause I don't need a new car.

  • Police called on boy with autism and mum using toilet in anti-trans incident
  • Renovate your business and put a bunch of single person bathrooms if you care so much about anyone who may or may not be trans being in your presence in the bathroom. Otherwise shut the fuck up and let people pee in peace

    Abortions surge in Colorado amid 500% increase in patients from Texas
  • What is actually does is leave the choice of abortion up to birth between a pregnant person and their doctor, up until birth. I can't go into a doctor and demand whatever treatment I want because it's my body.

  • (x-post from c/Tesla) Tesla vastly overstates its vehicles' range, report states
  • They literally had a team of people dedicated to covering this up, therefore admitting the range was incorrect, and people still are questioning if it's true? Wow dude

  • Did anyone have any positive results with CBD products?
  • I used to take CBD every day for anxiety and I only found this out after a couple years so thanks for bringing it up. If your medication says to avoid grapefruit, then you probably should not take CBD

  • Did anyone have any positive results with CBD products?
  • Have you tried cgrp antagonists? I tried literally everything to the point where multiple neurologists said they couldn't help me. I was using THC for a long time for my migraines but I was still suffering. With cgrp antagonists I feel 100% normal and it works every time, even if it takes longer if I take it too late.

    It's worth trying a sample if you haven't, because it's a world of difference between being high with a migraine and just not having one anymore IMO

    Nurtec is approved for preventative now too

    CBD never did shit for migraines for me, only anxiety

  • Is the blockchain an interesting innovation, aside from cryptocurrencies ?
  • Blockchain (simplified) is a giant excel spreadsheet that you can never edit, only add to. I struggle to think of any applications that is a benefit for, and even then append only databases would already do it better.

    One of the benefits is supposed to be decentralization, but people tout that as a benefit for things like house deeds, or identification, or whatever. Imagine how massive an append only excel file of every house with every owner change etc etc included in it would be. Then we once again only have the people who can afford to store that much data storing it, and we are back to where we are now.

    It doesn't really solve any problems, it just is a worse version of what already exists.

  • Standing my ground on going back to the office
  • My last job tried to do this. They didn't even have enough desks for everyone. My entire team said "no thanks" and several people quit and they backtracked real fast. Now their stock is worth $2 when it used to be $40 a year ago lol

    Just look for other jobs if you are standing your ground. Sometimes it takes a few losing a few people for them to realize they fucked up

  • X is just PayPal 2.0
  • I wouldn't even say that much. They bought out x.com as a competitor and threw their garbage code in the trash

    Confinity already had payments between palm pilots back in fucking 1998, before x.com even existed

  • Impossible nuggets are pretty wild

    I had them air fried before, and if you really inspect them and think about it you can tell they aren't chicken (from the texture but the taste is identical IMO). But I had them fried in a deep fryer this weekend and they were indistinguishable from real chicken nuggets. I am flexitarian so it's not like I haven't eaten a chicken nugget in years, they are legit. Definitely recommend trying them if you are trying to cut your meat consumption or even if you are just curious.

    They make animal shaped and spicy versions too

    What are y'all using for physical exfoliation?

    I have been on tretinoin for a while, and now that I have increased the % at the recommendation of my derm I am flakey as hell. I am looking for a GENTLE physical exfoliant, preferably something that isn't a face wash type thing since my skin hates everything and breaks out even if the water changes 😒

    How bad of an idea is this proposal to my manager?

    I was promoted, but told I will be paid 17% less than the average for my new position. Instead they gave me a bunch of stock options, which I don't care about. They said this was because of the current economic market and didn't have the budget for it.

    I am pissed. I am supposed to sit in meetings and lead projects with all these other dudes (I am a woman) and be paid less for it. On top of that my company is rubbing salt in the wound by making us all sigh a diversity and inclusion pledge. I am all for diversity and inclusion, but maybe ... ACTUALLY DO IT instead of just pledging it.

    I immediately sent out my resume and applied to several jobs because fuck this. But the more I think about it the more I think about how cushy this job is and how chill my manager and team is. I get unlimited PTO that is actually unlimited, we almost never get called when on call, I get to work on whatever I want and work whatever hours I feel like, plus it's fully remote. My team has good rapport and I like working with them.

    So here's what I'm thinking, if I work for 83% of the pay I work 83% of the hours. So I am thinking of bringing this up with my manager and requesting that I am given 1 day off a week since that would be 80% of my current schedule. I value time off and getting to work on what I want over money, even if they are being sexist trash. I will accept their sexism at the rate of 3 day weekends every week lmao. I don't want to fuck up things before I find another position though, so I'm not sure when to bring this up or if it's even worth trying.

    Anyone else deal with slightly elevated liver levels?

    I have been working with my vet on this for over 6 months now. This was my cats first blood test during his physical (new vet) and he had slightly elevated liver levels (\~180 ALT). Since then we have done and bile acids test, tried prescription food, had him on liver supplements (denamarin) forever and his levels have fluctuated slightly (never back to the normal category) but we are back to where we started after all this work. His bile acids test was normal. Next step is ultrasound.

    He has never been acting sick, eating normally, etc. The only reason I found out was the blood test at a checkup .

    I am just worried every test will come back normal? Do I need to see a specialist? Does anyone have a cat that has been through this and you found out the secret to figuring this out? Any ideas are welcome because we are both ready to be done with this 😩

    What I feed my cat that is allergic to poultry

    Last year my cat started developing a bunch of itchy scabs all over his body. It was recommended to start him on a completely different protein he's never had (I picked rabbit) and after forever via trial and error I figured out the culprit is poultry.

    If you didn't know, chicken and turkey is in like everything ever. Even if the flavor says "beef" or "tuna" or whatever there's like a 95% chance it also contains chicken or turkey. It's also really hard to figure out exactly what is a good pet food, because a lot of them contain things that cat's don't need or are harmful for them because they are obligate carnivores.

    I also didn't find many helpful resources despite chicken being one of the most common allergens for cats. I wasted so many hours finding cat food he could eat.

    Finally I have compiled a list of foods I can feed him that aren't trash, with 0 poultry:

    • Vital Essentials freeze dried patties - pork and rabbit

    • Stella and Chewy freeze dried morsels - rabbit

    • Rawz - beef and rabbit

    • Fromm - beef and venison

    • I and love and you - beef and rabbit

    • Ziwi Peak air dried - venison and lamb

    And since I have invested a ridiculous amount of my life reading about cat food at this point, if your cat isn't allergic to poultry I recommend Nulo Freestyle or Tiki cat. Rawz is also reasonably priced when you don't have to buy the weird flavors.
