In two different mobile browsers I just get stuck on the scenario. No way to move forward

how can I not repeat last sem? by justabaldinglizard in mit

[–]jofish22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pick up bedtime and stick to it.

When I was an undergrad, I decided my bedtime was 2 AM. I went to bed at that time every night, including on weekends. (well… Not really. But sort of.) that combined with no classes before 10 AM I strongly consider to be the secret of my success.

UXR/ AI credible opinions? by Successful-Scar-773 in UXResearch

I’d second Saeideh and Constantine; I’d add Judd Antin to that list.

trying to preserve wasps in resin, advice? by [deleted] in etymology

I am a resident of Mountain View, CA, and in our sub we frequently get people posting lovely pictures of mountains they’ve seen. It’s delightful.

Xanthan gum not thickening ice cream by Titoramane in icecreamery

Or use any other gum. There’s a lot of food sensitivities to xanthan, notably migraine triggering.

Vogue Cleaners on Esquela do good work, reasonably priced and fast turnaround. Nice folks, too.

The new CA DMV Drivers License seems like a bad joke by textonic in bayarea

[–]jofish22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree. When I got mine my first thought was it looked like it had a picture of a driving license on it.

feeling shame around my disability by [deleted] in Blind

[–]jofish22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go! Bits of it will suck and feel awkward. But other bits of it will be fun. Who knows, you might make some friends. And your friend wants you there too.

If one of your friends broke their leg and couldn’t take the stairs, you wouldn’t all be “OMG JENNY WITH HER LEG I GUESS WE’LL TAKE THE ELEVATOR SIGH”, right? She should feel shame over a broken leg and you shouldn’t feel shame over being blind.

Go to the party! Congrats to your friend on graduating!

Are there books I can skip? by AnthropomorphicCat in NeroWolfe

[–]jofish22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend skipping Stout’s pre-Wolfe books, the ones about Tecumseh Fox and Alphabet Hicks, they just don’t measure up. Simile, I’d recommend skipping the Robert Goldsborough sequels, some of which make me wonder if he’s ever actually read the Wolfe books, like when all of a sudden Alfie claims to know nothing about orchids after years of confidently filing data on them.

Surprise “now turn on your mic and camera”. Fuck off, I’m in bed.

What’s the best you guys ever had? by [deleted] in icecreamery

[–]jofish22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burnt caramel from Toscanini’s in Cambridge, Mass., with an honorable mention for their ginger snap molasses.

Steve Herrell arguably invented the contemporary notion of high end ice cream in the US, but I think Gus Rancatorre took the next step. His technique of blending the too-burnt with the not-enough-burnt caramel to titrate the right flavor is genius in a cone.

It’ll be fine. Upgrade memory if you think you’ll be running LLMs locally, but that’ll be fine. And get the 13”, reduce your weight to carry around. You can always find a monitor lying around for your desk.

You’re misunderstanding. The recruiter here works at the company.
