That does seem high. I am in a 2 person apartment and this month on average we have used 24 kWh/day (heaters on most days). I have a couple servers and networking equipment, and I game a lot on a beefy PC. I also cook almost every meal I eat on our electric stove. We are all electric here except for water heater. Granted we are an apartment, but less natural gas usage/more electric.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever hit 80 kWh in one day here. Our highest usage day this year was 50 kWh in March.

When we rented a house, I’m not sure what the exact wattage usage was, but we were paying a lot just to heat the place because it was so big, even with our thermostat uncomfortably low.

It’s right next to the -POMIER LED-+ in the manual, duh.

I was moreso referring to confinement to a small dirty space (see above), the mutilation of baby animals without anesthetic, the live maceration of baby male chicks in the egg industry, the mass breeding and conveyor belt murder of millions of sentient beings, the selective breeding that has caused a few week old broiler chicken to be equivalent to a 300 lb human toddler, etc etc.

That’s how it’s been for quite some time

Can confirm.

I had a minor medial meniscus tear. One surgery (small trim, not repair) and almost 2 years of post-surgery PT later and my pain is finally on a path of improvement. My ability to walk long distances was very limited, but finally it’s back. I am in my late 20s.

Only real corn wanchers know

Employed X-ray tech here, this is mostly accurate, but most relevant academic bodies, in the US at least, actually recommend not shielding patients anymore, since it usually leads to slightly higher doses depending on the particular exam.

Collimation of the beam is sufficient to reduce dose with modern equipment.

That being said, when the patient is being X-rayed, such as in surgery, the primary source of radiation for everyone else is the patient. Since that cannot be collimated, lead aprons should be worn, and should be facing the source of radiation (i.e., don’t turn your back when the beam is on, or wear a full wrap lead apron). Even that being said, the amount of radiation is low for almost everything except CT scans and IR (heart cath/embolization etc) cases.

Yeah, and the Wendy’s might as well serve the flesh of the slaughtered horses as well.

Dismissing serious, actual life or death concerns with statements like “sir this is a Wendy’s” only serve to further silence a group of individuals suffering without a voice.

When I initially commented on this, literally none of the 20+ comments acknowledged the horrible reality the horse in the photo is/was forced to endure.

If I posted a photo of a starving child with a funny name and everyone was simply laughing at the meme, would you say nothing?

While everybody is laughing at the meme, hundreds (if not thousands) of horses are killed every year simply because they cannot race or are not profitable, many as young as two years old. https://horseracingwrongs.org/

To mention nothing of other cruel practices, among these forced separation from their mothers, nose chains, blinders, whips, over breeding, etc.

Breeding these animals is not funny, it is not a joke, and these breeders are awful people.

Claiming we’re overpopulated is literally ecofascist rhetoric. By what metric are we overpopulated? Using too much land and resources?

Did you know if everyone went vegan, the space used for farmland (which accounts for a large portion of “human” space) could be reduced by as much as 75%? (https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets)

Granted, the whole world will not turn vegan, but I don’t think we’ll start culling people either. There are many, many things we could do to reduce resource usage (or other overpopulation metric) that would have minimal or no impact on us as a species.

Consider also that populations of “wealthy” countries tend to slow in growth, plateau, or even shrink over time (see Japan).

I do agree overpopulation is not sufficient justification for culling any species.

100%. The tortoise can’t win if the hare kills him before the race has even started.
