amio,

How long have you been sitting on this information?!

amio,

We demonstrate, however, that Brunini under-estimated the energetics by twelve orders of magnitude

Oh snap.

amio,

Good mods/admins don't exist on Hexbear or similar bullshit.

Why do people not understand that you can agree with one thing someone said or did while disagreeing with the majority of what they stand for? (www.youtube.com)

An example is that I generally despise Jordan Peterson and most of what he says, but I often quote one thing that Jordan Peterson said (in the linked video) because I think it’s a good summary of why toxic positivity doesn’t work....

amio,

People, particularly people with controversial or "edgy" opinions, and especially people with JP-style controversial edginess, tend to hide their opinions behind that exact thing. His fanbase tends to be pretty religious about it and so people who start prattling on about his stuff come off as a red flag. It's a bit like "I'm not racist or anything, but-": you sorta know what's coming.

It's knee-jerk stereotyping, but not exclusively for a poor reason: it's a consequence of a bunch of his fans being cagey. You can obviously quote him or know some quotes without agreeing, but maybe it helps to make it clear. Or just don't refer much to him at all, I guess: anyone who doesn't already know about him can't really profit from learning about his BS.

When searing meat and adding spice in a more or less "dry way", for taco meat or chili or some curries, I sear the meat to nearly where I want it, then add the dry spices to toast on lower heat before "deglazing" with water/stock/whatever else makes sense. You can also just toast the spices separately, but some toasting is nice either way and I think this is convenient.

Generally salting early is good for anything you want to get any kind of browning on, it's just that the meat and any other additions might also be salty, so you don't always get to. Spices will give a better flavor over time, like a "rub", but you can't necessarily sear meat with spices on it. Things are usually tradeoffs.

Forgot the algebra using fruit emoji or whatever the fuck.

Bonus points for the stuff where suddenly one of the symbols has changed and it's "supposedly" 1/2 or 2/3 etc. of a banana now, without that symbol having been defined.

how similar are other North American countries to USA??

I mean the other 2 countries, Canada and Mexico, how similar are both of them to United States?? Both countries have a similar economy and democracy etc, and I think those two countries share things like supermarkets, stores, etc. I suppose the cultural differences are not a lot, that is very nice.

amio,

Some mysteries may never be solved in this world.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...

amio,

Well, this is certainly one of the takes of all time.

amio,

The UK should stick to things they know, like tea, comedy shows, fox hunting, and unelected MPs.

amio,

What's a little dehydration and imprisonment when you can have that afterglow, though

amio,

That's nothing new. Aside from resistance (vaguely the same mechanism as antibiotic resistance), some chemotherapy regimens could end up causing other forms of cancer - after all, fucking with DNA is what a lot of it does.

Irony sucks, huh.

amio,

Haven't watched any of them in a minute, but all I remember from the third and/or fourth was a kid with an RC car, and how it all seemed more like a bootleg version than a sequel.

amio,

No, but I tend to disable a bunch of the categories. If it makes it hard to avoid BS/irrelevant/uninteresting/"fake" notifications, notification perms go away, or the whole app does, usually with a free one-star rating. (As if that realistically matters)

Google Researchers’ Attack Prompts ChatGPT to Reveal Its Training Data (www.404media.co)

ChatGPT is full of sensitive private information and spits out verbatim text from CNN, Goodreads, WordPress blogs, fandom wikis, Terms of Service agreements, Stack Overflow source code, Wikipedia pages, news blogs, random internet comments, and much more....

amio,

fandom wikis [...] random internet comments

Well, that explains a lot.

amio,

That's an actual expression in Norwegian. "Dry" humor means basically the same as in English. A "wet joke" is something you'd probably make this kind of face at.

amio,

It's called sanguine because blood is hilarious, right?

amio,

"Gimme five lolcats for a demotivational," we'd say...

amio,

Greta Thunberg posted back that he was a giant manchild [ or words to that effect] Offended, he got into a flame war.

Quite unlike a giant manchild, of course. True aLpHa BeHaViOr!

amio,

If all it does it throw facts at you, damn straight it's dumb.

amio,

There's no reason it would be against the TOS, but there's no particular reason it'd make a good backup either. Youtube doesn't limit its weird, arcane, random-ass mutes and takedowns to public vids. At the very least make sure it's not your only backup.

amio,

Not really. Depending on how it works, it can slow down the browser itself due to needing to inspect and change content. Simple URL filters will, if anything, speed it up by blocking you from even trying to download unnecessary or malicious stuff.
