  • So true. But this was mostly an ad

  • While I agree this is just an 'ad for their "product" ' the systematic biasis in machine learning models including LLMs is a real problem that should be discussed more. There are gender and racial biasis that need to be accounted for and hopefully removed.

  • High level playing can be interesting

  • We played wtih a College of Eloquence bard for some high level play and he just couldn't fail some checks. He liked to roll and then get his 30 minimum.

  • I think at this point democrats needs move away from the ACA and push for single payer. I would love to see republicans do a 180 and support the ACA marketplaces (which were a conservative idea to begin with) instead of the larger single payer.

  • Lemmings over 30 who try to stay active, what are you doing to accommodate for your incredibly decrepit bodies to avoid boo-boos?

  • Yoga. I started doing some distance running and besides learning to run in the correct zone so I am not maxing out my body everytime I have been doing this Post Run Yoga after most runs. It really helps and allows me to cool down and stretch well. The rest of her videos also rock

  • What show did you stop watching because it felt like a chore to finish?

  • Its worth finishing The Righteous Gemstone if only to watch Walton Goggins kill it as Baby Billy.

  • How Do You Feel About Professional Sports in 2025?

    Jump

  • I feel like following a specific sports team feels like a full time job now. You can't just watch the games live, you have to follow all the players on social media, watch for trade rumors, following the pre and post seasons, know all players names and play fantasy sports. I used to like to casually watch most of the local teams play but the expectations around being a fan is too high. Since I am male it is assumed that this is my whole life and hobby when really I don't care that much. Now, I only want to watch a game with my friends as an excuse to hang out. It feels not worth the effort because there is too much content and you need to consume it all to engage with it. Makes me want to opt out

  • Wife is mad jealous, knows it a problem, asked me where to get help.

  • Get thee to a therapist. Maybe a couple therapist and she needs an individual therapist for sure to work through this. Along the way if both of you are interested I recommend Mating in Captivity by Ester Perel. Its focus is on maintaining erotic tension and sexual chemistry during long term relationships. However, there is a huge section about the "Other" as part of this. The "Other" will be anyone else either of you might be attracted to outside your relationships. There will always be a "threat" of this other but it should be used to help see each other from a strangers perspective. Its fascinating and might help her reframe other women not as threats but as something that can help your relatioinship.

  • Does Terminal use actually make sense in the real world?

  • GUI change but the command line lasts forever. The GUI will change from version to version for any program but if you have a script or CLI that will last.

  • Farmers’ Almanac to shut down after more than 200 years in operation

  • How to make sauces less potent so you can douse your food in them?

    Jump

  • So I know when I am makiing stir fries if I want lots of sauce I either add lots of different ingredients to build flavors. For example last night I had a sauce with Gochujang, Soy Sauce, Black Vinegar, Roasted sesame seeds oil, chili oil, chili garlic sauce. Each of which was in a smaller quantity but created a spicy and umami flavor that overall covered anything. So try to make multiple flavors together (which is traditional any way). I do love strong flavors so that might not work for you. If that doesn't work the water + corn starch slurry is a good method to make a sauce thick without adding much flavor.

    Tomatoes are the base for most mexican style sauces so add more tomatoes. You can make your own or just use the most mild salsa you can find as a base.

  • The fact that conservative women are having a hard time finding men to date is kind of odd. It seems like they could clean up. But I guess alt-right guys are a real pain
