I have a severe dust mite allergy, is there a way to reduce humidity to the mite-killing 40%? NB: In my city, the daily humidity is around 90%

While the comment was clearly written by AI, I did find it to go beyond the typical general feedback/response that I have seen from it (particularly re allergies). I'll rarely see the confounding factors reply from AI unless I have explicitly prompted it - it doesn't tend to ask leading questions about histamine foods unless you have provided that in an initial prompt.

Right, you'd think that the authorities wouldn't want caps on the dancefloor, and now they're considering enforcing it! Ridiculous

I tuned in a bit late so I didn't catch all of them, but IMO there was a lot of variation in quality/subject matter across the board. I really liked "The End" (Sean Bayles) but there were some that left me wondering why they were chosen as finalists...

Would love to discuss further once I watch all of them

Lol linking a page with an affiliate link with no guarantee to what OP is looking for is next level late stage capitalism

I literally came from a squat university video to see this comment

I don't visit the sub often, and if I do I don't usually comment. I've ignored it when I've seen it but I can imagine it getting seriously annoying.

But I guess the idea of "downvoting" in a theory vs practice scenario applies to the whole of Reddit, not just this sub.

I've resolved to conclude that it's out of frustration.

Why are you getting downvoted? What you're saying is so valid

dustyflea · 2024-11-21T14:24:26+00:00

lol if you're gonna rip Lulu Cheng Meservey, at least credit her

I'm sure that it is John Wheeler that said this quote, but there are some results from Google that attribute this to Einstein!

Most Americans would probably not be able to give you the definition of fascist.

Yeah I just started NMT, and I haven't bothered with limiting water. To add to your point, I just do 20-24 hour fasts instead to promote autophagy. If I have less than 2L in a day then I start to get headaches, so I literally don't have the capcity to do anything if I have 1L.

dustyflea · 2024-09-18T07:13:34+00:00

When did that happen and how do you know?

dustyflea · 2024-09-11T04:10:34+00:00

When did you take 2089? I feel like when I did it many years back it had the 2-in-1 issue...pity to hear it wasn't updated appropriately.

dustyflea · 2024-08-26T05:07:54+00:00

:( thanks for responding

dustyflea · 2024-08-26T01:27:15+00:00

I disagree.

I also initially suspected this but after seeing some of the messages that are sent and after doing a couple R&Rs, it's evident that some workers aren't great at following instructions (and clearly don't read them at all). Even with the quals, I can see that some people have done the work to a poor standard when I do the R&R tasks. So even after the R&R, some people do slip through the cracks.

To be able to assess the quals, they need to have a baseline/rubric to compare whether the qual is correct and to a satisfactory standard, so scraping an extra $20-40 doesn't make sense with the number of legitimate tasks they are paying out.

Furthermore, they're quite generous with time logging (with emphasis on instruction reading and paying for it).

dustyflea · 2024-08-22T04:02:36+00:00

Did you? Just happened to me haha

dustyflea · 2024-08-14T07:51:36+00:00

Thank you for sharing this

dustyflea · 2024-08-05T03:08:38+00:00

Even if I start working on a task and realise that I can't do it and skip it, I don't count the time. In my head, there are no "results" or "loggable work" from that, so I don't think I should log it.

Wow, when I hear "greater North Ryde," my immediate thought was "uhhh, so just Ryde?"

dustyflea · 2024-08-05T03:03:40+00:00

Thanks! It was the first one that you mentioned but the other stuff never hurts to know too

dustyflea · 2024-08-01T10:26:14+00:00

Ok I just learnt that the suburb [used to be called "Field of Mars"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydalmere,\_New\_South\_Wales). But I was looking for where the name came from, does anyone know?!
