  • Why is bread bad for duck, but cooked rice good? Isn't that basically the same thing? Bread is wheat, water, bit of salt. Cooked rice is rice, water, bit of salt. Or can't ducks handle gluten?

  • When a Christian Makes Contact with an Atheist

  • No, it's relevant actually. I called them protestant, but the OG Lutherans aren't a branch of Catholicism, so why would Pentecostals be a branch of protestantism? Yeah, they're still anti-pope, but they also found enough problems with the established protestants to split off and start something else.

    I don't know if there's a term for the wave of new denominations in the last century, if it's even a single wave at all. Revivalism? And is there a common theme in that wave that leads to cults? Or should we say that the cults are a wave in themselves, caused by some other shift in the zeitgeist? Because as much as I'd like to blame pentecostalism for cultish beliefs (and I think I could make that argument), it could also be a general secularization that strips communities to their cultish cores.

  • Is this a spoon or a spatchula?

    Jump

  • I'd put it with the tongs. If you're just trying to grab a spatula without looking, you don't want the dough scraper. Same logic for spoons, the scraper won't do. So you put it with the weirdos in the bottom section.

  • Cultish practices vary from church to church, but there's way more protestant cults than catholic ones.

    And I mean proper cults, where they know how loony they seem, so they try to seem more normal to potential members. Then they love bomb newcomers, before inviting them to the special wednesday meetings where they promise supernatural powers if the newcomer is humiliated before the group and love bombed again when they're most vulnerable. Last step is making them cut ties with non-believers and ostracizing any apostates.

    Catholic King making infallible decrees is harmless compared to that.

  • Worse, it was when Twitter banned Trump. This is just like when the Savage John asked to be exiled from the World State but the Controller forces him to engage in society to torture him.

  • Now the next unsolved question is: when a person is multilingual, should that count as multiple languages or are they all facets of the same idiolect? Is code-switching between formal and informal English the same as code-switching between English and French? Can a person even have multiple idiolects?

  • I also have to laugh when someone takes a very rough estimate (around a hundred miles) and converts it to metric with 4 significant figures (160.9 km). Even 160 is too precise when talking about a distance of 80-120 miles. If the original number has 1 sigfig, the conversion should too, even if that feels way off.

  • This always (and only) happens to me in big company meetings and it's really hard to get out of those or to find a coping mechanism that would be socially acceptable. So last time I kinda freaked out right before I reached the assembly room, grabbed my stuff and went home. I don't even think anyone noticed, everyone goes home right after anyway.

  • I really enjoy the Donki, it's just cramped enough to make cozy nooks for me to hide between the Pikachu bath towels and the Love Live soap dispensers.

  • Should the target area be square or should it also be a hexagon?

  • cookie combs

    Jump

  • The bee doesn't have to know anything about numbers to make the honeycomb. All it needs to know is how big to make the circle (bee-sized) and where the circle should be (touching two other circles). From there, the hexagons form naturally.

  • "thanks"

    Jump

  • It won't be as simple as that and the engineers who work on these systems can only think in terms of LLM and text classification, so they'd run your message through a classifier and end the conversation if it returns a "goodbye or thanks" score above 0.8, saving exactly 0 compute power.

  • Meal prepping

    Jump

  • You can sit on it, or you can press it with something flat and heavy. Lan Lam includes squashing for an hour as a required step in her Simple rules for better sandwiches (Youtube), but she uses a cutting board and a pot. Pressing helps keep a big sandwich together and it also mixes the flavors a little.

    Jamming it in a jar doesn't really work for keeping it together (that burger looks like it needs to be eaten with a spoon), but it could still help disperse the flavors.
