Today , to asklemmy in what's your favorite fries to put on ketchup that isn't thing?

I like regular skinny fries. I’m ok with wavy fries or curly fries as long as they aren’t those weird battered ones. Thick cut steak fries can’t go in ketchup - to much potato, not enough crisp.

NakariLexfortaine ,

What about waffle fries?

Today ,

I’ve learned to like them, but not those end thick potatoey ones.

bear , to nostupidquestions in How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day?

With practice. A lowered metabolism won’t prevent weight loss. You never need to eat more to lose weight. An alternative is to just keep doing what you’re doing so long as it’s working. No, you never have to eat calories back.

Supervisor194 , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?
@Supervisor194@lemmy.world avatar

I disapprove of other people’s choices only when it negatively impacts the life of others. If sex work is legal and regulated and taxed and there is a robust social safety net, then all that’s left to disapprove of is the sex itself, which is for religious zealots, not normal people. Sex is a drive honed over hundreds of millions of years, there is literally nothing more normal.

If it has been made illegal, then I may disapprove of the laws which make it illegal (ie: we don’t disapprove of anti-trafficking laws), but if such laws are in place, I cannot approve of the illegal work, because unsavory shit comes along with it that negatively impacts other people.

Lycist , to asklemmy in Word to replace "weird" when used in a positive context

Just call yourself a silly goose.

burt , to nostupidquestions in Have you ever realized just how broken you are?

I had a similar experience growing up, it sucks. It has ruined my ability to interact with and form relationships with other men.

As a father myself, I am striving to create moments like you witnessed, I refuse to let my children suffer the way I/we have.

squid_slime , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

power imbalances are born from necessity, i disagree that sex work is empowering for anyone partied to it, but i also dislike any work that places another beneath another creating class division. so while i see sex work as bad, i see sex work creating division it is something to be accepted with in our current society and if a sex worker says they feel empowered by their work then so be it.

WhoIsRich , to android in Is there any way to easily size pictures for android wallpaper yet?
@WhoIsRich@lemmy.world avatar

What phone are you using? On Samsung you just open the picture in the native Gallery app, tap the three dots menu in the corner and choose Set Wallpaper.

If you’re not using Samsung then I would expect that brands picture browser to have a similar feature.

Varyk OP , (edited )

google pixel six.

I can get into the wallpaper option, but whatever picture I choose even if it’s a screenshot of my exact screen, is blown up to about 3x proportion and i cannot make it smaller from within the wallpaper app, I have to artificially blow up the canvas size in an image editor and then try to use it in the stock wallpaper app

index , to mildlyinfuriating in This Italian "newspaper" wanted to depict the "indian heritage" of an US candidate. Chennai, Cherokee, the same.

Italian here, they probably did it on purpose so that people would repost it and they succeeded.

todd_bonzalez , to asklemmy in Do you approve sex work? Why or why not?

I’ll just respond to your take:

The idea to earn for a living doesn’t seem nice.

For you it doesn’t. For others, mind your own business.

sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other.

For you it should. For others, mind your own business.

money should not be the purpose.

For you it shouldn’t. For others, mind your own business.

If you have any desire at all to weigh in or or take a position on the consensual sex lives of other adults, you’re just revealing how little you respect the freedom and autonomy of other people. You’re just revealing your desire to control others.

notaviking , to mildlyinteresting in Yesterday the price of electricity in Finland was negative 1.5 cents / kWh

This will hopefully lead to storage methods, maybe exportable ones like hydrogen

paf0 ,

You just sent me down a rabbit hole, I had heard of electrolysis but didn’t realize that it was able to store energy on a large scale. Seems like a waste of water though.

Thorny_Insight OP ,

Well the water isn’t disappearing anywhere and I believe that works on salt water as well

paf0 ,

How is it not disappearing if it’s turned into hydrogen?

notaviking ,

Hydrogen reaction to oxygen in a fuel cell turns it back into water

paf0 ,

So no water is lost?

virku ,

That’s right!

Two H2 molecules (hydrogen) react with one O2 molecule (oxygen) to become two H2O molecules (water)

notaviking ,

Yes, basically. Enegy is used on H2O gets split and turned into H2 and O2, the H2 then in the fuel cell gets to react again with O2 to produce energy, less than what was used to split it, why it is inefficient, and now stable H20

rbesfe ,

Hydrogen is not good for energy storage. Round trip efficiency is abysmal and its incredibly difficult to store in the first place

notaviking ,

Of course not, hydrogen is pathetic compared to batteries and similar stored mass energy solutions, but hydrogen does have its place, the future should be a mixture of different solutions because many methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but having a mixture means we can apply the best solution to the viable problems. Let’s take transportation, you have a truck that earns money by travelling. If we want to transition away from fossil fuel, hydrogen makes sense over batteries that takes an hour to multiple hours to charge and the weight of the batteries reduce the overall payload of the truck.

Resonosity ,

Don’t store it in diatomic form. Ammonia is the common alternative for hydrogen storage and transport, iirc

And even if round trip efficiency is poor, if renewables are in excess, it would be so much better to dump that energy into something that to have to curtail.

dillydogg , to asklemmy in Local running community in Seattle

When I lived in Seattle I met a few good running friends by joining a Green Lake running group. I lived in the Greenwood/Fremont area and found a group through the Super Jock and Jill or Fleet Feet. I would go to the running gear stores and ask about a weekly running group.
