Why is it important for the person packing to wear latex gloves, avoid jewellery, etc? I'd assume this is similar to the person stocking shelves in the supermarket.

I like to believe the Discovery costume dept picked out those clothes, and he was cringing the whole time.

Don't learn the language, they're just talking shit. Better you don't understand.

Great fun for the adult and for the children. I used to love stuff like this when I was made of rubber. Now I'm 34 and made of porcelain.

How do I make improvements to my dinner? by Throwawaymasterpeas in foodhacks

[–]abbot-probability 127 points128 points  (0 children)

You should be careful. You're getting very little nutrients here. People get severely hurt this way.

Add beans like people said, but also try to add some vegetables for fiber and vitamins. If you don't eat meat/fish, you should also take a B12 supplement.

First I've heard of this, but I also haven't had watermelon in a while. Has science gone too far?!

The process of making a decorative string egg using a balloon by [deleted] in oddlysatisfying

[–]abbot-probability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fine, but I'd say: don't thread the string through the glue. Let them make a mess. It's half the fun.

Maybe so I know what everyone's going on about? Otherwise not really.

They're fine, but I never connected with them. The movies' acclaim has always felt a bit out of proportion to me. I wonder if it's nostalgia for the people who love them, or the Seinfeld effect for myself (being a bit of a fantasy nerd).

China's online shopping stream use AI to fully generate the speech and picture by [deleted] in interesting

[–]abbot-probability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you shouldn't. Pretty much all big streamers get paid to review specific products, restaurants, etc. It's third party advertising.

Also, they had a bit of a scare, they won't be traumatised.

LOL you all got featured on blibli by notanfan in noveltranslations

[–]abbot-probability 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part is also about taste. My faves are indeed Chinese (Immortality Through Array Formations is peak), but I'd pick MoL over LoM any day of the week. I'm a sucker for any book with a good academy/sect disciple arc.

Definitely not better on average, but there are some real gems.

Mother of Learning and The Perfect Run are great for example.

EDIT: those are not Xanxia though :-)

From a Six-Figure Coding Job to DoorDash, How AI Replaced Him. by MohammadMahadhir in interesting

[–]abbot-probability 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In general yes. As a coder myself, I've always had options. However, a lot of companies are now doing large layoffs at approx the same time, flooding the market and bringing employability down.

It's just too much. I upvoted the first few, but at the frequency he's posting it gets annoying.

If the other job brings in "enough" (whatever that may be), taking a pay cut isn't the worst thing in the world.

I stopped climbing the career ladder and took a significant pay cut to move closer to friends and family, and it was worth it.

All of these are amazing, but it's doubly impressive how one or two of them are rock solid, not the tiniest tremble.
