Bat is really cool - I share your enthusiasm! As far as I remember, the repo for bat has a bunch of example use cases that I hadn’t thought of, fyi!

In Denmark we quite happily pay a fuck tonne of tax but you get a lot of bang for your buck:

you get money whether you’re a student, unemployed, to old or mentally/physically unwell to work, or one year after you’ve given birth. If you’re homeless you can get accommodation (not sure how this works though). Parents get some money for clothing and food for their kids until they turn 18. No free water though, but like clean tap water for 2 USD/ cubic metre so pretty affordable

My Benriner mandoline slice. Given how much I use it, and sometimes isn’t careful enough, it’s a surprise I still have all of my fingertips

Thanks!

I’ve never used salt for soaking/boiling them - when do you add it, and how much do you use?

Yep! You can also make onigiris and dip them in it

Do you put them in the oven first? I feel that makes a big difference for me

To be fair, I think it fits the format quite well - would the high guy know mushrooms aren’t plants? We don’t know!

It’s ok. Your psychologist knows. We all have stuff we don’t want other people to know.

The nice way of thinking about it is that you’re just not comfortable opening up yet, and that’s ok. Literally just say “there’s stuff I’m not comfortable sharing with you yet”, and then talk a bit about your feelings, and expectations.

I can recommend the book by Douglas W. Hubbard:

How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business

Danish person here, I reckon it also helps a lot that our education is free in the Nordics, and public transport is so good we don’t need to be given a car.

If you run in front of a car, you’ll get tired.

If you run behind a car, you’ll get exhausted.

Their core feature is secure messaging, so I’d say this result highlights their dedication to the secure aspect of it. So an excellent feature in terms of branding, and probably has more benefits in other places e.g. attracting talent, as developers now can see Signal offers great opportunities to work on complex problems.

So I’m curious; what do you think would be better investment of their time?

I tried cognitive behavioural therapy which helped with a bunch of other stuff, but didn’t help me get to the root of my core challenges. I’m with one now which does the following (according to her website):

Theoretically, I am grounded in the psychodynamic tradition and the neuroaffective understanding of attachment and emotional development.

I realized the books I’ve read and got a lot out of may only exist in Danish: “Drop opdragelsen” and “derfor forelsker du dig aldrig i den forkerte”

I’ve been there. Reasons for this might be different depending on who you are. For me, I’d been hurt by the ones that I loved, and subconsciously put up a wall to protect myself so I was “prepared” in case I would get hurt again. On the flipside I also couldn’t be my most authentic self, so I felt a lot more distanced when being with friends and family. For me, a lot of talking, therapy, and books helped me tremendously, but I’m still on a journey.

So yes, it’s normal, and it can get better.

Propane and propane-related accessories

Now that’s smart!

If I’m not AI, can I lie and pretend that I’m AI? I’m AI, btw.

Det er åbenbart meget normalt at kvinder ender med at stå for en masse “usynligt” arbejde - jeg har lige selv færdiggjort denne bog https://carolinecriadoperez.com/book/invisible-women/ som bl.a. viser statistikker på bl.a.: rengøring, pasning og omsorg til børn/familie, etc etc. Og det løber op i sindssygt mange timer! Som mand synes jeg virkelig det var spændende (og lidt uhyggelig) læsning om hvor meget kvinder finder sig i.

Definitely agree!!
