It was a very clear sarcastic reference to it.

But it's still not completely right. LLMs are actually great to tell you about things you know little about. You just have to take names, ideas, and references from it, not facts.

(And that makes agentic coding almost useless, by the way.)

TL;DR

Camera makes it look more than it is, it's mostly just sag

If you want to see electrical with significant zig zag, open up the wall of a house that was built without very detailed plans, but still hired an electrician with a lot of prior experience being told to move stuff after the fact. They just zig zag it like crazy under the drywall, so there's an incredible amount of slack to pull wire to new and exciting unplanned locations.


Very interesting, thanks!

I just hellban every app from sending any notifications, except for a select few. Apps get like a one strike policy on notification spam. If they send a single notification I didn't want, I disable their ability to send notifications at all.

Also all notifications/etc are silent, except for alarms, pages, phone calls, and specific named people's texts.

Everything else... no. YouTube was the worst offender before for me.


> YouTube was the worst offender before for me.

Uber. Hands down. I'm using it a lot less since they started sending ads on the same notification channel as my ride updates.


Another technique for me is to avoid apps like Instagram, Facebook and Youtube. I run them all through mobile Firefox with uBlock origin and custom block scripts that block sponsored posts and shorts. This combines well with having Youtube's history turned off which prevents the algorithmic suggestions.

I give apps a one strike policy on notification spam. If they do it at all, I'm uninstalling it until I actually need to use it next (if I can't find an alternative). And the same goes for getting in my way to beg for a review on the app store: that's a shortcut to getting a one-star rating.

The main exception to this is the notification spam from Google asking me to rate call quality after every damn call. I don't have my phone rooted, so I can't turn off that category of notification.


This is the way. You get one chance, app. If you send me an unwanted notification, you're done. You have to almost treat these apps as attackers.

Why even give most apps even one chance? For almost every app I have zero interest in ever getting a notification from. I see no reason to give them an opportunity to annoy me even once.

Honestly because I won't remember to go into the settings page and disable it. When a notification comes in, there's a quick route to disable forever, otherwise I have to go preemptively digging

Yea even in the US where there's a rather lot of home invasions (~million/yr), even amongst the ones where the occupier is injured-or-worse (~250k/yr), very very few of them are fatal (<500/yr).


Finals not being over might make the idea unlikely


They started yesterday. A student who is going to outright fail it will likely know immediately before the results are in.


In the US at least, duty to protect and serve is just a marketing slogan.

There are multiple court cases decisions showing that police have no duty to protect people. All the way up to the Supreme Court


"Protect and Serve" (the State)

(the status quo)

Accurate. Systemic perturbations are typically bad for most "old money".

How long to leave in depends on the dough, but you can get a quick rise in like less than an hour in the right temperature. Definitely don't leave it too long. I routinely forget and then it rises too much and eventually collapses when you go to bake it.

I use like 65% or maybe 70% hydration for bread, little more for whole wheat. Like 25:1 sugar (or less?), 100:1 salt, 100:1 yeast. High protein flour if you can.

For just basic bread, no sourdough, not a sandwich loaf, etc.


> Can you imagine if Google could only release a new API if all their customers simultaneously updated to that new API? You need loose coupling between services.

Internal Google services: *sweating profusely*

(Mostly in jest, it's obviously a different ballgame internal to the monorepo on borg)


Ah ha, so.... come to Minnesota, there's talk with !False all the time. It fits very naturally brain-wise coming from Chinese. Just, hope you're from Dongbei or similar 'cus lol weather.

Actually in Minnesota it goes way past just !False construction, in a way that also translates well from Chinese, because you get a lot of face saving phrases. Like "that's different" as a polite way of saying something is bad.

I suspect you just learned a different kind of English.


I couldn't help but think of that classic "How to talk like a Minnesotan" video.


I guess this is one of the other articles it is referencing: https://www.mainepublic.org/2025-11-20/wood-banks-in-maine-a...

Communal chopping of firewood is something I remember from like.... two decades ago?

Maybe it's less of a "collapse" thing, and more of a "we haven't invested enough time & resources to get better cheap distributed heating solutions that don't create so much pollution"?

Human volunteer power to cut down some local trees is a lot cheaper than, e.g., buying a geothermal installation, with solar and battery backup (battery backup would need to last for days in rural Maine if a winter storm breaks the solar).
