notdang··on Ozempic is changing the foods Americans buy
https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/...

Here are some first steps:

Earlier this year, Conagra started labeling some of its Healthy Choice frozen meals with high protein and fiber as "GLP-1 friendly." A spokesperson said those meals are selling faster than rival products making similar claims on their packaging. The company plans to introduce new Healthy Choice recipes with the same labeling in May and work with grocers like Walmart (WMT.O), and Kroger (KR.N), to market them, the spokesperson said.

Nestle, the world's biggest food company, has also introduced new frozen meals that cater specifically to GLP-1 users, called Vital Pursuit.

Fast-casual Mexican chain Chipotle (CMG.N),on Tuesday added a "High Protein Menu" that features, among other items, a single cup of chicken or steak.

Try ultra running for at least 10 hours. You run out of things to think about, plus you are so tired that you cannot concentrate for long on the same subject.

After some struggle you will enter into a weird state that I think should be similar to what they achieve through meditation.

notdang··on Why won't some people pay for news? (2022)
Good luck looking for data and ignoring news when you country and worse, the region where you live is being invaded by the neighbor and you need to make an informed decision to stay or to leave.
notdang··on The ancient art of roasting agave
> In English, it means specifically an earth oven because when English speakers started using the word, they always used it to mean that kind of oven.

Sorry, I was not aware of this. Can you point me to another source, besides this video, that mentions the usage of "horno" as an earth oven?

notdang··on The ancient art of roasting agave
I agree with the salsa-sauce.

But why horno-oven? Horno is oven in Spanish and just in one video someone mistranslated horno to "earth oven".

All the people besides all those 1.5k that saw the video will use the "horno" as "oven".

notdang··on The ancient art of roasting agave
there is no horno oven. Horno means oven in Spanish. It's like saying "salsa sauce".

All my childhood I was eating wild picked mushrooms prepared in various ways, they were delicious and I don't remember any digestion problems.
notdang··on Webb captures iconic Horsehead Nebula in unprecedented detail
Once in a while, I have the impulse to buy the equipment to make these kinds of photos, then I check the price (at least 4k USD), realize I am not from US and cool down tell next time.

It's consumer level, but not cheap at all.

notdang··on A day in the life of a Walmart manager
That was a trap, she, as a boss gave 2 options for the answer: "easter or summer toys" then she proceeded with the 3rd option: eclipse.

That gives bad vibes.

notdang··on H-1B visa fraud alive and well amid anti-abuse efforts
It seems that you didn't read the article. I'll help you with the fraud part:

> When I was at USCIS," explained Law, "you would have registrations or petitions with very common names. The belief from some of the fraud folks was that some of the common names were inserted in there and then these businesses, after they won the lottery, would then go out and actually find somebody [with that name] as opposed to having a real candidate in place."

> One form of H-1B fraud involves companies colluding to file multiple petitions on behalf of the same foreign worker. This serves to give the IT consultancies involved in trying to bring this worker to the US a greater chance of having their applicant selected, and of collecting a commission. As above, that's supposed to be more difficult under the new system.

notdang··on Why are there suddenly so many car washes?
So how do you clean them with this scheme? By registering a game on Steam or selling something on Amazon?

Also made me think why in the country I live, in stores like 7Eleven you cannot pay with a credit card for gift cards, google pay cards, etc.

notdang··on Billions stolen in wage theft from US workers
It might be funny, but in Mexico it's done differently.

There are Whatsapp groups of HRs working in a particular group (tech, construction, etc.) where they communicate. Obviously they don't discuss the names openly but they do ask if someone is willing to give feedback on a candidate that worked at XY.

notdang··on With 1 Sentence, Patagonia Just Gave a Masterclass on How to Treat Your People
They also don't want to be associated with the finance bros:

Patagonia has said it will no longer market merchandise to financial firms through its corporate sales program -- a potential threat to the popular menswear look dubbed the "Midtown uniform"

Yes, I am outside of US and it could not send the verification message to the short number.
notdang··on Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android
Trying to use this an I am stuck at the AppleID login screen (I don't have an AppleID).

However from your message it seems that it should not be required:

>No Apple ID is required

notdang··on An architect has found a way to build flood-proof homes
> The bamboo homes, which combine mud and limestone facades with inner bamboo skeletons or bamboo roofs, are designed to be copied and pasted across Pakistan

Aren't this common all over the world? In Eastern Europe the bamboo is just replaced with tree branches.

Why it has to be copied and why the villagers have to be trained to build them since everyone knows how to build them for at least a couple of thousands of years? (I participated in building two).

notdang··on Making it clear when we're on a call with you to protect you from fraud
It's worse, they call you, while in the same time they try to log in your account, only the 2FA number is missing. So they try to make you dictate the number so they can log in your account.

P.S. I don't know how Chase login happens, not a Chase customer.

notdang··on Show HN: MecSimCalc – a Streamlit alternative, but for computational apps
I use Streamlit and I usually run the app on my laptop for development.

Is there are way to do it in MecSimCalc? I looked through the site and could not find it. If it's not possible then I don't see how it's an alternative to Strimlit.

notdang··on UK airport confiscates passenger's Flipper Zero
Apparently the owner decided to make jokes in an airport:

> Domingos said that he was initially asked by security if he knew what the device did. The technologist replied by stating that the Flipper Zero is capable of, among other things, scanning and copying badge cards such as those used by the airport’s security personnel.

> “If I can copy your badges, then you might want to fix that before banning a legal device,” Domingo reportedly said.

notdang··on Pulled from a Field in Albania, a 2,500-Year-Old Statuette Comes to Getty
> the archaeologists observed a local farmer plowing his field nearby. They figured it was worth paying close attention to, since stray finds are always a possibility. You never know what can be found near the top layers of soil. Sure enough, as the farmer plowed the field after the season’s onion harvest, the archaeologists witnessed the statuette coming up from no more than 15 inches below the surface.

Interesting how it went on and how the archeologists tracked the farmer for so long. I hope that the farmer was treated fairly.

notdang··on Color Photos of Stalin-Era Soviet Union Taken by a US diplomat
It's a basic ice cream without any artificially added flavors, even without the vanilla flavor. It's dense and soft.

The special part for me is that it's basic, vanilla how it's called in the US, but even without vanilla. However it's hard to explain to someone who grew with all the ice cream having some sort of added flavour.
