  • Apples have loads of fiber (especially pectin) which makes you feel full and actually take in fewer calories of what you’re digesting. Apples IN MODERATION do not make you fat. If you eat 10 apples a day on top of your normal food, yes, they will make you fat. They will not make you fat if you eat them when you feel snackish and would otherwise eat a cereal bar or worse. Even if you eat nothing instead and decide to stay hungry, I think studies show that during your next meal you will overeat more calories than the fruit would have had, if you had eaten it as a snack. I can try to find the source if you’re interested.



  • I would like to stress the eating better part. In the past, I’ve made the mistake of looking only at calories. I never chose the whole grain option because it had more calories. Weight loss was hard and I was constantly hungry. Now I stopped eating at the canteen for lunch and started cooking my own stuff instead with lots of whole grain pasta, whole grain rice, potatoes, lots and lots of vegetables, legumes and plant based protein like tofu and tempeh. For a sweet snack I eat fruit. Lost 9kg in 5 months and it didn’t even feel really hard, honestly. Cooking takes a lot of time though, but it’s so much easier than being hungry all the time.


  • Home Assistant! I got a cheap refurbished mini PC for 60 bucks and a zigbee stick for 12 or so, been running HA for a year now, it works very well and pairs perfectly with the IKEA zigbee stuff. I have it read the alarm from my phone and turn on radio on a wifi speaker and smart lights at that time. Kitchen light is now automatic with a little motion sensor and ESP I got from AliExpress for a few bucks. Everything is completely local, no internet access. It’s great!

    It opens up that possibility, but there is not proof of him doing anything wrong.

    Spending time and discussing politics with a convicted sex trafficker as well as getting on his “Lolita express” is already wrong enough in my opinion.


  • My opinion is different from most other comments here. AI is a tool. If it gets the job done exactly the way you intended it, there is no problem in using it. In my opinion, it’s only slop if it’s generated mindlessly and without care. In your case, you gave very specific constraints. If the result is exactly what you intended it to be, if you can get behind it 100%, it is your art, it is not slop. I think people need to reflect on their definition of art a bit. There was a time when people claimed using Photoshop made your art unworthy. The new tool is now AI. Just because it makes creating something so easy doesn’t mean a tool is not “allowed” in art. Actually, anything is allowed in art, there are no rules.



  • To be honest, if it’s a job I really wanted, I would definitely do it (and have done in the past, even for a job I wasn’t sure I wanted - actually got it and then declined the offer in the end). It’s something you’ll spend 40 hours every week of your life with. In my opinion it makes sense to invest some time beforehand for both sides to make sure it’s a good fit. Otherwise nobody will be happy long term.






  • Naja, du forderst, dass Leute, die sich gegen Kinder entscheiden, sozusagen nicht vom Generationenvertrag profitieren dürfen sollten. Meine Frage war etwas provokativ gemeint, damit du darüber nachdenkst, ob die gesellschaftliche Verpflichtung wirklich in irgendeiner Weise eine Motivation sein kann oder sollte, Kinder zu bekommen. Wer wirklich Kinder will, entscheidet sich selbstverständlich nicht allein aus Kostengründen dagegen, es sei denn, man nagt wirklich komplett am Hungertuch. In der Regel werden also andere Gründe dahinterstecken, und der Kostenfaktor kommt vielleicht bei einigen dann noch oben drauf. Diesen Menschen das dann vorzuwerfen finde ich einfach falsch - niemand, der keine Kinder bekommen möchte, sollte Kinder bekommen (müssen). Allein schon zum Wohl der potenziellen Kinder.

    Tut mir Leid, wenn dich meine Antwort geärgert hat, aber als kinderlose Frau im gebärfähigen Alter erlebe ich es leider immer wieder, dass mir von Eltern (übrigens eigentlich ausschließlich Vätern, aber das nur am Rande) erzählt wird, wie falsch das doch sei. Es scheint Eltern oft wirklich sehr schwer zu fallen, von ihrem eigenen Wunsch nach Kindern zu abstrahieren und sich vorzustellen, dass es Leute gibt, die danach eben einfach so gar kein Bedürfnis haben. Und das las ich auch ein bisschen aus deinem Kommentar heraus und meine Frage zielte darauf ab, dir das bewusst zu machen. Lass Leute doch einfach diese Lebensentscheidung für sich treffen, sie werden es sich wohl überlegt haben. Es gibt ja übrigens auch durchaus noch weitere Möglichkeiten, die Bevölkerung zu “verjüngen”, durch Migration zum Beispiel.
