Boring compared to what, PCP? Every trip I’ve had has been enjoyable. Yeah I didn’t see talking dragons or whatever but I had a shitload of fun spending the day in the woods with my friends watching the trees branch off and wondering about the nature of reality. I also got really fucking good at Rocket League.

I love interfaith dialogue as much as the next guy but we’re talking about a humorous bumper sticker. The audience of said bumper sticker is not going to find that the inclusion of the Buddha enhances the joke at all.

I have a couple lifx bulbs and my partner brought like 8 cheapo Chinese ones with her when we moved in together. It is quite nice. The LIFX bulbs give much higher quality light and better color, but the ability to schedule lights on and lights off is incredibly nice. I would not recommend WiFi bulbs to anyone for the following reasons:
- They are horribly insecure. I have them walled off in their own little VLAN but it still makes me paranoid. I’m no hacker but they have Internet access and radios, so I’m sure there’s a server in Shenzhen that knows our comings and goings, when we have guests over, etc. They also have my IP address and all of my neighbors’ SSIDs so they know exactly where I live.
- They are a pain in the ass to set up. You have to power cycle the bulb five times, then wait for it to enter a pairing mode, then you have to wait for the stupid app to find the bulb,which doesn’t always work. After that, you have to select your wifi network from the list, which again it might not always actually detect, even if it’s a 2.4GHz network (because almost none of them support 5GHz). Then you have to type in your wifi password. Repeat this entire process for every. Single. Bulb. You’d think the process for the LIFX bulbs would be more streamlined because they’re six times the price, but you’d be wrong. In theory they’re Homekit enabled, which is cool if you have an iPhone unless you lost the barcode they put in the box. Or unless you have an older model. And again, sometimes they’ll just refuse to work. I have a Color Mini that just stopped being smart one day. It’s a really expensive normal bulb now.
- If you put too many of them on the router your ISP gave you there’s a good chance you’ll start overwhelming it and your performance will degrade. More than like 15 devices total (including the bulbs, smart speakers, TVs, gaming consoles, phones, laptops, etc) and a bottom range router is going to start begging for death.
Overall the WiFi bulbs suck complete ass and I’m keeping them because the lady likes them and it works so long as I don’t touch anything. I’d like to try using zigbee bulbs because they solve a lot of the problems I have with WiFi bulbs but replacing the system I have would be expensive, even after liquidating the old ones on eBay.

Hosts seat servers awkwardly -> server workflow gets frontloaded -> servers spend all their time greeting and grabbing drinks/setups instead of prebussing -> bussers have to do more work to get a table guest ready -> hosts start to panic as the lobby fills up -> hosts yell at bussers to teleport around the restaurant as soon as a guest so much as thinks about the check -> repeat
I live in the death spiral. I have a different seat but we’re all on the same damn ride. I hate corporate.

Oh, cows are quite simple. They eat silage and turn it into milk, beef, methane, and more cows. Male cows don’t produce milk. Steers turn all the silage they eat into beef. Bulls turn 1% of what they eat into cum and the rest is used to produce pure, unadulterated rage.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 6 days ago:
The 2% refers to the amount of fat in the milk. Whole milk is usually something like 3-4%. So 2% milk actually is the “other 98%.” Milkfat is actually not bad for you either, vitamin d is fat-soluble and taking the extra milkfat out can make it harder for you body to absorb it.
Fat is also flavor, and when it comes to something like yogurt you have to put something else in so it won’t taste like shit. That something is usually sugar. For the same flavor yogurt its usually at least double the amount in the fat free variety. And it still tastes like shit if you ask me.

You just reminded me of my short bastard super from one of my old jobs. They put me on the prep deck to get all the wash process water off the parts before they go into the paint booth. One day they bump the line up to something like 14 feet per minute and tell me that I should stop the line if I need more time for quality reasons. So I stop the line. Fucking Mike whips in there with his private forklift and goes “hey why the fucks the line stopped” and hits the go button. A couple back and forths at shift meetings and I give up, because they e got me working 5 or 6 10s and I have lost the ability to give a damn. So now the paint is fouling on every fourth part, and when the facility manager comes round bitching about our reworks guess who gets thrown under the bus?
God I hate manufacturing

What is the difference between fructose in fructose in an orange and the fructose in HFCS? Like if I presented you with two molecules of fructose, how would you tell which came from an orange and which came from coke? It seems to me like you are repeating my point back to me, which is that it is the vehicle through which the fructose is introduced to the body that makes a difference, rather than one sugar being fundamentally different from the other.
Why would the concentration increase if I juice two apples instead of one? The quantity of juice produced would surely increase, but why would the concentration without further processing?
Sucrose is unstable in the environment of a soda can. It breaks down into fructose and glucose. Depending on the amount of time the soda has been canned it might contain zero sucrose.

- Comment on Bri'ish Cuisine 1 week ago:
Soda contains primarily fructose as a sugar, either because they put the fructose in when they made it or because the sucrose is broken down into fructose + glucose by the acid in the soda. It is not the type of sugar that makes fruit healthier than soda. Rather, it’s the other stuff in fruit. When it comes to glycemic index (how quickly the food raises your blood sugar) fiber is the hero, because it slows the absorption of the sugar by your gut, which means fruit doesn’t spike your blood sugar nearly as quickly as sugared soda. Fruit juice (which is basically fruit minus fiber) has a shockingly similar glycemic index to Coca-Cola.

- Comment on Bri'ish Cuisine 1 week ago:
Fruit is healthy in moderation because of all the fiber. Soda also contains primarily fructose.
- Comment on Los Angeles aims to ban single-use printer cartridges — new ordinance will target ink and toner that can't be properly recycled 1 week ago:
If you don’t print very often and you want color, inkjet is terrible because of the short lifespan of the cartridges. Your library will probably have a printing service available for cheap or free. I think mine does color too. I get $35 of print credit every month for printing just for living in the county. Otherwise there’s always commercial print shops.
