  • It’s just limp dick size that changes but summer penis and cold shrinkage can definitely happen to a man.

    Of course if you live far from the equator, you might also get summer horny to combat the winter SAD. I think this one is gender neutral, but might be helpful to have a lady chime in on this one.


  • Hey, I agree that Thanos was stupid as hell. If he really wanted to save the universe, as an all powerful god at the point where he’s got all the infinity stones, he could’ve done something about reproduction rates, or resources being regeneratable… I just meant he’s the only one I’ve been able to empathize with recently. There’s so many villains who just want power for the sake of it, or to end the world. Thanos wanted to do what he thought would save the world. Was it stupid? Sure. But his goal was not.


  • The AI only needs to alert the doctor that something is off and should be tested for. It does not replace doctors, but augments them. It’s actually a great use for AI, it’s just not what we think of as AI in a post-LLM world. The medically useful AI is pattern recognition. LLMs may also help doctors if they need a starting point into researching something weird and obscure, but ChatGPT isn’t being used for diagnosing patients, nor is anything any AI says the “final verdict”. It’s just a tool to improve early detection of disorders, or it might point someone towards an useful article or book.










  • Here in northern Europe dairy and meat industry go hand in hand, that is, when a dairy cow stops being productive it gets ground to beef.

    For regions where beef as food is more valued than here (beef’s so expensive, few people buy it in Estonia), meat moos are entirely different breeds and fed differently. Milk moos might end up as mince, but probably not a quality steak. You don’t need nearly as many moos if you’re only producing milk, and then maybe some meat products from cows, compared to when you’re raising a bunch specifically to be eaten.

    Chickens raised for meat also don’t lay eggs. So if you only eat eggs and not chicken, way fewer chickens are needed. Also, if you’re not even willing to go vegetarian, switch out beef and pork for chicken. Per kilogram of meat, chicken is way less carbon intensive (pork is also less intensive than beef). It’s still a lot compared to eating potatoes from your own garden of course.


  • Mine chimes a quaint little song. It’s enough because it can be heard pretty much anywhere in the house unless I’m in the basement. If I’m not home, the notification wouldn’t be particularly useful - I might as well just check when I get home.

    I mean the idea isn’t the absolute worst. I just don’t think it’s a huge QoL improvement either.

    I can see value in HVAC IoT. Away from home and there’s a cold spell? Turn up the heating so your pipes don’t freeze, but also run it higher when electricity is cheaper (if you have variable pricing).

    I don’t think I’d want my microwave, washing machine, or toilet to have IoT features though.
