I visited last year. The way they handle trash is just black magic. There are almost no bins on the street. Everything is in disposable packaging. Yet, there is absolutely no litter.

The craziest example was Asakusa. I was walking around for 30 mins.holding about 10 food wrappers in my hand. Eventually a nice merchant offered me a plastic bag to put it all in when I purchased a drink.

Don’t search for reviews. Search for forum posts where users are having issues. “[Product] + [not working/failed/broken]” gets you an idea of what the product is like to live with, and now quickly issues get resolved.

TL;DR: Baka gaijin.

“Reaped” is the word Google are using.

They’re already back online, and they managed to do it without missing a pension payment.

Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants

…So, 30% of EU are immigrants?

do not choose something copyrighted.

Is that with a “nudge, nudge, wink, wink”? It would be such a shame if the whole project were jeopardised by such things.

Most of the reason I liked reddit (and use Lemmy) is because I use it almost exclusively while people are talking. Sound must always be off.

People chewed gum to fix their breath after smoking tobacco, and I don’t see people doing that anymore either.

The ads never said that gum was for smokers, but it’s for smokers.

He’s usually right. When he says this, he’s quite absolute about it. It’s just a matter of time.

Queenstown, NZ has you covered.

Look up ADHD and “Auditory Processing Disorder”. I believe there’s a decent overlap between the two.

I’m ADHD (inattentive type, so just ADD I guess).

This all checks out. The audio processing disorder part is particularly frustrating. I can hear everything perfectly, but can’t focus on a person speaking because my brain will give equal attention to every other noise source around me. I feel like a robot trying to solve a captcha when I process speech.

There’s a LOT of symptoms and traits to ADHD. Perhaps find a list and run through them. Like, do you find that stimulants have an opposite effect and actually calm you down? Do you naturally sleep several hours after everyone else? Do you fidget and jitter when idle? are you “time blind”?

It’s funny how when I jumped to DDG a few years back, I felt like I was sacrificing the quality of results for better privacy.

These days you get the best of both.

1ml of water is 1g.

Here’s a Starbucks Espresso marked as 2g of protein per 100ml and 4.4g per serve.

The best example is the slab ‘o’ Coke from Woolies.

Sugar is marked as 10.6g/100ml and 39.8g per 375ml serve (yes, stupidly large), and 24 serves in the pack.

Syrups are typically sold in grams. But 200g of sugar and 100ml of water would be more than 100ml of total product by volume, and 300g by wileight. If anything, it would be labeled 66% sucrose because it’s one third water.

Australia does this right. Everything has a percentage.

Nutritional panels have:

• Serving size
• Servings in the pack
• Energy, sugar, fat salt. etc per 100ml or 100g, and per serving.

Alcoholic beverages have “standard drinks” per bottle which factors in ABV and volume.

I can quickly see that a drink has 9g sugar per 100ml and know it’s 9% sugar. Easy.

I think adblocking is the best thing I’ve done for my children.
