Yep, ditto. You can sometimes score good deals on meat that’s turned brown from oxidization because it’s unsellable to most folks. Tastes fine, same nutritional value

And yes, to your point, you will eventually rack up a ton up health problems with this lifestyle… to the articles point, being poor is expensive. It you have the option to not be poor, definitely take it!!

I can say with 100% certainty there was not 30 minutes to cook dinner alone. At a certain point you’re balancing how much sleep you need to perform at work (4-5 hours) and the amount of time you’d spend commuting and working (~16 hours a da

The last number I’d heard was that around 100/year starve to death in the US, but I suspect that number is higher when including deaths from folks who incur fatal health conditions from insufficient nutrition.

True, banana + frozen burritos / pizza for protein and fat are an excellent combo in this situation

Oh, bananas are god tier — I probably ate 2-3 a day for years. But you can’t live off them. 5+ Bananas a day really made me feel sick during some lean times. Nutritionally also pretty poor for sustenance, no fat or protein, and they digest

I mean —- have you been poor? I can say when my mom and I were dirt poor, we literally didn’t have the time. My mom didn’t take benefits mainly due to pride, but all the foods you mention were way out of her time / price bucket

I kind of hate that your being downvoted b/c your perspective here is a very common one. It’s not just a matter of unit price, but also time, convenience, and cal/$. Fruit / veg in general is pretty expensive when looked at f

Using % virgins bucketed by IQ as a proxy for the attractiveness of intelligence is severely dumb. It requires that all of these individuals are equally chasing after non-virginityhood, which definitely is not the case. A more plausible exp

For the statement “people select for entropy minimization” to mean anything in this context, it has to be so 1) general and 2) metaphorical that it could be more plainly put as: “People like what they like” Tautologically, this is correct

Yeah so this is an interesting point, the non-utility thst may secretly be a utility. See also net neutrality and censorship claims there. You could make a similar argument for news, another non-utility. They seem to have a model where outl

Ok, so if you’re the only one thinking it’s a problem, and assuming they’re not simultaneously and uniquely non-rational, there may be some logic to this. Questions: - is the code / models / software expected to last a long time?

Could someone explain to me how twitter has any legal obligation to provide a platform supporting all types of 1A protected content? Doesn’t that violate the owner of twitters 1A rights? If I owned a message board, and started deleting user

I don’t think 99.9% of people have the choice between a Honda or a Porsche (… or either of the two), so this list is probably aimed at a much more narrow group.

Calling TikTok a market of free ideas is almost like an oxymoron when it’s beholden to a party that jails dissenting journalists.

“Sliding down a dinosaur’s tail”? What does that mean? Never heard the idiom before Edit: is this a flintstones ref?

Did anyone else have to read this title several times to parse it? "Twitter features _that_ Mastodon is better for not having" is better, but still seems strange edit: I think what trips me up is that "features" is used

Interesting, I can see this as lending implies some due diligence into a companies financials. At the same time, at the personal level, I know I can get lines of credit that would be very tough for me to pay back. Is corporate borrowing mu

What do you mean by “use”? I randomly will download insta, scroll, feel cringe and uninstall. Does that count as using?

I've worked in small start ups before, but all boot strapped out of pocket / revenue. Wouldn't having to borrow money constantly be a red flag that the business is bad / not profitable?

FWIW, I did google it, and in Caravaggio's case we know some of the women's names who he used as models (and their occupation did seem to line up with what's suggested by the factoid).

I'm somewhat afraid to google for sources from a work machine, but the factoid that renaissance artists (amongst others) used prostitutes as models was circulated by lecturers in my art history classes. Could still be popular speculati

The problem is not all codes are meaningless regulation, and some of the important ones are indeed expensive (and vice versa). If you yolo it, you get cases like the Grenfell tower fire, and a lot of people literally die.

Re: the “hard” stems, maybe? They have a clearer function as a certificate pipeline, but in terms of prep I find it difficult to quantify. There’s also limited positions at the end of this pipeline (medicines a killer example, academia, r

The strange thing is I as a SWE interviewer generally find an engineering degree to not be indicative of engineering talent, over say, a masters in underwater basket weaving. I’m not sure dumping money into stem education does anything, or

I tend to think of yak shaving as the annoying but _necessary_ activity of fixing things you need to fix to close your bug. Not frivolous refactors. More like adding decent logging to a complex system, cause otherwise, how will you know why

The tell for me is the nonsense in the details of the image which aren’t super noticeable in the macro. Some of the faces aren’t faces.
