Cooking

the availability of the internet and a young(er) brain has made learning to cook easier for me. Also I feel like diverse ingredients are easier to come by. They were cooking out of Betty Crocker and their parent’s index card collection.

I successfully made a checklist of work tasks, and checked several of them off

Oh dear, I didn’t know there was tomato for vacuums… depending on how it goes, this knowledge will make you either my new friend or my latest enemy…

PS4 God of War

I’ve been Xbox, Nintendo, PC my whole life, and eventually borrowed a PlayStation during the pandemic to play through some exclusives. I barely got through the tutorial before putting it down for two years. Got a ps5 eventually and gave it another try… and loved it.

My ego is fine! Enjoy.

I said theoretically because I recall it not being proven, and it’s been a while since I read anything on the topic.

It’s mildly amusing that my statement suggested to you anything remotely close to “studied fact”. Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? Enough water? There’s empirical evidence out there that those can help with constipation. Now that’s a studied fact! Be well! 😇

Jokeception

Aluminum sulfate has also been theoretically linked to Alzheimer’s.

$16.25 for a kids size pasta dish?

Did op edit the post? He didn’t mention specific language at all from what I can see now. Or maybe he said so in a comment elsewhere?

Retirement… omg, retirement

I know you said hidden gems, but I’m fairly new, so I admittedly use more popular apps.

• arc browser changed my relationship with the web
• hand mirror for checking that I’m not a hot mess before my next meeting
• karabiner for keyboard tweaking
• tot - dead simple quick note app
• fucking keyboard maestro!!

Sure, but I think there’s still benefit to what the other person did. Search DDG by default, and then if you don’t see good results, it’s one extra click for the google search… vs mousing, clicking, 2 keystrokes…

Hypothetically, ask AI to write a short story in the style of one of these writers. Don’t tell anyone. Get popular, reduce demand for original writer. People only have so much time, after all.

More likely, they just want to be compensated for their “voice”.

Not advocating for either of these… just thinking about why

+1 for Arc!

Arc!

I’m not being skeptical!

Yeah, I’m content with who I am.

Your assumption regarding my goal is wrong though. I took care to explain my thoughts in a way that didn’t deny the possibility outright. No worries if you missed that, or are skeptical.

I think most can agree (even if you don’t) that the chances of this are just wild. That itself was interesting enough to me that I chose to type out 2 comments. I’m told commenting/contributing is the point of being on lemmy?

Anyway, I don’t know who pissed in your wheaties, but I hope your day improves from here.

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s impossible, just incredibly unlikely.

The number of people out there that fit the description of your mother is low.

The number of people that could have intelligently answered the question is a bit higher, but still low.

The likelihood of those 2 people meeting in a store not dedicated to computer tech, and having this exact conversation, is like… monkeys playing Mozart level unlikely. ;)

I don’t have any reason to not trust OP, but the likelihood of this conversation happening at ALL seems incredibly unlikely. Never mind that it is described as successful.

If true, this is amazing.
