You may not have much experience with spoiled teenagers.

Voicing ones opinion without regard for the people involved, just because they're allowed to have one, is pretty much the spoiled teenager MO. Just like not realizing this goes both ways.

But then the food is in the way, so how would you know?

Ever visited the Netherlands? Almost all urban intersections are roundabouts. It works.

How would you explain roundabouts having consistently better throughput, even when compared to traffic lights?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Roundabouts have consistently fewer casualties, and usually better traffic flow. Those seem like valid reasons to me.

Security through obscurity is a very valid way to secure something. It shouldn't be the only way of securing something, but it can be a valid additional layer.

The knock sequence is a secret, just like a password. It may not be a particularly strong secret, but is is strong enough to keep out casual attackers. You'll still need additional security, but sshd is well equipped to provide that.

The AI bubble produced many useful products already, many of which will remain useful even after the bubble popped.

The term bubble is mostly about how investment money flows around. Right now you can get near infinite moneys if you include the term AI in your business plan. Many of the current startups will never produce a useful product, and after the bubble has truly popped, those who haven't will go under.

Amazon, ebay, booking and cisco survived the dotcom bubble, as they attracted paying users before the bubble ended. Things like github copilot, dalee, chat bots etc are genuinely useful products which have already attracted paying cusomers. Some of these products may end up being provided by competitors of the current providers, but someone will make long term money from these products.

Skim milk still contains virtually all of the lactose, by the way. Lactose is water soluble, so it remains in the milk when the fat is skimmed off.

As others have suggested, lactose free milk is the best option. (which is just milk with a small amount of lactase. Your body naturally makes lactase, it's not some kind of unnatural chemical).

However, if your GF has objections to lactase, soy milk is a great alternative. Soy milk foam is firmer than cow milk foam, but it tastes less sweet. You could add sugar to compensate, but I find I actually favor the taste over regular milk.

To be fair, that's true for most US headlines these days:

  • coup-leader repliblican favorite for president.
  • Pro-life movement causes infant and maternal mortality to rise.
  • Debt ceiling negotiations will start about 4 weeks before deadline.

Stop gatekeeping conservatism. Allow the party to change for the better.

Keep in mind that party policies don't always reflect the voters opinions, as the party primary follows donor opinions, not voter opinions.

Depends on where you ride your bicycle.

In the US, bicycle deaths are at 79 per billion miles src. In the Netherlands, this is 17 per billion miles. src.

Note that the Dutch take much more risk when cycling. It is normal for young kids to cycle to school and sports unsupervised. Bicycle helmets are very rare. Despite that "reckless behavior", cycling is quite safe here. Having dedicated cycling infrastructure really helps.
