    thanks! I'm no mathematician and won't pretend to understand what's going on there, but I've stumbled across some "This knowledge is too much for a human brain to hold and therefore I have gone mad" tropes (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoMadFromTheRevelation) that I was always wondering if there are actual IRL examples of this

    yo, do you blog? I would read your blog/diary/novel. You have a very calm(ing), distanced and at the same time immediate sense to your writing. It's good readin'!

    Also bought Nova Launcher Prime, but they were apparently acquired in the last year so now Nova is spyware? Anyway, I switched over to Kvaesitso and couldn't be happier.

    no matter. I know that Career foundry offers (used to offer?) a "pay after" scheme for some of their certifications. So it doesn't cost you anything up front, but you set up a contract where you'd pay them like 5-10% of your new job's wages for a set time.

    Please don't! Do you qualify for state-sponsored training? I know some people who have really improved their situation by taking advantage of the courses the unemployment office offers.

    Doesn't Austria have a law that allows employees to reduce hours to part-time as they see fit? We do here in Germany. Last place I worked at, my team lead didn't want me to reduce from full-time to 80%. The Betriebsrat (employee council) was ready to go to bat for me, but I didn't like the role anyway, so I interviewed for another place. They offered me 80%, a pay raise, a better role and benefits.

    This might come off as bragging, I realize. Sorry, not my intention. I just wanted to share my experience, maybe it's useful to someone 😊

    Reminder: none of the currently available methods of cloud seeding are proven to work.

    https://www.wired.com/story/new-gods-weather-rain-cloud-seeding-emirates/

    Yes, it all works in theory and in the lab, but in practice we have no idea if cloud seeding "makes it rain" or if it would have rained anyway (to make a long story very short).

    So take anything anyone says about "them making it rain" with, like, two grains of salt.

    Your bread is sweet. Like, all of it. And not just like, pleasantly so like a French brioche, but almost candy-like. Wonder Bread is one of the worst offenders, coming in at 5g added sugars per 100g: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wonder-Bread-Classic-White-Sandwich-Bread-Sliced-White-Bread-20-oz/37858875?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1600

    Edit: as a commenter pointed out, it's actually closer to 9g/100g, bringing it to soda levels of sugar ಠ_ಠ

  • Kaufempfehung: Schleifsteine für Küchenmesser

    Diese Steine sind schon mal ein guter Anfang, genauso wie der Horl. Richtig geil scharf (also so dass ich mich damit rasieren kann) würden meine Messer aber erst mit der richtigen Technik und Abziehledern. Und da gibt's kaum was gscheiteres als das Vierkant-Werkzeug von Schmiedeglut IMHO. Preislich zwischen den Billigsteinen von Amazon und dem Horl.

    Unbedingt die Videos zur Bedienung des Herstellers auf YT gucken (auch wenn mir der Typ auf'n Sack geht) und ein paar von Outdoors55 zur fundierteren Ergänzung.

    Cops lure pedophiles with AI pics of teen girl. Ethical triumph or new disaster?

    I feel like there's two stories here:

    1. Snap is a pedo grooming ground

    2. Police are generating fake CSAM

    3. is, well, yeah . Like any major network you have creeps, Nazis and pedos and it's good to root them out. It's weird that themselves don't do that.

    4. is ... difficult. I feel like the cops that prompt GenAIs to produce (sexualized) images of children risk severe trauma. It must be punishing to ask a a machine to produce fake images of morally reprehensible material. That's gotta take a toll on you. What's even more important is that those people could be spending their time taking down actual child abuse images.

    I can't wrap my head around that.

    There cannot be any medical reason for doing this, surely. Even more interesting that the medical profession hasn't changed guidelines by themselves by now.

    Nichtsahnend kaufen die Freundin und ich im lokalen Gutmenschenmarkt ein und dabei eben auch Reinigungsmittel der Firma Sonett, weil das klingt erstens so nett und zweitens soll das besonders umweltfreundlich sein und das ist ja ganz in unserem Sinne. Auf der Zutatenliste taucht das nn "verwirbeltes Wasser" auf und mir schwant Übles. Serviceorientiert lüftet Sonett das Geheimnis gleich selbst: https://www.sonett.eu/qualitaet/wasser/ - das Wasser wirbelt spagyrisch um Lebensenergiekristalle entfaltet dadurch sein optimales Energiepotential. Das kann man zwar nicht nachweisen, aber die Cluster sagen das. Habt ihr nicht verstanden? JA; DA GIBT'S JA AUCH NIXY ZU VERSTEHEN"! WAS SOLL DIE SCHEI?E DENN!? Ich will doch einfach nur Gutes tun mit meinem Geld und hab jetzt die Gehirnwäschemafia unterstützt maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Mehr Infos zu Wasserschwachsinn übrigens bei den Science Cops: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=science+cops+wasser
