It’s interesting to meet someone else who also struggles with an overuse of parentheses and ellipses (I didn’t know what they were called, thanks for that!).
This is a complete shot in the dark, but do you also happen to be on the spectrum? (I have nothing to base this on expect my theory that overclarification could be more common among neurodivergent people)
Edit: ellipsis -> ellipses
When using feet and inches, its fine to use precision of 1 inch as it’s much smaller unit than 0.1 m.
If one says that they are 5’11" (180.34 cm), they can be 5’10.5" (179.07 cm) to 5’11.5" (181.61 cm) tall. That’s 1.4% variance.
If using meters with one decimal place, and say they are 1.8 m (5’10.9"), they can be 175 cm (5’8.9") to 185 cm (6’0.8") tall. That’s 5.6% variance.
Thus it’s not really viable to use only one decimal place when using metres as unit, so in many languages it’s easier to just say the length in centimeters compared to use two deeimal places.
For me even kagi didn’t provide a recent doc, but at least there is no garbage-sites (which I have blocked)
I setup jellyfin with private tracker finally last week. We haven’t used any streaming service in years, so I was shocked to find out we would have needed 3 different services for 2 movies and one series we wanted to watch.
Notice that only some of them re-animated? Those are the strong and manly meat eaters, unlike the weak vegans who are too protein-deficient to be able to be resurrected
My partner sets two alarms, one an hour earlier when they take the adhd medicine and go back to sleep. It has sped up their bed -> outside time significantly.
Oh not that kind of flight, it’s fight or flight type of a thing. So whenever anything scary happens, the only thing one can do is run away.
See a big scary dog? Run away. Partner injures themselves? Run away. Have to attend an important meeting? Believe it or not, run away.
I solved this issue by getting an ortholinear split keyboard (keebio iris) and flashed it with custom dvorak layout. This way my muscle memory hasn’t suffered much then using a regular keyboard with qwerty, only special characters like paranthesis cause issues.
Oh that makes so much sense. I was wondering why single-click would ever be default.
I think you misunderstood him; He was trying to say that he doesn’t know how to give a raise, reasoning being that he is so incompetent in his job that he doesn’t even know what you did that year.
How about pixel?
The posts are from march 2023, and there are no ads yet :/
Recently I was looking for info (in finnish) how to prevent car windows from fogging. I found a really weird website all about car windows, but it kept confusing car and house windows. It instructed to clean car windows by “opening the window and cleaning between the panels”.
It was obviously ai-generated, but I couldn’t figure out why. They weren’t selling anything, there were no ads and no links to other websites or services.
Edit: I found the site again, I cannot spot anything nefarious, but proceed with caution: https://www.lasinvaihto.fi/
Well, here (in middle of finland) the sun set at 14:30, so there wasn’t all that much solar energy available.
Also heat pumps are always at least as efficient as straight electric heating.
Oh it hadn’t occured to me that not only salt causes osmosis. Thank you for the explanation!
Seems like I’m going to boil the potatoes whole in the future, thanks again :)
No problem! Make sure to test the universal summarizer also, it has been extremely useful for skimming scientific papers and documentations (you can also select “discuss further” to ask specific questions about the material).
I also felt that the price is too much, until I started to actually think how much I use and rely on search engines in my life, and suddenly the cost doesn’t seem all that high. Granted I’m fortunate enough to live in a high-income country.
Isn’t the osmosis minimized when the salt concentration of the water matches that of the potatoes, and thus it shouldn’t affect the saltiness of the end product? Assuming that the water is thrown away of course.
Give kagi a shot, it has worked great for me
Do you know whether salting the water heavily affects the water absorption rate of cut potatoes? It should reduce it on cell level, but I don’t know if that is the case with starch
But that’s not all that useful, since it’s not stable and will turn soon into quickersilver
