This is me at work… open floor plan desks are exhausting, more than the physical labor I inadvertently do for like half the day. I actually prefer the physical moving around bit; I don’t have to pretend and fail anyway to keep the social mask on just in case someone says something to me.

I get in trouble a lot for wearing my earbuds and not hearing someone trying to get my attention. So now I just wear them so people assume I can’t hear them and only respond to the people I have to.

The bubble bursts when one of them can’t make their monthly payment.

It’s the dot com bubble all over again

Makes me think I should sell all my retirement stocks and stick it in bonds until the bottom falls out from under Nvidia

I was the dumb kid in school so why did I still end up with anxiety?🤷‍♀️

Oh great, another dystopian technology to worry about.

How the hell are you supposed to avoid being identified by this shit

Kagi lets you try it for a while before asking you to pay for it, fyi

I use kagi, it’s the closest thing to the old timey google before it sucked.

I used ddg and searxng for a long time, but if you use them long enough you’ll find they’re not great at certain searches and I got tired of the hassle. Search engines are one of those things i just want to work and not fiddle with.

I haven’t used Google search in years, think I’ll survive.

Because the line must go up in perpetuity I just bet we’ll hear about this ai crap spitting out product placement answers in a few years

Starlings are invasive.

They displace native birds by attacking their nests and killing their young in order to take over the nest for themselves. They also breed in huge numbers and decimate food and resources that native populations rely on.

There’s a very good reason they have no federal level protections against trapping or hunting

Do you promise? All i want for Christmas is for starlings to fuck right off

Nationalizing any big company is kinda funny from the administration pushing to privatize everything else for their rich buddies to run

The reason being that dumping the brine back into the ocean creates a dead zone wherever that dump point is, since the relative concentration of salts is higher compared to regular seawater.

They’re almost certainly recreating seawater just to help alleviate the dead zone effect and figured out how to get some free electricity out of it too

I think you meant 2 executive level bonuses because that’s where this ‘savings’ ends up

If you converted your recipe to use tangzhong you can get that 100% hydration. Basically you just cook some of the flour with water into a gelatinized paste and incorporate it into the rest.

King Arthur has a good explainer https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2018/03/26/tangzhong

I’m pretty sure Amazon got this idea from Black Mirror’s latest season

Well of course. Data brokers pay some bribes and their problems go away

That’s really sweet, I’m glad that I clicked through to read the article.

Wish there was something like this where I live even if it wasn’t volunteer run

I hate grass, I hate mowing it and the free time that eats. Its useless

I’m slowly deleting patches by installing garden beds and pathways with things that are useful to me and wildlife and don’t need constant maintenance.

My dream is to strip off the top layer of most of the yard and put down some grasses that don’t grow above 4-6 inches and other ground cover between my garden beds.

Holy hell, thank you for posting that

I’ve never seen that one before. My sides hurt

They got caught, so it’s all a big misunderstanding

Yeah totally just an error guys
