  Of course. I was trying to make something less useful than knowing the strides in a mile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I always enjoy Mad Elf around Christmas. It's a dark ale with Belgian yeast, cherries, and honey.

  I've never tried to brew it, but there are plenty of clone recipes around to use as a starting point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thousandths of an inch are also used in some engineering applications and are called "mils." Not to be confused with millimeters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It's not a good tip, but this is how I hear it:

  1: One
  San Fran: Seven
  Cisc: Six
  O: Oh

  I just came up with it off the cuff, but I may use it going forward. I've never been able to remember feet or yards in a mile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And to remember the number of yards in a mile: 1 San Francisco

  One-seven-six-oh

  Their post history is interesting - it's like watching someone lose their mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honkwiching⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The original post is from 2017 - LLM were not in common use then.

  Also the one another poster mentioned

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Got it, thanks. Looks about the same, for what it's worth: recommended ratio for children 13-35 months old is 4:1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antarctic researcher remains, working for Falklands’ Dependency, 66 years ago, found in receding glacier⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And a much clearer version only needs two more words:

  Remains of Antarctic researcher, who worked for Falklands' Dependency 66 years ago, found in receding glacier

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What federal limit are you referencing? Federally funded Early Head Start classes serving students under 36 months old must have two teachers with no more than 8 children (4:1 ratio). CFR 1302.21(b)(2). Kids in diapers will probably be under 36 months.

  Many states have their own requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A small art gallery in Japan just happened to have these pictures next to each other. And then it morphed into a popular meme template⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They're not saying that. Check the community and try to have some fun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This might have something to do with it:

  The first country to have a reactor could “declare a keep-out zone which would significantly inhibit the United States,” the directive states, a sign of the agency’s concern about a joint project China and Russia have launched.

  Unexpectedly, it doesn't seem like this is a primarily technical decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP cleans his fridge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating vomiting. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police an ambulance”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating vomiting together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OP cleans his fridge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck, flag as NSFW next time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure - they're claiming to do two very difficult things simultaneously (net positive fusion and transmute mercury to gold at scale) which makes me even more skeptical. It's like saying "Not only can pigs fly, but we've taught them to simultaneously do calculus."

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This article says (5 tonnes/yr) per GW produced. It's a fusion reactor, so it's making electricity, not consuming it.

  At $0.05/kWh, 1 GWh of electricity is $438 million. At $3400/troy ounce, 5 tonnes of gold is $545 million. So that jives with the company's estimate on the article that the sale of gold could double their revenue.

  All bunk, of course

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fullstack Engineer - Waifus (for people looking for job)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The job posting uses the word "obsess" twice - no frigging thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wanted to do this for few years...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That's a cool project - good luck and update us on how it turns out.

  Here in the US, high strength (95%) ethanol is widelybavailable. We would occasionally do shots of it when I was (much) younger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the moon turned into a black hole?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To you, what is the difference between the moon being turned into a black hole and being replaced by a black hole with the same mass?
