It was part of usenet, the earliest, plain text internet forums. I guess in a way a precursor to Lemmy and reddit, and alt.coffee was its equivalent of a community/subreddit for coffee nerds. (I’m showing my age!) Long before enshittification was even a gleam in a billionaire’s eye.
I’d like to believe I do it every time I recognize that I am wrong. Equally as important, I think, it to constantly admit, to yourself, and to others where appropriate, that you could be wrong.
The fallibility of human memory and reasoning is enormous, even for very smart people. I think few people properly appreciate this. If you develop that appreciation it is really trivial to admit you are wrong, it’s like admitting that you ate.
Hi Cool hobby! Thanks for sharing your cache. I used to roast (just for personal use). Were you by any chance on alt.coffee back in its heyday?
I’m going to have to choose to be the intelligent person. You might think the idiot has it easy…they may even not know they are an idiot. But they could be so stupid they also think all the intelligent people are idiots, so they might get all the frustration of thinking they are the intelligent person on a team of idiots while actually being the opposite.
Bad posture can be the result of muscles holding onto dysfunctional tension. The problem might not be that muscle X is too weak, but that your body (really your motor sensory system) has developed the idea that holding tension in muscle Y is normal.
There are exercises or “movements” geared for this. Try looking up “somatics.” It worked for me.
This is the diet for me. I had to look up Ricciarelli and it sounds just like an Italian cookie I love, except what I’m familiar with are horseshoe shaped. I’ve also had a very similar pinole version.
I just use kid3 to check and fix the tags on each album as I get it.
I largely agree with this, but I would emphasize that you are trying to learn about the reaction. What triggers it. What you feel. In some cases you might not ever be able to change this reaction entirely, but you may be able to learn to keep your self out of situations where you have this reaction, or notice when you are heading towards it and try to defuse it.
The biggest negative effect of such a thing is usually on others and on relationships. A key element around this is to communicate. To help the person that you snap at understand the reaction also, and of course to apologise for it.
Doesn’t it use whatever the desktop is using? I assume this really means that if the desktop is using Wayland, it directly uses Wayland libraries instead of some x11 adapter?
People with money think that the natural born working class will actually do all the jobs the immigrants did for the same low wages.
Natural born working people think there are reasonably paying jobs they would actually want to do being taken up by immigrants that will suddenly become available to them.
They are both laughably mistaken.
BTW I am talking about voters here. Cynically manipulative politicians don’t need to believe anything, they say what is useful to them.
Assuming you mean better than the original, this makes no sense. It seems like you are trying to apply criteria that apply to something that is a capture of the real world, like a photograph or recording, where what is captured is limited by simple quantitative factors like numbers of pixels and shades of color, and light levels.
Art like the Mona Lisa is not a simple snapshot of some real original, and that same criteria does not apply. It is valued for the art and nuances in the use of the media, and its affect on the viewer, not for some objective closeness to some real world original. If you made a version of the Mona Lisa that was more like a photograph of Leonardo’s model, it would be considered worse, not better.
Pretty sure this is not most acoustic guitars.
And definitely don’t get an inkjet washer, they cost you a fortune in detergent cartridges.
Good point. Funny, I was completely forgetting about the instant ramen, even tho I used to live on that stuff in college.
Do as I say, not as I do, but… Make more social connections.
If I’m not mistaken, ramen is kind of considered fast food in Japan. By American standards, I consider it kind of healthy.
When in doubt, throw it out, but if a thing looks and smells and tastes fine it probably is.
But this assumes some experience. Like I know from experience that if dairy tastes fine to me, it really is fine. I will taste off flavors in milk long before it bad enough to make me sick. And sometimes dairy can last way beyond its use-by date. How cold your fridge is has a huge effect, but there is also much luck-of-the-dice around microbes getting in.
But something like, say, potato salad which might have flavors that vary and could cover up something going off… I will throw that out if it gets old or I’ve lost track of how old it is.
I asked an LLM, and it confirmed they don’t know anyone like that.
I’m not sure how I was specifically talking about crystalized knowledge. People can be flawed in applying any mental skill. And various forms of intelligence come into play in various ways in navigating the nuances or reality, or failing to.
Knowing or not knowing a fact is the simplest to see and talk about, so it probably dominates conversations about intelligence, sure.
