- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 12 hours ago:
Oh, I think I just replied to the wrong comment by accident. My bad.

You’d be surprised how common it is to put toilet paper in provided bins instead of flushing! Lots of places in eastern Europe and South America, in my experience.

Like that old joke about the technician. $5 for the hammer. $1995 for knowing what to hit.

- Comment on AI is destroying open source, and it's not even good yet 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been told that the LLMs are reaching pretty hard diminishing returns, in that you need exponentially increasing amounts of compute for linear returns in model performance. The cost of marginal improvements is bumping into theoretical limits.
It can’t turn into general AI, that’s not how LLMs work. So they’re uselessly throwing money after nothing.

That’s definitely it. And it’s pretty self-aware, I think.

I’m told that trying a cloth around the neck of a molotov cocktail is as effective and much safer. It will break and ignite as easily.

Your body adapts. It’s mainly down to your gut microbiome being able to handle it.

Could possibly buy or make garlic infused salt, then mix the two.

Tempeh and nutritional yeast are a good start there, but you may need supplements, yes.

Yeah, we go to Spaghetti Factory (Canada) and fill up on bread and just tip the main course directly into leftovers containers sometimes.

I hope it works! I’ve been meaning to try rolling them out before freezing them, which also seems pretty smart.
- Comment on Anon likes pizza 1 month ago:
Parchment might work better. Less microplastics, and then it can go straight from freezer to counter to oven without leaving the parchment.
- Comment on Anon likes pizza 1 month ago:
You can make and freeze dough, too. I do a batch of cold fermented pizza dough and then divide the balls into mason jars and put them in the freezer. Not that much work. Just have to remember to pull the jar out lunchtime for dinner pizza.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 1 month ago:
I wear leather boots, ankle high. The shoe store fixes em when the bottom wears out. Had em 11 years and they’re still fairly pristine. Just gotta oil em every winter. Probably should do that more often.
It was $600 and $50 or so every couple years. Figure I’ve gotten it amortized down.

That’s pretty much how a Klang drive works in Space Engineers.
- Comment on Has Canada's government done anything concrete to reduce dependence on the US since Trump took office? Maybe even since the first term? 2 months ago:
Unfortunately i think this is a case of ‘nice doggy’. Trump needs constant sucking up or he goes apeshit. Words are cheap, and we need time to adapt and replace the USA.

It wouldn’t surprise me if such a critical part was cast as a single metal crystal. The stresses on that rotor mist be unbelievable.

100%. I think just a vertical flip of the image would do it. Otherwise anatomically difficult to pull off.
