Isn’t this just the natural consequence of a flood of new bug reports generated by ai, with little skill required?

It’s hard not to immediately want to extend this to astronomy

Do those really work? I don’t have a need or counter space for the “oven”, and the toaster needs to toast bread. Are those as fast and do they toast as well as the more specialized appliance?

The last thing I need is to take up more counter space. To the contrary, I am considering getting rid of my air fryer. The air fryer has worked really well, so well that I got an oven with that functionality. It would be tough to convince me to take up more counter space

Edit: then again, the internet claims an air fryer is effective at toast

Haha this is hilarious. I occasionally try to toast differently shaped bread, but sliced bread is very consistently shaped so never a problem.

Do other countries do bread differently ? Is this just another example of American cultural imperialism? “No baguettes for you!”

Every manual toaster I’ve had allows you to pull it up manually

But somehow my current toaster needed to be electronic with buttons and an LED readout, and a motor instead of a spring. There’s no manual release, just stick a knife in and try not to electrocute yourself.

However it also has lasted far longer than any other toaster I’ve had, so ……

Thanks

Oh , I buy this, to some extent. As an omnivore…. I’ll never give up eating meat, but I do love some meals that are “accidentally” vegetarian.

Hot take on Indian food: one of the world’s greatest cuisines but when I visited, I found so many restaurants deprioritized even chicken so much that it was just not worth it. Enjoy the meals, enjoy what they do well without trying to push different preferences

I’ll probably regret going there ….

But could this be a scenario where the cheapest chicken tenders are good? Is there any fiber to whatever they use for filler?

Oh I’ve heard that. Idiots starting with a grain of truth on characteristics of “insoluble fiber” and going off into la la land

Or capsaicin. I hate when plants produce that, LoL

Both sides the same - crazy to spend that much on a phone, especially when the distinction is “more to go wrong”

Can you say a little about basic usability? It seems like the outside screen wouldn’t do anything my watch doesn’t already do: the inside screen requires the extra maneuvering of opening it then using two hands

Maybe if I wasn’t already sold on a watch and a tablet, but I have a hard time seeing where this form factor adds anything

Oh man, that brings back memories. I had to work with a first generation HP tablet because my company wanted to ride the hype by supporting “the greatest thing ever”. It was so painful to use

That experience soured me on tablets until my family somehow managed to get an iPad mini on a give away and it was a world of difference

I’m having trouble translating how big your cabinet is …… given the list of equipment similar to yours (nas, switch, router, ports), how many mini-pc’s fit?

Buy ya gotta admit their point that streaming still costs way less than cable …… assuming you’re subscribing to what you want rather than try to recreate

When I first switched, the math said I cut my costs in third while getting much better internet service and three streaming services

• Gigabit internet + 3 * streaming service == 1/3 (200M internet + cable)

The math is still positive but much less so, however streaming services attempts to alienate me are succeeding - I only subscribe to one streaming service and am considering giving it up. Enshittify away and see what that gets you

I pay for Netflix family plan but since Netflix has decided my kids are no longer in my family when they are at their moms or at college…… I no longer need that. Clear cause and effect

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Amazon itself. When I’ve had bad service, it’s inevitably a flipper selling something they don’t have expecting they can then buy it at a local sale. But when that sale has ended or they can’t find one to generate enough profit, they claim “shipping delayed”. Eventually Amazon cancels and I’ve always gotten my money back, but I feel scammed and no one seems to read bad reviews anymore

Arguably carnivores have already cut meat intake, at least red meat, to greater impact than vegetarians.

While I’m going by anecdote rather than data

• vegetarians/vegans are a small minority so limited impact
• many people I know have cut back on at least red meat for health or environmental reasons.

Basically one fewer burger a week by 100 people has more impact than one person not eating meat at all

The arguments are usually that fish aren’t animals or more clearly insects aren’t animals, similar to how plants aren’t animals even if they react to damage. Very easy to argue.

I’ve seen arguments that whatever sentience fish may have, it’s too low level to be aware of pain. I don’t buy that but clearly fish have a simpler central nervous system than mammals. Also easy to argue.

An incremental step would be making it more expensive through taxes or regulation. A possible improvement rather than sitting on an impossible ideal

Everything I want in one place, with a decent searchable ui and next day delivery? Sometimes I try to get away from that, but that’s a whole lot of convenience you’d have to avoid

Over the weekend I went to the home center for a part, even asked for help finding it, and the guy looked it up and said they no longer carry it. I used the Amazon app in the parking lot for literal seconds , and the part arrived the next day.
