Adding to your points of dwindling recipe sources and web sites clearly designed to gather clicks instead of deliver good content, LLM-generated recipes are also a problem...and a deceptive one at that. My son, a professional chef, tried an

I am not sure why you are asking and the tone of your questioning seems more leading than curious, so I ask you, what is your point?

On mobile, I'm greeted with a chatbot window and feedback tab before I even get to read the first paragraph. This is awful. Pages like this get an immediate no from me. You guys have got to get out of this "any engagement is good

This is so sad to me, but thankfully, not all of us are like this. My neighborhood has a small park that features a pear tree and a plethora of frost grapes. My wife and I are of a conservationist bent, so we monitor the plants in the park

I think, at this point, we can assume if it has a camera, microphone in the controller, connects to wifi, etc, it will be spying on you in some way. No list needed, just look for displays without those features. I get around it by using PC

Indeed! Perhaps the ads for lawyers getting people out of timeshares is part of the Great Timeshare Conspiracy between our two states.

I do not know about other US states, but in mine, it is not uncommon to hear radio advertisements for lawyers who specialize in getting people out of timeshares. We have a large population of 50+ individuals who like to spend a good chunk o

I'm interested in trying some bone conducting headphones, but it seems like there's two styles on Amazon; those that go around the ear and head similar to Aftershockz, and those that "clip" to the ear. I imagine the ones

I dig it. As a vintage tech enthusiast, the last thing I want is a bunch of javascript or framework-of-the-moment hoohah pummeling my browser. I want pictures and info. HTML with a bit of CSS is perfectly fine for that. There's a time

This is what happened to mine. I flashed Momentum, got Maurader and a wifi dev board, did the "all the pcaps!" thing for a bit, opened some garage doors, then used it to clock in at work for no reason. Then I went to go sell it an

Your back hurting could be a number of factors, but the big two would be your mattress or your posture/overall while awake. Try doing planks and crunches each day to build up core strength, which makes it a bit easier to maintain good

I'm surprised a mobile app does not exist, yet. That space is fairly successful for a number of learning platforms ( Brilliant, Duolingo, SoloLearn, etc) and it makes sense that giving your subscribers to learn on-the-go would mak

I reckon it can and I am about to give it a shot, myself. It sounds like a Duolingo sort of structure, which can be boiled down to "use it or lose it" which is not hard to support with compelling evidence. Say what one will about

I like your examples, but I disagree. Having also read Plato and many of the speculative writings that address his work, much of it is still up for debate, especially when context is not understood. Feynman, whom I enjoy as well, often said

It is dumbing down. Let's not dance around that particular bush. Shorter sentences and words with fewer syllables is why mainstream media has a following. Simplistic messaging for the simpleton masses. So yes, your advice is great if

I agree, but I also give the company the concession of being able to open-source the product when support ends. If they do that, I'm okay with it. As soon as they're done making whatever money they could from the thing and it beco

Agreed, though any study should link to the paper published by said study. It's not just the Guardian. The media outlets are all equally and dangerously poor at science journalism and presenting findings in an appropriate way, and shou
