I'm with you. They are so much like jalapeños, just smaller, spicier and usually really consistent. Although recently I had a batch that was disappointingly mild. I think serranos must be very close genetically to jalapeños.

Anecdata: I've noticed a huge range in the way people are affected by chronic weed smoking. It seems like most people tend to become more content with their current situation and happy to enjoy the moment. This seems make most people l

This is very awesome! I've had a fantasy for a couple of years of building a physical device that would do this. I imagine a sphere that uses a pair of rings on axis supporting an inward arrow that can rotate in all directions within t

As a counterexample, Slack started as in internal tool (from what I've heard), and turned out to be a very successful startup. And it wasn't the kind of thing engineers don't want to build, nor an integration of a legacy syst

Well earlier in this same thread: > Visa used 189GWh in 2017, worldwide, of which around half was data centres [1]. That handled 111.2 billion transactions, so about 1.7Wh per transaction (half for datacentres). Bitcoin used 844670Wh per

Whenever this kind of thing comes up, I hear bitcoin enthusiasts use strange logic to claim that it's good because most of this power is coming from renewables, or that if it's not then it's incentivizing the switch to renewa

This is so broken and depressing. I had a tour of the EMR system being used in my jurisdiction and it was shocking how bad the UI/UX was. The scenario you describe is exactly what I imagined. As a software developer I feel so motivated
