I don’t know what this text is going on about. People don’t wash the ‘white shit’ off chicken. Some people think that washing chicken (or poultry in general) reduces the chance of cross contamination due to salmonella. In reality it makes it more likely for cross contamination because it splatters all around your sink and surrounding areas.

It also doesn’t make it taste bland. It’s just useless.

Took a bit to make Gemini understand who I was talking about but this was it’s first result

Sharp wit, keenest eye, Tech truths told with soothing voice, Brownlee’s insights reign.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but just to play devil’s advocate the advertisers too could have been losing money and be happy it was brought to light?

I would bet that there’s a rule that not only says what you said, but redirects people to something like r/askplumbers or whatever for these kind of posts.

I haven’t used reddit regularly since the API exodus, but I was part of plenty of communities like that. Mods can’t allow exceptions because you’ll get regulars complaining about the rule breaking content and new users complaining that their post was removed.

Like you said, they were mostly professional subreddits, but others had similar rules (like r/churning, but they were extra crazy. They’d require all discussion to be in specific threads so the content was less likely to be indexed by search engines).

There was something about the i4 I just didn’t like. I think it was how it felt kind of like an m3 to me. In the sense that if all you care about is going fast, then it’s a great car, but it’s not the luxury of the 5 or 7 series, which is what I think of when I think of BMW.

I’m too old for a car like that, and don’t drive enough to justify the i5 price, so I went economical (in comparison at least) with the mach-e. It’s fun to drive, has enough gitty-up-and-go for me, and it’s comfortable.

Though I got reeeeeeally close to saying fuck it and getting the i5.

Because it’s not that easy. Batteries are big, people want 250+ miles on a charge and battery tech isn’t there for standard sedans and smaller.

I just went through this and ended up with the mach-e (which I’m very happy with) but it still weighs about as much as my minivan (almost 5000lbs).

I just got the Ford Mach-e last weekend and I’m super happy with it.

As someone who has only been training for a couple years, that’s the point, no? Martial Arts is a self defense. The first lesson is always de-escalation and then removing yourself from the situation.

Learning foreign languages can definitely be a hobby.

Started getting into martial arts a few years ago (late in life). Stretch and train almost every day, I’m nowhere near close to being able to do a split. At some point, it definitely takes more than just practice.

I’m not saying it isn’t possible, I’ve seen guys older than me do it, but age, sex and past experience and training definitely play large factors. My wife doesn’t stretch at all, hasn’t exercised on a regular basis since she was in highschool (she was in cheer) and she could get a LOT closer to a full split than I can.

Considering you came here to complain about it, yea.

I don’t know. I find it to be a helpful tool. There’s definitely times it’s wrong (very very wrong sometimes) and there’s sometimes it’s right. It’s up to the user to figure that out.

Maybe I’m old and cynical, but I don’t take anything I read on the Internet, especially something automatically generated, at face value. It’s just another tool I could use to help get to the answer I’m looking for.

If you’re using AI verbatim without looking up answers and verifying results, then that’s on you.

When you Google something, do you take the first result and just assume it’s fact? You shouldn’t for AI either.

Maybe you just need a Snickers?

Can’t figure out if this is a joke or serious, so just in case, you might want to look up what happened to the Library of Alexandria.

That’s kind of the problem, you don’t have to do any research to know Musk’s politics and why he’s a shithead. He makes sure everyone knows it.

It’s one thing to have a political opinion, it’s a whole other thing when you spend 40 billion dollars to make damn well sure everyone knows what it is.

The Mach E is at the top of my list currently. It would be a great replacement for the Model 3. The only thing the Model 3 really has over the Mach E is the range, but since Ford can charge at Tesla chargers, it’s not really an issue.

There’s a bunch of trucks that do reverse charging now. The Rivian R2 supports it, the R1 was supposed to as well but I’m not sure if that OTA update went out yet. So does the new Silverado EV (which is soooo much cooler than the Cybertruck IMO). There’s probably more, but those are the two off the top of my head.

It was something I was also interested in until I realized I really don’t want a truck.
