  • Aparently they didnt hate him enough to vote against him.

  • Hah. Ok. I'd heard about rice being "super high risk" in the past, and your comment encouraged me to look into it a little more.

    Firstly, obviously this, nor my earlier comment is not "advice". I'm not sat here advising people to eat toxic rice. Everyone is responsible for their own decisions. I don't care what everyone else is doing, I'm merely curious as to how my we manage to avoid getting food poisoning from every meal.

    Now, I don't eat rice. I've been following a carbohydrate restricted diet for years because I have T2D. My partner is the boss about rice in our house. Yes, she's from south east asia. We're team thai-grown-jasmine when it comes to rice.

    We also live in a mild climate, so in our kitchen during winter it would probably be 12 degrees celsius for 12 hours or so overnight, and rarely exceed 22 degrees celsius during the day. During summer there's an additional 4 degrees to those numbers. We don't use any heating or cooling in our house. I feel like this is certainly relevant.

    I actually just called her to check on the timeframe she would follow. It's more nuanced than I had previously considered. She said that in winter she would still eat rice after 36 hours at room temperature. However (!) based on my own observations I think the texture has become more rubbery by that time, so while she might do that on occasion I don't think it's that common. I think she just naturally cooks enough for this meal and the next meal, but sometimes there's some left over.

    She also said that in summer 24 hours is probably the limit.

  • Confirmation bias.

  • Yeah i sure as shit do not know.

    He has no redeeming qualities and seems to make the worst possible choice at every juncture but he inevitably seems to fail upwards.

    I have a few observations.

    He lies about everything all the time with no shame. As in, reality doesn't matter it only matters what people hear you say.

    He's always the centre of attention. He's always doing something controversial and is constantly on everyone's mind.

    He's offensive. He offends the sensibilities of every rational person. Everything he says makes half the world feel exasperated and frustrated and angry, while the other half chuckles along because hes made the leftards angry.

    He thinks and talks like an uneducated boomer, and that makes other uneducated idiots feel validated rather than feeling stupid.

  • I have less than no faith that American courts can deliver justice. Like they're unashamedly corrupt and follow party lines.

    Its just not possible for an American court to convict a republican for their crimes.

  • That doesn't sound right to me.

    Rice is serious business in our house.

    All rice cookers will switch to a "keep warm" setting after the normal cooking cycle.

    I don't think it's hot enough to prevent the growth of bacteria, although I'm not sure about that.

    It is hot enough for the rice to start to dry out. After a few hours it would be "tough" instead of "soft and fluffy". After 24 hours it would be inedible.

    As I said we just leave it at room temperature in the rice cooker and heat it up in the microwave as necessary. The texture and taste and... toxicity I guess, is fine for 36 hours. So if you cook it this morning then use it all before tomorrow evening.

  • Meat eater, cooler climate in Australia.

    We generally put things in the fridge but are also pretty casual about leaving things out.

    There's a lot of variables that would effect my inclination to consume something that had been left out for whatever period of time.

    Cooked Rice is almost a perfect growth medium for bacteria. My Mrs cooks a batch in the rice cooker, doesn't refrigerate it, but consumes it all within 36 hours. That said, it has just been boiled so you're starting with almost no bacteria.

    Dairy is the worst. Letting milk get to room temperature and leaving it for a half hour or so is going to dramatically reduce it's lifetime even if you put it back in the fridge afterwards.

  • They're in a growth stage.

    I don't agree with them, but venture capitalists believe they are inventing a god, and that the first to achieve it will enjoy never before seen power, control, and ultimately wealth.

  • This is a really odd take.

    you're 401k is being invested while the market is down

    Sure but you just lost half your 401k, including half of what was invested while the market was overpriced.

    When unemployment is high, [...] That results in lower rates for consumer loans. So people that have stable jobs [...] can take out loans

    Yes, but lenders also tighten their criteria during these times because even a stable job is dramatically less stable during a recession or depression. It's very difficult to borrow money in an economic downturn.

    When the market recovers, you've had years of experience

    Sure but if the market didn't collapse you would still have those years of experience. During a collapse fewer people will have consistent employment.

    It's a grind but at least they didn't end up drug addicts and alcoholics like so many others

    Not sure where you were going with this part.

    The universal economic truth is, in times of economic uncertainty the working class does the heavy lifting.

  • Yes but my point is, a brick layer isn't the best person to ask about the future of housing.

  • I'm not American and I dont understand this part.

    What do they need the democrats to do in order to pass the budget?

  • I feel like someone working at the pointy end of R&D in AI isn't necessarily well placed to predict the future of AI.

  • Is that because they're so focussed on growth and advancement though?

    Right now there's no incentive for efficiency. The focus is using venture capital to grab market share by implementing new products.

    If suddenly everyone realised that the new iterations are more costly without any new functionality, the focus would switch and it might be worthwhile.

    Right now, you can buy a $500 GPU, and run an LLM locally that can help you draft documents or code or transcribe audio. If that were scaled up to a subscription service surely it could be reasonably priced, yet profitable.

  • Can you elaborate on managing "steady good work"?

  • Removed

    Tired of Microsoft?

  • I didn't realise that's what reactOS was. I thought it was associated with react the js lib.

    That really is impressive.

    That said, I feel like binary compatibility isn't as relevant as it was 30 years ago. Linux has everything I need.

  • Yes, you absolutely will be effected.

    In a general way, the plebs always do the heavy lifting - a universal truth since the dawn of time.

    More specifically, your pension / 401k will lose a heap of money.

    As the economy contracts there will be lay offs.

    That means loan defaults, et cetera.

  • Dude. You seem incapable of understanding the point I was trying to make.

  • What ?

    I didn't "discard" it, it's just not a pertinent inclusion. I also didn't mention geothermal power, or wheelbarrows.

    It doesn't matter what type of power is plugged into data centres. Turning them off would reduce coal power consumption.

  • Is a hidden feature still a feature?

    I've been using this daily for many years. It's behind a CLI flag, is that hidden ?
