  And my axe!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨business is business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but a good used lens and an older camera body is plenty sufficient for good photos especially if you can edit worth a shit. You don’t need some new mirrorless body and some crazy lens that lets you take aperture down to f/2 that is brand new to, for example, .

  I’m confident that with my old canon EOS 5D Mark 2 I can outshoot any hobbymom who spent 5k on Amazon today for something new, and anything the camera can’t do is accomplishable in Darktable.

  Holy shit my little brother is getting married next month and no I have to find Crocs to put these on the front and nuts on the back. Anyone got the assist here? I have a 3d printer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Costco Pistachios⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  While that is true that factories CAN be extremely detailed in their process, everything is driven by cost efficiency. If it is more efficient to process a large batch instead of a small one, what happens in this thread is what you get. There is no reason to say “oh they could remove those shells!” because it’s only a thing worth doing of it’s cost effective.

  So I guess yes you’re right it’s fixable but only if it’s a problem people care about. I think it’s fundamentally crazier to think you can figure what is profitable for pistachios from a thread by some rando better than the company that makes them.

  Maybe it’s a conspiracy, probably it’s process optimization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Costco Pistachios⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So… consider that if they scoop them one bag at a time from a large container nobody is adding extra shells, some of the nuts fall to the bottom of the container.

  That means some bags at the end of each batch will be lucky and others (like this one) won’t. The math is probably something along the lines of “how can I optimize the cooking and prep process to keep at least XXX percent of nuts in the shells?” and not “How can I guarantee each bag has statistically equal nuts and shells” or “Mwahahaha how can I source empty shells to fill 20% of all bags!”

  What makes you suspect that people up voting a) agree with the sentiment rather than just finding it to be a good/entertaining fit for a memes community, and b) that those people include a representative sample of parents?

  Sounds like sealioning to me.

  She’s only six, I presume by the time she moves out she will be fully capable like most functioning adults.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Felt cute, might delete later⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You are welcome. I don’t even charge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Felt cute, might delete later⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You folk are all good people, but like I tell my almost 6 year old, you gotta do you chores whether you want to or not. They just gotta get done.

  Not doing them once or twice makes it about 6 times worse. You just gotta do it.

  It’s either that or my blocks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Is Why I Sit Down To Pee Pee⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I don’t follow. Are you saying that you give it a good jostle and it’s wet all day? Or are you literally talking about your hands?

  As for me, I don’t have that sort of feeling personally. That doesn’t invalidate what you’ve got going on of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you people read books?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I looked for a better app, but honestly the Gboard built in was basically just as good as any other option I could find when it comes to accuracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you people read books?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of my nonfiction I do by audiobook while I walk in the morning. I find anything too strenuous and I can’t concentrate. I do take notes, primarily by voice into Google keep. Though I did recently switch to a git repo tied to the zettel notes app since that’s how I view my notes on android. Usually I process them out by the end of the week or so.

  As far as good “hard books”, I could recommend Fantasyland by Kurt Andersen if you’re into a “how did we get here” story about the US, or A Thousand Brains by Jeff Hawkins if you like thinking about how our minds work and have interest in AGI. The last hard one I read was the dawn of everything by David Graeber and I found it to be absolutely fucking terrible for as much as people talk him up, would not recommend. There are some good ideas in it, but stylistically it’s heavy on context and light direct points or logical threads.

  Right now I’m mainlining dungeon crawler Carl and it’s pretty entertaining, but weird that I have 2 of 3 books in progress being easy fiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Is Why I Sit Down To Pee Pee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always thought this comic was upvotes because the absurdity of it is funny, not because it’s a thing that people are actually anxious about and therefore relate to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Is Why I Sit Down To Pee Pee⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everybody shows up to do something specific and keeps their eyes on the road. Unless you drop your pants to your ankles or you’re packing SERIOUS heat there’s nothing to see anyway unless you’re way out of your lane.

  I find it MUCH weirder to take a dump in a “guest bathroom” that is a half bath with no fan or background noise and is next to the room where people are.

  Also… unless it’s your first time with a wang, I am perplexed by why you would need toilet paper. Presuming you wash your body regularly and you wash your hands when you’re done it’s not like you’re dipping your fingers in the stream or putting it away wet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gotta shit the right way⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He is mad because his toilet is hooked up to a dryer vent and she’s furious because, for some reason, her toilet uses electricity instead of water. Both sound like smelly affairs.
