Umami with extra! ™

Honestly, I’m pretty sure they post any old brain rot here and then have an AI fabricate supporting articles online just to mess with us…

No I love it - that’s why we’re here.

I learned something today and hope to gently explain it to my degenerating/conservative father (but let’s not get into that kettle of fustercluck!)

If anyone else is struggling, this reasonably basic article helped me https://sciencenotes.org/genotype-vs-phenotype-definitions-and-examples/

Funny the fictions we contrive for ourselves in our own heads.

There’s a real need to get ones world view/beliefs and the insecurities and inner critics in line in order to survive it seems.

That’s my latest conclusion, anyway. Distraction and drinking haven’t really helped. Shocking, I know…

This is great and amazing. We are our own worst enemies with the absence of rigour we apply…

…but isn’t that what we have you for?

Sorry, I’m just being a wanker. It’d be a shame to waste this superpower!

It’s coming up in an odd way in the mountain biking community, where they talk about min-maxing.

The idea is minimum budget, maximum effect for that expense (what’s the best I can do with the bike I’ve got, rather than going the ‘full midlife crisis’/orthodontist approach of spending $15-25k on what’s basically the latest handbag bike).

Most people don’t actually pay attention to their senses - I think the brain happily filters it all it out.

I think as I’m getting older, I’m either more aware or it’s getting worse

Yes, floor time and getting into their world is real currency!

Show them tricks, teach them Rubik’s cubes or something. Kids love learning and novelty (not lectures: show, don’t tell!)

Even if it’s just grabbing a broom, holding it up and spinning around and getting dizzy - good, clean fun (until you throw up on them)

I go clientless with GOG, too - but their download speed was atrocious every time I tried. Steam nails that, unfortunately…

Infuriatingly, steams constant updates and massive start up delays (we have multiple users with different accounts) straight up sucks - we’d be better off suffering the one-off download delays, really.

Cloud saves are amazing, but I try and launch stuff not through steam as its just a slow, bloated old mess I can’t stand dealing with (I’m also quite OK with migrating data around computers and keeping it stored safely)

Further to this, to human is top err - so why would you start to rely on something that’s confidently incorrect so often.

It’s only a matter of time before this misleads someone terribly

Eating ass and conducting ram raids, more like.

We’ve got our priorities where we like them

So, this is off topic, but it’s so wild I had to include it:

https://theinsectory.com.au/centipede-care-guide/

Sexing centipedes is no easy task, most species cant be sexed at all visually. Try to avoid sexing them if you have no intention of breeding, as risks far outweigh rewards and you could easily kill your centipede as well as causing a lot of unneeded stress.

To sex your centipedes (make sure you’re comfortable, as this is a very risky procedure). Put the centipede in a glass or plastic jar with a small hole in the lid, start filling the jar with water until its full. Keep an eye on it, once your centipede becomes unconscious remove it from the water and place on some paper towel. The sex organs are found in the last segment, apply slight pressure to the second last segment and they should pop out. Take some high quality pics and compare them to pics available online. You can also knock them out with CO2 gas.

I’m running out of time to find real husbandry, but I imagine it’s a rather hands-off affair

I like the cut of your jib

That is bizarre!

Makes sense for the animals that spray their offspring en masse

I’m upset no ones chimed in with a really technical breakdown and linked some studies

Holy shit, I completely fell for that until I read the replies.

Might be time for my medicine…

This is fantastic! Entitlement from ‘customer is always right’ BS is immediately called out.

Yeah, housing is fucked. We have ignored any infrastructure investment in …40 years?

Education is fucked

Health is fucked

Tourism got fucked by COVID

That pretty much leaves farmers and tenants
