That's how I've been using it: Like a sous chef.

I thought the same thing until I drove my car and then I realized what a difference it can make. This is what I have on my car along with the matching intake and I can confirm it sounds really nice. But, again, it's designed for better performance and not just more noise.

Plus I know that it's going to be louder, so I anticipate that and try to drive more quietly. Because I'm not a selfish asshole.

Only Russia could lose their navy in a land war. Twice.

I have a car with an aftermarket exhaust and intake. When I test drove it I had the windows down and made sure it wasn't loud. And it isn't, as long as I don't open the throttle up a lot and keep it under 3,500 rpm. My parents were concerned about it until I fired it up and my dad said "Oh, it just sounds like my old MG."

So you don't need to have noise to get a horsepower increase. You just need to do it correctly and think about someone other than yourself.

Man it would be so cool to live somewhere that doctors and scientists made this sort of decision.

It's hard across the industry. You need to basically be a therapist with technical knowledge.

"Tell me how you feel when you think about processing expense reports. Do you feel that the approval checkbox be checked or unchecked?"

I'd like to see an LLM get clear and non-conflicting requirements from a customer. It will probably nuke the planet in frustration.

I've never found a rice cooker to be necessary. Just cover the rice with about an inch of water - i.e. the finger trick - bring it to a boil and then cover it and turn it off. The latent heat will cook it perfectly in about 20 minutes without any other thought.

If you live in a solidly blue or red state these goofy candidates are the only good thing about voting for president.

I know someone who lived in Japan for the first few years of her life, and even though she was a US military brat her parents bathed with her a lot. When they moved to the US her parents started acting like Americans and it took her a while to understand why her dad was suddenly wearing a towel in the bathroom.

I was sixteen so in a bunch of states that counts as an adult for some situations. We were on a band trip to Disney World to march in the Main Street parade, and we stayed at a very cheap motel that had a very scummy pool. Being an idiot sixteen year old I jumped in.

First mistake.

That night I woke up vomiting, but because my band needed me and I didn't want to miss a free trip to Disney World I toughed it out. I was queasy but okay by the time we got there, and was okay until everybody had to meet up by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride to go "backstage" to get ready.

I was sitting on the wall there, next to my girlfriend, surrounded by classmates, when I trusted a fart.

Second mistake.

I told the band director and waited until everyone went backstage, and then proceeded to DESTROY a staff toilet while listening to two guys put their makeup on and bitch about the other cast members. Then I went back to the motel for a shower.

I ended up marrying that girl, who is now my ex, and who makes my life miserable every time she can.

Third mistake.

No doubt. But it's also good to keep in place for too long so people aren't allowed to protest.

the Moscow mayor canceled all mass gatherings scheduled for the weekend

Things that make you go "hmmm"

I thought this Thursday felt particularly irrational

I’m definitely going to watch it now, and also find a torrent of it so I can seed in perpetuity

People like you make me sad.

Or maybe there’s a dozen alternatives that could work better and both of us are staring at this from the bottom of a pro-hierarchy well that we’ve been stuck in ever since one guy convinced another one he should be in charge.

I don’t have a full solution, I just want us to be flexible enough to figure one (or more) out.

“The international ideal unites the human race”

A small part of me wants him to try something just so we can unleash the Poles and Finns on Russia.

Nation-states were a bad idea

I’ve been voting for 24 years and each time I think they give even less of a shit.

Also, voting doesn’t tell them what I think, just which asshole I hate less.
