I can cook at this point, self made recipes and sauces and delicious foods. But I find google (or ddg in my case) to be shit for finding recipes. Too many results, lots of filler content about someone’s grandma and yada yada yada. These day

I realized yesterday, I know more about Festivus than Kwanza. Amazing how much that show has entered into the modern American (and other countries?) lexicon.

One thing I’ve had help melt the pressure on both sides of the table is a laugh. I’m fortunate enough to be able to sort of slice through tension and get a rise out of most people. Stressing exactly what you’re looking for, that you’re not

Using words like infesting is what people who’re demonizing others do. We’re currently living in the most peaceful era of human history, so maybe American hegemony isn’t terrible? There’s certainly been far less regional conflicts than ever

Seems like on every thread about regulation or taxes someone with a libertarian point of view has to chime in with this extremely orthogonal point to spread their views on government. For one thing, you’re arguing simultaneously that the go

Wow, that’s really neat, I never thought of using css variables in this manner. Although, to be fair, I never knew they were called custom properties either. CSS and HTML are pretty powerful as a duo these days, I’ve been doing some freelan

So 100bn a night, these figures are about a third higher than what was happening before when it was 75bn (IIRC)? It’s odd to me the overnight market has contracted to the point this extra liquidity is needed. I’m not particularly concerned

Brooklyn near the Barclay’s center by chance? I always wondered how that works, you just swipe again and it doesn’t deduct if you got on a certain subset of the lines and then swipe at certain stops within some time period?

50% returns in three years? Although 2016 - 2020 has been a pretty bullish market. Seems like they do well during downturns too?

I read of a study once which said smokers who wait until after breakfast are less likely to develop cancer. Which makes me think maybe it’s the length of time between, in which case you might be better off smoking seven on Sunday than one a

Something came out in the NYTimes recently that walking three times a week for a half hour had positive effects. Can’t remember everything about it. I love walking. What I think is nice about yoga is you get mindfulness, flexibility, streng

Reading your comment gave me the mnemonic “a line goes perpendicular to it” which I think will come in handy (for me at least).

I’m convinced if they stopped paying us all to rewrite things that work the market would fall out from under us. Every job I’ve ever been involved with has always had some code base that was in framework X and now needs to be in framework Y

I wonder how they measured them. Is it possible with large enough sample sizes the average values would probably be about right? Sort of like that idea if you get 10,000 people to guess how many beans are in a jar, the average will get clos

In Manhattan the taxis seem pretty reasonable to me but that may be an outlier for a variety of reasons.

Yea I’m the same way, switched a long time ago, probably about two years like you and haven’t really had to look back. Maybe it’s because I mostly browse with private pages, never sign in to Chrome, always deny requests for location, etc an

I think it’s 320 million people but that’s just being pedantic. One thing you could compare it to is America four decades ago. Wealth inequality in America seems to fluctuate, there was the gilded age which was greatly unequal, then we tamp

I suppose the one sort of exception to this would be barn cats who sort of self domesticated themselves and became valued members of households by keeping rodents at bay. Cats also seem pretty intelligent to me.

Yea, the factory farms are definitely pretty awful. I’m lucky enough to both cook at home, live in a big city with lots of good butchers, and have the resources to be able to afford to buy organic, pasture raised, and grass fed meats as muc

Yea I like shopping in person. Just gets me out of the house (especially key when you work from home), I get to examine things before I buy them, get some social interaction, and support local businesses. Looks like similar 8 inch cake pans
