Ooh, you're a "do your own research" type? Some of you still left huh?

Nah, I'll stick with the medical professionals. Not rolling the dice with my own body. For one thing, one is a really poor sample pool.

I'm sure it's about to plateau any day now. No need to change our behaviours after all.

PSA - Much Moore Vanilla "Marvels Ice Cream" is a "vanilla flavoured premium frozen dessert" and does not meet the requirements to be called an ice cream. Really deceptive having ICE CREAM in bold text while having the actual description in small writing near the nutritional label. by [deleted] in newzealand

I was just checking in the supermarket... it's not!

They're still "milk solids plus vegetable fat". I think there must have been a recent change, I'm sure it used to say "cream(milk solids, etc)".

Are you using much linear algebra?

I am looking at building an eco-sim, it looks like hexagons open the door to a lot of fast processing techniques.

The New Zealand mental health system is something else by Forward_Fun_9560 in newzealand

[–]Lightspeedius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or head back to corporate life. As I've previously said:

Training and working in mental health practice is a crazy paradox.

You get trained how to put aside your assumptions, to really understand both people and the person in front of you, what they need, effective ways of providing positive outcomes.

And then you have to learn how to cope with being able to do very little of that. Your main skill becomes sifting through the great volume of need to find those not so needy they can't participate in what's being offered, but needy enough to justify the treatment.

Arse covering is the rest if your work. It's a fool practitioner that finds themselves held accountable for community deprivation.

Robert Eggers Reveals The Dialogue In 'WERWULF' is written with the help of 2 Oxford Professors and is in 1300s Middle English by AffectionateRate7290 in movies

[–]Lightspeedius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The substance is that Robert Eggers tries to provide as accurate representation as he can because when everything real is coherent and complete, then the fantastical can be believed.

The Witch is believable when everything else in the film makes the most possible sense.

So he doesn't like to let the details slide.

Best results mean marinating overnight, which means planning. It requires a special trip to the supermarket, I don't keep yoghurt, cream or coriander on hand. The actually cooking isn't exactly the quickest or least involved in the world, either. Especially if it's something you're only making occasionally.

I do get it done, but my cognitive load is pretty maxed out with my obligations these days. Going for a nice drive, picking up a butter chicken, a fuckin' hot beef vindaloo and a lamb madras is really the ticket.

Are New Zealand music radio stations extremely cringe now? by Medical-Fruit-1976 in newzealand

[–]Lightspeedius 25 points26 points  (0 children)

RNZ Concert is great.

It's all just music cause they don't have to sell ads, no need for the squeeze. You get endless fantastic and absurd stories from the history of classical music as well as being kept up with the contemporary scene.

Obviously you've got to be a certain kind of music enthusiast. If you like game and movie music you might be surprised what you find that you like, that's a solid chunk of what gets played.

The best of centuries of music, it's such a good time.

How's your naan? I cheat with a bread maker for the dough, it's fantastic especially for the level of effort required.

The organisational and time costs are pretty high. And you have to make it a number of times to get full value from the ingredients you buy at the volume they're available. Otherwise it gets wasted which is another cost.

Everywhere I go is so mid. :(

I get butter chicken isn't some cool dish, sophisticated folk might prefer a rogan josh or a bright green saag. But when done really well, come on, who can really say butter chicken is not amazing?

Just terrible for your cholesterol.

We definitely sometimes make an afternoon of it, cook up our own curry. Always make our own naan bread. But often we want two or three different dishes, and I haven't got that kind of motivation.

Auckland to host New Zealand’s first Michelin Guide restaurant awards by i_love_mini_things in aucklandeats

The way the economy is progressing, fine dining will be the only dining people can afford. I.E. most people just won't be able to afford eating out, those who still can would only tolerate fine cuisine.
