If you’re looking at which states have been called then there may not be any surprises, but things like the NYT needle are following trends in states which are yet to be called.

Berries like raspberries blackberries blueberries and even strawberries don’t have lots of sugar, maybe 5g per 100g. That’s one level teaspoon.

The lactose in milk is almost all consumed in the fermentation process, so maybe a few more grams per 100.

The rest of the sugar in those glasses is just sugar manufacturers include to make their product more appealing.

One of the problems with sugar is that it represents empty calories.

Given my age, weight, and activity levels maybe I need x calories per day, any more and I’ll gain weight. I also need protein and fibre and micronutrients. As you get older (like me) you get less good at extracting nutrients.

The challenge is, getting enough nutrients in few enough calories to avoid gaining weight.

In this context sugar is just dead weight.

I was going to say there’s a lot of variation within brands.

Most yoghurts have a “greek” variant with about 5g per 100g carbohydrates.

Honey is more or less flavoured sugar IMO.

Berries are a great combo with yoghurt, also chopped nuts.

I think you might be talking about vote fuzzing. This denies bots the ability to check whether they’re banned.

Votes shown are inaccurate by a few votes . You can’t check whether your vote was recorded by refreshing the page.

I don’t really understand what you’re getting at.

People often downvote without posting a comment as explanation.

I’ve noticed lemmy users do this more than reddit.

The explanation is simply that they don’t like the vibe of what you’re saying but don’t know how to respond.

Sure ok. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

The issues you’ve mentioned apply generally to fluoridation anywhere. It sounds like the reason why it’s not present in Quebec is that the resistance was better organised.

There’s fluoride in the water here in regional Western Australia, but I fear that’s probably the least concerning additive. I’ve never really thought much about it but apparently there’s chlorine in the tap water, you can smell it from time to time. If you think about it, things love to live in water and keeping it free of things like cholera must take some doing.

TIL I guess.

I’m concerned that using the correct form will make me look like an idiot though.

That’s interesting. I thought it was more or less universal. Any idea why?

Most people don’t think that much about politics.

A woman might have a husband who’s generally a good guy and doesn’t talk politics.

A few days ago he comes home and someone at work had been talking about how some Trump policy would be better for their industry. Husband is going to vote for Trump.

Woman Google’s Trump, sees his abominable attitude towards women, sees tiktok about cancelling partners vote, votes democrat.

Ah OK, that makes a lot of sense.

Somewhat related is iron man. The suit can’t protect him from g-forces. He would just be pulpy human goo in a can.

That said, I feel silly pointing out anything to do with super hero’s because they’re not intended to be realistic.

I think projectiles often push other crap in to the wound, like bits of clothing et cetera.

I learned this from movies so it must be true.

Just several years ago I was shocked to learn that you do CPR if someone doesn’t have a pulse, not a defibrillator.

It’s a very, very common misconception.

Since then those portable defibrillator units have shown up in public places, which has led me to morbidly wonder two things:

Firstly, how often are they used incorrectly?

And secondly, how do you know when you’re supposed to use it? I suspect the answer to this one is “the EMT on the phone will tell you to” but… IDK it would seem unlikely that most people could do something like that in an emergency.

I guess in the before times when a computer updated a monitor it was probably important.

Oh man. That really sucks.

I really liked this series until a few moments ago.

That woman has been through a truly harrowing experience in her 20s and they’ve just dumped on her again.

What a shit show, honestly.

IDK if I really want to know but I can imagine a mid-to-far-left party like the greens would have a lot of disparity in the views of members.

God that’s cringey. Do you practice that in the mirror? “We will not speak again. History will speak for me.” What does that even mean?

History will probably confirm that Americans on both sides of the political divide have become less tolerant, and find silly ways to justify their intolerance while being completely unable to acknowledge their own shortcomings.

My comment isn’t a personal attack. I was trying to demonstrate the problem with you using the paradox of intolerance as an excuse to be intolerant. While you’re using the paradox to be intolerant of out-group, out-group is doing the same to you.

Exactly what a trump follower would say.
