- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 2 days ago:
And after actually putting my quotes into it, I was horribly wrong, but still, that’s how I would have done it.
- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 2 days ago:
For me, it would be more about figuring out the rough volume. So, like, you look at a hazelnut, it appears to be about a half-inch spherical value. There seem to be about 6 wide across the bottom, so you could assume that the bottom is somewhere around three inches wide. The top is probably closer to about 5 inches wide. And the height is going to be something like 6 inches.
This is also using rough guesstimation from my own personal knowledge of cups.
So with that information I would use what I remember of the cylinder formula, which is pi times diameter times height I think.
And average the two diameters for a four, so you would go four times six times pi is about 75 cubic inches of volume. Each hazelnut uses about 3/4 of an inch of volume so I would guess there are about 100 hazelnuts in the cup.
That being said, the question is not, what is the correct way to guess it, just how would I do it, and this is how I would do it.

1, all is not a numeric value 2, not all of them are in the cup. Some of them are resting on top of others that are in the cup, but they themselves are outside of the cup’s boundaries.

I live in a geodesic dome and I have a free-standing wood-burning stove as a supplemental heat source in my master bedroom which overlooks the living room.
It is capable of heating the entire house by itself, but I only use it like two or three times a year.
That being said, it’s often very nice to start a fire on a cold day and have a girl over and have the fire. It’s a good excuse to not be wearing any clothes.
- Comment on Without AI I never would have know this 4 days ago:
In the AI’s defense, it didn’t tell you to do it. It just said you can try.
Kind of like that uncle we all grew up with if we grew up in the 90s that like could tell you how to do all sorts of illegal shit, but never told you to do the illegal thing. Just said, “Oh yeah, if you wanted to do that, I would do this.”
Like, if you had just watched a crime movie, the conversation would go to how you would rob a bank and the uncle would whip out some, like, 40-step plan to rob a bank and get away with it involving ATVs and picking the right location and who his accomplices are.
But, like, you can, at the same time, you also know the uncle would never do it. He’s talking out of his ass, making all this shit up on the fly.

Probably cancer, but if not they would age slower and look younger longer assuming they didn’t tan their skin to a crisp or something

I know that word because I’ve heard it said many a time. I grew up in the racist south and apparently the word is well over a hundred years old, so when Snoop used it against other people, he was trying to say like a worse word than the n word to describe those people.

Every so-called edgy comic or musician from the 70s-00s have all either sold out or faded away.

That’s fucking racist, dude.
You can dig on him for his words and his choices, and the things that he has control over, all you want, I’ll be completely and totally behind you, having your right to an opinion.
You can’t say shit like that. That’s not fucking cool.

I mean, yes, but she’s only physically and mentally 14.
If you put a child in cryostasis until she’s technically 18 you would still be a pedo if you did anything to her.

I’m gonna need a source for that 'cause, like, they weren’t really concerned about creepiness back in the 60s from what I can tell.

- Comment on If your happiness is derived from your enjoyment of a false (i.e. fictional) stories, is that truely happiness, or is that technically a delusion? 2 weeks ago:
I think happiness is more generally defined as the absence of things that make you unhappy rather than a tangible thing itself.
Kind of like how cold is defined by the absence of heat.
The issue is, is that people think that happiness is a concrete thing, and so when they are asked if they are happy, they start looking for some like joyous positive, buoyant, radiant, plus in their lives.
And then, when they don’t find it, it makes them wonder if they are not happy.
Happiness is the capacity to be engaged with your life under your own volition.
If you have that, even if you don’t feel the way you think happiness should feel, you are happy.
Happiness is not contentment.
Happiness is not joy.
Happiness is not a warm blanket on a cold winter’s day.
Happiness is being alive and present in your center.
If you feel like you are not happy, that is what you should aim for. All of the other things will work themselves out in the process.

He did also follow that up with:
Scrooge: “I help to support the establishments I have mentioned–they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there.”
The gentleman: “Many can’t go there; and many would rather die.”
“If they would rather die,” said Scrooge, “they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”

Yep, this is highway to a $1 tip from me.
But that depends on the business. The $1 tip would only be for a chain company where I know the employees are making at least normal minimum wage and the tips are just a tip on top.

Bijin warmaidens is just a “make prettier” mod for the most common female followers.
Cbbe (Calientes Beautiful Bodies) is a “give them tig ol’ bitties and ass”, and it is NSFW, lol

Well, llms are kind of in the same position as sex dolls.
Scarily close to real, and dependong on what you spend unnervingly so, but not real enough that you can’t tell there’s something missing, and also you typically don’t talk to other people about how you play with them.

I think it’s just because the VA made the " I am sworn to carry your burdens" sound sarcastic.
I guess she’s also disappointed easily, too, but I would honestly rather have the disappointed and sarcastic Lydia over some, like, bright and chipper version.
- Comment on Honestly 3 weeks ago:
Like, I have no idea who my waifu would even be. I’ve never thought of one before. Like, I guess I could go with Lydia from Skyrim? Sure, why not? 50/50 chance. Hopefully I’ll get the Bijin Warmaiden’s mod with cbbe if it happens.

Even if you enable Secure Boot, you can disable BitLocker, and that will prevent this from happening.
The only thing BitLocker really does is make it so that if somebody steals your computer and doesn’t have your password, all of your files will be encrypted, so they don’t get your files too.
Depending on your risk preference, it is okay to disable it.
