As someone who has only lived in major cities - what is the plan for food? Grow it yourself / hunt?

I would enjoy a California be Japanese blind taste test. My mother in law has started buying Vietnamese-grown Japanese short grain - I think I can taste the difference but it could also be the cooking method As a cash strapped student I wou

Please don't project your own opinions of a staple that people eat sometimes 3 meals a day onto others. I'll beat your blind taste test everyday of the week just by rolling the rice around in my mouth EDIT fwiw you can vaguely buc

Thanks, I hadn't crystallised in my head that being a doctor has somehow become a passion industry for many countries (like the UK). It had all the hallmarks of a passion industry but my brain rejected drawing the connection presumably

Food, plane tickets, cots, nappies, child care, education, extra curricular, upsizing house/car - these are all pretty large expenses for kids... Sure every one of these can be squeezed but living solo/without kids is definitely l

Wow that's horrifying - sorry to hear that you were in that situation and thank you for being willing to open up about this. It doesn't have to be just partners - a friend recently told me about her husband's younger sister w

My wife and I recently did a model for how we expect our expenditure to increase once we have kids. We obviously will love our children but we find it irresponsible to not have done the exercise of how much our kids will cost per year (and

I think modern dating via apps made this very transparent: if you're usually paying for dates (or even if you're splitting) you will start to develop an intuition for some kind of cost per interaction and this can be quite importa

1 payment per second. 1 payment per uber ride. 10 dollars per ride. 864k per day. 365M per year. It's not a small system and could be some mixture of one market at Uber or some %age of rides (eg one payment provider) (it could be 2 pay

I thought the colour and anecdotes were useful towards conveying the message. Sometimes only after you've experienced something for yourself does the reduced pithy one liner make sense and resonate.

One benefit there if it's statically typed is that you've pushed some correctness validation into the compiler. In dynamic languages like Clojure it is far too easy to couple functionality and write implicitly imperative but super

Google has been sitting on AI search for a long time - I recall people saying it simply wasn't cost effective to do AI powered search because the way AI costs scale. Has something changed on this front or is it just an arms race?

I had the memory that race pools were deeper in the middle but I think that may have changed especially as I haven't competed since 2008 Here is a source from 2012 which shows pool depths weren't always uniform but it seems more m

The thing is, depth discussions have been going on for decades and these swimmers literally live in the pool. When people spend literally 40+ hours a week in water I trust them well before I trust scientists because it takes scientists so m

It's pretty amazing that people here are willing to wade into a field and contest what is accepted amongst practitioners. Olympians literally spend around 40 hours a week in the pool if not more. Places like team USA and other well fun

Why would we expect that to vary by any appreciable level?

The water cube was such an epic pool - extremely deep and the level perfectly flat rather than elliptical. I still have dreams of swimming in it

Volume of the mouth is about 150mls (half a can of coke). Maybe you have a big mouth so let's call it 180mls. That's 10 moles of water (assuming saliva is 100% water). At 0.9688gcm^-3 they're basically 1:1 and the stoichiomet

India isn't so great an example insofar as there are plenty of sources detailing common deficiencies in the Indian vegetarian diet - namely B12 and protein. But in any case I don't think turning consumption into something moral wi

I once cooked a vegetarian pumpkin lasagne for a vegetarian guest and it was delicious but my god was it hard work vs a regular one.
