50 rolls for 1€. Great price! Only 2c each!
- Comment on Turning 18 and moving to another country alone this year got me feeling like… 1 day ago:
My first meal away from home was a hard boiled egg, some bread and a raw bell pepper. That was the full extent of my cooking knowledge (plus maybe pasta?). The shared kitchen was somewhat furnished, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to cook the egg
- Comment on academic jargon 1 day ago:
The jargon is precise, the translation can provide intuition. You often need both to get the full depth of a concept across. Good academic communication should be a mix of both, with introductions/overviews/conclusions/remarks interspersed along the way to help and conduct the reader, while the precise elements are also given in parallel to explain the technical aspects. Often in presentations the hardest bit is determining the level of precision that is expected by the audience. And usually, the format is intuition first, precise, jargon-heavy details afterwards.
- Comment on Turning 18 and moving to another country alone this year got me feeling like… 1 day ago:
My advice is the same, but my timeline very different. The hardest moment was a couple of days in. I didn’t have friends or hobbies or knowledge of the place yet, a lot of time on my hands and I was staring down being away from home “for ever”. Then the ball got rolling on my social life and I found my tempo.
Other advice: make learning the local language an absolute priority if you don’t know it yet. Also because language courses are a great place to meet your first local friends.

I agree that the middle one looks thinner
- Comment on Anon hates tiktok 2 days ago:
While I agree it got worse, I remember some people doing exactly that when I was in high school in the 2000s - sms were enough to constantly distract them form what was going on in front of them

For a plank, it is. For anything else, where you are using more complex shapes and more than one material, no finite firm is known, so FEM all the way (or some other simulation technique)
- Comment on Labor plans crackdown on social media algorithms as Taylor says he’s ‘deeply sceptical’ 1 week ago:
But the article doesn’t give any additional info and it’s therefore only there to rile up people against “the spooky algos”
- Comment on Labor plans crackdown on social media algorithms as Taylor says he’s ‘deeply sceptical’ 1 week ago:
Any systematic method of decision is an algorithm, so it is an algorithm.
Usually you also want to add contacts-of-contacts posts if they are relevant “enough”, so you need to define what that means. New first often gives you a lot of crap and hides more interesting content (have you tried it on Reddit?), so that’s not the preferred algorithm even in the best case scenario.
And here we are, deep in algorithm making.

When tracking about legislation, being outside is importante. Because as present the law is both useless and unenforceable, on top of being demagogic
- Comment on Labor plans crackdown on social media algorithms as Taylor says he’s ‘deeply sceptical’ 1 week ago:
People really don’t understand what ‘algorithm’ means. You can’t turn off all algorithms to determine what appears in your feed. If you do that, you would get nothing in your feed at all. But, there are many different algorithms and you can give power to the user in choosing which one(s) to use. Only content from your contacts? New first? Highest upvotes first? A mix? Payed content how and where? And so on.
Small pet peeve of mine…

Why would there be condensation if there is no temperature gradient most of the year?
- Comment on Rich ppl live longer 1 week ago:
“Two to three jobs” is already a statement that in Europe would apply to basically no one, while it’s a common reality in US

We have wiper blades?
- Comment on Life is hard 1 week ago:
“Here” is an important word! I assume you are Canada based. I live where we rarely or ever get freezing temperatures, and only decently started having warm/hot summers. Why would defrosting or ac be mandatory in such climate?

If it happens once, it’s most likely self-suggestion
- Comment on Take the pledge! 1 week ago:
I went to a young meeting in the early 2000s… I don’t remember the exact numbers, but roughly 4k teenagers for two days with, I think, 8 toilets? In the middle of summer. The queues were insane. Everyone was trying to hold it as much as possible.

Or: is there a job… where I can just live my life? Like, spend time with friends and doing hobbies and still getting paid?

Yelling doesn’t teach. But I agree on the second part,

While the teacher sucks, the sycophantic AI is itself a problem…

Corrected according too your results. My app shows all of them equally well

Edited, can you let me know? What seems to be the problem?
- Comment on the last season was so ass 2 weeks ago:
What have been called a plot hole?
To me, while not great, it felt like a neat clean up of all the threads that had been started.
::spoiler Mild Spoiler The only problem is that it solves the question of Vekna by pushing it back in time, so there are still questions there ::
- Comment on Anon does nothing 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this reads more like depression and self-sabotage then stupidity.
- Comment on I subsist on caffeine alone 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, it takes a bit to “pay back” the owed debt, but it’s a matter of a couple if weeks at most. Sleeping well and long for two-three days in a row should already have positive effects. While sleeping long only once might make you feel even more tired - or at least that’s how I feel.
