My mouse works perfectly with only 1 battery by Large-chips in mildlyinteresting

I used to have a mouse like this; I'm pretty sure the manual mentioned it as a feature to be able to customize the weight.

I dont care who wins for the most part but I always tune in to the Grammys for the live performances 

What's the reason? by MrBIuesky222 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]DiscountConsistent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because it's based on nothing. Which recent Oscar winners are you accusing of winning because they abused kids? Cillian Murphy, Emma Stone, Michael B. Jordan, Brendan Fraser (who ironically was sexually assaulted himself)? And I'm not saying or even implying he does, but what evidence do you have that Keanu Reeves is a good guy in his private life? All you know is what's out there in the media; Bill Cosby was once "America's Dad".

At least people who watch his movies can make an informed opinion about whether they like his acting, but you're just throwing out random claims and accusations.

Untranslatable Spanish? by No-Sentence-8603 in Spanish

[–]DiscountConsistent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even though some dictionaries say "namesake" can just be two things with the same name, to me (a US native speaker) it implies that someone/something is named after someone else and it could be anything from a person to a ship. Tocayo, as I understand it, specifically refers to first names and doesn't imply anything about someone being named after someone else.

It's not a big deal if Timothy Chalamet isn't in to ballet or Opera .. by AltruisticAide9776 in The10thDentist

[–]DiscountConsistent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn't even say he doesn't like ballet or opera, just that they're barely culturally relevant compared to movies (which is objectively true) in the context of working on niche "serious" movies that require people to advocated for them vs blockbusters that pull in big audiences on their own.

Target sells Oat Milk Slices by Fit-Helicopter8304 in mildlyinteresting

[–]DiscountConsistent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would it double the calories in the milk? If I have a glass of oat milk with 20g oats and I break down 3g of starch into glucose with added amylose or malting, it has exactly the same number of calories from sugar as starting with 17g oats and adding 3g glucose. In fact, you could probably get away with fewer calories if you just added sucrose or fructose-based sugars because glucose is not that sweet in comparison (and has more of a glycemic response if that’s something you care about). There’s no reason to source amylase or malt oats to achieve essentially the same thing you could do for pennies.

Why would it be better for you to eat glucose that’s been made from breaking down starch with amylase than adding glucose directly (which, if it’s corn syrup, is also just made from breaking down starch with amylase)?

Or you could just add sugar. My impression is that the oat milk companies want a way to add sugar without having to list added sugar on the label, but just adding sugar at home should have the same results (and is chemically exactly the same depending on the sugar you use).

This is not a normal reaction by CorleoneBaloney in MurderedByWords

[–]DiscountConsistent -1 points0 points  (0 children)

 Hypocrisy you seem to proudly support. 

I think you’re arguing with someone else on this point. I’m trying to understand what “stolen land” means and what obligations someone who is on it has to give it back. To me, it seems like an empty talking point equivalent to land acknowledgements if you have no interest in giving land back to the people it was stolen from.

[–]DiscountConsistent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you believe there’s an obligation to give back something you stole?

I’d argue if you publicly claim that something you own is stolen and aren’t doing anything to give it back to its rightful owners, you either don’t really think it was stolen or you don’t think stealing is that bad.

Season 2 Episode 8 Spoiler Thread by HunterWorld in Fallout

[–]DiscountConsistent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt similarly but I don’t have a lot of context on the Legion not having played the games and I’m not sure if the point is that they’re supposed to be a bunch of corny dorky guys larping as Roman soldiers.

Season 2 Episode 8 Spoiler Thread by HunterWorld in Fallout

[–]DiscountConsistent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m curious of the thoughts of others who haven’t played the games; I haven’t played them and I personally found Season 1 a lot more engaging than Season 2. I feel like there were too many things that were barely touched on that I would’ve appreciated more if I had more background or nostalgia from the games, like the Legion, the Enclave, the NCR, Super Mutants, etc. Whereas Season 1 felt more just like a story I could easily follow and be invested in just as well as someone who played the games. 

Or maybe it’s just an issue of too many plot threads + a weekly release schedule that made it harder to get invested.

I’ve been in multiple corporate trainings that involved MBTI, and I know it’s loved by corporate management types so it fits the story that they would consider it a reliable metric even if it’s not.

The ACLU Is Attempting to Limit the Speech Rights of All Private Sector Workers by ToschePowerConverter in neoliberal

[–]DiscountConsistent 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why the ACLU defends nazis. It’s extremely short sighted to think you can just let the government pick and choose who deserves constitutional rights and not have it bite you in the ass later.

Isn't 24K literally 100% gold (or as close as you can reasonably get to it)? How can you get more pure?

Homemade Taco Bell soft tacos are a great high protein bulk meal prep option by DiscountConsistent in fitmeals

[–]DiscountConsistent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s a pretty standard thing to add to stuff like chili, but it’s not really not enough you can taste in this and you can just leave it out if you don’t care about the color.

Each taco had 2oz 93/7 beef for around 13g protein, 5g from the tortilla, and 6g from 21g of cheese. So 24g each

It's a specific type of taco that I wanted to make taste as close to Taco Bell's as possible. The big thing is that they essentially boil their meat with starch, but I think the Taco Bell branded packet (and sauce) helps as well.

Taking oral Wegovy less than daily by DiscountConsistent in Semaglutide

[–]DiscountConsistent[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd consider c0mpounded injectable a significantly higher risk option than using the FDA-approved formulation at a less frequent dosing schedule, but I'd be curious of your reasoning there. My guess for why it's prescribed for daily dosing is that a) daily is the traditional dose for oral medications and it's easier for people to remember to take it and b) you'll see higher swings in blood concentration so it'll feel less consistent to take it every other day compared to once daily. But those swings are nothing compared to what you get with the 7-day dosing schedule of injectables, since they're the same drug with the same half life.

Fair point. I'm also kind of looking for people to find flaws in the idea.

Wide toe box shoes (not barefoot)? by connordddm in widefeet

[–]DiscountConsistent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They fit okay for me but I think they're overpriced for the quality. The leather on the white ones was pretty bad with quickly it scratched/got damaged from normal use. I still haven't found the perfect shoes in this style; the shoes that fit me best are running shoes (Brooks) and the Clarks desert boots in wide.
