This is also the case for the German version I player, funny.

his ability to hold a 3D image in his mind, tweak and rotate it, and then put it on paper, is something innate.
This is coincidentally a symptom of dyslexia, so you are right to think of it as something innate, unfortunately. It’s also why so many architects are dyslexic.
- Comment on The Projected Truth 2 weeks ago:
It’s more recent idealogy, namely postmodernism. They genuinely deny the existence of universals in all respects. But I am yet to see a legitimate (philosophical) argument supporting that 🤷 seems more like a pop culture thing than real philosophy.

The best for privacy are definitely mullvad and proton vpn. Nordvpn is the best for p2p/pirating (…not that I condone that…), but not as solid privacy wise. I know that nord and proton have excellent Linux support, idk about mullvad in that respect though.
Honestly though, if you’re just doing this for privacy concerns you might as well just use something like quad9 DNS – for free. VPNs are only really useful faking you’re location or pirating. Not so much for privacy or security. Quad9 + librewolf is king there.
- Comment on How men are different than women 3 weeks ago:
It’s my authentic self in both of those situations. Like I said, they are different kinds of friendships, but they are of equal integrity and value to me. I think you fail to understand that people can have very real and ernest friendships that are different from your presuppositions around friendship.
Reflecting on this, though, makes me realize that I don’t really switch gears. I tend to not talk about myself that much anyway (I also have a therapist, which may contribute to my not feeling like I need to), and when I’m with friends who do, I mostly listen. But I don’t think that diminishes the friendship. One doesn’t need to know my familial history to be my friend.
For me, anyway, a feeling of compassion towards the other, the capability of empathy, and a genuine understanding of their personality is what it takes to be friends :)
- Comment on How men are different than women 3 weeks ago:
Why? When I am with a gal friend a kinda switch gears, but I also have many wonderful guy friendships that are very much like what’s described above. There’s nothing bad about that. It’s just different. But I would trust them with my life and I know they would trust me with theirs.

I have the same issue. Fried some tofu a few days ago with a ghost pepper coating, and wow – I had the evacuate the kitchen for half an hour!

Probably just a front for laundering drug money.
It’s crazy how much this happens, two super popular restaurants near me were busted for precisely this. Big police raids and everything, that even had semiautomatic rifles…

This happened to me recently. Tried a Vietnamese place that is literally twice as expensive as my usual Vietnamese place, and it was much, much worse. Sad times. I’m also a total food snob though

- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 2 months ago:
While it may have used machine learning, it was definitely not in the ‘slop’ category. I generally think of slop as things with some kind of creative or human element (like the enhancements from DLSS 5), but FSR and earlier DLSS used machine learning to replace anti-aliasing like MSAA, etc., through super-sampling and temporal technologies (frame gen kinda sucked though). So, to answer your hopefully literal question, DLSS has, in the past, not been a AI slop filter.

Well, I can recommend a desk record player, lol. I use the length of my desk-records (e.g., obscure 1€ techno finds) as a pomodoro timer, so I know when to take a break. Actually quite nice, though a little ridiculous as well.

That is 100% fair. I just wanted to add my two cents. But you’re right, regional high cuisine, especially French, is a different league. I don’t necessarily think that league is superior, but it is a different class within haute cuisine.
- Comment on I want that setup. 3 months ago:
Damn, that is a much more reasonable explanation than I expected. Your life seems much more multi-tasky than mine, but I still kinda want an additional monitor now somehow; you’ve converted me, lol. I 100% get wanting a separate screen for meetings, especially, and the prompter solution sounds great. Maybe it is overkill, but if overkill is the best solution, and you can afford it, I would go for it.
- Comment on I want that setup. 3 months ago:
I only have space for one monitor, because the rest of my (large) desk if crammed with speakers, amplifiers, DACs, a record player, vacuum tube phono, and midi controllers. Someday I’ll get a super sized desk that has space for two monitors. Four is crazy though

- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 3 months ago:
This depends. In my experience anything processed tastes horrible because of chemical and sugar overload. But you can get great ingredients! Much better than here in Germany anyway.
And there are many more diverse great restaurants than in most places in Germany, ngl. In the US, you can go to any small town and find a great homemade style Korean place, or something like that. No such luck in Germany, they’ll serve you 14€ frozen pizza.
(In my experience anyway. These are large countries, so none of this is rule, just personal experience)
The winner is no questions Italy, though. Best pizza I ever had was in 8€ in an Italian town with ~5000 inhabitants. Unbelievable. Only good restaurant there, though, but I’ll never forget the experience.

I’ve been to one and two star places, never three stars (some day…). America has incredible food if you know what to look for. Some of the best Korean, Chinese, and Indian I’ve had in particular. It’s also a giant country with many immigrants, so it’s kinda obvious that it has good food. And southern food is great too.

Or Sambal Ölek, which works great with haloumi and falafel too.
- Comment on ESL homework 3 months ago:
Seems pretty clear to me. You see “Task 3,” instructions (“Continue the dialogue with Bob:”, capital C for continue and colon ending the clause), and then “Task 4.” But you can come to your own conclusions, if you think context is missing.
Forgive me if I am not so sympathetic with the teacher who created/graded this. My experience of school was much closer to a torture experience conditioning me to be a good little servant than anything else. I had overwhelmingly bad teachers who made that experience all the worse and should never have gotten and kept their teaching positions. Though I remember the few good teachers all the more favorably, and have stayed in touch with a few of them. This is just to say that I’m a little biased, but that bias is also rooted in reality.
- Comment on ESL homework 3 months ago:
Maybe I’m messed up somehow (I guess I am in the 98th percentile of dyslexics), but the instructions aren’t clear to me at all.
This happened a lot to me in reading comprehension exams in highschool as well. I would have hated the teacher and the class had I received a question like this, because I genuinely don’t know how to proceed.
Funny, I did so badly in highschool until grades 11 and 12, where I started the IB, got a different set of teachers, etc. And suddenly I get straight As (or in IB lingo, 7s) instead of Cs. And I think a big factor, not kidding, was the style and formulation of exams like these. It really does make a difference for some people.
Good test design would be to have Bob‘s first answer already filled in, so you get a pointer to how the dialogue is supposed to develop. Or just to have an oral exam, which I think are superior anyway.
- Comment on Audio cable measurements are driving me crazy — why don’t they null?!? 4 months ago:
I realize I may have left out something key to understanding dBFS for the unfamiliar. Unlike with dB SPL, which is what you are referring to with “at audible 0dB,” zero dB refers to the loudest possible sound in dBFS. The unit stands for decibel relative to full scale, where full scale (loudest possible sound) is 0 dB. So in dBFS, unlike with dB SPL (sound pressure level), all audible sound is stored as a negative dB value. When you listen to the audio file, this is first converted to a voltage, and then to sound pressure, which is finally measured in positive dB SPL.
If that doesn’t explain it for you, I don’t know what you don’t understand, and I can’t help. I would recommend finding some YouTube videos on the subject, in case you’re a visual learner.
