I married at 18 and became a father just a year later. Been married 25 years, I and still cherish every wake-up next to my gal.

I’m not saying if you should or shouldn’t, at all. What I’m saying is sometimes, you know. Not that it will work, but that you’re ready to work for it. That’s it. You want to put the work in? If so, it might be the best time ever available to you. But it isn’t easy.

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.

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

They’re still alive and kicking.

Johnny has been hit or miss for me over the years, mostly good though. But his works recently on wealth and politics have been superb.

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.

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’m an old man who just got a dog last year for the first time since I was a boy. I thought I didn’t want one because it required extra, unnecessary responsibility. Also, because the whole “have to feed them with many animals” thing. Setting that last bit aside, I had no idea how much these cuddles meant to mental health. Affection with my number one homie daily brings me more joy than anything else I can imagine.

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

Parenting

And then force the child into quiet in the name of atheism? That “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It isn’t a religious problem that people harm others; that’s an animal problem. But it very is a religious problem that the faith is used to silence accountability, and for that fuck religion.

The UCMJ is a huge part of training and members know they are able to refuse unlawful orders. The trouble is distinguishing what is unlawful. They certainly don’t have international law degrees and nobody can be fully up to speed on all treaties and mutual aid agreements.

Suggesting something open to doubt isn’t debatable is just not knowing what the word means. There are dictionaries available to the public.

Suggesting the device is underpowered in all contexts is just silly. If I want a device to play Stardew Valley, Braid or some other game with very different people requirements than Cyberpunk, it may not be underpowered… to me.

I get that you’re one of those people that just can never ever accept they are maybe making an objective statement about a subjective value, but you should introspect a bit. You said it wasn’t debatable. We have debated. I doubt your position. End of story.

If you want to compare this to flat earth, fine. Rest assured, nobody will likely find and follow this thread.

FWIW, I think I probably agree with some of your sentiment. It would be better if more powerful. It is underpowered for many of the modern generation of games, etc. Not for you. No problem. Maybe others will like it. ¯\(ツ)/¯

You don’t seem to understand that “underpowered” requires context. Nor do you that what we’re having here is a debate, thus making it debatable nevertheless.

Yes I agree, if we can move the goalposts where ever we want, you might have a point for your own narrow view. But there will be people that believe what it delivers to be suitable for playing the games they want to play, in which case it won’t be underpowered. Which means its status as underpowered… is debatable.

No, I meant precisely what I wrote. The point being that if it were $4, “underpowered” would be an absurd way to describe it, because value is a function of cost versus benefit, where benefit is subjective.

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.

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

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.

If one really wants perfect, they should read Periodic cooking of eggs from the journal Nature earlier this year. Everybody that has implemented it, claims it works great.

For the periodic method, scientists alternated submerging the eggs for two minutes in boiling water at 100 C (212 F) and lukewarm water at 30 C (86 F). This cycle was repeated eight times for 32 minutes.
