UPS or USPS has to pay for health insurance, retirement plans, vehicle maintenance, gas, all kinds of stuff.

With Lyft the driver is responsible for everything, and since there’s lots of people with cars, they can just churn through them. We’re also talking local delivery here not cross country shipping.

Bat and bird poop can carry diseases such as histoplasmosis.

OP is asking about seeing light, not being directly hit by it. A psychological effect.

I do have a link: https://youtu.be/2UsNbsjpuLc

Citation needed. The junctions in cardiac cells make electrical signals propagate through them all, so acting independently isn’t something that’s normal. There’s two loops, but one pump. It’s a single system.

all the “positive effects” disappeared over time and i was just left with those meh ones

This is the case for every single drug I’ve tried over a long period of time, and one of my hobbies is treating Erowid like a Pokédex.

Hm, still might be worth a shot. There are ways to grab private posts when you’re logged in by using a browser console and finding the line for the video but I’m kinda too dumb for that. I’d probably just use a screen recorder at that point. I don’t need a Snapchat web-dl.

You just said web though, right? Not the app. There’s downloaders for everything if you have a link to a public post.

“Snapchat video downloader” search gives me an entire page of downloaders. I don’t use Snapchat so I can’t comment on what works or doesn’t, but this is how I download any other social media video.

For social media videos I always just search for <service> video downloader, paste the link to the post and get the video. I do this for Facebook, instagram, and Reddit. I don’t want some plugin I’ll use rarely and the web downloaders seem to work fine.

It’s totally true from a physics standpoint. A longer lever arm between the load and fulcrum requires more force to move the same weight, all else being equal. Edit: thinking on this more, I think a type 3 lever is more applicable to my chest flye example, but the same concept applies; as you lengthen the load arm relative to the effort arm, more input force is required to move a given load.

“Harder to exercise” is poorly defined, especially when you go on to discuss endurance, speed, and force, all of which are very different terms.

I totally get what you’re saying, but I specifically narrowed it down to force for a reason. My shorter friends kick my ass in lifting due to the mechanical advantage their shorter limbs have, but I smoke them in a distance run because my longer limbs allow me to traverse a greater distance in a single step. This is complicated though because larger lungs are a factor here too.

The smaller the foot, in this case, the harder the muscles have to work to create the same torque (or moment).

That’s backwards, a shorter lever arm requires less force. If you had a 10 foot long foot, you’d have to have insanely strong calf muscles to stand on your tip toes, because how far the load is from the fulcrum.

torque is the cross product of force and length

Correct. The force at the end of the lever is your body weight. A longer foot thus exerts more torque on your ankle and requires more calf muscle to move. Longer arms don’t make chest flyes easier, they make them harder.

That would be relevant to the calf muscles, but the lower surface area of the feet means higher pressure in terms of psi or pascals.

I wasn’t the biggest fan, thanks for the recommendations. I’ll give em a shot.

I assume just via the normal desktop site? I tried that back when I very first started with Lemmy but I quickly switched to using the Voyager web app just because I like the app features and especially the post layout. I might have to give the default web interface another shot as I only tried way back when I first switched over.

Out of curiosity, how many browse on desktop?

I’ve been using Lemmy since the API exodus and only ever substantially used wefwef/Voyager the whole time. Even on desktop I use the PWA for Voyager.

It would be cool if something like this could also be incorporated into the apps because it sucks when someone puts a link that doesn’t correctly use your instance to see the post they’re sharing, instead opening a browser to display the post.

There’s no point as a swamp cooler does not have heat to reject. A heat pump in a traditional AC works by making one side hot (outside) and one side cool (inside). A swamp cooler decreases temps by evaporating water, which absorbs energy.

Also, swamp coolers are only effective in very dry environments. Unless you’re in the desert it’s going to make it feel warmer by raising humidity significantly. A large part of why AC makes it feel nicer is reducing humidity, which allows sweat to work better.

A 1080p Bluray disk will look far far better than Netflix in 4k every time because its not compressed.

You’re not wrong about the quality difference but video on a Blu-ray is compressed. There is no way to get raw video unless you’re shooting it yourself.

any form of compression will cause loss in fidelity in some way

Lossless video compression also exists although I don’t think any consumer products have it.

You’d have to have the most insanely strong calves in history to push up using your feet only.

I got called into the office by my supervisor for a verbal counseling because I used the words “myriad” and “recalcitrant” in an email to a subordinate who was not doing their job.

It says “speaking in Italian” on my pirated copy.
