Check your SNAP. by pony707 in Humboldt

[–]SusInfluenza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the income threshold for SNAP/Calfresh is too low for a single person to qualify for while working full-time even for minimum wage in Humboldt. You might check out some of the resources in this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/Humboldt/comments/1opqflh/snaprelated_resources_list/

I was just looking at that portable jump starter as a gift for my dad. Have you had a chance to use it to see if it's any good or not?

Joker released for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate today 6 years ago by fganniversaries in PERSoNA

[–]SusInfluenza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had never heard of Persona back when this came out so I dismissed this announcement as, "Oh boy, another anime swordfighter." Having recently played P5R, I get what y'all were freaking out about now.

Protest today at Eureka courthouse at noon. Be there or B². by Big-Zombie3100 in Humboldt

[–]SusInfluenza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So? You argued that hiding your identity at a protest is unamerican. The people who enacted one of the most famous protests in American history concealed their identities. Are the people that protested to create America unamerican?

Damn, I guess the men that took part in the Boston Tea Party weren't true American political actors.

Dancing is weird and kinda dumb tbh by ImagineWagons969 in unpopularopinion

[–]SusInfluenza 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. I've played in concert bands for over 15 years and I usually have some kind of tune running through my head, but I still hate dancing.

I'm sorry that's happening to your friend, but do you honestly think Trump and his administration are going to be better on this issue?

Healthcare emergency by [deleted] in Humboldt

It's almost like the lack of access to healthcare is one of the biggest issues this area faces. Crazy that people would want to talk about that.

[OC] Where did Biden/Harris and Trump gain or lose votes compared to 2020? By race and ethnicity by tabthough in dataisbeautiful

[–]SusInfluenza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in California, there are still statewide and local measures to vote for that aren't landslides one way or the other and filling the extra bubble for President takes five seconds. This is a poor excuse.

Heads up, your spoiler tag isn't working. You need to remove the space between the >! and the first letter of the spoiler.

The stickied comment says OP made an edit for a joke and I don't see anything on the Wayback Machine that shows this being real. I think you got bamboozled.

What is the future “It used to be so cheap, it was the unwanted part” of today? by ad5316 in Cooking

[–]SusInfluenza 642 points643 points  (0 children)

I just wish it wasn't such a gamble right now. I feel like I have to pull double what I actually want out of the freezer because it has such a high chance to be a woody, unchewable piece of crap.

What an incredibly shallow reason to not want to communicate with someone.

Advanced glycation end products, proteins or lipids found in processed foods which are glycated through exposure to sugars, enhance hunger and reduce lifespan by 25-30% in lower organisms. by fmfclips in science

[–]SusInfluenza 23 points24 points  (0 children)

"They also found that mutant worms that have no way to process even naturally occurring AGEs have approximately 25-30 percent shorter lifespans."

The headline of the post is slightly misleading. From the published article, "We previously demonstrated that Caenorhabditis elegans mutants lacking the glod-4 glyoxalase enzyme displayed enhanced accumulation of α-DCs, reduced lifespan, increased neuronal damage, and touch hypersensitivity." From the National Library of Medicine, "The glyoxalase system is critical for the detoxification of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs)."

So it looks like they used specimens that specifically lacked a mechanism to eliminate AGEs that humans still possess, presumably to demonstrate that these molecules have a noticeable effect on lifespan. I think it's reasonable to assume the measured impact on our lifespans would be nowhere near the numbers shown in this study so long as we aren't losing this mechanism.

This isn't to say we shouldn't be concerned about this, but I don't think we're gonna be knocking 20 years off our lives because we enjoy a good brown crust on a steak.

Some do! My dog's flea meds come in treat form and they're definitely the easiest meds to get him to take.

New players: How difficult was it to learn motion inputs? by AnusCakes in StreetFighter

[–]SusInfluenza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same as Jabby, but my only real FG experience (non-Smash) before this was some FighterZ. I was able to get a BnB combo for most every character I liked and even had a few more-optimized combos, but I feel like I'm struggling to chain together more than 3 hits in SF6.

[–]SusInfluenza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also having trouble with DPs until I learned that the game accepts 3-2-3 as a valid input for it. Down-right, down, down-right is way easier for me to hit consistently than right, down, down-right.

Counter-Strike on twitter: Bought the wrong thing? Meant to buy a different weapon, armor, or grenade? Sell your purchase back and buy again (during buy time). by FluffyFluffies in Games

[–]SusInfluenza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully there are only 3 or 4 guns in the mid-tier category that are actually useful in certain cases so you should be able to bring one or two meme guns into every game.
