  • Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for?

    Jump

  • Some of us just enjoy spending the day with family and eating good food. Not for everybody, I accept, but I don’t understand the ire.

    Jump

  • That's good. I hope your family has a wonderful time together.

  • Does anyone else miss traditional forums?

    Jump

  • They’re still alive and kicking.

  • Why is socialization so hard in the 2020s?

    Jump

  • Well, yeah me too. But my life being easier (food and money easier to come by) and comforts rarely in question - for me at least - does not equate to easier to make friends.

  • Why is socialization so hard in the 2020s?

    Jump

  • Is it? It gets harder as time passes for each person. Friends become fewer, more busy, and farther apart. It may be that it is objectively harder now. What do I know as an old man? But it feels hard for everybody as they age individually. I have no close homies that I talk to regularly. 30 years ago, I had many.

  • I need a savoury, summery drink as an alternative to beer

    Jump

  • Near beer works great as a shandy, too. The lemon flavor may even lend more to the desired bitterness.

  • What are some things you put a ton of effort & work into, but it pays you $0, and you wish there could be some reward for all your hard work?

  • YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg

    Jump

  • You’re probably correct that there are other methods for perfect eggs, but I believe that is a bit reductive. Boiling first then reducing the temperature, while similar, is definitely not the same as periodic temperature change, aside from it adding the same total energy to the system. But the rate that energy is added is the critical variable.

    Don’t get me wrong, your method is good, but I don’t think the method in the paper only has the advantages you list. The periodic temperature change is important, and they detail precisely why that is.

    Having said all that, I’m certainly not doing this. I’m all about easy and don’t need eggs to be a certain way. I just thought it was neat.

  • What are some gross or disgusting facts about the human body that people aren't aware of?

    Jump

  • I think one’s microbiome has more mass than one’s brain too. So… who is really doing the thinking?

  • AWS Lambda adds support for Rust

    Jump

  • Not really much to do here, but it is good to know. Practically speaking, running Rust in Lambda is exactly the same as it has been for a few years. Only difference is they don’t recommend against it in production. Same runtime, same library.

    Jump

  • How do you pronounce in words the following two references to money: "6½d" and "6s. 6d." from a 1904 text?

    Jump

  • None the richer

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

    Jump

  • Silver or any other somewhat stable precious metal is probably okay too.

  • FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

    Jump

  • The last reply is great.

  • What to you, is always a losing battle?

    Jump

  • It is useful for the group of people that think. It can be helpful to really listen to a differing view, if coming from a thoughtful individual.

    But arguing the existence of angels, shape of the earth, if blacks are whole people, or if women should be treated like individuals with volition, etc… not worth it.

  • Heated Gear Recommendations?

    Jump

  • Yeah it really is. But there are even synthetics that are sufficient here. I’m just saying a base layer is very helpful.

  • Heated Gear Recommendations?

    Jump

  • You are a heater; a really good one. Better clothes will help you store and distribute that heat. If you aren’t wearing a wool base layer, it will be the single greatest change you can make.

  • Does anyone have experience cutting their own hair? Should I cut my own hair?

    Jump

  • If you’re going to try the scissor route, I recommend you aim for messed up. Like anime style, lots of different lengths going lots of directions. Then you might actually do something nifty. If you try to do anything even or any fades, you’ll have a very hard time.

    I shave my head daily in the shower. It feels good, requires no mirror, and always looks consistent. Have been doing it for years.
