Ethanol, to lemmyshitpost in Lmk

I know a fun fact:
You know how a packet of 8 bits is called a byte? A packet of 4 bits, which is half a byte, is called a nibble!

Malfeasant,

Ackshully, it’s spelled nybble…

The brain is not a singular thing or impulse. Different neurons fire causing desire for different things at the same time (ie. I want to eat candy, I want to lose weight, I want to sit down, I want my house clean).
Some part of the brain calls itself the decision maker and calls itself you, but that doesn’t mean the brain is in agreement or that the decision maker controls the rest of it.

Sure, but I think about studies of traumatic brain injuries and neuroplasticity that have shown that different brains can use different physical parts for creating the same functions of mind, and all the wonderfully atypical brains out there that just work a bit differently but have nothing wrong with them,

And all that makes me think, because we all create that decision-maker (ourselves) a bit differently, we do in fact create that decision maker for ourselves, and that decision maker, in certain limited circumstances, has some independence from the brain that created it

e; I just want to emphasize the “in certain limited circumstances” part, because on second though I’m realizing that this could be read as a “just think your way out of your schizophrenia bro, you’re responsible for it” argument, and that’s definitely not what I want to say. So let’s just say the relationship between brain and mind is really complicated and maybe a bit of a two way street sometimes.

Dkarma, to foodporn in I made homemade buns !

Recipe?

bighatchester,

I followed Joshua Wiseman’s video on it . I dont have a mixer though so I just did all the kneading by hand so it’s a bit more work . youtu.be/gTGSUYMu6Ns?si=qPNa36f6F1RChABd

Dkarma,

Thx!

What are they made of anyways?? Could one see any etching marks with a microscope?

brlemworld,

Bunch of tiny magnets either north or south.

Usually aluminium or glass. There’s a metallic coating applied to the outside surfaces that stores the data. That layer is very thin though, so most of the material is the substrate.

I got married at 22, (wife 21) and on the 17th of Feb we will celebrate our 32 year anniversary. Seems to have worked out ok for me.

Meuzzin,

Fist-Bump Met my wife in 8th Grade. Got married at 21. Just celebrated our 28th anniversary. I think if the trust, loyalty and love is there, you’ll know. Neither of us had a doubt about each other, and we’re best friends.

Note: We did take a year or so off around 18-19, too get ‘it’ out of our systems.

Documentation is different from technical support and neither should be done on Discord.

cybersandwich,

Discord could be a decent place for technical support, the way irc used to be used, but unless it’s super active with knowledgeable, helpful people, forums/GitHub discussions and other asynchronous comms channels make way more sense.

Otherwise it’s like shouting into the void and the signal to noise ratio on my discord channels is really low.

Plus with forums and discussion boards they can be stickied and indexed to be searched. So the next time someone has that error message they can pull up that exact discussion.

A_Random_Idiot,

Discord is not a place for technical support or documentation, or anything important, ever.

Search engines can not index discord.

archive can not archive discord.

Everything thats in discord, is in its own isolated bubble, that will disappear from history and time should the discord ever shut down, and even if its still up, its not findable by anyone searching for the problem.

Discord fucking sucks for anything but random bullshiting with friends over games.

merdaverse,

This. There are so many OSS projects that are over-reliant on Discord and it will bite them in the ass in a few years.

A_Random_Idiot,

and so many people are already searching for solutions to problems and cant find them, because they are locked away on discord.

I fucking hate it.

and its only gonna get worse with the years to come, as more data is centralized in discord and locked forever away from search engines, or worse, lost with the discord gets deleted or if the company goes under.

and no ones saying to not have a discord. Just use it for what its meant to be used as. Social interaction. And stop using it for what it very obviously isnt, which is a information repository.

as annoying as havin all the answers on reddit was, at least they popped up in a search engine so you could find an answer to what your problems were.

I can’t wait until Discord have to start charging for features that are currently free (since they have to be profitable eventually), projects using it freak out about it, and end up switching to a different closed-source hosted system that’ll do the same thing years later. It already happened with OSS projects using Slack that migrated to Discord. People just don’t learn from the past.

Speaks to the fact that we apparently need better and new alternatives or make current tools easier to use.

Certain aspects of discord seem to resonate with people (unfortunately…).

Man pages are great as mentioned, but maybe not as accessible to some people. Are there tools to generate more convenient resources (e.g. wikis) from that? Similar to how generating technical documentations from (structured) code comments.

I mean, tldr exists but not for troubleshooting.

I agree with the point you make, we definitely need a more unified and better place for this.

AnalogyAddict, to foodporn in I made Funfetti cake with strawberry milkshake frosting

What makes it strawberry milkshake instead of just strawberry?

prettybunnys,

I would wager that this icing brings all the boys to the yard, but that’s just a shot in the dark.

(Maybe extra vanilla / creaminess??)

steventhedev,

Condensed milk whipped into the butter. I was legit surprised how close the taste was.

Honestly, the dried strawberries were hella expensive. I’m planning on doing a syrup next time. I’m thinking something like a small box of strawberries reduced and then through a blender, and drop some of the condensed milk to compensate for the extra liquid.

FellowEnt, to memes in You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life?

Kinda had an affair with a woman who married at 24 and regretted not ‘playing the field’. She ended up getting pregnant with her husband shortly after and I really hope they make it last, but I have a horrible feeling it was a doomed attempt to fix their relationship with a child.

Arfman, to memes in You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life?

At that age I was only interested in gaming. Don’t know how people have the facility to form long term relationships
