Older people in general do it. It just happens to be that older people are generally more conservative.

YouTube Shorts are ok, but YouTube knows what I like.

Like if you’re pregnant.
- Comment on Does enshitification happen because companies are publicly-traded? 2 weeks ago:
No. Enshittification happens because of venture capitalism.
Startup companies get a lot of money early on with the hopes that, after the investment cash is spent, there will be a profitable company left in its place. That company can become publicly traded or get sold to another company. The key is that the investors make their money off the startup.
The flip side is that, without venture capitalist companies, a lot of these companies wouldn’t get the opportunity to grow.

I don’t think that the use of Steam Decks in this manner is a great thing for Valve. It is basically being used as a cheap Linux PC with built-in user input and the ability to self maintain if the manufacturer decides to sunset maintenance.
If Steam Decks get deployed in this manner, it would only be as the computer interfacing with expensive equipment, which isn’t a large market and won’t really make Valve money outside the hardware sales.

Ye has commonly worn clothes to increase his size. That he would do this isn’t that crazy.

Other countries treat the question more as “how many floors from the ground are you?” than what you’re used to. After all, what floor is 0?
- Comment on what the heck is a pensioner in the UK and why are they the butt of so many jokes ? 2 weeks ago:
People in the USA would likely describe it as being on Social Security, likely with some supplement as Social Security only pays for cat food and a van down by the river.

It depends on where you are.

That might have been the style it was translated at the time and no one updated it.

- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been making that argument in other comments. If I had to argue the nuances of this argument in every comment, I’d be copying and pasting pages long comments that no one would read.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
I have one kind of salt that I cook with. I know that if I use different kinds of salt, it can affect the flavor and concentration, so I just go with one kind of salt.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
In this context milk is a bad example because the difference between 1.03g/ml and 1g/ml is negligible in a kitchen. Even oil (0.92g/ml) is close enough.
The context is that if you are going to hand wave away a 3% difference in a quantity, then having to weigh everything probably isn’t important.
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
Thanks for actually being interested in the discussion.

A lot of volumetric baking recipes tell you to run the grain through a sieve to remove clumps, this generally standardizes the density well enough.
Salt is usually assumed to be table salt unless noted in the recipe. Even then, most recipes have a point to them where they tell you to taste the food and add salt to taste as necessary.
What are you cooking with shredded cheese where the ratio is that important?
- Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups? 4 weeks ago:
In my other responses, I’ve noted that I don’t bake. In other people’s responses, they’ve noted that there are still a lot of baking recipes out there that don’t require precision.
