  • So even lactose free milk makes me queasy, not the first time but if I drink it every day for a few days (e.g with cereal or in a shake)

    Both oat milk and pea protein milk gave me weird intestinal cramps after a few weeks of drinking them.

    I really dislike the taste of soy milk. (I don’t mind tofu, but to me it’s weird in coffee or cereal)

    So I’ve settled on unsweetened vanilla almond milk. It’s the local store brand.













  • The $ revenue share to creators per video view has dropped, even though the percentage of Google’s ad revenue shared with the creator has remained the same. So to me this means Google is earning less per video view. (That could also be just a result of the ad market in general collapsing, eg advertisers just pay less)

    Also, Google has added new requirements to get the video share. You need to post new videos at a regular cadence, or they kick you out–even if your old videos are still getting views. (began being enforced in 2023, I think). Its another way they can keep their revenue numbers looking OK by cutting a cost associated with older videos.

    Google has also escalated their efforts to make it more difficult to view content without also viewing the ads.

    So maybe its wishful thinking, but I think they are feeling the squeeze.

    Unfortunately unlike the reddit or twitter situations its significantly harder to accumulate enough fresh video content to attract the views necessary to get the ball rolling and make a shift away from YouTube.




  • Amazons “genius” packing bots will throw a tiny fragile thing with a medium size heavy thing in a box 16x too big along with a shred of packing material.

    Can’t wait to have that same “genius” applied to the actual delivery itself.

    Seriously, I make maybe 5 or 6 Amazon purchases per year. I would say at least 50% of those disappoint in some way: the item was misleadingly listed, or it was damaged in shipping, or it doesn’t arrive when the promised. I really don’t find it convenient at all.
