  • What tourist destinations do you think are NOT overrated?

    Jump

  • Most national parks. Especially Yellowstone is amazing.

  • The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling

  • Right? Imagine if you were to come into the comments and there are 50 comments but you can only read them 10 at a time.

    What do you use to download YouTube videos?

    Jump

  • Yt-dlp. I've used it for years, no problems. You can find guis for it if you don't want to use command line.

  • Another article personifying an LLM as if it actually has intelligence and awareness.

  • What do you think about AI?

    Jump

  • It's simultaneously awesome and overhyped.

  • I never really hated my job or anything, and before COVID we even had an option to work from home one day a week, but I never bothered with it. But when I went to working from home full time, my quality of life improved significantly. Just driving to work used to be the most stressful part of my day, and eliminating that makes me so much happier. Not having to constantly "look busy" is also huge. As long as I get my work done my boss is happy. I also used to have bad neck and back pain which went away when I started work from home. Even though we have supposedly "ergonomic" setups at work, I guess something about it wasn't working for my body. I love working from home so much now that I would more readily accept a pay cut than to have to go back to the office.

  • What technologies are constant failures but we can't stop trying to make work?

    Jump

  • VR has given us an incredible amount of funny videos where the user will decide to run full speed into a wall or something. That and "hoverboards" have kept America's Funniest Home Videos on the air.

  • AI controls is coming to Firefox

    Jump

  • When did Firefox take away a choice that was previously offered?

  • What's one lifestyle or hobby you wish you got in to but never did?

    Jump

  • Brushing your teeth takes 2 minutes. They tell you to spend a whole 30 minutes a day working out. 30 minutes of boredom, discomfort, pain and agony.

    Are there any good local AI translators?

    Jump

  • Does anyone have any advice for young adults that are struggling in life?

    Jump

  • You really don't know what the future holds, so don't get bogged down planning too far ahead. Set yourself some achievable goals for the near future. It's ok to have some vague plans for the distant future, but keep in mind that there is a good chance that your future could look very different than what you imagine it might be.

  • How do people manage to play Rock, Paper, Scissors so quickly?

    Jump

  • I think it's just practice. I also need time to think through what's happening, but I have only played it a few times in my life. I'm not used to it.

    We start out slowly with any new things. Then you do it a lot, over and over, and you don't have to think about it anymore.

  • NY Orders Apps To Lie About Social Media Addiction, Will Lose In Court

    Jump

  • Regardless of the scientific consensus, what's the point? It sounds like all this will achieve is another annoying pop-up similar to the cookie popups that we get now due to the European law. It's just a way to wave your hands and claim to be doing something without actually addressing any of the problems of social media.

  • What paid software is absolutely worth the money?

    Jump

  • But it's free.

  • Ignoring the internet bill itself, how many paid online services do you have?

    Jump

  • The only subscription I pay is Netflix (the cheapest one). We watch it enough that is worth keeping around. I guess I technically also have web hosting and a domain name, but I pay those for a few years at a time.

  • What's your kinda-unimpressive 'claim to fame'?

    Jump

  • I took a picture that appeared in a Nintendo Power.

  • I just got randomly subscribed to another YT channel without my knowledge, this has happened several times in the past, I know that more people have seen this, but does anyone know the reason?

    Jump

  • I've never had that happen. Check your account logins to see if your Google account is compromised.

  • Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan?

    Jump

  • Cast iron pans are fucking heavy. As soon as I tried picking one up, I knew I don't want to cook with that on a regular basis.

    I have gone through several non stick pans and they all suck because they will wear out relatively quickly. Eventually things will start to stick, and then you are in trouble because you have to treat them gently to avoid scraping off the nonstick coating, so you end up in a catch 22 situation where you can't actually scrub stuff off without making it worse.

    I switched to a stainless steel pan about a year ago and I love it. The weight is somewhere in between cast iron and most nonstick pans. I've never had anything get horribly stuck to it, and it's not difficult to clean because you can use abrasive sponges or whatever without damaging it.

  • Yet another reason to be skeptical of reviews is that they are heavily weighed towards first impressions. So if someone gets a product and it works great, they might go and immediately leave a glowing review for it. But if it breaks 6 months later due to poor manufacturing quality, a lot of people aren't going to go back and update their review.
