I’ve always done that. If it’s not a contact, I let it go to voicemail. If it was actually important, they leave a message.

You put whole beans in your French press?

If surviving humans lost 50% of their gut bacteria, that means that those snapped away left 50% of their gut bacteria behind.

Nobody is giving kids alcohol

When I was a kid I always asked for a taste when my parents had a drink with the meal. It was just a sip and I never liked it and it burned (it was usually a hard spirit), but I still asked every time.

When my wife was 5 she was being sent to the still to do a taste check and see if the brandy is strong enough yet.

In my country unlimited fiber was $6/mo. Imagine the shock when I moved to the US (also in Mountain View initially). Eventually I got AT&T fiber for “just” $40/month, but now I moved to an area outside their coverage and it’s back to Comcast :(

You’re the second person who thinks I’m talking about the sample article in the image. I was talking about the mod description below the image.

But that text is not justified and the spaces are not evenly distributed. All spaces are equal except those few double spaces (which are also equal to each-other).

Edit: oh, you’re talking about the sample image. I was talking about the mod description below the image.

Am I the only one bothered by the random double spaces scattered through that text?

Edit: not the justified text in the image, the text below it.

I’ve had my Samsung Bar for 5 years now and no issue with it, if that’s worth anything

I like that getting rid of glasses today is rejection of technology, while in Asimov’s Caves of Steel, wearing glasses was rejection of technology.

What the sigma?

I’ll never understand consuming this type of information in video format.

Capitalism is provably directly producing unscientific research at research institutions,

So you agree the second statement is not really about science.

This is mine

Well, I haven’t played these types of games when I was young. But I have no intention of spending money on microtransactions and the games I’ve chosen have been fun as a f2p player, so they work for me.

As for my kids, they’re still in elementary school and they’ve been raised mostly screen-free, so it’s not something I need to worry about just yet.

I play these games in bursts. Play until exhausting the actual content, then stop when it turns into a grind-fest. Come back a year or two later when there’s enough new content to make it fun again. Usually also with a whole bunch of returning player rewards. Repeat.

A I never ever spend a single cent in these games.

I thought AI was great at picking up context?

I don’t know why you thought that. LLMs split your question into separate words and assigns scores to those words, then looks up answers relevant to those words. It has no idea of how those words are relevant to each other. That’s why LLMs couldn’t answer how many "r"s are in “strawberry”. They assigned the word “strawberry” a lower relevancy score in that question. The word “rescue” is probably treated the same way here.

Games that I play include Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, both of which I just checked and don’t work on Linux due to anticheat protection. I see there are some alternative open-source launchers that would get them working on Linux and Mac, but I wouldn’t risk my account using those.
