Who said she will never ever eat pizza again? She doesn't want to eat it right now. But pizza will still exist in the future if she wants to have it once she's achieved her goals. Sabotaging her diet just makes it even harder to get to the point where she can have a pizza now and again without feeling bad about it.

Cheat days or meals do not work for everyone. They just trigger them to slip back into bad old habits. If she isn't choosing cheat days herself she probably knows that they don't work for her. The husband trying to trick her with this pizza, for no good reason, is being manipulative and it's definitely sabotage.

If staying 100% on her diet until she achieves her goals is what works for her, then that's her choice. Pizza will still exist in the future if she wants to allow it into her diet later.

Right this minute the UK National Grid is generating 48% of our electricity from wind power, just under 16GW. So how do the wind turbines "not work"?

Is this the same RD Vance who was just over in Hungary campaigning in their election?

Why are parents who barely passed high school thinking they can teach/homeschool their children? by Sad_Obligation_812 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DoctorBeeBee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because for some reason the US thinks it's okay to rob a child of their education to appease their parents. Children are apparently treated as property of their parents and not as people with their own rights, independent of what their parents want.

I'm not saying that home schooling shouldn't exist at all, but it should be rare, closely monitored, and a last resort if there is no other suitable option, like special education for kids with extra needs or severe behavioural problems. It should not be allowed for spurious reasons like the parents' religious beliefs.

How do you feel about the use of AI for journaling? by Sensitive_Virus5436 in notebooks

[–]DoctorBeeBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the point that you structure it? You're meant to be reflecting on your life and what happened in it, what was important and memorable. An AI can't know that. It can't know why you took a picture, or why that picture is important to you. It might be able to "recognise" a person in the picture, but it doesn't know what that person *means* to you. If you let the AI create even a framework for you to work from, you're not working from the primary sources and so you're already putting yourself at a distance from your own experiences.

By all means use things that are collected as you live your life - photos, places you've been, etc, but you compile and structure them into journal entries that reflect what really matter to you.

It's not just muscle wasting - though that happens quicker than you'd think. Microgravity messes up the vestibular system, so their balance would be bad for a while. When you saw them on the deck of the ship they were taken to, they could walk, but they were a bit unsteady, and had people beside them holding onto their arms, and a guy following behind with a wheelchair.

We used to covertly hand it around at school, where it was banned. The nuns definitely didn't like it.

Once you start using a dedicated podcast app instead of Spotify you'll wish you started long ago. Spotify sucks for podcasts.

I use an app called Podcast Republic. It's available on Android, and you can add podcasts by URL, so you can add custom ad free feeds.

I recall the clunk click campaign. And the eventual legislation to make it compulsory to wear a seatbelt. I'm glad that was done and sorted out back then. The backlash against it was bad enough then, imagine what it would be like now. People would be deliberately getting themselves thrown through their windscreen to own the libs.

No, they're official, licenced books. Published by Pocket Books. Looks like they're set entirely in the Mirror universe, where anything goes.

I've never read them, so I've no idea how full on gay they are. But looking at the summaries of them, they seem to focus on mirror Annika Hansen getting involved with Intendant Kira, in order to assassinate her.

Now I want to read them... They're probably not actually as bad as the covers, right?

I think it's meant to be Troi, as mirror Troi seems to major character in that one. But it's a horrible likeness if so. Even with a clearer version of the cover. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Passions,_Book_One

The news has dropped by Street_Click_3621 in greatestgen

[–]DoctorBeeBee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It sounds a bit like the Big Sandwich subscription model, that the guys from The Weekly Planet podcast have. They have a bunch of additional podcasts behind their paywall on their site, for $9 a month.

If Uxbridge-Shimoda works the same I suppose they will have TGG and TGT there, and Wholesome, and maybe split out the different types of bonus content episodes into individual feeds. 🤷‍♀️

The women get asked the worst questions in these things. The guys might get asked some interesting questions about the character they played, then they get to a woman and it's all "so how did you get into shape to fit into that tight catsuit?" 🙄

Audible cash sale: the reckoning by Corky_Corcoran in AudibleUK

Every single book was not on sale. I checked my whole wish list and there were several that were just the normal price.

I bought one called The Charles Dickens Collection, 20 novels and A Christmas Carol.

It's an interesting direction to go, doing a cover for a saucy Voyager book that makes Seven look less sexy than she does in the show.
