I look forward to reading the company autopsy in a year.

Robots are already frying your potatoes and have existed for years. Given that deep fryers are the leading cause of kitchen accidents, it was one of the lowest hanging fruits to automate. https://youtu.be/PSl8Xyp1kYg

As someone who used to have acid reflux that was morphing into GERD, changing my diet completely eliminated it. Low-carb works for me- also I’m mildly allergic to clove.

I guess this post is more for anyone else reading - if you have acid reflux, try figuring out which foods give you acid reflux first. It may require a radical change in diet. If you’ve done that and still have acid reflux, then take the medication.

Don’t touch the poop

Frame the question/conversation as a critique of someone else’s argument/viewpoint. Works reliably to get rid of the yes-man problem

No, that’s not what happens. You can compare charts of minimum wage increases against inflation. There isn’t a correlation.

The scientific method answers “How?” questions. It lets us build models of reality - a map of the territory.

“Why?” questions imply intent- requiring an intelligence making a decision. The scientific method does not and cannot answer those questions.

It’s good, but even Wildbow themselves says it could use a thorough edit - which will likely never happen. Not to say you shouldn’t read it. It’s fantastic.

Thanks for the potato soup tips!

Potato soup is just mashed potatoes with too much water, fight me.

Stoat has to fix their self-hosted version before I’ll touch it again.

I’m curious as to what these are, as I’m setting up a matrix server right now.

I don’t think it’s AI. The guy and stick are consistent between the two images from different angles.

I think the math checks out for this graph.

If a human on a bicycle consumes 0.15 calories per gram per kilometer, then a 100 kg person would be:

100000g x 0.15 calories = 15,000 calories = 15kcal

I’m guessing these numbers are for a racing bike on a flat stretch of smooth road where you don’t need to brake or accelerate.

Depending on how pedantic you want to be, that is for the United States release. The Famicom was released summer 1983 in Japan and the NES is generally considered the localized version for North America.

You’re a generation off: It’s more retro now than the NES (US release) was when the 360 came out. We crossed that threshold about a month ago.

My dude, how does any of that follow from what I said?

I’m saying we have to work together to enact the changes we want, and that requires being dependent on other people’s specializations. Banding together is literally the biggest strength of our species.

Fierce independence is how we got into this mess, and allows exploitation by organized power-hungry groups.

People need to cooperate in egalitarian collectives to achieve goals and resist exploitation.

Boss made a dollar
I made a dime
That was a poem
From a simpler time.

Now boss makes a thousand
And gives us a cent
While he’s got employees
Who can’t pay the rent.

When boss makes a million
And the workers make jack
That’s when we strike
And take our lives back.

“It’s like he’s threatenin’ me or somthin’.”
