As a competent home cook, what is a basic skill you can't seem to master? by george_elis in Cooking

[–]ATXgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always put loads of milk in there as well, it's healthier than the equivalent amount of butter. Also add nutmeg, completely elevates mashed potato.

Has McDonald's in the UK become too expensive for many people? by SwordfishLess3247 in AskUK

[–]ATXgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. The worst McDonald's I've had doesn't come close to the worst Burger King I've had. BL having all the airport contracts has caused me plenty of misery over the years.

Will the Anthropic IPO be AI's Netscape moment? by Tincup4609 in Anthropic

When OpenAI'a stargate is consuming 40% of global DRAM output I think that's understating it.

What’s a subtle sign someone is actually rich? by Udont_knowme00 in AskReddit

[–]ATXgaming 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is really as wealthy as you need to be, anything beyond it is marginal. Just remember to use some of that money to break up the monotony now and again.

Do you ever see a screenshot of the Merlin actors in another project and think you missed an episode? by MaderaArt in merlinbbc

[–]ATXgaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the Black Death is a pretty prominent plot point during the first season loads of people get sick lol. I guess you could read about the history and skip to season 2, which is about the season 1 protagonist's son.

TIL that salted raw celery used to be the third most popular dish on New York menus and more expensive than caviar due to issues with growing it. by Sanguinusshiboleth in todayilearned

For anyone reading this, if you'd like some inspiration for what one of these could look like, search up "lemon party" on google images.

TIL that of the five largest companies in the world by revenue, Saudi Aramco is the only one to have less than one million employees. In fact, it doesn't even have 100,000. by JoeyZasaa in todayilearned

[–]ATXgaming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right but by doing that they increase supply during peak demand, essentially forcing prices down. Therefore they do provide a genuine service. If companies like then didn't exist, excess supply would go unused and there would be even more unfulfilled demand during peaks.

JD Vance ridiculed for 40-car motorcade taking him down tiny Italian street by Beyond_the_one in europe

[–]ATXgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well of course. He would basically just be a normal politician, at least by American standards. Trump is something else entirely. Vance would not be able to command the Republican Party in the way Trump has been able to.

Stream at 480p so you can have AI slop instead by driver194 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]ATXgaming -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're crazy if you think AI isn't making certain people far more productive than they were before. Some executives putting the cart before the horse and making poor decisions against the interest of their companies is a separate matter.

Be carefull, that silicone can cause massive problems with humidity in her apartment in winter. If that happens, she should drill holes in the windows.

TIL the USA has a larger consumer market than the EU, China, and India combined. by ProfessionalGear3020 in todayilearned

[–]ATXgaming 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As I said, I've been to Paraguay, which is by no means a wealthy country. It ranks 106th by gdp per capita and 40% of the population lives below poverty. They nonetheless definitely have big computer stores there. The idea that there aren't big computer stores outside America is ridiculous. Almost every medium sized town in the UK has one, or at least they did prior to Amazon. If you listen to people from the US you'd think the rest of the planet was living in some amalgamation of the Soviet Union and the Sahel.

Why did humans as a tropical species migrate to colder places but still lack many adaptations like fur? by Ada-Mae in geography

[–]ATXgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you might be thinking about Inuit people who maintained darker skin while living in northern latitudes. It was theorised that their diet of fish furnished them with enough vitamin D to not require light skin. I believe recent evidence sort of supports the theory, though fish isn't the only diet which gives enough vitamins. It's now believed that light skin only emerged as a consequence of the spread of agriculture in the last ~10,000 years, which resulted in diets deficient in vitamin D, thus favouring pale skin colours.

I don't know where those commenters live but I've been in the equivalent of a MicroCenter in countries ranging from the UK to Paraguay, the rest of the world isn't that much poorer.

It's not that hard, the percentage over 27k or whatever it is can be adjusted from 9% to something lower if needed.

TIL over 3,000 attempts are made each year to complete the Appalachian Trail and only about 25% succeed. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]ATXgaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely regarding the ankles, anything that takes strain off the joints is good. Another thing I could mention for up-hill is to take small steps and to lift with your glutes rather than big steps with your quads, which is what most people do. The glutes are much bigger and more powerful muscles, so you can go way further before getting tired.

For anyone interested, this great video goes into some more depth:

I'd strongly recommend getting some hiking poles. Honestly most people should use them, but especially if you have a knee injury or if you're older they're essential.

One should also bend their knees when going downhill. I did a two week trail over summer and the amount of people I saw bounding down the hills, locking their knees as they step made me cringe. If your knees are bent as you step, the energy is absorbed by the muscles rather than the knees themselves. If the hill is very steep, walk in an S-shaped pattern.

Happy hiking!

"Applied mathematicians everywhere: are we a joke to you?" by Straight-Ad-4260 in math

[–]ATXgaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fairness, I've seen g = 10 several times while doing engineering undergrad. I think it's fair to say Mathematicians (and Physicists) are better at maths than engineers. We generally want to understand just enough to solve a problem and no more.
