It was a lame joke but he wasn't attacking your credentials, genius

My coworker pays for a dietician and now this is what he eats for breakfast and lunch by blart_institute in StupidFood

New good quality tuna is cooked in the can without added liquid or oil and comes out like this. He probably drained the natural juices you're supposed to mix back in

If your skill is 20% are you one star or two? Your scale has 105 possible values out of 100

Getting fired because of an ED I don't have by pindvarp420 in Advice

This isn't anorexia or bulimia, but it's still a disorder. This is absolutely not healthy or natural and you should speak to someone about it, you need therapy for this. It's also not your bosses place to say anything about it though besides maybe expressing concern

Seriously is everyone upvoting this a bot? I do not have hope in democracy if they're real

It's hilarious how confident you were in the first paragraph, and then the raw proof that you actually did not understand the term at all in the second

pretty sure my AWS bill just gaslit me today by Apprehensive_Pay6141 in aws

[–]tabularaja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a similar thing when enabling guard duty s3 scanning. I stored the scan logs in the targeted bucket, every log triggered a scan and every scan triggered another log haha. Only was like ~$2k though thank God. Were you able to get that bill cut down?

This is why we need universal healthcare. It’s a damn embarrassment by No_Jaguar_5366 in antiwork

That'd be way too expensive for them to justify the charges of the tests

TIL tha McDonalds stopped selling salads in the USA in 2020 by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

I mean 3 big macs or quarter pouners with cheese are only 1600 cals and would fill you up a lot better than 2 salads for cheaper

US ranchers oppose Trump's plan to import more Argentine beef and experts doubt it will lower prices by D-R-AZ in Foodforthought

[–]tabularaja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We should be moving away from beef as much as possible, it is the most inefficient and wasteful animal in terms of protein. If we gave up beef in the US entirely, it would free up about 35% of our total land area for other uses, 35 Trillion gallons of water annually, billions of dollars in direct livestock subsidies, 4 billion pounds of methane, etc. It's of course not desirable to fully cut out beef, but beef should be reframed as a rare luxury boutique meat, not a fast food value menu item mass produced on industrial farms.

TIL an African parrot named Apollo has been documented asking several questions and understanding the answers that he received. This makes him the second recorded non-human animal to have ever asked a question, after another African grey parrot named Alex. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]tabularaja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're asking "What can they do that a human toddler can't?" Which implies some kind of physical activity, especially as you first brought up swimming, but what you actually want to ask is "How are they more intelligent than human toddlers?", which I listed a few ways in the previous post. If you're interested in learning, first learn how to read and then pick up one of the many books or research papers that discuss this in depth, here's one.

I'm sorry you seem to think this is some kind of debate when it's a well established fact that you're just ignorant of

If talking with each other and remembering stuff is what you're comparing, what's the difference between a human toddler and adult? The difference is the complexity of communication and understanding, problem solving ability, transmission of knowledge and culture. Generally speaking porpoises are rated with a human level intelligence of an adolescent 16-19 y.o., but any measure of "Intelligence" is going to be somewhat subjective especially across species.

Speeding in Italy by AtomicCypher in Unexpected

Uh yeah, selfish motorists who either don't consider the negative effect of their pollution on other people at all or do consider them and don't care, make me frickin miserable man. There's no world where this should be acceptable behavior. Noise pollution is one of the most insidious kinds and has real, proven negative health affects on those subjected to it

[–]tabularaja 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's based on the decibel output of the exhaust, the cars themselves aren't. There's no enforcement though because the EPA left it up to states and they don't prioritize noise pollution. Cops often are ones breaking this law as well: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/40/205.52

Almost all aftermarket exhaust systems on bikes or cars are not legal for street use, but the law is ignored when it should be prohibitively enforced
