This is so much an acquired taste, people just are not patient enough. I stopped eating dairy due to allergy when I was 20. And since, I've drank only vegetal "milk" substitutes. Of course by now (I'm 40) they all taste

Do you know what are the cartels controlling and profiting from now? AVOCADOS. And those are very legal here in Mexico and I believe also in the USA. Legalisation solves certain problems. But doesn't make bad/broken beasts sud

Right, I used to think legalisation was the answer for Mexico's violence. But in reality things keep getting out of control here. People get violent because they can. There's no accountability. We need am army from outside to com

I've successfully used ChatGPT to proof-edit/fix 250+ scanned and OCRd recipes from my grandma's collection. We wanted to digitize them, but after using google Text ocr service, we couldn't get enough quality. Using GP

Ooh so Google is killing the Route53 competitor? A part of their paid Google Cloud Service? I'll never trust Google cloud with any production infra.

Remind me of the great quote I read somewhere: "hackers are technical debt collectors " For all you Businesspeople reading this: this is how much that tech debt the Engineering team has been talking about has costed.

I just want to echo the OTHER completely astounding thing Hufman did: Back when r/the_donald was a thing, the guy edited posts from other people to change the narrative. Now, I dont subscribe to the ideas of the morons in the_donald

THIS is the way at least people in the EU and California could bring the asshole reddit management to its knees. Just ab avalanche of private account data deletion under CCPA or GDPR (or ARCO in Mexico yay!) Would make break reddit where it

Every time I read those type of comments from workaholics, I remember the article on top 5 regrets of hospice people [1]. I think that the age to burn the candle is between 18 and 30 or 35 at most. After that,fuck it, people should live th

Shit, there are computers doing productive work and going strong on MSDOS 6.22 here in Mexico. Released in 1994, that makes it 30 year old software working without issues. Google software can only DREAM of doing that. Microsoft was doing

This is bullshit... i use Google domains, particularly the easy email redirect. Google domains is a PAID product... for xxxx sake, I already didn't trust google, but this is the nail in their coffin for me.

Not in my view. The idea has A LOT of potential. @nwienert, when I saw that I had to connect a wallet, I actually thought that posting a comment would cost some very low ETH/MATIC/whatever price. It would actually be great to

And on NK there's no internet at all. So what? Why this fixation in changing the focus out of the US with whataboutism? Others' worse actions dont make ones bad actions better.

This is a great text. Most internet English language forums have a heavy American culture bias. So it's not easy to find places to talk in a calm and unbiased manner about US imperialism. In a couple 100s of years , history will be

I hate anti-CT people. Questioning is the way of science. If someone wants to question whether the US arrived to the Moon or not, let them, dont discredit them Let them look for evidence and present their case. What are we afraid of? Sam

Turns out a large majority of Americans are uneducated white men that tend to right side political ideals.... and for good or bad Reddit decided not to deal with them.
