  • I’ve had the same pair of Rockport boots for 20+ years.

  • I understand where your coming from. If you are used to cooking “by the seat of your pants” for one scaling to a group is more complex than just increasing the amounts.

    A couple things that can trip you up:

    Prep: Bigger ingredient amounts mean you probably should prep them before starting. E.g I can peel and dice one potato in the time it takes water to come to a boil. 6 potatoes, not so much. Do a mise en place.

    Seasoning: taste more often and consider aiming for a more “average” palette. E.g I like my food with very low salt but more pepper, but I don’t do this when cooking for others.

    Pans: larger sizes mean you might have to do some steps in batches (browning) or use two pans where you could have used a single pan for one (e.g. split the pan and brown meat at the same time as cooking onions). Create pans/trays to hold the parts of the meal that are partially cooked. When making a lot of something, a little prep and organization makes things go smoothly since you might be repeating the same task several times, so if that task is a little quicker, you get a big benefit. Whereas you might not want the extra prep pans to wash when cooking for one, when cooking for more the better organization actually makes it go quicker.

    You still can cook by taste/eye/instinct for the ingredients and amounts. It’s just that planning and organization becomes more important.

  • It’s not so much the fake reviews, as the very honest and bluntly negative reviews. That gets in the way of Amazon making a cut off of sellers offloading useless crap onto their customers, and those are the reviews I think they will be purging.

  • How much disdain I have for change (“they are just making it worse!”) aka grumpy old man syndrome

  • If you login to the Gmail app on any device, it can also act as 2FA. Does not need to be the one where they send the push…any logged in device will work.

  • Now I believe it more than ever

  • A malformed (attacker crafted) webp file could cause Chrome (or other Chrome based browsers) to execute arbitrary code when rendering it. The file might be embedded in a web page you view. Other applications that use Skia for graphics are theoretically affected too.

  • I think this model has billions of weights. So I believe that means the model itself is quite large. Since the receiver needs to already have this model, I’d suggest that rather than compressing the data, we have instead pre encoded it, embedded it in the model weights, and thus the “compression” is just basically passing a primary key that points to the data to be compressed in the model.

    It’s like, if you already have a copy of a book, I can “compress” any text in that book into 2 numbers: a page offset, and a word offset on that page. But that’s cheating because, at some point, we had to transfer to book too!

  • Nice. It’s apple season and you’ve inspired me to pick up some pork this weekend to pair with my fresh apples.

  • I don’t believe the claim that their ADAS was not enabled at the time of the crash. While maybe factually true, if it disengaged a few seconds before, the crash is still the fault of Tesla’s software.

  • It’s impossible if the vendors stop shipping os updates. I can’t use an out of date phone for my works 2fa push. Kept my phone for 5 years and it was still going, but the planned obsolescence got me.

  • The content creator can delete comments from their own videos.

  • I always welcome a new build if it will help your development! (Mlem is one of the highest quality apps I have used)

  • They warn all the smaller birds and critters if there is danger (hawk, dog cat, etc). They are noisy bullies but the smaller critters put up with them since they will also gang up on larger prey birds.

  • I use paper for shopping lists, to keep track of dimensions etc, and to-do lists for work.

    I tried multiple note taking or to do list apps over the course of a few years before going back to paper.

    Benefits: No risk of scratching/dropping my phone because I have it out. Can easily emphasize text, star/cross off items, and mix diagrams and text. Can quickly scan many items by eye. Works when my phone battery dies. Works when no cell service (unlike some collaborative to-do/list apps) Can hand the list to my partner. Instant sync. Satisfying to physically toss out completed lists. Can reference the list while on the phone. Not distracted by phone alerts. Never get spam email or pop ups urging me to pay for an app, or rate an app; no terms of service or privacy policy!

  • Wow. Many people have digital methods. I create jira tickets because it’s required but my actual work list I follow is handwritten in a notebook. When it gets more than 50% completed I copy the incomplete items onto a new page.

  • Could be calibration or hot air rising? Where are you putting the other thermometer in the grill? What happens if you stick them in boiling water?

  • Thanks! This is a good resource.

  • Walmart, Target for brand name household items. BJs for bulk food. Etsy for miscellaneous small weird items, or eBay when I really want some sketchy Chinese knockoffs.

  • Also sometimes you can get the ugly off cuts in bulk for a discount
