  • Idk where you're getting the nowhere does info, unless it is a regional thing somehow. I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant not devein things, and only a couple times have I seen people leave them in for home cooked stuff

  • On one hand I'm glad it sounds like it won't be too much of an issue for me to get things updated. On the other how is this any safer if an actual intruder can just get a picture update anyway? They already have a human compare my face and ID so someone getting to the facial scan point presumably already looks a bit like me. Thank you for the insight

  • I was traveling internationally about a month ago. I was able to opt out of a face scan while leaving the US, but when I left the other country I got scanned with no apparent opt out option. I'm sure they're already feeding cameras around the airport to facial recognition and soon if not already to some black box mystery AI tech.

    I'm probably going to get facial surgery in the next couple years. What happens if my face gets flagged as being a different person if I'm fucked off in another country? This is going to be a mess

  • I couldn't get through the book either... Like I said I'm not sure what that line is for me because I've definitely watched and read slow things but Dune can be so off the charts slow it hurts me. LotR is slow and half the movies are spent watching people running through fields but both the books and movies captured my attention (I know this is an imperfect comparison just first example I thought of). I'm excited you all can enjoy the new movie but I'll take the old one

  • I will die on this hill I legitimately like Mr. Mayor and Picard better than the new one. It took me like 4 tries to get through the new one it is so slow and full of itself. I'm not sure what the line is for me between good slow and being a slog but the new one is so hard for me to pay attention to. I'd rather scroll through spaceship still shots with some space music in the background

  • I'm partial to the 2e Castle Guide. Aside from some minor parts that book is system agnostic which I'm a big fan of. It also talks a lot about the culture around castles and who is needed to run one

  • Counting calories was the biggest thing, I like Cronometer. I did a crash diet to reset what my body expected out of portion sizes but quickly scaled back up to healthier amounts (no point getting an eating disorder over this). Don't obsess over tracking things exactly it's all flawed anyway. Instead just be consistent so trends over time can be identified and adjusted. I didn't do this for weightloss but I also quit drinking around that time which helped too. Started going bouldering regularly, recently bought a bike, and I don't own a car so I tend to do a lot of walking.

    Recently something shifted where I'm no longer counting calories to make sure I'm eating small enough portions, I'm counting calories to make sure I'm eating enough. I never changed what foods I eat I just changed the portions.

    Oh and if I'm feeling really hungry but don't have a lot of calories for the day I'll microwave a potato for a bit then pop it in an air fryer to finish. Baked potato quality in under 10 minutes, if you don't load it with dairy then they are less than a calorie a gram making them pretty diet friendly.

  • I worked for the state once and the number of times I had to put my foot down for security was appalling. We're talking like getting web services updated to use basic password auth could take months and I'd be pressured by management to ignore it because some asshat using the service doesn't want to update their 30 year old batch file to deal with auth. Other people would regularly push things that could easily expose thousands of people's identifying info just to get management off their backs. A couple projects I think I was specifically kept away from because they were "mission critical" and they didn't want me slowing it down with trivial stuff like not leaking unencrypted databases...
