The first couple times I saw the dress I saw it as white/gold. But after learning it was black/blue I stared at it and the colors seemed to shift in my brain. Now I can’t see the white/gold for the life of me.

The first 2 lines the letters should be getting slightly smaller and running upwards on a slight angle. The last there an attempt to correct the same thing in the middle of the last word, leading to inconsistency in letter sizes.
So close. The first car is too close to the line.
I drive to patients homes all day and I daily see people in the suburbs stop far enough back that they don’t always trip the left turn arrow, sometimes leaving that lane stuck an extra cycle. It would be infuriating, except that my drive time is paid and mileage reimbursed, so I’ve chosen not to let it bother me. I just roll my eyes and wait.
AKA 1945 US Food and Nutrition Board? Because that’s where it seems to come from.

Zero sugar sodas are 99% water.
If I have a glass of water, I’ll drink it when I’m thirsty. If I have flavored water, I’ll consume more because it’s enjoyable and I stay better hydrated. I tend to use a LOT of ice, so really I’m drinking that water too.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•‘It’s literally going to break me.’ Commuting is now unaffordable for some American workersEnglish
3·26 days agoI can only see so much of the article so I don’t know where he’s based, but I know in some places the reimbursement is mandatory. Per IRS mileage reimbursement is currently $0.725/mile. Working in hospice I drive to patients homes with my supplies full time, which cuts me a check for about $300-450 mo, which more than covers gas.
I actually just switched to a hybrid so since reimbursement stays the same, it’ll start paying for the car a well.

News@lemmy.world•SNAP benefits don't pay for rotisserie chicken. A bipartisan bill might change that
5·1 month agoWhen I roast my own chicken or turkey, I’ve already invested so much time into cooking and cleaning up that often I can’t give it more time to turn it into stock (id throw it in the freezer for another time if I had the freezer space.) If I buy rotisserie, I almost feel guilty if I don’t make more use lol. Plus my grocery store has an “almost free because it’s starting to rot” produce shelf. Pennies will get you all the veg for soup.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Our acorn tree dropped all of its blossom-thingies within a few hours

If I remember correctly, fats are very similar to plastics in molecular structure. The oils in pasta sauces get stained red, and in turn the oils like to hang on to the plastic, making them stained. It gets tricky to thoroughly wash all of the oils off the plastic because they want to stick together. One of the tricks I’ve heard to prevent staining is to spray plastic containers with regular non-stick pan spray before adding the pasta, so the clear non-stick spray oils sticks to the plastic before the stained pasta oils do.
This is also why you can wash a plastic container and sometimes it still feels a little oily or takes finger prints easily.

News@lemmy.world•U.S. buyers fret as the average cost of a new car nears $50K
1·2 months agoSitting at a Toyota dealership this moment waiting on the hybrid I’m interested in to come back so I can test drive it. The list price is like $34,000 with a number of extras.
I drive for work (hospice) so I put on the miles, and it’s just that time.
It’s rather yellow so an enriched bread? Egg yolks will do that, so is “French Toast” suggesting that egg has been added somewhere (since the traditional custard bread would be dipped in for French toast contains egg?)
I’ve also seen “French Toast Bagels” before which are basically a richer, sweetened/vanilla/maple flavored bagel. Maybe they were going for a similar “French Toast” flavored slice of enriched bread?
God, I’ve already put far more thought into this than I should have.
Edit FUCK! BUT WHY THE PIZZA?!?!?!?

There are numerous physical mental issues that bring someone to be that significant of a size. To break beyond the mental health issues to prioritize taking care of yourself and becoming healthier can be incredibly difficult. If you feel like a horrible piece of garbage and that the world thinks you’re a horrible piece of garbage, that only serves to make it harder.
You have to start somewhere. To allow yourself to be okay with your body and except where it is now can help give someone acceptance to feel okay enough with themselves to actually start making progress.
There are so many ways to get to the final product anymore, it really comes down to how much you want to fiddle with it and what you can spend.
I bought a discounted refurbished Breville Bambino Plus 5 years ago. It doesn’t have all the fancy adjustments but it’s faster and tastier than my drip machine and I just have to push a couple buttons. With enough money there’s even fully automatic machines that you dump beans in and the machine does the rest.
All that said, fuck Nestle, fuck Nespresso.
I LOVE Chicago dogs, but the celery salt is a deal breaker. It tastes like someone handling industrial chemicals mishandled my food. I’ll put ketchup on it before celery salt.
(For the record, I really don’t give a hoot if someone wants to put ketchup on their hotdog, and if people like celery salt, more power to you. Personally though, the flavor is absolutely offensive.)
And find a way to charge the fetus for the hospital bill after delivery.
