I'm québécois, my grandma came from a big family (12 siblings IIRC). She used to cook with ground beef all the time cause that's what her mother cooked with too - it was THE cheap source of protein. Meat loaf, shepherds pie, meat

That was my impression as well. I'm just wondering if there are actual numbers to gauge by how much. I'd find it almost concerning anyone would draw any conclusions from it if it's not significantly any better at predicting h

How accurate is it, in practice, for a given individual? I'm not that out of the ordinary proportion wise. I have a slightly longer torso and arms versus my legs, a somewhat muscular-ish baseline and broad shoulders, but I accumulate f

Pass it down depends on having a kid around your age that can pass it down to you. We buy second hand for most, but we still have to buy. Yes, there is a need for a larger car when your original car is tiny, or you didn't have one at a

Oh come on. Spending it on kids ALSO means buying their products in the end, captive audience and all. Kids come with all sorts of expenses you can't just wave away. Daycare/education. Clothing. Twice the food you would as a coupl

The drop in temperature was the most striking part for me. It wasn't just dark, it was night in the middle of the day for a couple of minutes.

Am I understanding that you’re building JSON with string interpolation? If so any special reason you wouldn’t build a dict and json.dumps() it?

Re-reading they indeed didn’t say “chronic pain”, that was me extrapolating. However I think it’s still relatively safe to assume “hand problems” prevalent enough to prevent them from typing code for many years to be both painful and chroni

You will absolutely care if the billionaire gets another million and you get a thousand if a thousand stops being enough to pay the bills. The value of money is nothing if not relative.

Missed the part where they had stopped entirely because of chronic pain? Are you somehow aware of the levels of pain they deal with daily to be able to say they could “totally” do it without?

Knowing how precious the current state of Earth is at human scale makes me fear the asshats acting like everything revolves around “progress” a lot more than knowing how insignificant we are at cosmic scales.

“Humming quietly”? Really? Humming, yeah, sure, but ask the people living next door how quiet they are.

Last I checked, restaurants actually do run on razor thin margins. A fraction of the costs is food - IIRC on average about a third. Most of it is rent (typically very high in places where you’d have foot traffic) and labor (pretty labor int

I run some light services on my NAS cause well, in the end, the distinction in naming is arbitrary at best, it’s a computer, and I use it for computer things. In an ideal world where I can afford separate purpose-built machines for everythi

The DoW head sees half of his own country’s population as enemies, Islam as an evil religion of hate, and the work he does as striking down the enemies of God. I heavily doubt that this man gives a single thought to children of muslims.

If an ALEX drawer unit takes them over an hour and a half to build, IMHO they're doing something wrong. Many others on that list seem suspiciously high (the BRIMNES comes to mind). Curious how it came up with those values.
