RagingRobot, in Chance encounter

That’s such a cool name. My mom named me Rumpelstiltskin for some reason.

Mr_Blott,

Son, it was actually Crumpledforeskin but the registrar was dyslexic

OhmsLawn, in Was it not ripe enough or something?

You have to wait until the stalk turns brown. This should be obvious to anybody. I’ve literally never eaten a ripe corn dog with a green stem.

someguy3, in Th... Thank you?

Are you trying to tempt me?

D_C,

No, you come from the land of plenty.

I wish I could tell if this was fake. But I've worked in retail before

Dragster39,

Always remember, 50% of the population has an iq < 100 and a significant part of the population doesn’t know reflection besides their mirror alter ego.

Shut up old man.

QuantumSparkles,

It had its problems but I really enjoyed this movie. Really cool monster and cult

Mr_Fish, in Th... Thank you?

I’m disappointed. Vegemite is clearly inferior to marmite.

CopernicusQwark,

The problem is rather the opposite of the meme. The file format is fine, but there is so little effort into making it happen.

If we were trying then I should be able to upload webp images everywhere. The most egregious is websites that will convert jpg and png uploads to webp but don’t allow webp upload.

Wilzax,

webp isn’t fine, it has a ton of vulnerabilities because it’s not a safe file format. It gets to do too much and it’s insecure for that reason. That’s why you can’t upload your own webp but conversion to it is fine

carpelbridgesyndrome,

The format is fine. The rate of bugs in image parsing code in general is alarming but that is true of just about all the formats.

Its a high compression image file, ffs. If someone sends you a 10 mb .webp file, that should be setting off alarm bells right off the bat. Even then, I have to ask what the hell your Windows Viewer app thinks it should be allowed to do with the file shy of rendering it into pixels on the screen.

propaganja,

I mean, it sounds like you’re saying, “I don’t know how it can be dangerous, therefore it’s not dangerous.”

UnderpantsWeevil,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

All I’m hearing is that “its not safe” without further details. And given the utility relative to .jpeg, I’d like more on the table than just “Don’t do it! Unsafe!”

propaganja,

I agree the claim requires more evidence and it would be foolish to just take it at face value, but even if my intuition told me it was intrinsically safe I wouldn’t place any degree of trust in my own logical conclusions, or discount someone else’s warnings, however spurious.

The burden of proof should never be on the accuser when it comes to safety, in my opinion, or anything else of public concern. And the standard of proof should be higher to show that everything’s ok than to show that it’s not. At least in an ideal world.

UnderpantsWeevil,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

I wouldn’t place any degree of trust in my own logical conclusions

Okay, but then why use .jpeg?

The burden of proof should never be on the accuser when it comes to safety

How does the .webp protocol demonstrate itself at least as safe as any other standard format? There’s no established safety standard for image protocols that I’m aware of.

Veneroso, in Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's not happening

The degree will get you the interview. Experience will get you the job.

Unfortunately it’s hard to get in the door without one.

Co-ops, work study, volunteer work, even self employment cannot be understated. They’re not necessarily looking at if you have done the job, but how you’ve handled situations. De-escalation, customer service, team work, taking initiative, and reasoning are all good things to mention during an interview.

Read the job description, research the company, be prepared to ask questions to show engagement, and be prepared to show how your life experience has prepared you for the work.

And be sure to say thank you and send a follow up email or two!

You’ll also need ten years of programming experience in a language that has only existed for 2 years.

over_clox, in Was it not ripe enough or something?

Needs ketchup, obviously.

NegativeLookBehind,
@NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social avatar

Mustard is the superior condiment and yes I’ll drive to your house and argue with you in your front yard about it.

Imgonnatrythis,

Sure if you are out of cheese sauce I guess.

NegativeLookBehind,
@NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social avatar

But is cheese a condiment or a separate food item?

Imgonnatrythis,

I’m American so it’s both

over_clox,

I did not dispute mustard at all. Ketchup and mustard can live in harmony, can’t they?

Can’t they?.. 😭

From what I’ve read a whole bunch of parts of those plants actually are edible, though I’m not sure if that part in particular is.

Draconic_NEO,
@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve heard it’s the roots that are edible, though probably best to cook them first.

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

The whole plant is edible it’s just not all palatable all the time

Lorindol, (edited )

The root is not just edible, it is delicious.

You have to pick the part of the plant just below the waterline, you can just twist and rip it off or use a knife for a clean cut.

Then you remove all the green and cut the white part into small slices (like you’d cut an onion). Then fry the slices in a pan with butter, when the pieces become translucent they’re done. Add a little dash of pepper, salt and few drops of lemon juice.

The taste is a bit “almondy”, it’s great with fried halloumi or beef.

The best time to pick the roots is before Midsummer, after that they’re not as tasty.

Draconic_NEO,
@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world avatar

That does sound tasty.

fsxylo,

I’ve read you can take the seeds and make bread with them. But I recommend no one try just because some Internet people are saying it’s possible.

TheSlad,

I storngly recommend taking one of these into your kitchen and tearing all the seeds off inside!

It will be fun trust me

Rentlar,

This advice is great for anyone whose favourite card game is 52-pickup.

Classy,

Yes, it is edible when young, but once the tail is brown like this it is no longer edible. Its core is composed of many tiny seeds covered in tufts of cotton-like filament that it uses to float off and germinate elsewhere.

gullible,

Don’t forget to mention that they’re under pressure! It’s a veritable firehose of seed, not unlike the bathroom at The Round Room.

tygerprints, in Was it not ripe enough or something?

When I was an ordinary dumb kid, I took a bunch of cattails from a pond nearby and put them in my desk at school. Well - a couple days later, they decided to "bloom" and we had a desk inspection and when I opened my desk up, the room filled with big fluffy cotton spores. I got yelled at for a solid hour, I'd never seen my teacher so angry. And I'm like, what's the big deal?? It's free cotton candy and it's pretty!!

Sotuanduso,

New prank idea.

tygerprints,

Yeah but just don't get caught. Turns out teachers don't like having their classroom filled with fluffy seed spores.

Steve,

For real

AgentGrimstone,

I’m thinking Pringles can

Sotuanduso,

I like the cut of your jib.

As someone who has had to put together websites:

  • It is supported by every major browser
  • It is halving the amount of your mobile data that I am using sending you images (With lossy compression it does even better)
  • It is decreasing my network egress costs
  • It is increasing the number of connections I can serve in a given time period

Nope I am not going to stop using this or AVIF (which does better)
