  • 100k/12≈8k, including taxes, after taxes idk depends where you live. My rent is the majority of my income, and I make much less than that, so the absolute amount of money I have after paying for things like rent and utilities, to spend on food, is much less too, even if we assume the same % of income going to rent. Again I’m not saying things aren’t more expensive in the US, but it is still a lot of money. You aren’t going to be struggling financially. My friends in the US make much less than that. Maybe you’d be less well-off than peers who do the same job, but I hope you realise that for a lot of people elsewhere in the world, that’d be 3 salaries already.










  • Ah ok, sorry I read that as correcting me and got confused. But yes, you are right, it is a fingerprint, the point is to just share as much of your fingerprint as possible with other users to make it hard to differentiate you.

    My comment was about how the OP website has a line that claims that the reported timezone/language is the “truth” rather than my IP address, and I was just pointing out that that wasn’t the case.



  • A small point but it assumes that your browser’s self-declared timezone is “true” to where you live. My timezone is spoofed to UTC+0; my VPN server is in a different country; and my browser language is set to en-us. I feel like if you see a user whose settings are all of the above then you can assume that none of those three data points actually describe the user, unless they coincidentally are a US English speaker or live in UTC+0, but that’d just be them coincidentally living where anti-fingerprinting browsers report you as.


  • That stew does sound rather plain. I’d add stuff like leeks and also just more vegetables of your choosing. A mirepoix, spinach, kale, peas, whatever vegetables you like. I’d also add some stock cubes. I don’t think ground meat makes very good stock, so it would benefit from stock cubes/powder. It’s just cheaper to bulk things out with vegetables and carbs.

    As for making you feel full for longer, generally fat makes you feel full for longer, so you could try getting ground meat with higher % fat (sticking to your ingredients) or just adding maybe some olive oil or butter to the stew. It is extra calories which I guess might make you gain weight, but calories are energy and excess energy becomes fat (stored energy), so your two stated goals of not gaining weight and having enough energy are at odds—not irreconcilable, but it’d be a balancing act.
