- Comment on Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search 6 days ago:
Does it really cost what Kagi is charging? I would love to see some research on this if people happen to know where to find such articles.
Like, in theory to pay for Kagi or a similar service but it’s just extrotionately expensive.
I pay for other service which are offered for free (like email hosting), but those are reasonably priced.

What language is this from? Is it a variant of Mandarin or another Chinese language?
My reasons for confusion 头水：my Pinyin keyboard doesn’t even want to write this. Is this supposed to be 口水？
小豆脑：is this some metaphor?
‘My saliva is gone. I want that those electrolytes give me tofu brain [very soft tofu for other people reading], very constipated’
I’m a very confused Chinese learner.
Edit before responding: I think I understand the metaphor now lol

* Often literally waving at you to go. Through the intersection. At the wrong time.
I feel your pain so deeply on this point. This part is universal, people trying to be “nice” don’t understand that rules exist to make things run smoothly.
My poor soul requires rules be followed, and changed when they no longer make sense.
My deepest condolences that you have a road design that compounds this further.
I bet 4-way stops are a joy for pedestrians also haha
- Comment on a minor to moderate amount of tomfoolery in construction 3 weeks ago:
4-way stops are an American abomination. One street really ought to have right of way, otherwise it would be a small roundabout.
I can happily say I have never been exposed to a 4-way stop in Australia.

The cool thing was I could use the same MetroCard for both
Has this not been a thing for like 60 years practically everywhere?
RIP cities that don’t have this.
In conclusion, I approve of your lifestyle

No one’s freaking out, just don’t eat too much. Many, many packaged things have a bunch of salt in them. And in general, it’s good to be aware of.
Salt requirements obviously vary from person to person and depend on your activity that day (losing it to sweat) etc.
You’re not gonna die from a bit too much salt every now and then.
But as all things: In moderation.
Just because the situation with fat was stupid (and, in my opinion, was because of marketing by vested interests to take the heat of sugar) doesn’t mean all health science is quackery.
“Too much salt is bad for you” isn’t a radical take.
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 month ago:
I might make a big dish of lasagne, maybe the meat has 3 or 4 teaspoons of salt,
Seems fine to me. That’s about 4 daily doses of salt, depending how many servings that is, probably totally fine. This isn’t medical advice haha
In any case, at least you’re having something delicious 😁
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 month ago:
Of course, unless you’re being terribly precise, you don’t know very accurately.
Though, with the exception of pasta water, you can keep track via number of teaspoons as an approximation, or if you have precise scales tare off your container to see how much you’re using.
Packaged foods are much easier.
I personally just try to keep it minimal while keeping the food taste nice. I don’t measure my salt.
I’m not saying change your habits, just be aware that excessive salt can he unhealthy!
- Comment on Cooking 😋 1 month ago:
This is probably a joke, but do try to limit your salt intake to something healthy: www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/…/salt
- Comment on Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains. 1 month ago:
I have never understood the appeal of marvel universe movies. It just always came across as bad world building.
The whole reason super heroes with secret identities works is they are unique, and not a fundamental change to society.
Having a world that’s basically the same, with truck loads of super heroes makes no sense at all.
I have seen only a handful of these movies.

I’ll never forgive the French for going from grave to gram to kg as the base unit of mass.

Such a pity.

If it makes you feel any better, most pipe standards around the world are based on the American system, as well as bloody valve coefficients.
I am far too aware that 1" is 25.4 mm :(
And I’m in Australia. Grumble
