And my personal moon landing

You’ve never had to halve a recipe before? Which is easier to do in your head, half of 78.862 milliliters or half of 1/3 cup?

Are Europeans afraid of fractions or something? It’s way quicker to mentally add 9/16 and 3/8 compared to 0.5625 and 0.3750…

Like I get that metric is better but “metric is when no fractions” make 0/1 sense.

Edit - tfw you get ratiod by “9+6 is hard” in a thread about people not understanding basic arithmetic

Oh my therapist is going to love this one

More than that, “software engineer” has been drifting towards “software technician” for a while now. If you don’t have any additional physics, math or engineering specialty on top of software skills, things are pretty crowded. Anyone can learn to write decent software. It’s really never been a traditional academic topic for the most part, and AI is definitely making that worse.

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!

itty bitty living space

Bruh bleeding out in a pit of mud on the battlefield as other random people fall on top of my already crushed ribs is way fucking worse than a bullet to the dome.

Plus, this revolution could easily go the other direction and I’ll end up being tortured to death anyway. I feel like this take is possibly the most historically ignorant one possible.

On the other hand, if you go with reproduction as the main goal, then that gets you to eugenics from an uncomfortable number of very different paths.

Honestly the entire idea that the only purpose of humanity is to make the next generation or support that process in some way just feels gross in a very eugenics adjacent way. If you start with that premise, it’s just too easy to conclude that anyone who isn’t working towards that end is disposable.

How about I do something which will make life better for people who are actually alive already instead of increasing total human suffering by making new people.

Mascara?

I like it. It’s porn pastiche. Parody which elevates the genre through self awareness.

This is a strange way to ask for bail donations, notJessica

I’m not sure how the place you go to usually does it but I start by simmering dried chilies, smashed garlic, sliced ginger and Sichuan peppercorns in oil over low heat while the green beans cook. I like to get it nice and spicy. Strain the oil and crank the heat up to high and then finish off the green beans trying to get some flame licking the oil as you toss (this is def a more advanced technique). Then add back in the pepper, garlic and gingeralong with like 2tsp each of soy sauce and shaoxing wine. About a tsp each of salt and sugar to taste and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if you want. That’s a pretty tradition preparation but it gets done differently everywhere.

If you really want more wok hei you can hit it with a blow torch right at the end, just be careful not to start a grease fire.

Cook the green beans under the broiler and then finish in the wok. It gets damn close to the restaurant 干煸四季豆

Ok Alexa, put “cute female presenting beefcakes with hair bows and sundress” on my to-do list.

Communists make weapons too tho. It’s kind of a whole cycle.
