If you have a pressure cooker (like an instant pot) then doing hard boiled eggs in that makes them incredibly easy to peel

Been on it for about 7 months now. I started taking it as I noticed thinning at the front, the crown was already thinning, but I can’t see it so I don’t care. I feel happier in my hair, I have less than I did when I was in my 20’s but it has stopped the loss and allowed for some recovery.

I really had to think hard about going on it. My family has a history of depression, and I’ve been able to escape it. My biggest worry is that it would trigger some kind of depression. I’ve not had any issues in this area thankfully!

My willy still functions perfectly too, so I’m not aware of any side effects, and I’ve seen hair retention and regrowth. The first couple of months I did experience some shedding, but it wasn’t bad. It’s satisfying seeing some little sprouts of hair reappear.

Have a “sorting hat” that will assign people to an instance based on their interests could be good.

Monster Train 2 if you like card games. It’s got a load of content and replay and they recently released a patch today to add more!

it is useful as a sort of better google, like for things that are documented but reading the documentation makes your head hurt so you can ask it to dumb it down to get the core concept and go from there

I agree with this point so much. I’m probably a real thicko, and being able to use it to explain concepts in a different way or provide analogies has been so helpful for my learning.

I hate the impact from use of AI, and I hope that we will see greater efficiencies in the near future so there is less resource consumption.

I’m not advocating for American chlorinated chicken, but I’m not sure our chicken is to a much higher standard. Over the last few years I’ve noticed a decline in the quality of our chicken from white striping to woody breast. I guess this is caused by them using breeds that grow quickly.

Not just the notes, but I feel like they put more effort into making sure the text doesn’t blend with what is on screen. Instances on Netflix of some shows where there will be white text with a white background, and the text has no drop shadow or black border.

I don’t know a great deal, but his stance on the Russia/Ukraine war concerns me.

When I originally saw this report on another source, the key standout for me was how many people were beaten by the AI, and the fact the winner was 5% ahead, which really is a small margin. It was being touted as “Yay we beat the AI!” without acknowledging that there were a lot of people that lost to it.

I joined Lemmy during the Reddit API change. It was pretty dead on Lemmy but communities were forming and I could have discussions with others, it felt promising. But sadly the reality now is it feels like Lemmy is becoming an echo chamber like Reddit was and conversations are stifled.

In addition to this some people immediately engage others in a negative way, where someone may be misinformed or misunderstood, and rather than offer knowledge or insight they are called fucking idiots.

It doesn’t feel like a community.

Using uBO, but have noticed a slightly longer delay of a few seconds between hitting play and the video starting, but I can deal with that over being forced to watch 30s of ads.

Back when I was managing a team, we had a new guy that I was on-boarding. I’d run the. Through all standard procedures and then get them to shadow others in the team, then swap so they are being shadowed and guided.

One day I told him to pair with someone in the team for an afternoon. At the end of the day I took him into the training room and asked him how things had gone. He had a big smirk on his face and said “I know why you had me shadow R”, and with a returning smile I said “and why was that?”, “because you wanted me to see how not to do the job.”

The new guy had hit the nail on the head, the person he was shadowing was a huge under performer and was due to go on a performance improvement plan after repeated attempts to give guidance. Anyway I didn’t confirm that is why I did it, but I’m glad that the new guy had come away thinking that, it showed that the training up to that point had been working.

I’m so envious that you have it as a job and a hobby. When I started coding I’d hoped I’d be one of those people that just whips up stuff in their free time for fun, but after finishing work I just find myself not wanting to code 😔

They are updating the app at some point, which is removing the watch together feature. I wonder what else may disappear.

This sounds great, what did you go for?

Is the free plan once a fortnight with even more marketing pamphlets thrown through the door?

No harm in messaging them just to say thank you.

If you’ve just stepped out of uni into an internship you still have a lot to go, but getting through college, uni and into an internship is an achievement in itself. They won’t be disappointed, they will probably be proud that the work they did encouraged you to stay in education for as long as you did!

Perhaps a modal the first time someone visits that shows the different UI options and directions on where to switch

I too can vouch for one of these. Great for removing a lot of fur. Anything left over I have to use a lint roller.
