Hot take: Scrubs Season 8 was weak. Dr. Cox as chief was lame, the new interns were lame, the Janitor’s wedding was lame.

Season 9 was actually a bit of a dead cat bounce.

The two basic steps to making food are to combine food and heat them.

Sandwiches and salads are examples of food that are only combined. Toast and poptarts are examples of foods that are only heated.

Typically, you start with something simple: pasta, eggs, etc. These are basically just cooking with little to no prep.

Later, you can start working on foods that need both prep and heating.

Search https://lemmyverse.net/communities for any communities you may be interested in. Many of them have the same or similar names to reddit subs. Also, subscribe to !newcommunities@lemmy.world. Once you have a few, flip your feed over to “subscribed” and browse your custom feed. Occasionally pop back into All to see if there are any other good ones you may have missed.

If you hate the web version of lemmy like I do, check out the mobile apps, which tend to have a more reddit-like design.

And once you’ve done all that, the only thing left to do it shitpost.

90% of internet has always had ads

And we were content to be back when it was a single banner. But then they started flashing, and crowding the screen, and popups that got so obtrusive they would sometimes spawn forever and crash your PC.

You are almost certainly using a browser with a popup blocker, because advertisers can never just let it be: they need to become more and more obtrusive until they start harming their customers. Protecting yourself from ads is a necessity.

Every modern browser has that built in, and phones actively block most of it. Unless you’re surfing the internet on IE4 or whatever, you are already filtering a good chunk of the dreck, because someone else saw fit to protect you from it.

Yes, the internet has always had ads, and us not being ok with it is why you’re able to browse at all without infinitely spawning popups in front of you.

Also, you realize you’re posting on an ad-free platform?

No, nobody thinks this.

“I don’t understand it so therefore it’s bad!”

From the start. Puritans and missionaries were here before the US itself was founded.

Marijuana is considered physiologically addictive.

From UpToDate:

In a national survey of 1527 cannabis users who reported at least three times per week use, the most common symptoms of withdrawal were sleep difficulty (14 percent), irritability or anger (14 percent), anxiety (13 percent), headache (12 percent), and depressed mood (11 percent). Other symptoms such as restlessness, decreased appetite or weight loss, abdominal pain, shaking or tremors, sweating, and fever or chills have been described.

“The customer is always right” is a bad maxim, just like “caveat emptor” that it replaced was a bad maxim.

A better one should be something like, “Valid customer complains should be taken seriously.” Sometimes business do something wrong and should have to fix them; other times, customers are full of it and should be informed as such.

It is the full quote and OP is not misunderstanding its meaning.

You’re thinking of a later retort that was added to try to change the quote.

No it didn’t. It always referred to customer service.

No it’s not. The original coined saying is, “The customer is always right.” “In matters of taste” was added much later to try to temper the idiocy, and has never really widely caught on.

Talk to your doctor before stopping it. This study is specifically for primary prevention, and you may be on it for secondary prevention or treatment, which are completely different things.

How do you know if a closed source application is stealing your data?

With open source, you can learn to read it, or talk to a community of people who know how to read it. If even just 1 in 500 people who downloads the software looks at the source, there are external eyes on it. Whereas with closed source, no one but the creator is looking.

Biggest thing is to still only install software you trust.

Even though I’m American, I hate the default Siri voice. I have it set to South African Voice 2, which sounds much nicer IMO.
