Try overnight oats using jumbo oats

Leave 50g jumbo oats and 100ml soy milk and some cinnamon mixed in a closed container overnight in your fridge. Then in the morning add a splash of additional soy milk, other stuff*, and some honey.

The other stuff I use (all at the same time):

• pear/strawberries (depending on season)
• walnuts
• milled flaxseed
• Brazil nuts
• omega 3 seed mix (cheap and healthy)
• dried cranberry (or raisins)
• macadamia nuts

You can also use a nut mix (without peanuts). I just don’t because I don’t tolerate hazelnut well.

This breakfast is super useful because it includes so many nuts, which are recommended but quite tricky to include in one’s diet. And it adds a ton of fiber and a piece of fruit.

No, that’s a welfare state

Autumn’s beautiful though. It’s just that shorter days and the reason can make it a bit depressing.

Taiwan is a full democracy, not a flawed one. At least according to the widely respected Economist Democracy Index.

Taiwan is more democratic than Canada and Germany. And a lot more than the US, but that’s not surprising.

Shared first 🥇 with real meat products.

Still rocking a higher life expectancy though, vegans got that going for them.

What do you think raping and massacring people at a music festival is going to do?

Nothing, just cause more suffering. But this isn’t a bad guy vs good guy argument. The point that’s being made is that extremism tends to be a product of its environment.

Please note that this is not an anti-Israel line of arguing.

Conditions in Gaza are terrible and many people have lost loved ones during their lives there. It creates an environment where extremism can flourish. It’s not a certainty, but the probability is just much higher in environments that are severely deprived.

The actions of Hamas are inexcusable, and Israel will surely want to bring them to justice. But after that it’s time to acknowledge that if conditions in Gaza are kept as poor as they are, the chances of this type of violence happening again are almost guaranteed. It’s also in the interest of Israel to allow and facilitate improved conditions in Gaza.

Such an enlightening argument.

I guess then it was an excellent idea to shoot up a music festival.

I am sorry you lost several loved ones. I can’t imagine what that must be like.

Hopefully, while grieving, you won’t be stuck in anger for much longer. The people that you have lost wouldn’t want children to pay the price for your country’s revenge.

Of course you want Hamas to be brought to justice, but there are many people like you and I in Gaza that are just trying to live a life free of violence. Hamas might kill indiscriminately, but they are a terrorist/radical group. A country must not sink to their level, especially a democratic one.

Nothing will make it easier for Hamas to find new recruits than large numbers of people in Gaza who are grieving their lost ones: and so the cycle of violence continues.

It’s not that far fetched. It works the other way around as well.

Israel has much more freedom to do what it pleases in terms of its illegal settlements if the other side appears violent and unreasonable. Occupying Gaza creates a breeding ground for extremists, but could be considered an acceptable status quo for Israel as it’s impossible to find broad support for Palestine if it’s associated with extremists.

I just can’t fathom how it wouldn’t also have helped Hamas’ cause by forbidding any form of sexual violence.

It would have helped their cause if it had been possible to draw comparisons between them and Israel: both kill lots of civilians. But the reports of rape and other sexual violence just makes it impossible to feel anything but disgust.

I think there are few things on the other side of the spectrum that you might have missed.

*Mumbles sometimes about books in the US*

Let’s be clear that this is Hamas though, it’s not correct to say that it’s Palestine, regardless if the actions of Hamas are supported more broadly.

Gas isn’t safe

Researchers have estimated that around 12-13% of childhood asthma cases in countries like Australia and the United States can be attributed to the use of gas stoves for cooking Source: Nationalasthma.org.au

*Stanford University researchers measured emissions for 53 stoves while on and off. *

[…]

Seventy-six percent of unburned methane leaked out through pipes and fittings when stoves were off.

[…]

A gas stove also pollutes when it is off. A 2022 study found that gas stoves, even when not in use, can leak as much benzene, a carcinogen, as secondhand cigarette smoke. Another study that analyzed natural gas samples found that 95 percent of them contained benzene, for which there is no safe level. That study also found 21 hazardous air pollutants in unburned gas, including hexane and toluene, which can affect the nervous system, liver, and kidneys.

It’s most likely a reference to their personal Lemmy server where they’ve customised the upvote button colour

As long as the work can reasonably be referred to as “helping out their parent” and you’re not getting paid for it, yup. No problem.

This is the point of the fediverse.

But users expressing their opinion about the policies of the Lemmy servers they use is part of that

How can you say Six Sigma is bullshit?

It’s literally just a method of identifying a problem, measuring and analyzing its impact, and implementing a lasting solution.

The difference between the six sigma method and traditional organizations is that:

• Six sigma gives power to experts (instead of middle managers), * It involves staff who are actually doing the work
• It tests solutions before they’re implemented
• It acknowledges that many things can’t be forced top-down by the boss

You say that probably because many components in it look like common sense.

“Duh, of course the response to a problem should be to rectify it” (simplifying slightly)

Lots of companies don’t though. Or they jump to a conclusion about the best solution. Or some middle manager decides he knows what’s best and then proceeds to break things.

It’s quite useful to have a philosophy that gives authority to non-traditional but logical steps.

I mean, that’s what people do with models and methodologies right? In my language English terms are used when using an English methodology.

Kaizen comes from Japan, was developed in Japan, and it was quite successful there. It’s not that strange to copy it word for word.

The idea behind it is quite different from what tends to happen in traditional Western companies. Since companies want to be better than their competitors and organizational change is hard, it makes sense to look for ready-made tools, rather than try to reinvent the wheel.

Of course, since (organizational) change makes many employees nervous, depending on how the organization goes about it Kaizen could get a bad name.
