Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this might be the best feature of Google photos

I was going to ignore it but then you did it again and so now I can’t help but be a pedantic ass: it’s spelled “college”. Collage is those art pieces made of scraps of other art/media

Because they did in 2023

I was taught that resume’s are experience-focused and cv’s are education-focused. Obviously there’s a lot of overlap but the latter is used more in academia, and by recent graduates with little work experience.

Op should apologize

Basically how I do rubber duckie debugging

See? It should work because I initialize it as this and iterate doing this and this which gives me a data structure like this and … wait … oh hell that clearly doesn’t produce the data structure I want. 🤦

We tend to see what we want to see, not what actually is.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Gaming PC’s are expensive and a luxury! It makes sense economically. With consoles there’s an incentive to sell hardware cheap to get people into the ecosystem. With the exception of the steamdeck, there’s no such incentive for PC’s: if the hardware is worth x amount, you can bet your ass you’ll have to pay at least that. Yeah games are generally cheaper on PC, but not by much, and the barrier to entry is much lower for consoles. Hell, the PC I just built from used parts and Amazon deals cost me $800 (not including accessories), and while the processor and ram is almost certainly better than the ps5’s, the graphics are about on par, if anything slightly worse. You can find used ps5’s for less than $400. Is there really a used PC out there that can touch that?

I used to struggle with picking seasonings too, but here’s a strategy that I picked up from the internet somewhere:

1. Decide which basic flavor(s) you need
2. Pick an ingredient that will satisfy one or more of those flavors.

Here’s a baseline “basic flavors” that should always land you a flavorful meal:

• heat (eg peppers, wasabe)
• acid (fruit, vinegar)
• salt (table salt, soy sauce)
• fat (butter, bacon grease)

But there’s a few others that might come in handy, like:

• sweet (sugar, honey, fruit, many veggies)
• mint (thyme, rosemary, basil, black pepper)
• bitter (grapefruit, many veggies)
• savory (soy sauce, meats)
• whatever flavor alliums have (onions, garlic)

Of course, figuring out which basic flavors you need is still a skill to develop, but this two-stage process helped me a lot. Plus, if you’re trying to stay traditional, then the second stage where you pick the ingredient may already be chosen for you. Mexican food needs acid? Lime. Italian needs heat? Red pepper flakes. Asian needs salt? Soy sauce.

TL;DR: Don’t go straight to choosing ingredients you need, instead choose a basic flavor you need then pick ingredients that will satisfy that flavor.

I wish so bad I was better at telling stories. Not that I have many, but still

What does damage is short circuiting the electronics, which water can do.

And corrosion, which water can catalyze, which is why your suggested steps should be done ASAP. Great write up though

This song didn’t click with me until I caught it on the radio driving late at night. I dunno what it is, but for some reason those slow bluesy led Zeppelin songs just hit different when night driving.

Half of my vocab gets stuck on the tip of my tongue, LLMs come in really handy for figuring out the word I’m looking for

And their second album. And their third…

Then you go to hell

You know, whenever this theory is discussed, everybody seems to assume that this simulation that we’re allegedly living in is supposed to be an approximation of the parent universe, similar rules, but probably lower fidelity (basically the sims).

I think we should forget that assumption. It’s human centric. Who’s to say that the entity running the simulation even meant for it to be a simulation at all? Given our universe appears so much bigger than our pale blue dot from the inside, if our universe is a program running in a parent universe, I doubt that we - homo sapiens - are the point of it, or it’d be leaner, more focused. We’d be the center of the universe. But at every step of scientific discovery, we’ve found that that isn’t true. We’re just noise, sand on the beach, dust in the wind. If we live in a program, I doubt that the person running it is even aware of us specifically as a species, let alone as individuals. I doubt that they’re specifically aware of any particularly galaxy, in the same way a neural network developer isn’t aware of any specific weight in their model.

Granted, you could argue that that the rest observable universe is an illusion, a wilderness mural painted on the walls, designed by the simulation operator to make us think that we weren’t in a zoo. But that sounds a lot like “God put those dinosaur bones there to trick us”, so personally, I doubt that’s it.
