We don’t know how rational or irrational this is. Kitchen fires do happen. If you don’t know how to prevent or handle them, then it’s a very rational fear to have.

Having kids will do that to you

It becomes a cringe adult phase when you get older.

They didn’t actually ban cars. Only reduced traffic to certain areas.

Same. I still don’t know the social script in these scenarios. Do I individually thank everyone for their birthday wishes? Do I thank everyone with one message after it seems like everyone’s done? How long do I wait? What if someone jumps in after I do that with a belated happy birthday?

I went the friend-to-romantic-partner route, so it was pretty much just like hanging out with any other friends.

I’d love to see a street view equivalent to this project.

Submarines work by manipulating their density, don’t they? Then they just float at whatever level matches their density.

I would be equally amazed to see something denser than water swimming.

Mom called. She wants to know when to expect grandkids.

I get the opposite problem. If I get things nearly perfect on the first try, I’ll just think to myself that I’ll never top that and give up. There’s something satisfying about seeing improvement. In the same vein, seeing results get worse is highly discouraging.

I’m not sure if “impressed” is the right word for what you’re trying to describe. I’m just going to address the first example to try and figure out what you mean.

Stuff that has big value is worth a lot of money. Thus money is based on people being impressed.

This sounds tautological. Is “big value” not synonymous with “worth lots of money”? I’m reading this as saying “Something that is worth a lot of money is worth a lot of money, and people are impressed by things that are worth a lot of money, so if people are impressed by something, it will be worth more money.”

I train primarily for powerlifting, secondarily for hypertrophy. At a high level, that means my workouts are organized such that each day focuses on one of the three main powerlifts (squat, bench, deadlift), plus accessory exercises to address weak points.

You might enjoy something similar if

• You like seeing numbers go up or big numbers in general
• Don’t like being sore after workouts
• Enjoy simple workouts

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

That’s kind of an odd question. I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. People choose exercises based on goal, the available equipment, and ability to perform the exercise. So I’ve never seen anyone do a belt squat in person because I’ve never been to a gym with belt squat equipment. I don’t see many people do front levers because few are able to do them.

How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

If you have a particular problem with meeting your macronutrient goals, then that might be a more concrete question to pose. I feel like this is a bit too individual to give you anything useful. Tracking, I do with Macrofactor. It’s a paid app.

There’s a YouTuber (Technology Connections) who’s really into heat pumps, which is the tech responsible for refrigerators and air conditioners.

What do you typically use your mayo for? I’m curious because all the stuff you add to your mayo is stuff that I would normally have in whatever dish is using the mayo, so I’m wondering if it actually makes a difference to have it blended in the sauce versus separate.

I’ve had the opposite experience. The older the pasta, the longer it takes to cook. If it cooks faster, that suggests to me that it has absorbed water during storage, which allows harmful bacteria to grow and the pasta might actually be expired.

Same. That’s when everyone else goes to sleep and actually leaves you time to focus on your work.

I bake quite a bit and I don’t do my mise-en-place either when it comes to baking, but that’s not a problem. The way recipes are formatted works well for my process as well. I read through the steps ahead of time if it’s a recipe I am unfamiliar with, then I’ll just have the ingredients list open while I’m doing the prep. The things I make are pretty basic (cookies, cakes, muffin, etc) and the steps are all identical. Mix wet, mix dry, mix everything, bake.

I personally find that having less repeated information makes things easier and faster to read. The recipe says “add flour”, you know that it’s all the flour. If the recipe says “add flour (1 cup)”, then I have to check back in the ingredients list to figure out if that’s all the flour or only part of it. Then the more info you add to clarify, the harder it is to skim while you’re cooking.

To the best of my knowledge, this information only exists in the prompt. The raw LLM has no idea what it is and the APIs serve the raw LLM.
