These chemicals are different than that of non-halal chemicals

“Diatomaceous Earth (DE): Widely used as a halal-compliant cleaning agent, DE is effective in physically scrubbing and purifying surfaces. It is mixed in specific ratios with water depending on the type of utensils, equipment or area being cleaned. Natural Detergents: Plant-based detergents free from animal derivatives and alcohol are recommended for halal sanitation. These detergents should have verified halal status to ensure compliance. Non-Ethanol-Based Disinfectants: Disinfectants containing isopropyl alcohol or other permissible alcohols can be used, as they are considered mubah (permissible) in sanitation processes as long as they leave no detectable residue in the finished product.”

And procedural what OP might have been looking for when something has been contaminated but IDK the full requirements as to whether this part is truly followed since there are Halal restaurants in my part of the US, idk if they do this part:

“2.4 Sertu (Ritual Cleansing) Sertu is a ritual cleansing process used when major najis such as porcine or dog contaminants has come into contact with a product surface or equipment. This process involves washing the contaminated area seven times, with at least one wash including a mixture of water and earth, to purify the area both physically and spiritually.”

It’s cleaned with different chemicals

You’re supposed to. If they don’t they are lying to their customers. They don’t want it to touch the grills that were used for pork etc.

They have to use separate equipment for all halal foods than non-halal. They have to use special cleaning supplies that are compliant and have no non-Halal ingredients.

Looks like a junk drawer or a multi purpose drawer in any kitchen. There is often one near the sink. In some larger cabinet sets, the small drawer like that is on the end. But it varies where everyone has it. Maybe all the decent sized kitchens do.

Check out JoseMonkey’s recent TED talk about internet privacy and how easy it is for someone to find you on the Internet based even on a short video or an image. If it is that easy to find out where someone lives based on a picture and he mentions a lot of other clues people use to connect accounts from different social media, imagine what others can do.

Now multiply the amount of accounts you have on various social media, the amount that you post on there, the amount of friends and friends of friends sharing, tagging or reposting your content and possibly your information and then compare it to the vast amount of people in the world who use the internet. Now consider the amount of scammers, spammers and other bad actors plus anyone who you did not intentionally upset but just makes it a hobby of exploiting these things and using or distributing that info. That doesn’t really include sites with public record lookups. They might not steal your identity, but if they have your info they can give/sell it to someone who potentially will.

Online content is a different story. There is always the possibility, but there is no guarantee that they won’t report streaming pirated content unless you take measures such as a VPN. Even then, there still lies minimal risk.

Also, being inconspicuous is comfortable, IMO.

I don’t do group chats anymore because whatever I say gets unanswered, or replied to and buried in the conversation.

With friends we do video chat. Also seems in large group chats, there are often like 10 different parallel conversations going on and it is hard to keep track of. No one waits or treats it like an actual group discussion.

I wrote that response courtesy of this neat article I found: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/flummadiddle-bodacious-19th-century-americanisms

All women are gorgeous! There is no question.

I forgot you could do that. I had a habit of making sure I subbed before commenting. Lol.

My cats would turn the tree into a carnival attraction, lol.

Not the rose she was hoping for, lol .

Well, that’s ‘cause you came here in the middle of the conversation all catawampus actin’ all ill-willie; if we start from the beginning, only then you can see that this response is just taradiddle. Soon, you will notice that I am using these highfalutin words to just Hornswoggle ya. Now, excuse me while I absquatulate.

I have to quick blur NSFW on here when I go in public, so as to not have awkward glaring duels with strangers such as the ones that might be behind me on the bus. But in a casual setting where I have a social opportunity I just leave the Lemmy nudes on my feed unobscured. Someone goes, wtf you lookin’’ at and I am like: I don’t dictate nor direct the feeds, they direct me lol.

When I was a teen in summer camp, the girls once spied on us in the shower. We knew but they didn’t know we knew, so we put on a show. We teased them about it more than they did that year. Lol. It’s usually the other way around in movies.

“How is modern times different than you predicted or hoped it would be?”

“What changed that you wished didn’t; what hasn’t changed that you wished did change?”

No, but I would invite the idea. If someone would be THAT interested, I would gladly show them all the fckd up shit I look up and create. If they did it w/o my consent, lol for them.

Rule 12 applies in all aspects of life; not just on the Internet.

If I ever paid for a will, I have this idea that I would want all the contents of my devices, and my search history published, and a QR code put on my gravestone. But I would imagine it wouldn’t be any more unique than most others.

But eventually EVs will go down in price or should like a lot of other things as they become more popular. They shouldn’t ban sale of used ICEs though. That wouldn’t be fair. And it would make ICEs worthless. I can’t afford an EV yet but no hope to one day. If a country band ICEs the logical thing would be for EVs to go down to be affordable.

It’s more about cost efficiency. We probably won’t see the end of fossil fuels in our lifetime. The reserves are finding more and more scarce though. Plus people have told me they use solar power at home and charge their EV.
