- Comment on YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg 5 days ago:
Its been proven the shells sticking depends on the age of the egg. Older is less sticky. The cooling down part is about stopping the egg to continue getting harder which is not relevant if you want them hard boiled anyways. Instead of hovering you can use a pin and put a small hole in the shell instead, but that sometimes results in some eggwhite escaping until it plugs the hole.

That steel bar over the top of the car somehow makes that photo look fake.
- Comment on hot-wired a fridge mystery component. Nothing happened. What is it? 1 week ago:
If this is indeed a non us fridge, this is probably a heat pump fridge. Compressor in the back should confirm it. The plate probably allows the coolant to expand and thereby cool down inside the fridge.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 week ago:
A short is not only a bet on a direction but also a timing issue. You need to know roughly how long (time) to keep the option.
- Comment on Tech companies don’t care that students use their AI agents to cheat 2 weeks ago:
They love getting people out there that don’t know how to work a job out there without LLMs. Long term customers with money for sure. Problem is if these engineers start building bridges that collapse due to hallucinations. LLMs are s great tool for learning and doing some of the repetitive work. But somebody building a bridge better sniff out if the llm starts talking out of it’s ass and that comes from actually knowing your shit and having experience. I use LLMs all the time, but the result needs to pass my inspection, always.
- Comment on how do you explain selfhosting to the non-techies in your life? 2 weeks ago:
I have long suspected that its a techies responsibility to take care of their immediate friends and family in regards to self hosting. SoiI usually offer that service for free to my extended family. I usually tell them they have to rely/trust someone, might as well be me and if it weren’t them I would charge customers X money for that service monthly. So it becomes a gift and something personal and they feel taken care of and when the dreaded “help me with my email” call comes you just pop open their account without trying all the password on that crusty sticky note and look into it. I especially love those “they claim they didn’t get that email” calls. Pop open the log and send the excerpt of their server accepting the email to the claimant and boom number one of all the standard excuses is done for. I once saved my mums job that way.

I always kinda wonder if they went the same experience of being misunderstood by their previous generation. Old people get inflexible and its also an indication the world is still changing alot with each generation. Still the lack of self reflection is astonishing.
- Comment on Not promotings violence. If someone or some group puts a bounty on a presidents or kings or pm's head how does a person collect and do they give you safe haven in country? 4 weeks ago:
Serious answer: prediction markets. People bet on the time of death of the victim. The person that bets the closest to the actual time of death wins. A would be assassin would theoretically always know the exact moment of the attempt on this persons life.

My brother did that and I’m not saying it’s mommy issues in your case but in my brothers case he liked having a sugar mommy that was good in bed. They split after 15 years when he found a younger richer woman to mooch off of.

I use sogo for that. Includes a web interface as well as proper authentication mechanisms and sync integration. Is also lightweight and even allows LDAP integration oif you like.
- Comment on Do you ever feel full and hungry simultaneously? 2 months ago:
Since my marriage started going downhill my need for treats far exceeds my natural hunger. So maybe you are eating your feelings like i do. Maybe not.
- Comment on Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI 2 months ago:
Its not a deep fake. But watch how he hides his right hand through all of the speech. Remember the bruise he had? Why would he hide that? Why would an AI video even contain that?
- Comment on Is there an increasing trend in the fear of germs/contamination (Mysophobia/Germophobia) ever since Covid-19, or is it just me? 2 months ago:
As far as my experience goes in Germany, the fear is consistent with what was before covid. There are a few individuals with increased awareness that are stillmaskimng, especially in public transit but these are few. Which in turn is consistent with my observation that most good hygiene practice has stuck somewhat more. People wash their hands more often and there is much less talking down to germanophobes. Even children are taught much better hygiene (to no avail in the daycare facilities for children).

Terry Prattchet made a very good documentation about the process, if you can please watch it. It is about people in your specific circumstances. Its not easy to watch till the end. I’m feeling for you.

- Comment on This boomer couple would be hit with $700,000 tax bill if they sold their mansion 3 months ago:
Normal rich folk give the house to their children to use and buy something in a retirement community with their children’s support. None of their children live with them, kind of a red flag the author buried.
- Comment on There's nothing like cooking for 2+ hours just to eat in 10 minutes 3 months ago:
The way is the goal. I enjoy taking time for cooking instead of rushing. Maybe once a week i make something that makes me taste the time i took.

Its called milking a generations nostalgia. Remakes of child and youth memories for a generation that is now financially viable.
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 4 months ago:
Working in cooperations is the definition of insanity. Been there, it’s crazy. And yes, there the lying and cheating part is most likely to get you ahead.
- Comment on Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving a higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success? 4 months ago:
Usually veiled in religion. Also the American dream, work your way up instead of investing into education.

Business owner here, even if not a very good one. These kinds of CEOs exist, but there are far from the norm. And they usually act that way because the owners of the company expect them to lead that way. There is a crowd mechanic of many people owning some of the stock of a company. It leads to some psychopathy as nobody feels responsible and everybody wants to earn some extra Money. Look into a documentary called “cooperation”.
Most business people, especially the more successful ones are the classic boys club people. They get good deals by being friends and knowing people that give them access. It leads to a culture where what you earn has more or less nothing to so with what or how good you work. If you know the show billions, watch it and look for the making of episodes. There is a lot of real world experience in the writing.
