Recently my friend was trying to get me to apply for a junior dev position. “I don’t have the right skills,” I said. “The biggest project I ever coded was a calculator for my Java final, in college, a decade and a half ago.”
It did not occur to me that showing up without the skills and using a LLM to half ass it was an option!
The owner followed her out of the store and restrained her over ¥180? Where do people even find the energy to turn these kinds of petty disputes into full-blown confrontations?
It’s a US label and the percents are % of recommended daily intake. So that’s 3% of your daily recommended carbohydrate intake, 6% of your daily recommended intake of sugar, and 12% of your daily recommended intake of “added” sugar. The recommendation is something like, no more than half of your carbs should come from sugar, and no more than half of those should be added during manufacturing (i.e. most of your sugar intake should be from fresh fruit, etc.). So the numbers do line up.
Right, but… what does it have to do with Jeeps showing in-car advertisements?
I don’t understand how this is related to the Streisand Effect. The Streisand Effect is when you try to suppress unflattering info about yourself, and in the process you call attention to it, so now everyone knows. But we didn’t learn about this through Jeep trying to suppress the info, we just learned about it from people who saw the ads.
What can I say, I aim to please!
I mean, this is clearly a bit, but I don’t think addicts smoke exactly one cigarette a day. Some people who smoke small amounts never become addicted. I used to smoke, like, half a pack over a few weeks, forget where I left it, and then go months without smoking. Haven’t smoked at all in probably eight years now, not because I intentionally quit but just because I couldn’t be assed to carry them around any more. (I really only started buying cigs so that I could stop telling people I didn’t smoke when they asked to bum one.)
Revanced still works. If yours stopped working, download the latest patches and make an updated .apk.
Oh phonics is the old one (although it’s making a comeback). The “new” one that they’ve been promoting for a couple decades (and have recently realized isn’t very good) is cueing, the one where you just show kids words and encourage them to use context clues to guess what they mean, and hope that they eventually learn to read by doing that. Phonics is the one where you start with letter (and letter group) sounds and learn to sound out words by reading out loud.
She hated the concept of… teaching what sounds letters make? Was she a big proponent of cuing, or something else?
Yes, I think so. I also did Hooked On Phonics with my grandfather before starting kindergarten which meant I could already read by the time we started school. This was in Texas in the early '90s.
If you call someone “daddy,” it means you’re having sex and you consider them to be the dominant partner in the relationship (or are roleplaying that for sexual reasons). Your language partner is being a creep.
There is some very old slang, “daddy-o,” which isn’t sexual and would be used with a friend, but using it makes you sound like a jazz musician from the 1940s.
My friend tried to convince me to get into bitcoin early and I didn’t bother, I thought it was just a fad, like my mom “investing” in Beanie Babies.
He spent all his on drugs before the price took off though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn’t have trouble keeping him alive until I reached what I think is the second half of the game and could no longer keep myself alive, so it kind of didn’t matter at that point.
I should play it again with a combat capable character and see if I can finish it. I was playing a talky doctor who didn’t meet the strength requirement for any decent guns…
Isn’t every baby a meat baby?
I thought our eyes worked by projecting some kind of energy beam that scanned objects, like how Superman’s X-ray vision is sometimes drawn.
“Original” as in it has original ideas, or “original” as in it’s not part of an established franchise? If it’s the latter, I saw The Wild Robot in theaters. It was okay. A bit by-the-numbers, and I’m not sure everything made total sense, but it’s a kid’s movie so that was to be expected.
If the former, then, uh… Problemista? Also in theaters. I really liked that one.
Just scroll past it? I just assume it’s going to be wrong anyway.
Where are you seeing that she stepped on it? The allegation is that she pressed it with her thumb, and she doesn’t dispute that she pressed it on purpose—she was checking the firmness, which is a weird thing to do to a bun but I don’t think it’s worth chasing her down over. If you really can’t sell it with a dent in it, telling her not to come back seems like a proportionate response. But honestly if I were the owner, I’d probably just eat the dented bun and call it a wash.
