So compass and straight edge is Turing complete ? Amazing !

I think there was a Japanese study that shown that pen and paper is superior in terms of memorisation even to handwriting on a tablet (in addition to the well publicised fact that handwriting is far better than typing for that too)

I wish we had more info on the subject. Definitely got me to switch back to pen and paper from my iPad, and anecdotally I think it's worked out well for me.

Eating chicken IS expensive ! It also happens to be immoral, but that's not relevant here. Vegan is cheaper unless you live in some sort of hellscape where only hyper-processed food is available.

It really depends where you live. Strawberries should be a luxury in places they don't grow locally ; I can't give a worldwide opinion on the price of strawberries.

Fruit in general should not be a luxury, but fruit from far away or fruit that require a lot of resources to grow should be.

I wish Framework had an option for a mechanical keyboard in there, although I understand that would mess up the whole rest of the design to accommodate it.

I am much more inclined to trust TeamSpeak, but personally I'd rather move personal smaller groups to Matrix, and bigger public communities to Discourse or Lemmy where they are properly indexed and searchable.

I do exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots, and beans ! (and other vegetables, fruits, and legumes)

Eating even the cheapest chicken I could find at LIDL (a little over 10€) would at least triple my food budget.

I think also Americans live in a different world pricing-wise, I have seen some people respond to me with some prices I didn't think existed.

So I guess the universe where it is expensive is called "Europe".

Honestly even if you don't give a fuck about the climate, rice and beams will feed you for less than 1€ per meal ✴️

(though you probably should "splurge" on some spices and/or sauces if you plan on eating the same thing for every meal, no matter what it happens to be)

Exactly what I though. Good luck trying to find a whole entire chicken for 6.45€ anywhere in the EU ; last time I checked LIDL, the cheapest they had was a little over 10€

I didn't know they sold it for this cheap. But does that price include taxes ? Still a little pricey IMO, but tolerable (only if taxes are included).

$13.99 is a very high price for something that gets you 2 days worth of meal tops. Maybe I'm just a cheapskate though ?

Last time I checked a whole chicken was like 10-15€ or something (and I was at a discount store, so that's a low estimate). That sounds real expensive to me, my meals only cost me around 1€ each usually. And I'm pretty sure you can't stretch a single rotisserie chicken across 10-15 meals ?

To be fair, I have never bought or eaten meat as an adult, so I have no frame of reference for its price.

Being vegan is legitimately cheap, I'm not sure why I got downvoted ? It felt like an appropriate place to bring it up, I don't often mention it online cause I know no one cares x)

My meals legit cost me less than 1€ each.
