To be really inclusive, I would also use the term for female dogs, like, "Hey, dogs and...". Yeah, no,.sorry, I'll show myself out.

I have recently adopted this, absolute game changer.

What I found makes it even better is to shovel the pasta directly from the pot into the sauce, getting little amounts of pasta water with it. I guess it's the same taking half a ladle of pasta water shortly before it's finished and add it to the sauce, the starch helping to bind the sauce

Ja, die Bahn ist echt der letzte Ort, wo man das D-Ticket kaufen sollte. Ein bisschen beschleicht mich das Gefühl, dass das aber Methode ist, weil die Bahn eigentlich mit Nahverkehr nix am Hut haben will.

Ich hab's einmal da gemacht, als ich an einem 15. eines Monats absehen konnte, dass sich das gegenüber Einzeltickets lohnen wird. Doof nur dass das Abo am 10. des Vormonats gekündigt werden muss, ich in der Konstellation dann also zwei Monate bezahlen musste. Mir kann einfach niemand erzählen, dass es irgendeinen technischen oder administrativen Grund dafür gibt, dass man zwanzig Tage Vorlauf für die Kündigung braucht. Bei 30(31) Tagen Laufzeit. Da wirken die sechs Wochen Kündigungsfrist der Bahncard noch geradezu plausibel. Bei jedem anderen Anbieter würde man das als Anfälle bezeichnen.

Ich war ja sehr lange ein grosser Fan von ihr, für mich hat sie aber mit ihrer Maithink X show (alleine der Name ist ja schon affig) ganz schön an Glaubwürdigkeit verloren. Muss denn selbst in den ÖR Sendern Wissenschaft in einer Blödelshow auf Karl Dall Niveau verwurstet werden, damit man auch ja das gesamte werberelevante Publikum mitnimmt?

Vielleicht ist da der Schritt in die Politik nur der nächste logische, und auch wenn ich sehr begrüsse dass Menschen, die noch evidenzbasiert denken und kommunizieren können auch Einzug in die Politik nehmen, scheint mit da die Gefahr des Personenkults doch ein bisschen hoch.

Part of my work is to evaluate proposals for research topics and their funding, and as soon as "AI" is mentioned, I'm already annoyed. In the vast majority of cases, justifiably so. It's a buzzword to make things sound cutting edge and very rarely carries any meaning or actually adds anything to the research proposal. A few years ago the buzzword was "machine learning", and before that "big data", same story. Those however quickly either went away, or people started to use those properly. With AI, I'm unfortunately not seeing that.

It's not even pizza. It's some weird tomato quiche, but definitely not pizza.

You can buy alcohol at Disney?! With everything being so prude about drinking in public in the US, this completely amazes me.

Or whenever using your credit card online. The pro version would be that it turns off functions successively depending on your BAC. At some point the only unblocked function would be to call a cab to go home.

Because if I spend 50k on an ICE car, I get a really manly truck which makes me feel important and not like a wimp driving a car that makes me look poor!

I am so surprised that this stone age reasoning still works so well with cars.

"But I need the space! ... once every two years..."

Same with fuel efficiency: "My big ass penis enlargement SUV gets the same mileage like my tiny sedan did 30 years ago, so it's not worse for the environment!" - "But a car the size of your tiny sedan 30 years ago would now be twice as efficient?" - "Does not matter, I will use up the transportatin CO2 footprint that has been allotted to me, why should I give something up for the benefit of everyone , especially something important like a antiquated status symbol?"

"Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans."
