That example sentence would function exactly the same if it was separated by a period; nothing is gained by using a semicolon. No new information is added; you are just going to make people wonder why there is a semicolon there making the sentence less comprehensible.

FTFY. You aren’t supposed to separate two independent clauses with a comma.

How come clay isn’t 100% clay?

You are completely right, and the Open Science movement is catching on. The idea is to give everyone access to the (anonymised) data and use only tools that are freely accessible, even to scientists from developing countries without Microsoft licenses, so that they too can rerun your analyses and verify your results. You shouldn’t be getting downvoted.

If you own a name, you can grant anyone you want permission to use that name. It’s not illegal.

Remember

I am not that old, please.

What separates us from the reptiles is that we can get our body temperature UP by burning calories. If you run hot, you can only passively cool down by sweating lots or walking around naked, I guess. If you aren’t sweating lots, you aren’t losing significant excess heat. But the actual point of the OP is that many people who are even only 40 lb overweight already eat in excess of 150 kcal, never mind 50. If this is how ketosis works, they wouldn’t run super hot, but they would also never get to a normal weight. Also, you can achieve the same effect by exercising or even just drinking cold water. Think about how many people got thin by doing this.

BTW, when you drink tea etc, your body reduces heat production to compensate.

Which is bullshit because they are not running a fever, which would be extremely unhealthy anyway.

If this was true, your body temperature would just sky rocket.

Why is Arch with i3wm the only alternative to Windows? There are many other distros and desktop environments.

Which is funny because the original comment doesn’t mention Linux or Arch at all.

Not sure about this. When I installed Firefox, it asked me if I allowed it to collect data and run studies (I answered yes). Also, as far as I remember, I never changed the Marketing Data setting and it was off.

I am upvoting you for being an honest money-grubber.

Brazilian. I only take one shower/day unless it’s very hot, then it’s two. I don’t think I ever took three showers/day. But bear in mind that the climate is very different depending on where you live in Brazil.

Right. ‘Lasagna’ in particular is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced in Italian.

TahtyUHny FYI. It’s a weird spelling of a common Brazilian/Portuguese name. The usual spelling is Tatiane.

I think many people don’t understand this is the entire point of being on Lemmy. They just want Reddit without ads, but without FOSS we would sooner or later become Reddit. So of course we are going to care about FOSS.

It’s the same with people who use Linux but say they don’t care about FOSS. Linux is Linux because it’s FOSS. Otherwise it would just be Chrome OS or Android.

I mean, Lemmy itself is FOSS, and the vast majority of instances are running on Linux. The main reason I am here and not on Reddit is that Lemmy is FOSS.

Carl Sagan - A Demon-Haunted World. Explains the key difference between a scientific vs religious mindset.

Geez, people. Feminine magazines have always been like this. Everyone knows that we women are incapable of caring about or understanding anything except clothes, diets, and home decor, so we must appeal to these interests rather than talking about this difficult boring stuff like writers’ strike. What exactly do these writers do anyway? Why are they striking rather than writing? It sounds boring. Please tell me more about Margot’s outfit, which I will wear after losing 50lb.
