California king is smaller than a regular king actually! Alaska king is bigger though

I’ve been in one car accident in my life (my fault) and it shook me up, I remember searching “how long until self driving cars.” But I got over it, next day I was back behind the wheel. As other people have said, it’s a necessary life skill for most people in North America and it does get much easier with experience and time.

I get that in a perfect society you shouldn’t need to learn to drive, but that ignores the fact that if you want to be able to function in society most people in NA need to be able to drive (unless you live in one of the handful of cities with excellent mass transit). It’s a bit like saying nobody should be forced to work for a living and then being homeless.

Can you actually get a degree in rocket science? I feel like the closest would be aerospace engineering.

Nope, the “No” campaign (keeping ranked choice voting) outspent the campaign to repeal ranked choice voting by 100:1, largely with out of state money.

That’s not what he said? He just said she was careless.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s also just tricky because sports fans tend to want to follow discussion of their team, which splits for example the soccer/football community into hundreds of sub-communities. I used to follow r/panthers (I am a long suffering charlotte home team supporter) but such a community doesn’t exist on lemmy. Similarly, you don’t really see active individual video game communities on lemmy even though that is more up the alley of the average lemmy user.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah I found that to be pretty annoying as well when I started. I don’t mind the occasional political post but it’s the same handful of talking points again and again so it gets old fast. I recommend just blocking users and blocking communities; you’d be surprised how quickly that clears them out. Lemmy is small enough that once you block a dozen or two people that post politics nonstop you give the other content room to breathe.

I’d just like to comment that 10-15 minutes of penetration is a very normal number, and probably a bit above average actually.
I do have one tip for you as a guy, which is, try to have sex in the morning. I always find that I last longer then. I read once that women’s hormone levels peak earlier in the day than men, so maybe that’s why.

Well, I mean convincing to the public at large. Yeah I know I guy, otherwise perfectly smart, that is convinced that aliens are real based on the cheesiest, most obviously faked videos from back in the 80s or whatever.

- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 2 months ago:
Yeah there are still several stages of clinical trials before this gets to market. Here’s hoping though!
- Comment on Birth control: US scientists develop world’s 1st male contraceptive pill 2 months ago:
I’m not an expert, but looking at the research paper this is just blocking one one particular vitamin a receptor, so most functions of vitamin A would not be affected. Once concern is that this particular receptor (RAR-alpha) is partially responsible for neutrophil production, although they didn’t notice any changes in animal tests, possibly because those receptors are tucked away inside your bone marrow. Still could be a concern with long term use though…

As a longtime donor of the project, last I checked there were still concerns about the reversability of the project.
- Comment on Good to exercise at home instead of gym? 2 months ago:
Go for it dude. I’ve been working out ny whole life and have never paid for a gym membership (I used the gym at college, then at my various apartments, and then when I got a house I set up a home gym). You can get an awesome workout in with nothing more than some free weights, a bench and a little creativity. You mention being a “total novice,” but I feel like most people that go to a gym are working out on their own anyways so unless you’re thinking of getting a personal trainer there’s really not much difference. If you have any questions about form just take a look on YouTube.
The other factor is, what will motivate you to exercise more? For me, it’s the convenience of knowing i can just walk into a room in my house and work out. Whereas I know some people that are more motivated by group exercise classes. So you’ll have to figure that out yourself.
- Comment on You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use. 2 months ago:
I have good vision but I actually really like this font since i have a smaller phone screen! Anyone know how to install it on an Android phone?

Man what am I doing wrong? Still nothing from her. Oh well. She’s probably too good for me anyways :,(
- Comment on Sun God 3 months ago:
It’s very hard to convey the size of the sun in a photo. On earth, it isn’t bigger than the moon. I don’t think I’ve ever seen, in a real photo, just how massive the sun is. I absolutely dwarfs a planet, which is kind of chilling. I’ve never seen a photo that shows anything further away from the camera than a planet AND that much bigger.

How did FDR feel about gay rights? Economically he was to the left but socially he was way to the right. Sanders, sure, but I meant in a general election.

I only use bluesky to follow a couple of ukraine war news accounts. It’s very good for that purpose. I don’t interact at all or read comments, twitter was always an absolute cesspool and I assume bkuesky is as well, or will be if it ever replaces twitter

- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 7 months ago:
Well, it’s gender neutral, neither party can (legally) change their name after marriage. That seems weird to me. Let people do what they want.
- Comment on Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? 7 months ago:
Hmm but what do you do if your name is already hyphenated? You can’t just keep bolting names together so that’s not a solution for more than one generation.
