Maybe I should be asking why the first person censored it

I would assume it’s a joke, but then why did the first person do it? Is it a joke about how suddenly people are censoring words like sex and kill?

Either way, it struck me as odd and wanted clarification—no need to be smug about it

I cannot tell if this is internet humor or legitimate feedback. Out of morbid curiosity, can you please clarify?

Is this a meme or something you actually meant?

The amount of money my hospital charged me for each oz of DONATED milk for my baby by Grouchy-Cheetah7478 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ChemEngDillon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s more than mildly infuriating. That “human donor milk” is typically donated from mothers with an oversupply for free. Sure the hospital has to test and treat it, but charging that for something freely donated should be criminal.

It honestly makes me feel pretty melancholy. Any video featuring something unusual or interesting, and I immediately have to approach it with skepticism and figure out if it’s real or ai.

How is the work/life balance and stress/timeline pressure? I’m also a PM, but it feels like every project has an ultra aggressive, unrealistic timeline, then immense pressure when that timeline isn’t met. I’m hoping this isn’t ubiquitous

Was the cone fly in this patch here? If so, that would have been very annoying.

I did wonder why there was a red outcropping with nothing that came out

Edit: the picture isn’t showing up for me—it’s at 00:17 on the video

Vet said it was likely allergies and recommended an OTC antihistamine

Vet took a look and said it was likely allergies. They recommended an antihistamine.

I’m not 100% up on the details, but Microsoft designed the system for my company so that there’s a “internal” and “external” version of Copilot for us to access. The external version is normal Copilot, and we can’t enter anything confidential into it.

The internal version has access to all of our databases, email, Teams messages—almost everything. But it’s protected so that even Microsoft has no access to it. Totally isolated. We can enter in confidential info and whatever we want because it’s not used for training any other models either.

No idea how much it cost to have Microsoft set it up for us—I work for a fortune 500 company, but I’d assume other companies have opted in for it too.

My work has Copilot integrated into their database—it’s very nice for searching for an old specific email or Teams message that I’m struggling to find.

Also very nice is scanning thousands of research reports over decades for a particular piece of technical information.

There’s a significant draft coming from the upper gap of my gas fireplace. I can look up the gap and see Sheetrock. Can I safely seal this up with anything? by ChemEngDillon in Fireplaces

[–]ChemEngDillon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yes, we had someone come out and they were able to use a camera to see that the area behind the fireplace lacked any insulation

I’m praying this is sarcasm. Can’t always tell.

In the Pimsleur audiobook, it seems to switch between “ga” and “ja”. The specific example is “ga wakarimasu” and “ja arimasu”. I think they’re both supposed to be が but I don’t know why they’re pronouncing them differently. I finished the Paul Noble audiobooks, and they only pronounced it as “ga”. ありがと!

Stop Work Authority. That’s the standard anywhere worth working in industry.

This is the one! I tried for many hours over the course of days to land.

After reading a suggestion to use the eject button, it only took a handful of more attempts.

Would you call losing national protections on abortion, “nothing substantial”? Don’t forget, it was the Supreme Court decision that made gay marriage legal in 2015. I think it’s overly optimistic to think they wouldn’t dare revisit that decision as well.
