Heaps of servings in the dish, but only one meal haha.
I once read it can be hard to put as much salt in your home cooked meals as what you get in fast food or processed food. And if you’re shaking the salt on top, it may be negligible no matter how much you put on.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 week ago:
Well aware that excessive salt can be unhealthy 😅. I don’t even track what I eat too closely. I might make a big dish of lasagne, maybe the meat has 3 or 4 teaspoons of salt, then the pasta has some, the sauce has some, I might also throw in some soy sauce, the cheese has some, etc. Then out of this giant dish, I serve up one scoop, throw on some tomato sauce that has salt in it, and serve alongside vegetables that have their own salt content depending on how they were cooked.
I honestly have no idea if I eat 2, 5, or 15 teaspoons of salt a day 😆
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 week ago:
I’d be curious to know how much salt you actually end up eating. It’s all fine to say no more than 5 grams, but how do you go about working out how much you actually had?
E.g. I cook pasta with heaps of salt in the water, salty like the sea, but the vast majority of the salt goes down the drain when the pasta is strained.

Who told you she over salted it, the people making the bland food? 😅

I want some big, strong kidneys! Got to train them every day.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 2 weeks ago:
Taste as you go!
Though I have definitely been caught out by salting it perfectly then it reduces and is then too salty.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, salt is my secret ingredient. Way more than anyone else is brave enough to put in, but it makes things delicious.
- Comment on Why OpenAI’s solution to AI hallucinations would kill ChatGPT tomorrow 4 weeks ago:
Consider the implications if ChatGPT started saying “I don’t know” to even 30% of queries – a conservative estimate based on the paper’s analysis of factual uncertainty in training data. Users accustomed to receiving confident answers to virtually any question would likely abandon such systems rapidly.
I think we would just be more careful with how we used the technology. E.g. don’t autocomplete code if the threshold is not met for reasonable certainty.
I would argue that it’s more useful having a system that says it doesn’t know half the time than a system that’s confidently wrong half the time

- Comment on Do Australians in the northern hemisphere celebrate Christmas in July to have a Christmas that reminds them of home? 2 months ago:
In New Zealand it’s pretty common to have a midwinter Christmas, even if you have never lived in the Northern Hemisphere. Not that everyone or almost everyone would do it, but in my experience most people would have at least heard of the concept (and I know people who do it most years, and others that do it occasionally).
This is in addition to, not instead of the normal summer Christmas.
- Comment on Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed 2 months ago:
I spent ages buying games on steam with Bitcoin years ago. They dropped it when transaction fees got bigger than the game cost (I don’t think they ever supported crypto other than Bitcoin, and that was through a specific payment processor that took the Bitcoin and gave Valve real money).
- Comment on There are major holes in this theory 2 months ago:
From random searching around it seems technology helps a lot. There are definitely fewer icebergs at that location these days but despite many reddit commenters claiming none it seems there are a few icebergs that make it there: map of iceberg locations
Sinking location: geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Sinkin…
Apparently radar makes sure ships know about any icebergs well in advance, and there are also ice patrol planes and satellite tracking to make them pretty much a non-issue. Unless you’re the MV Explorer cruise ship that sunk in the Antarctic after hitting an iceberg in 2007. But that was outside of shipping lanes and monitoring areas as far as I can tell.
- Comment on There are major holes in this theory 2 months ago:
For sad reasons, yes. Probably a lot lower chance than it was 100 years ago.
- Comment on Might be time to find another job 3 months ago:
Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.
- Comment on Why are living beings not being cooked alive constantly at the tekpersatures we are? 3 months ago:
I cook cut off a part of myself and sous vide it at my body temp and it would cook and be edible.
Can you really? Your internal body temp? Around 37C or under 100F? I can’t find any sous vide recipes that low. I can’t find anything under 50C, which would kill you if it was your internal body temperature.
- Comment on The Purge 3 months ago:
It says spines, rather than spine. The esophagus is covered in spines (think like the spines on a porcupine, not a backbone).

- Comment on A true horror 3 months ago:
I deleted all mine but the funny thing is back then they were all posts on people’s walls. You used to go to their wall and write something then they would come to yours to reply like a really bad chat UI.
If you went back to 2009 my posts would all be “That’s so true lol” or “Thursday at 7?” And make no sense out of that original context.

Are there enough trampolines on earth that we could reasonably expect that at any time there is at least one person in the upper part of their jump on a trampoline?
- Comment on Kinda fucked up tbh 4 months ago:
I mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.
It’s a bit like saying people in planes don’t count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.

By “mixed” they mean it hasn’t been able to attain orbit without exploding

Now that you mention it, it probably could have done without season 2.
- Comment on Zach Braff Joins ‘Scrubs’ Reboot in Development at ABC 4 months ago:
I don’t know about others, but I kinda liked Picard. It was clear it was just an excuse to get the old gang back together, but it was enjoyable to watch.
I’m not sure how enjoyable it would have been to someone unfamiliar with TNG, but I enjoyed it.
- Comment on Zach Braff Joins ‘Scrubs’ Reboot in Development at ABC 4 months ago:
I think I will reserve judgement until I see it. A getting-the-gang-back-together series or two could be a good time, or it could be another “Scrubs: Med School”.

I’m also reading about how our NZ/Australia socket was based on an American 125v socket design, later upgraded to allow 240v.
