    I guess it’s kinda addictive, but only because it’s really good. It doesn’t feel like it was cynically designed to be addictive, if that makes sense. No ads or microtransactions!

  • Room temperature is the temperature range that my medications say they should be stored at. I know it’s written down in the little booklets that come with them but I’m not gonna go find them rn

    I keep the temp at 69F in winter and 76F in summer

  • Yes it gets better by the end of chapter 1

  • Mother, said a small tomato caterpillar to a wasp,
    why are you kissing me so hard on my back?
    You’ll see, said the industrious wasp, deftly inserting
    a package of her eggs under the small caterpillar’s skin.
    Every day the small caterpillar ate and ate the delicious
    tomato leaves. I am surely getting larger, it said to itself.
    This was a sad miscalculation. The ravenous hatched
    wasp worms were getting larger. O world, the small
    caterpillar said, you were so beautiful. I am only a small
    tomato caterpillar, made to eat the good tomato leaves.
    Now I am so tired. And I am getting even smaller. Nature
    smiled. Never mind, dear, she said. You are a lovely link
    in the great chain of being. Think how lucky it is to be born.

  • Oh hey I saw something about this recently. I read the medicine subreddit cuz I’m a weirdo. Dunno if this will be helpful, but here’s what I saw one doctor type person post:

    Have them toss out half a bottle of afrin and mix with saline, use that for a week, then toss out half again and dilute again with saline, use for a week, continue diluting until they feel ready to go off. Sometimes a short oral pred burst is needed too unfortunately

  • I actually love that episode of TAS though

  • I also suggest adding ice to your water/whatever you’re drinking (if you haven’t already)

  • It’s good to be averse to cruelty, yeah. Don’t let anyone tell you that you should try to lose that part of yourself.

    When I think of what I want to happen to people who have done terrible things, I think the most satisfying thing to imagine is a future in which they are denied ever having any power over others. Not a future in which they’re tortured or suffering or anything like that.

  • I’m of two minds about this.

    On the one hand, getting to know your coworkers personally outside of work is really important for organizing, and also (speaking from experience) very fulfilling (provided your coworkers aren’t all just total assholes)

    On the other hand, it’s too bad alcohol culture is so entertwined with this, and I say this as an unrepentant booze hobbyist. Hopefully we can collectively find an after work and/or lunchtime social culture that allows space for people who don’t partake in alcohol

  • Hmm, I should check on my peanut butter

  • I’m glad you’ve gotten some actual use out of the LLMs! My outlook is more skeptical because I’ve seen too many interns get stuck on projects because they tried to ask LLMs for advice (which they did not double check) instead of reaching out to an experienced dev. The word calculators can only do so much.

    I’m not usually into debates, but I really enjoyed watching Shannon Stirone challenge Eric Berger on some of his core beliefs about Mars settlement
