Not strictly cooling the apartment, but I keep a large supply of ice cold water ready to drink whenever I start to get too warm—if you can effectively cool yourself throughout the day, it raises the maximum comfortable temperature of the apartment as a whole, and it’s usually easier to cool a single body than a large volume of air.

This may come off as rude, but I ask out of genuine curiosity: why would you think this is a good idea?

Professional athletes also have some of the strongest unions in the country, since they’re a small group of practically irreplaceable workers, and many of the league structures are the result of collective bargaining between players and owners.

It’s FOSS and decentralized/supports self hosting, plus has a large following in fediverse circles so it gets colloquially lumped in

Mlem also supports keyword filters

Those are arguably the most “made for humans” languages—they’re made to make humans laugh and/or headbutt a railroad spike in frustration

I stand all day. When I first switched I alternated when my legs got tired, but that only lasted a couple days.

Pure anecdote, but as someone with a long, shitty back, I definitely noticed a marked improvement in how my back felt when I switched to a standing desk.

As with any public forum, by putting content on Lemmy you make it available to the world at large to do basically whatever they want with. I don’t like AI scrapers in general, but I can’t reasonably take issue with this.

Sekiro, and nothing else has ever come close. It’s so smooth and so fast that I drop into the flow state with no trouble at all.

It’s sure looking that way, though the Guardians aren’t in too deep a hole to climb back out. It’s hardly surprising we see those two so often–they’re huge market teams with a front office that’s willing to shell out what it takes to field a contender basically every season.

Personally I’d love to see a salary floor and a more aggressive luxury tax so that we get a more even field, but that’s probably unlikely given the inevitable pushback from both owners and players, respectively.

It’s been steadily overrun by bots, and I guess the community hit a breaking point

The “but framing is an art” argument has never made sense to me. The job of calling balls and strikes is already too hard for even an excellent umpire to do perfectly; the notion that we should reward players for trying to make it harder is lunacy. Every rules change forces players to adapt, and benefits some while hurting others.

It’s never a good look when the story changes this much. Something’s definitely being covered up.

I’m actually pretty happy with this trade. Three pitching prospects isn’t the flashy-splashy sort of headline we’re thirsty for, but it suggests that Breslow is looking to build long-term pitching depth rather than spend together a fleeting juggernaut. Plus, not signing a big name in return for Dugie frees up $9mil that can theoretically be put towards the pipe dream player of your choice.
