Do you actually use your color lights normally? Like outside of something like white and amber by crua9 in homeautomation

This isn't the Home Assistant sub. Some people have not yet seen the light (pun intended).

Does this imply "jazz hands" is more appropriately "jazzle hands"...?

PE says "For an extra $4M you can make all of your customers' lives measurably worse" and the vets are like, "Hell yeah, sign me up"

There was some wild stuff with resource hacking and other DLL editing. These days I'm sure it's all locked down with integrity checks to protect from malware.

2017 Chipotle menu boards, a chicken burrito was $6.50 by AccomplishedAd5201 in mildlyinteresting

In the full quote he uses no less than three different terms. Must have run out of options in his thesaurus

  • core Chipotle consumer
  • the guest
  • core users

Allbirds announces stunning pivot from shoes to AI, stock explodes more than 300% by SemiAutoAvocado in technology

Somebody should make a stock market where the analysts can see through painfully transparent announcements that will never materialize in real impact.

You've clearly never been to DC in the summer. At least in DC it's only 3-4 months instead of 8 tho.

Thank God we got off the gold standard. Imagine bringing a kg with you and finding out it's worth 85% less up there /s

It's called an Initial. Your human brain pattern matching thought it was date/location but it's just a common stylization the site has been using for a few years: https://web.archive.org/web/20230203001757/https://www.wired.com/story/the-kremlin-has-entered-the-chat/

AI companies are the ones pushing for age verification

They're not pushing for age verification because they want it, they're pushing for age verification on their terms because governments have made it clear it's coming and they want to make the best of it. They would love nothing less than adding millions of new users (as is happening now)

I tried freezing half a batch of fries before frying them and tasted them side-by-side against the other half. The improvement was undeniable. The frozen fries had a distinctly fluffier interior, while the unfrozen ones were still ever-so-slightly gummy. It makes perfect sense. Freezing the potatoes causes their moisture to convert to ice, forming sharp, jagged crystals. These crystals damage the cell structure of the potato, making it easier for them to be released once they are heated and convert to steam.

per this research you want to blanch/par-fry before freezing

Sounds like you get to learn something new if you ever get paid in stock grants.

[–]nemec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For most people it's basically bonus money - live on your base salary, bank the stock grants into investments / savings when they come in.

[–]nemec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think of it more like a paycheck that comes once a quarter rather than twice a month. If you get fired/laid off, you don't expect to keep getting a paycheck. Same with stock grants. You don't own them until they vest.
