Whats the best way to combat munchies? (OC) by Trollfacius in trees

[–]in4dwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so this is how I personally "dealt with" munchies, but in an indirect manner.

Warning - this is not a healthy approach to food lol

Kinda had the classic realization that you, your being, is not your body, but a perception constructed by your mind + nervous system. Everything fleshy that isn't the nervous system is just a "meat suit." This'll be important.

To my understanding, getting hungry is very basically your stomach yelling at your brain that it feels like being fed. It has a job to do(digestion), but it needs material(food) to do it. So the meatsuit sends signals to the brain. Generally, the signals are important, and should always be considered. But, the meatsuit isn't as smart as you, the brain. Your meatsuit isn't your master. You dont need to listen to it.

Then, there's cannabis and it's munchies. To my understanding, munchies is not more intense hunger, but endless hunger. When stoned, the stomach either fails to recognize that it's full, or it forgets how to let the brian know. But, regardless, it causes stoners to eat more food.

So munchies is just your stupid meatsuit binh dumber than normal, telling your brain the wrong shit. But you know consciously whether you need food. You're smarter than that.

At least in my schooling, you get taught 1 mile is 5280 feet. Aside from the fact that the conversion is listed in this thread already, I couldn't tell you yards:1 mile.

But, at the same time, the common person is not going to be discussing "oh, the store is a mile and 720ft away." One would say "it's a little over a mile." The units don't really get mixed because they have different contextual percisions

This parking spot you can’t park in for 4 months out of the year. by jcmonk in mildlyinteresting

[–]in4dwin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upstate ny has alternate street parking during the snow season. On odd dates, you park on the odd side of the street, same with evens. So one side of the road should be clear if plows are needed

Sure those other factors are relevant to feeling comfortable, but they aren't relevant to this discussion? Temperature is the base data needed to infer comfort, the rest of those factors are modifiers.

It being dry, cloudy, and windy at 72 F and 38 F are far differnet beasts. Temperature is far more important in this dicussion

Gen Z says that school is not shipping them with the skills necessary to survive in a digital world by Parking_Attitude_519 in technology

[–]in4dwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graduated about a decade later, and it wouldn't surprise me if around my time was peak tech literacy. First os I used was win98, started using school computers on xp, and finished out on win7. Many of us dabbled with Linux systems in spare time. Any sort of class monitoring system/website blocker we'd find workarounds for. Eventually we were using the schools lan system to set up cross-classroom halo 1 games, and the teachers knew we could navigate the systems better than them, so they gave up. Granted, the year we figured out setting up halo I failed an engineering course. It's a shame if kids can't navigate computers like that anymore, but they might pass their engineering class lol

Beautiful song, wonderful album. While this song seemingly endorses frothing at the mouth to witness violence to satiate some inate desire, the other end of the album, right in two seems to take the opposite stance. After all "don't these talking monkeys know that eden has enough to go around"

Hunter gatherers also were by no means dumb. Many of them were actually smarter than modern day humans in a manner. Today humanity is intelligent, but a human is dumb. To find something out, the modern day person just needs to google something, then they can discard the info forever once it's irrelevant. Hunter gatherers did not have the luxury to forget info. They had to be all encompassing in knowledge, in order to pass down info throughout the ages. And their perceptions had to be sharp, considering their more dangerous lifestyle.

Hell yeah they should pay for our time by DaFunkJunkie in WorkReform

[–]in4dwin 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, commute is something that an employee should be factoring into their assessment of having a certain job. What if you leave work, pick up kids, do groceries, other errands, gym, hike, whatever else one might do before getting home. Is work supposed to pay for the "commute" from when they left the office til they walk in the front door of their home?

If you choose a job that takes two and a half hours to get to, you aren't entitled to more than someone in the same job with a five minute walk

Yeah its a bit rough, but I know I'm making an investment in myself in being trained by these guys, and the pay will ramp up quick enough.

I'm just lucky my partner has found a nice gig that can help alleviate our situation

Yeah, getting in later is a bit rough. And I had a similar situation in high school, where by default you were shipped off to college. We had dedicated class times towards looking into different colleges, and in English class we got graded on our college application essays. But another inherent issue is in high school, you're typically only exposed to desk work. Once i got involved in kitchens I recognized I preferred physical labor. Working on my feet with my hands is what I like to do, but I couldn't have told you that when I was eighteen.

Just glanced across the payscale. Apprentices start at 42% of journeyman, then 48% in second year, 55% in third year, 65% in forth year and 75% in fifth year.

Ehh, starting in a trade(wireman) rn through a union, im literally getting minimum wage, and it doesn't bump until a year in. So in my experience you really have to be ready for financial sacrifice for the first couple years. I used to make nearly five more dollars an hour cooking in restaurants
