Canadian photographer Francois Brunell searches and photographs similar people, but who are not related to each other. He has currently done about 200 couple portraits.

Canadian photographer Francois Brunelle spent 12 years tracking down real life Doppelgängers — two individuals who are not related but could pass for identical twins — and photographing them. He calls his project “I’m Not a Look-Alike,” and it’s starting to get some well-deserved attention....

He’s not your friend, pal.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Oh hey, I’m from Schleswig-Holstein! That’s neat! I mean libre office looks like shit (they probably never saw a UX designer and high DPI scaling has been broken since like forever) but at least its not Microsoft. And if its functionally the same, why not? So yeah, good news!

Good to know, maybe it’s just the port then and their website (shudders) has been a year or so since I tried it. Yeah, I think it’s a good move and if it convinces other States even better.

Marmite is too salty for me on bread. However I love it as an ingredient for sauces, soups etc. great umami flavour.

Someone let the door open, but after finding out still has no intention of closing it.

I just had to look it up, you guys really don’t have it easy with your measurements. Miles, Yard, foot, inch and nothing matches up.

Came across this a couple of days ago in a German Newspaper (paywall bypass), I found this a bit strange:

»Good data basis - but not for this question

Prof. Dr. Tilman Kühn, Professor of Public Health Nutrition at the University of Vienna, comments: “The NHANES study, which the authors used, is very good in principle - but unfortunately it does not record interval fasting.” The pure time data for food intake on individual days, as recorded there, is only suitable for assessing the effects of intermittent fasting to a very limited extent.

The study could therefore not show that intermittent fasting increases the risk of death. “The results of the study only show that people who ate their meals within less than eight hours on two randomly selected days had a higher risk of dying from a cardiovascular cause. However, intentional intermittent fasting was not investigated in the study.”

Why people only ate within eight hours on these selected days remains completely unclear. It could, for example, be because they were so unwell that they could no longer eat. In this case, the disease itself could also increase the risk of death.«

Translated with DeepL

For me intermittent fasting always worked great, but diets are all very subjective I guess and without a bit of excercise… ¯*(ツ)*/¯

Edit: Arm surgery

Thanks, I think the surgery was successful!

I see. But 30 dollars in change are heavy and impractical to carry around. Even if it’s the same value, I’d have to prefer the Bills. My wife is rather petite and has to carry around a lot of change and says it’s tiresome at times.

I won’t get any bonus points but maybe a little 2D platformer? I made this tiny prototype with Godot a while ago, but didn’t have time/stamina to continue. Maybe thats something for you? The Idea was that you are a space explorer and you send tiny robot drones on planet surfaces to find and mark resources. You then sell the coordinates to some shitty megacorp and buy upgrades for your robo Buddys. Your robots have to survive against the elements, anomalies and possibly alien creatures. If you run out of robots, it’s game over. Maybe I’ll come back to it sometime.

A Middleaged man is like 38, so a Millennial? This looks more like a typical Boomer selfie.

TalesFromTheKitchen,
@TalesFromTheKitchen@lemmy.ml avatar

I just checked, in the US it is 73 years, Europe it’s 77. I just eyeballed it, but yeah, I’m almost a middleaged man now. Crazy.

That one is cool and the one of Half-Life by quadrazid (segmented but still amazing)

I’m pretty sure there is some northern country that has candied pine cones sold in jars. Like small ones. I have a bottle of alpine pine liqueur (Zirbenlikör) which tastes pretty nice. So this is a maybe, I guess? Well, not the big ones, they might be too crunchy.

There is a tampermonkey script. Not sure if it still works.

When buying perfume I pick the unisex ones, because most men’s perfume smells like toilet duck. Also I like smelling like flowers or honey and smoked vanilla.

TalesFromTheKitchen,
@TalesFromTheKitchen@lemmy.ml avatar

Ah, yes, toilet cleaner, thought it was universal, seems to be a European(?) thing.

I wrote it here some time ago. Tried Linux Mint with the intention of finally switching from windows on my notebook. Bricked one partition that I forgot I had set to dynamic, Headphone jacks didn’t work even after fiddling around with arcane parameters in the cli. If you mainly need the command line to set your system up and stuff doesn’t work out of the box people don’t have the nerve to switch and learn all that. Love Linux, great on steamdeck, have a couple of Virtual Machines to play around with on my old Poweredge server but it’s not ready for me, the average user. That and I’ve to use windows for my cad work at my job anyways. I’ll take the downvotes but you’ll have to realize you are tech savvy people who have fun learning all that. Most people don’t.

Just plain old regular Mint.

Love lentils! Is that a splash of balsamic vinegar, I see? That takes it from great to amazing.

Thanks! yes, all recipe books. The old ones are two German late 19th and early 20th century books and the one on the far right is a British cook-/household book from 1807.

Oh, that’s a hard one. It really depends on what you want to learn. While I can recommend each and every of the smaller Teubner books, they can be quite pricey since the new edition is not as good as the older ones (on the upper shelve). However, the big Teubner “Deutsche Küche” and "Küchenpraxis (lowest shelve) are wonderful too, and you can get them relatively inexpensive on eBay. If I had to choose just one, I’d go with “Küchenpraxis” since it’s the most comprehensive for Wares, Produce, Procedures and an assortment of recipes.
