It takes every path available, and with high enough voltage, more paths become available

The monkey's paw curls. New AAA games now feature thousands of individual rock models, among other labor- and space-saving measures being forgone in favor of realism. The game is 400 GB and the devs have worked 110 hours per week for the last 3 months

I do feel for the 19 year old who was rightfully terrified of the thing but went on because his dad wanted to bond

At least where I live, the licensing test covers rules of the road, not automotive knowledge. I think this commenter was referring to some test covering very surface-level knowledge of vehicles, with a focus on ways to tell if a car is unasafe to drive.

Welcome to 2024 where we announce the possibility of an upcoming announcement.

Even more braindead than that, they file it under "bad thing that happened during biden presidency"

Pan-sear your burritos shut.

I do lighting design as a part of my job. I met a vendor marketing a 40,000K fixture at an event I went to a few weeks ago.

That was not a typo. Forty Thousand

It's coming at the tail end of a "lets try all menu items from [fast food chain]" arc

I feel where you're coming from, and on the other side of that I think labels can do a lot of good. There's a lot of relief and comfort that comes when someone who might otherwise have thought themself broken discovering that there are more out there like them. Finding a label that resonates can get them there. I'm speaking from firsthand experience.

Weird that experimental testing doesn't fall under fucking around

People: build an algorithm to generate text that sounds like a person wrote it by finding patterns in text written by people

Algorithm: outputs text that sounds like a person wrote it

Holyfuck its self aware guys

This game has the best asexual representation I've ever seen

If you don't have the time (or the foresight) to salt it hours ahead, the next best alternative is to salt RIGHT before cooking. If you salt 10-30 minutes before, osmosis will draw moisture out of the meat, which will then either be wiped away or evaporated. Salting hours ahead of time gives the moisture time to diffuse back into the meat with the salt it dissolved.

This is the human way.

is not behaving the way I want it to? Fuck with it until it does.

I don't even care enough to pirate shows any more. I'm just content with missing out

I witnessed a college kid, while shadowing an engineer, nearly lean on the exposed bus of a 1200A electrical panelboard while it was getting IR scanned. He and the engineer had a little aside about safety after that.

I think two things make up the core of the student loan problem.

1. Kids in high school are surrounded by rhetoric from every adult they might trust near-constantly insinuating that if you don't go to college you'll never make anything of yourself (this has been better recently, with more and more high school graduates being made abundantly aware of non-college options available to them)

2. Student loans are designed to spiral into lifelong debt. This one is a bit more anecdotal for me but a good few of my high school friends have paid back well beyond the initial sum of their student loans, yet their remaining balance is greater than they started.

Now I'm not saying this is what you're doing, but those who frame the issue as purely one of personal responsibility (i.e. "you took out a loan pay it back") are at best being unhelpfully reductive and at worst gaslighting.

Set aside, just for a moment, the abstract moral aspect of this position, and consider the purely utilitarian side. If such a huge portion of an entire generation's earnings are being funneled up to banks that talked them into a maybe-not-so-necessary college education when they were 17, they're not exactly enabled to spend money in local commerce. Money spent in local commerce is pretty good if you want an economy to thrive, and if you ask me, student debt forgiveness would substantially contribute to that. If you disagree then you disagree, but framing that disagreement as a moral superiority is immature.

Yeah, it really looks like a case of "the first layer of administrative safety control failed, and another layer kicked in to prevent a dangerous scenario."

I didn't read this as a "both sides" comment. It looks to me like the "toss up" is about who is likely to win the election, rather than who deserves this commenter's vote. The reason it's close to a toss up is because there are enough violent racists willing to vote for the violent racist.

A real cheat code here is when you truly can't find it in you to cook, have some easy heat and eat meal or something and then plan + prepare tomorrow's dinner.

Microwave burrito + take chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow

In the context of commercial lighting fixtures, color temperature refers to the visible portion of the black body curve

Soak a kitchen towel, wring it out, and line the bottom of the crisper with it. Feel it every once in a while to make sure it's still damp. That'll let your crisper be what it was designed to be: a little high-humidity box in an otherwise arid refrigerator.

Also, take note of how produce is stored at the grocery store. If the store doesn't refrigerate something (apples, tomatoes, avocados to name a couple), odds are you shouldn't either. The fruits and veggies that belong in the crisper are the ones that are periodically misted with water in the case at the store. Also probably don't keep anything tightly wrapped in plastic.

That's jazz baby

Since that initial big story in early october, Panera has done more to make it clear just how much caffeine is in these drinks. Prior to this, without going to their website someone might not even know they were caffeinated at all.

I should have specified. This finger curled 15 years ago

It was some kind of imitation skylight that claims to make it look like direct sunlight was shining through. Their 3d animation looked up at the light and it looked like the actual sky with the sun in the middle.

As for controllable CCT fixtures, everything I know of is going to be either an IoT app or controlled by a switch on the fixture itself (meaning the fixture would need to be uninstalled, switched, and reinstalled)

If someone's using the reasoning of drunk drivers to rationalize their behavior, that's not a great sign.

This is the way. Plus they're usually mesh so you can just toss them in the fridge with your produce and it stays breathable

Absolutely. Long dry brine is the preferred method, but if you just remember an hour before it's rime to cook, it's better to wait until just before it goes in the pan.

To expand a little bit - the ridges of your outer ear will attenuate certain frequencies of sound more than others depending on the height of the source relative to your head. Animals that don't have these outer ear ridges can still find the source of a sound laterally since they have two ears, and tilting their head tilts the plane of their ears letting them get some vertical sound perception.

In the smarter every day vid on this topic, they had a blindfolded person point to the source of a sound (succeeded no problem), and then packed clay into the outer ear ridges to mess with that sound attenuation. The person was able to keep their lateral sound perception but the vertical was all over the place.
