“I can see better” says so much about a person’s psychology.

Yeah man, just remember we love you guys despite your insane government.

I’ve posted an original newspaper frontpage on my livingroom wall. It’s from the late 1980s, the year and date I was born. It’s got a giant photo of a wall of snow, with a small opening dug through it so that a car can pass through.

Title says: Patience! We will have Mediterranean weather in 50 years.

If it makes you feel any better, McDonald’s genuinely feels like the safest space when you’re rock bottom. It’s safer than church.

That’s why he distinguished work from effort though. But I think the concept we’re looking for here is called alienation.

Another way that low-level corruption hurts is that it’s so inefficient. When you have to know the right person and give the right bribe just to import/export your goods on time, the economy of your entire country slows down.

We’re polar opposites. I’m in northern Europe and sleep with an open window, thin blanket, and rocking 20.

I use stainless for acidic foods. Most of the advantages of cast iron are irrelevant when you’re making a sauce anyway, since the water adds mass, distributes heat and deglazes the bottom.

My favorite pan is from the 70s and I got it out of tge trash.

I recently got an induction stove (not even one of the expensive ones) and am so blown away by how fast it can heat up cast iron pans. It’s seconds, not minutes.

I mean I’m sure it’s pretty much instant with pans of lower mass, but instant isn’t what I need.

Exactly. The problem isn’t moving part of production to some other facility or buying a part that you used to make in-house. It’s abdicating an entire process that you need to be involved in if you’re going to stay on top of the game long-term.

Claude Code is awesome but if you let it do even 30% of the things it offers to do, then it’s not going to be your code in the end.

Jesus. It’s just a funny message because she sounds exactly like the HR lady.

The message is fine. It’s the tone that is comedy.

Thank you for an excellent interview last week, and for showing interest in me. I have had many highly qualified applicants, and I regret to inform you that I have now decided to move forward with a different candidate. If a position should open up at a later date, please feel encouraged to apply for a position with me again in the future. Let me also take this opportunity to wish you a most wonderful day.

Books. The models were trained on books. And it’s terrifying that 90% of people think you’re not real if you use a semicolon correctly.

That’s on him. He’s not the first person to walk or bicycle across West Asia, Iran included.

It would be so fucking funny if this is the last straw for Americans and they finally rise up.

Why didn’t I think of that?

Not sure if this is real, but just to be clear, it is totally stripping your body of all ions, including the electrolytes that your nerves need to keep your lungs and heart functioning.

Small amounts will be fine, especially if you don’t hold your pee, but it can absolutely kill you. Read up on water intoxication if you want to know more.

She barely even criticized Israel, she just said it broke her heart to watch children die and that she wanted to help them. That was enough to trigger the misanthrooy of these bigoted ethnosupremacist doomsday-accelerationist ghouls.

What would you prefer calling them?
