Berries like raspberries blackberries blueberries and even strawberries don't have lots of sugar, maybe 5g per 100g. That's one level teaspoon.

The lactose in milk is almost all consumed in the fermentation process, so maybe a few more grams per 100.

The rest of the sugar in those glasses is just sugar manufacturers include to make their product more appealing.

One of the problems with sugar is that it represents empty calories.

Given my age, weight, and activity levels maybe I need x calories per day, any more and I'll gain weight. I also need protein and fibre and micronutrients. As you get older (like me) you get less good at extracting nutrients.

The challenge is, getting enough nutrients in few enough calories to avoid gaining weight.

In this context sugar is just dead weight.

I was going to say there's a lot of variation within brands.

Most yoghurts have a "greek" variant with about 5g per 100g carbohydrates.

Honey is more or less flavoured sugar IMO.

Berries are a great combo with yoghurt, also chopped nuts.

I think you might be talking about vote fuzzing. This denies bots the ability to check whether they're banned.

I don't really understand what you're getting at.

People often downvote without posting a comment as explanation.

I've noticed lemmy users do this more than reddit.

The explanation is simply that they don't like the vibe of what you're saying but don't know how to respond.

TIL I guess.

I'm concerned that using the correct form will make me look like an idiot though.

Ah OK, that makes a lot of sense.

Somewhat related is iron man. The suit can't protect him from g-forces. He would just be pulpy human goo in a can.

That said, I feel silly pointing out anything to do with super hero's because they're not intended to be realistic.

I think projectiles often push other crap in to the wound, like bits of clothing et cetera.

I learned this from movies so it must be true.

Just several years ago I was shocked to learn that you do CPR if someone doesn't have a pulse, not a defibrillator.

It's a very, very common misconception.

Since then those portable defibrillator units have shown up in public places, which has led me to morbidly wonder two things:

Firstly, how often are they used incorrectly?

And secondly, how do you know when you're supposed to use it? I suspect the answer to this one is "the EMT on the phone will tell you to" but... IDK it would seem unlikely that most people could do something like that in an emergency.

I guess in the before times when a computer updated a monitor it was probably important.

Oh man. That really sucks.

I really liked this series until a few moments ago.

That woman has been through a truly harrowing experience in her 20s and they've just dumped on her again.

It's like you didn't read my comment.

 

A global episode of heat-related coral bleaching has grown to the largest on record, US authorities said Friday, sparking worry for the health of key marine ecosystems.

From the beginning of 2023 through October 10, 2024, "roughly 77 percent of the world's reef area has experienced bleaching-level heat stress," Derek Manzello of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) told AFP.

When ocean water is too warm—such as during heat waves which have hit areas from Florida to Australia in the past year—coral expel their algae and turn white, an effect called "bleaching" that leaves them exposed to disease and at risk of dying off.

 

Netflix is starting to raise prices in some countries as growth spurred by its crackdown on password sharing starts to fade.

The film and TV streaming giant said it had already lifted subscription fees in Japan and parts of Europe as well as the Middle East and Africa over the last month.

Changes in Italy and Spain are now being rolled-out.

In its latest results, Netflix announced that it had added 5.1 million subscribers between July and September - ahead of forecasts but the smallest gain in more than a year.

 

A highly anticipated museum housing the world's largest collection of ancient Egyptian artefacts has opened the doors to some of its galleries.

More than 20 years in the making, the sprawling 120-acre Grand Egyptian Museum near the pyramids of Giza, will showcase more than 100,000 objects, including treasures from the tomb of King Tutankhamun.

 

Google has signed a deal to use small nuclear reactors to generate the vast amounts of energy needed to power its artificial intelligence (AI) data centres.The company says the agreement with Kairos Power will see it start using the first reactor this decade and bring more online by 2035.

 

The remains believed to belong to Andrew Comyn “Sandy” Irvine, who disappeared alongside George Mallory in 1924 while attempting to conquer the world’s highest peak, have likely been found. The discovery was made by a National Geographic team during the filming of a documentary, reigniting discussions about whether the duo managed to reach the summit before their deaths.

 

That command prompt.

 

Just wondered how others promote threat awareness for friends, family, co-workers, and clients.

Every few weeks I email a half dozen employees & family members explaining one or other phishing attempt I've seen, just to keep it in peoples minds.

I heard someone else talking about a kind of email pen-testing service you can sign up for and they send scammy emails to see if the recipient falls for it. Seems like a great idea but only viable for me if it's very cheap.

I could link to something on privacyguides.org in my email footer but I think that's just virtue signalling more than anything actually useful.
