- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 6 months ago:
I did try to reduce the impact of what I eat, but I haven’t found a replacement for using chicken with a slow cooker. Beef also tastes good, especially when I eat at a restaurant.
I have stopped making hamburgers on my own (and replaced them with fish or soup), but I haven’t put more effort into reducing my impact recently.
- Comment on The teens making friends with AI chatbots 6 months ago:
The end of the article does try to take a hopeful tone:
“I definitely prefer talking with people in real life, though,” he added.
I don’t necessarily agree with everything though:
While some of the culture around Character.AI is concerning, it also mimics the internet activity of previous generations who, for the most part, have turned out just fine.

“password” is the third password someone would try.

This is quite disturbing
- Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean? 7 months ago:
I don’t know about today, but in the past New Jersey required that “expiration dates” be stamped on bottled water: nj1015.com/does-bottled-water-expire-nj-was-the-o…
Even if similar markings are not required by law everywhere in the USA, food manufacturers are probably afraid of getting sued due to violating local laws, or even international laws if the food is transported across borders, so it’s probably negligent to neglect printing them.
- Comment on Skiff, the private email provider has been acquired by Notion. It is set to shut down its services after 6 months. 9 months ago:
I believe Skiff would automatically start using end to end encryption when it was available, without any user needing to enable it for any specific email, using the Web Key Directory standard: github.com/privacyguides/…/email.md#openpgp-compa…
It’s not good for me that an email provider that supports that is undergoing dramatic changes, as an open standard that protects my privacy is more useful when it is used with more services.
- Comment on Uh oh! 1 year ago:
Essentially nobody under the age of 50 dies, especially in the western world: ourworldindata.org/…/number-of-deaths-by-age-grou…
Having learned this lets me quickly resolve thoughts of “what if I die” or “what if this person who is important to me dies” because I can reasonably predict whether that death will happen soon.
