or microwave with a wet paper towel over it.

While that worked for decades, it’s where air fryers really shine.

Outside will dry out and get crispy, but the inside retains moisture. I searched online first to make sure it was a thing, but there’s some math involved with how big it is because it’s so fast.

But I put off getting one for years because I didn’t see the use for it. But I can’t remember the last time I used my microwave now. Everything that needs reheated goes in the air fryer.

Just don’t put a liner in till it’s pre-heated or it turns into a flamethrower

You don’t need to be a billionaire or even own a boat…

People stage accidents on rented boats and even cruise ships fairly often.

Regardless of if it works and they get away with it, a lot of people have seen Dexter.

Billionaires can just outspend the government on lawyers to get away with anything. So there’s probably a higher percentage who assume they can get away with it.

Because DA’s are obsessed with win rate, they give cushy plea deals to people who can pay for good lawyers. Regular people and the government are the opposite, and innocent people are forced to take plea deals because time served and probation is always better than a 1% chance of 25 years in prison.

For a billionaire they just have to keep stalling till the money runs out. Even where Kirk got shot, the local officials were immediately freaking out over how they were going to pay for it all. So it doesn’t even take being a millionaire in some places. There’s a reason the children of lawyers are usually insufferable…

It’s like 1 of 2 days where the whole country shuts down. Even if a person doesn’t celebrate, they shouldn’t have to work

Man, I really didn’t think I had to explicitly point out lots of people have to take Christmas off, but have to burn personal days for their own holidays…

But here we are, me overestimating people again.

…

You realize a shit ton of Americans don’t care about Christmas…

Right?

And for the ones that do care about other religious holidays, the whole country doesn’t shut down to accommodate them.

It’s not innate…

Innately humans are just animals. It takes effort to get people on the same page that cooperating is usually best

But we stopped teaching kids that in school 20 years ago.

That’s the sad truth about it. It’s not that the right corrupted a generation, just that between them an the neoliberals, no one wanted to help them. They both wanted brain dead tribalism because that’s what their mutual donors want

It honestly shouldn’t be that hard for everyone to follow the string back to "no child left behind’ but I remember pointing out this would happen 30 years ago, and I thought it was obvious back then too.

If you’ve never read the Tao Te Ching, it could actually help

It’s not gonna solve all your problems, but that books thousands of years old and helped millions and millions of people deal with what you’re talking about.

It’s a really short (and cheap) book, it’s worth a shot.

I just feel like I’m trying so very hard at all at this is all and to read so many comments that I’m not trying hard enough is a bit heartbreaking

Like I said, don’t jump straight to trying to react appropriately. Focus on not reacting poorly in the heat of the moment.

Break it down even more if you want. Setting small frequent goals so they can be reached consistently is going to solve that issue where you feel like nothing is done. Like, a first goal can be just stay calm the next time you get heated. Not a permanent personality change, you just need that one good interaction to hit the goal and your brain will give you dopamine.

Keep it up long enough, and it becomes normal. Then you make your goal slightly harder to get more dopamine. Think of it like a video game, because they’re already designed to exploit how our brains work.

Quick edit:

But don’t talk about it. Talking about achieving goals gives the same dopamine hit. And why so many people fall into the trap of just talking about stuff

The Tao gets into that as well, but science has caught up enough to know why.

Finding a bipolar person that fully accepts their diagnosis is as likely as finding someone in prison who admits they’re guilty…

It’s a bad rollercoaster where people improve, feel like they don’t need meds, and then stop causing issues.

Medicating it, gets rid of the “highs” that the patient has been used to their whole lives. And it’s very hard to convince them that’s worth the tradeoff when the meds are barely holding back a manic phase.

OP doesn’t just need a therapist and more/different drugs, they need to go to detox and get sober off all the random shit they’re self medicating with. Especially the meth and ketamine, it’s not just bipolar that’s an issue.

Why the fuck does everyone think I’m lashing out at all of these therapists

That’s something your therapist will explain…

Like, my entire comment was about how you need to chill out first, and now go back and read your comment again and see how you reacted to it

This is why people you know and interact with in real life keep telling you to see a therapist

One of her favorite things to ask me is “how can you deal with X?” And I get frustrated and say “I don’t know.” Because if I fucking knew I wouldn’t be in therapy.

She’s not a mind reader…

Tell her how you do deal with it, even if it’s not ideal.

Then she’ll lead you to talk about other ways you could have handled it. If you’re getting frustrated and lashing out just talking about a hypothetical, what the fuck are you doing in real life?

You want to react well in situations, and that’s great, and the first step is getting help.

But I think you need to adjust expectations. Before you can react well, you have to not react shitty.

Aim for that as your first goal.

If you’ve never read the Tao Te Ching, it could actually help. It’s all about just letting go and not working against yourself, bend don’t break basically.

You go to Glasgow

The only real way to identify a problem, is get boots on the ground 2.5k km always, with a giant ocean for most of that space.

Want to be able to get the whole picture you see, the entire Eastern facing shore, then we’ll so what’s a vountry…

Racing games too, especially single player races.

If conditions are the same every run, it will eventually find the mathematically fastest way. I saw a video about a guy doing it, and after thousands of runs the bot noticed a glitch if the car wasn’t on four wheels allowing it to move insanely fast. Like grinding a rail in Tony Hawk, the bot would immediately do it, and run the entire course on the glitch.

That’s not human intelligence tho, that’s the same as when a slime mold can design a transportation network as effectively as we can.

I can’t believe I’m not really not really flying a spaceship!

Leonard > Amy

Work is hard, modern games are easy.

Shoot this dot, go to that dot, bring “x” to this dot…

Anything requiring critical thinking like a puzzle, the bot just brute forces trying every possible outcome until something works.

It works because games have a finite set of options and at least one progresses. The real world isn’t that clean, and you don’t get infinite chances to get 1 correct solution.

Nope…

But Greenland is currently a semi-autonomous part of Denmark, which is unhappy about Trump’s latest move.

It’s not a country.

Yeah, I was confusing the long-term problem of re-entry with the long term problem of staying up there…

Even with heat shields they warm up the atmosphere and release particulates and gases

But you’re right.

new anti-satellite weapon to target Elon Musk’s Starlink constellation with destructive orbiting clouds of shrapnel

1. That’s what Starlink satellites will become on their own.

2. The trash cloud won’t go away, it’ll stay up there destroying future satellites as well.

We could very well permanently fuck ourselves over with this, and arguably already have. Because the people putting satellites up are just worried about short term profits and nothing more than a decade from now.

I always thought because the target demo was kids…

You’re biggest villain/rival is still a kid in your class that goes to the same gym class as you.

when the bottom line replaces humanities interest

And there’s room for some capitalism before that point…

Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that’s capitalism.

Capitalism is like any other vice.

In moderation it’s fine, often even beneficial.

But if it’s the sole focus you’re fucked. We’re not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we’re full blown crackheads on capitalism.

The AI corps building the datacenters pretty much all have blank checks and want to be the biggest.

So the other corps that make chips, will always focus on what’s most profitable, which is what the AI centers use.

For it to be “worth it” to produce any consumer level tech, they have to raise the price to justify not just making the AI chips

So it’s not a conspiracy that’s raising prices, it’s capitalism working as intended, and to fix it would have to fix the focus on profits and replace it with fulfilling needs of the people. Which is pretty much the opposite of capitalism…
