English has at least 5 (French, Germanic, Greek, Latin, Arabic, doubtless more) and it’s up to the user to know which is used in any given context. Or not. It’s really kind of stupid.

Not even jeans, or discussing not pooping. Then again, that last one seems to be off base for this sub, too…

This was sold by Foveon, which had some interesting differences. The sensors were layered which, among other things, meant that the optical effect of moire patterns didn’t occur on them.

Did your dream self say, “At least it isn’t InstaCart”?

Part of how scissors are design is for there to be a natural tendency to pull the blades together when you press with your thumb.

On a reladed note, if you’re left-handed, get a pair of left-handed scissors. There are two reasons for this. First, you will be amazed at how much easier it is to cut with the correct scissors. Second, you can have your friends who don’t think having the correct scissors is a big deal try them and see how wrong they are.

Well, I’m in Canada, so the standards are already higher as far as quality goes, and our regulatory agency is still in place for oversight. I’d say it’s worth it for them to keep the quality up so product lasts longer, but I’m sure some bean counter will figure out a reason for how allowing the milk to spoil sooner makes the company a buck, so we’ll see.

Option number 4. The sanitary standards for packaging milk are very high in North America. This drastically reduces the risk of contamination after pasteurization, which allows our milk to last quite a while. It isn’t as sterile as UHT milk, but it tastes more natural.

They had milk in 1.3 L bags (sold in packs of 3 for 4 L) in Manitoba about 35 or 40 years ago.

This doesn’t appear to be made by the people from either the Raspberry Pi Foundation or Raspberry Pi Holdings.

And more approachable! All the chimps have access to assholes and grass. No one has to feel left out, as long as they leave it in!

Yeah, I’d hope ancient enmities wouldn’t lead to modern problems, but it’s funny watching some people treating the indigenous people’s like a single entity, or like there weren’t fights between groups.

…that will start some fights…

Bad setup isn’t a reason why something is a bad idea. Whatever your opinions of cars are, talking about how bad they would be if everyone drove drunk doesn’t really prove your point.

In any security system, and this should also apply to home automation, one of the things you have to account for is failure. If you don’t have a graceful failure mode, you will have a bad time. And context matters. If my security system fails at home, defaulting to unlocked doors makes sense, especially if it’s due to an emergency like a fire. If the security system in a virology lab fails, you probably don’t want all the doors unlocked, and you may decide to have none of the doors unlocked, because the consequences of having the doors unlocked is greater than having them locked. Likewise, but of a much less serious nature, if your home automation fails, you should have some way of controlling the lights. If you don’t, again, it hasn’t failed gracefully.

You’re still not getting it. A proper smart home will know when you want certain things. You’re going into the bathroom to get ready for work, the lights are programmed for full intensity. In the middle of your sleep period, they go to the pre-programmed dim mode. And most rooms will be used in certain ways, as defined by you. If you’re in the living room and turn the TV on the lights dim, because that’s what you told it to do. You have an EV to charge, it knows how much time your EV needs to charge and how much electricity costs you during certain periods. So you plug the car in and it charges it when you want it to so you are ready when it’s time to go to work. This is where smart homes start to shine - they do all the usual things you would do if they weren’t so complicated and all the default things you would normally do, and you just live your life and deal with the exceptions as needed. If you use a room 3 different ways, you set up those 3 different ways and make the typical one your default. Now you’re back to exceptions. And the more rules you have to how you do things, the better it works for you. And most people have a preferred way they want things, modified by how much it takes to get there and other circumstances. With the right sensors, timers, etc., most of those can be accounted for.

So maybe you start with lights turning on when you enter the room, but if you do it right you get to the point where you barely think about lights at all - they’re just how you want them to be. Why would you not want that? However little effort lights take to manage, why do you want them to take any effort at all? And there are many more things than lights, some of which just make life easier, or more comfortable, or cheaper, all of which are good reasons to want this.

Quality post!

😅 All good. About 10% of people think cilantro tastes weird, and describe it differently from those who like it, often saying it tastes like soap. I’m in that category, and it’s probably genetic.

I was a little surprised by the down votes, and honestly don’t care if other people like it (don’t really care about the downvotes, either). I’m more concerned about the people who say it tastes like soap and still want to eat it. And I miss the fuck cilantro subreddit.

If they ramp up production and the bottom falls out of AI, they could be left with large product reserves, and people may still be reluctant to buy. One way to increase demand is to lower prices. Now, if they are the only company in this position, things may not change much. But if more than one are, the other can supply the market at a price that’s acceptable to them and the consumers.

Or those companies can collude and just completely fuck over customers. But that would never happen, right?

I can’t think of a better reason to not like something than a genetic quirk, but apparently others disagree. That’s okay, I can accept that the majority is wrong.

Looks okay, but #FuckCilantro

Voyager needs to support this. It will be beautiful. 🌽
