  It’s not that bad. A traditional yogurt-making practice is to put a couple ants into some milk. The microorganisms that the ants introduce helps kick off the fermentation of the milk, turning it into yogurt.

  It’s not an apples to apples comparison. The fact is that many Amazon employees can make 25-50% more, with better work-life balance, better benefits, a less toxic environment, and the ability to work from home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨American tourists visiting the EU, what do you think of it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Europeans seem to be happier, healthier, and to have a generally better standard of living than Americans. Small towns in Europe have much more personality than US suburbs, which largely consist of strip mall after strip mall. Food in Europe is focused on quality, whereas in the US the focus is on quantity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the secret to making LED light bulbs last as long as the package says?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming you have a lot of flush-mount ceiling fixtures (aka boob lights)? My experience with them is that they’re very effective LED bulb killers.

  The only two that have lasted are in my range hood for light above my stove. Those experience extreme heat and yet they are fine.

  They only experience heat when you’re cooking, and are able to vent that heat to a large volume of air (assuming they’re not enclosed, or only enclosed by a thin sheet of plastic). The rest of the time they’re probably powered off and at ambient temperatures. Compare that to enclosed flush-mount fixtures, in which bulbs stay on for large portions of the day, trapping lots of heat in a small space for long periods of time. That’s a perfect recipe for killing LED bulbs.

  If your house was built prior to LED bulbs being so widespread, it might be worthwhile to consider new fixtures that were actually designed with LED bulbs in mind.

  Also, don’t buy no-name bulbs off Amazon. Chinese factories crank out shitty bulbs that are designed and built as cheaply as possible, and they will fail quickly.

  If you do any business with Japanese or Korean people, then yes, definitely.

  How much of his brain did the worms eat?

  In Kagi, you can prioritize results from domains you trust and deprioritize or hide results from domains you don’t like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thin Car Paint⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your complaint shows a complete lack of respect for the manufacturer’s profit margins. They probably save a couple bucks per vehicle by skimping on materials optimizing paint dispersion.

  “We’re not anti-union, but we’re not neutral either.”

  Well Amazon, you’re not pro-union, so what exactly are you? ‘Cause that pretty much covers the full spectrum.

  You’re way overthinking it, my friend. The meaning of it is “‘Murica, fuck yeah!” They want everyone to know what a tough, Trump-loving big boy they are.
