But it’s also not: I can do whatever I want and buy whatever I want and never have to think about money again.

I’m middle class and I haven’t been able to afford to go to the dentist is about 20 years.
That doesn’t sound right.

Pretty sure you mean one head of garlic there buddy.
Can’t you read, it said three.
I’ve started making extra when cooking then storing it in the fridge for the coming week to slap on everything.
Peel a few heads of garlic and put them in a food blender with a little bit of rapeseed etc oil (not olive, cause then it’ll harden in the fridge), then you get a nice white paste you can just smack into things and it’ll store pretty damn well. So well I don’t think I’ve ever even considered it might be off because a box like that won’t last a week.
But white isn’t the most appetising colour, pale white at least, so toss in a habanero or two and it’ll have a beautiful orange colour.

You could just use rapeseed etc oil to avoid it going solid in the fridge, unless there’s a specific reason why you use olive oil?

- Comment on If all the money in the world can only make you look as good as elon musk or jeff bezos there is truly some things money can't buy. 1 week ago:
Yeah but those golden retrievers usually have food provided to them and they don’t need to worry about it.
Even golden retrievers get rather depressed when malnourished, although the way we humans have bred them means they’ll still look somewhat optimistic.
For humans the “money can’t buy happiness” limit used to be something like 50-70k, closer to 50k in Europe and 70k in the US, but that was like 15 years ago so now it’d be something closer to 70k in Europe and 100 in the US. What that means is just that you can afford decent housing, transportation, all the necessities, and have a bit left over.
Up to that point money dramatically increases happiness. After that, it doesn’t really have an effect anymore. Making a million a year doesn’t mean you’re any less happy than making a billion. But making 100k a year versus 30k a year is a massive difference.

Yeah I’m not gonna build a house with duct tape, but I most definitely like keeping a roll around, because it’s very useful in certain situations.
As of now LLM’s are little more than glorified chatbots, but I find them useful when cooking / making drinks. I’ll have an idea, query something, ask about whether it’s generally thought that x spice goes well in y dish or how the temperature of a drink will affect the layering of it or something.
It’s decent enough for that. But like for any data that’s not as stable as cooking (which is subjective at its core anyway more or less) etc, it’s not good. Movie released for instance? Nah. Because the release dates change and the batch of data it’s uses for training can have a different date than it does.
That happened in December when Kraven the Hunter was coming out. It told me it had premiered like 6 months ago when I knew it was gonna be in a week or so.
But on the other hand I once accidentally made this cool drink where I got bits of pineapple to go up and down for 10-15 minutes after served, pretty furiously. Couldn’t replicate it until I talked to Gemini for a minute. And the input would’ve been so niche it would’ve yielded no direct results online. I’d have had to refresh some basic chemistry for at least 10-20 min prolly. But now I just got the answer in one.
Decent enough.
I know AI is overhyped, but it’s also overhated. I too hate the overhyping, but I don’t hate the tool itself. It’s just not anywhere near as versatile or complex as some people make it out to be, but it’s also rather more useful than some make it out to be.

Books are going to keep doing just fine.
Books haven’t been the go to for several decades. When’s the last time you went to search something in a library before Googling it? Or hell, in general. Because we used to have to do that you know. When I was a kid and I wanted to know something, I had to cycle to library.
Now I can ask my phone about it, then ask it for the source, then check the source and I can use a search engine to find an actual book on the source on the subject.
It’s a tool.
It’s a poor craftsman who blames his tools. If you’re trying to use a hammer as a screwdriver, ofc it’s gonna suck.

Oh my god I was too stupid to get it since I was thinking about the spaghetto as it was in the comment above yours.
Now that I get it, I’m amused. Spaghettini.
I’m gonna design one and try to make one tomorrow. Although I don’t have martini glasses.
But like… a really good vodka-marinara, then mix in some mode vodka, shake, pour, garnish with a cherry tomato and and a spaghettini (the tiny one I was referring to) and poke it through the tomato. Or tomatini?
I’m not a professional. Sorry for ruining your joke, Ms-apparently-less-high-or-more-smart-than-me.
Apologies again, totally my bad. And thank you for correcting me.

According to my linguistic understanding “spaghettini” would be more like

Whereas in the post, that’s a spaghetto.

There may be more sold PS1’s but four controllers and having joysticks before PS and having big titles, Zelda, Mario, etc, I think N64 was pretty even with the PS1.

“Carbon-neutral” isn’t synonymous with coming from renewables.
In 2023, the electricity sold to [my energy company] customers was distributed by energy source as follows: 25% renewable energy sources, 28% fossil energy sources and peat, 47% nuclear power.
But my point was rather a rhetorical one on a global level
- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 2 weeks ago:
Idk man.
30 years ago this came out.
The traditional controller for PS1 didn’t have joysticks. You needed a DualShock for that, or it’s predecessor the Dual Analog controller.
But yeah year or two here there, the DualShocks and PS controllers after that were very good controllers.
But those first decent ones came out more like at the turn of the millennium than halfway through the 90’s as you imply.
Back then it ps1 without joysticks and from 96 on N64 with extremely shitty joysticks. Gamecube came out in 2001 and Nintendo had clearly learned it’s lesson — to an extent.
