There's different frequencies for different clothing items though:

  • Socks, underwear, sports kit: Daily
  • Dress shirts: Every two days
  • T-shirts: Every 3 days
  • Shorts, jeans, chinos, gloves: Weekly to fortnightly or when they get dirty
  • Trainers, beanie hats: Every few months
  • Leather shoes, caps, formal hats:

Different parts of the body produce different levels of sweat, different materials pick it up at different rates. If you're washing all your clothes at the same frequency you're either a clean freak who's apparently fine with wearing socks that very clearly need washing after a day's use but not with wearing other things which are pretty much clean, or you're just wearing out your clothes way faster than you need to

-30C is a normal temperature in many countries, doesn't make it any less miserable

Why do supermarkets stupidly pay rent in Manhattan, London, LA or Singapore when they could pay next to nothing to have a store in the Outback or Siberia?

I had to call the electricity company to resolve a fucking clusterfuck of their making the other day (long story short my electricity meter is faulty), and after 3-4 calls I got to someone who said "jesus christ" after I explained my situation and how they'd made it worse trying to resolve it...

She didn't fix it, it's still not fully fixed after a further 4 days including 29 hours without power, but gee did I feel like I was speaking to a fellow human who was trying to help in that conversation above all others I had with them

If at least 1 person in the room of 400 is shot per day they'd be dead in just over a year...

Last I checked the population of the US wasn't plummeting, so what else is wrong here?

Green peppers are unripe and so the seeds generally don't grow into anything

Critical support for every coup in Africa

Hurr durr Western imperialism bad Russian imperialism good

Why don't we get France (a democracy) to pressure their leaders to set up free and fair elections then get the fuck out after they're done (simplifying things here as it's a slow process to not create a power vacuum) rather than supporting a like-for-like swap of France for Russia or Chinese control of the country through debt?

I'm not against the premise of the post, just the caption which reads like mindless Russophilia

As much as Meta shouldn't be relied on for news, Canada creating legislation which stops Meta showing news then crying when Meta doesn't show news is frankly laughable and I don't know how their government didn't see it coming

Have you ever used either?

To say they're reversed is pushing it as I'm not sure gnome is at the level of the low poly lara yet

CO2 is 72.7% oxygen by weight, and 27.3% carbon. 2kg is 28.5% of 7kg, so with rounding it works out even if that is assuming that the coal has no impurities - it may be closer to 6kg but essentially it takes oxygen from the air and adds it to the carbon in the coal to form CO2

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
