This is why both parents should get parental leave. I just took care of all the nights and slept through half the day while my partner handled those hours. Neither of us had to deal with sleep deprivation.

In my opinion, grilled cheeses really need that bit of acidity to be great grilled cheeses.

Pressure cook a whole rotisserie chicken (bones, meat, and all) for 20ish minutes for amazing chicken stock.

Better yet, eat the meat and pressure cook the bones. You still get great chicken stock, and also get to enjoy some good chicken. If one bird doesn’t give you enough bones, freeze it until you accumulate enough.

Having a shitty day-to-day life tends to make minor inconveniences extra infuriating, and vice versa.

That’s easy to do. You just check that the username exists. If someone enters a wrong username/password pair, you can still check that the username exists, but how do you know that the user intended to log in with that username? You would also have to check every other username to see if the password matches, and that can’t be done with a simple search because you need to compute a different hash for each user you check. Then if the username exists and the password also happens to match someone else’s password, then what do you report? Should you even report it? Because doing so reveals that someone had that specific password, and if the list of usernames is publicly available (which they often are, or could become public through a leak of some sort), then you can brute force over a small set of usernames to match them up.

Huh. I always thought this was part of my asthma since exercise-induced asthma is a thing and I usually get this after an intense cardio-heavy session.

I don’t drink coffee, my breakfast is usually a meal replacement shake, and I work from home on most days. I wonder what long series of extremely improbable events would have to happen for me to end up owning any coffee at all and then somehow having it end up in my shaker bottle while I’m on route from the kitchen to my office.

This seems like the same problem that we have with shuffling music, where a truly random shuffle doesn’t feel random; if you make it less random, it ends up feeling more random. Similarly, making a movie less realistic can make it feel more realistic.

It’s especially nice to see a comment go from -5 to +5 after you do so.

Right? Nuclear arms are supposed to be on arm sleeves, not vests.

Bring the money to Canada and build it here!

It’s insane that this happens. I’ve had memberships at six different gyms over my lifetime. For all but one, I’ve had to explicitly tell them that I want to renew, or else the membership gets automatically cancelled at the end of the contract term.

And also have their AIs read another 100 emails for them.

Is one supposed to be better than the other?

Yeah, the reason we don’t have those isn’t technological. We could have it today if we collectively decided that we wanted it.

People who start with preconceptions based on labels can still be swayed. It just becomes an uphill battle of figuring out what they think the label means and dispelling those before getting to the meat of the discussion when you can instead just start on the meat.

I was just talking about the bread that one tier up from the basic grocery store sliced white bread. But yes, when you have actual good bread, the crust is an essential part of the experience.

I think this might be correlated with the type of bread. When you have the really sweet highly processed white bread, the crust tastes very bitter in contrast. With higher quality breads, the crust is just a little dryer, but not too different from the rest of the slice. I never liked bread crust as a kid, nor did my partner. But my kid never complained about crust and this is my hypothesis as to why.

You can just leave milk out at room temperature for a few days and you’ll get yogurt. There’s tons of lactobacilli floating around in the air and on every surface. You might need ants for a specific strain, but you don’t need them if you just want any yogurt.
