Dealers can’t be consuming all their supply ;)

But I agree, overall, southern European food is just so much better.

She really destroyed her legacy by refusing to retire.

Chaotic neutral should be a solo laptop screen.

You can certainly cook eggs in a well-seasoned cast iron. I just like to do french omelets which requires you to stir things before it sets, which is a bit more difficult on seasoned cast iron or carbon steel vs just a plane non-stick.

Both of my carbon steel and cast irons are larger 12 inch pans, so they are both a decent weight.

I find cast iron to be a bit heavy for everyday use, carbon steel gets you most of the benefits while giving you more flexibility on the weight.

The only thing I use my non stick for is omelette dishes mostly because it’s much easier to fold French omelet when you can lift the pan easily with 1 hand.

Both of you are assholes.

Nothing warrants destroying things over a perceived misgendering.

At the same time, a bit of an asshole response from you, when you could have just politely said that you meant dude as gender neutral term

Unpopular opinion, but Tesla model 3 has been the best car with the lowest total cost of ownership.

Electricity is cheaper than gas by a lot, no moving parts or fluids to replace except washer fluid, brakes last forever since it’s Regen braking.

It’s also pretty fun to drive.

Not a fan of the dude, and never bought into the hype on the tech side, but it’s a solid car.

The cloud givith and the cloud taketh

“Boring and Safe” when the man has a button to literally annihilate the world 10 times over and can literally lead the world into WW3/massive trade wars/destroy countries over night seems petty logical.

Frozen fruits that are high in pectin. Chia seeds.

No, because I need too much information for work. This would render me unable to perform my work, so I would need at least the replacement salary.

Not really.

Now the 15 sponsored links will be irrelevant to YOU as a user since they can’t personalize the ads.

They can still use context advertising which does not use your personal information but only what you are giving to them for search.

Amazon search is probably the least impacted by this, since they use context advertising by default.

Rampant alcoholism.

I’m in tech and It’s literally not falling.

People are still hiring, just the bar is no longer absurdly low.

During the pandemic, everyone was hiring like crazy, and people coming out of boot camps were instantly hired even when they didn’t understand algorithms, didn’t understand system design, and didn’t understand engineering principles.

Now, you actually need to have a brain to be hired.

Tech is also not a bubble, because tech is in every single industry now. You might get froth in certain segments of tech (crypto, AI, whatever is the current “hot thing”), the market fundamentals are absurdly good. Operating margins of mature software companies are consistently in the mid 20s to 30s.

Raise the property tax, exemption for owner occupied, then tax the rest.

Degrowth is a dangerous ideology. For those living in rich countries, degrowth might just mean austerity, for those living in middle and lower income countries, degrowth is going to mean destitution and certain death for x percentage of the population.

You mean x football fields.

Coincidentally both “football fields” are pretty close in length.

Just switched to them. Would recommend so far.

I’m not convinced by any mass society that is altruistic, but it’s very simple to see that the natural state of human small groups is quite communal.

What mother has a ledger for the child’s share of food?

We have an entire feeling brain that’s dedicated to relationship building that’s very much the core of most small group relationships.

I’m also very convinced that this model does not work past Dunbar’s Number (~100-150 individuals), and most attempts at building communal society outside of that without some cohersion and some better way of organizing incentives is not possible.

You can also copyright the original character and make AI generate all the motions of that character. Since the originals was (human) created and copyrighted, it doesn’t matter that AI created art derived from that character isn’t copyrightable in of itself.

Plus there is also trademarks for character likeness.

All in all, I agree with you, this is a non issue for Hollywood studios.
