Two people both wanting to cancel, forcing themselves to go to something neither of them want to be at, is truly the backbone of society.

What if you have a bad memory and blank when you're put on the spot, so you like something but can't remember why you liked it when someone asks

The problem is, loading things takes different amounts of time. I once tried to implement a real loading bar for an app because it took long enough to load that clients needed some indication that the app hadn't crashed. There were seven steps, so I naively made each step take about 14% of the bar. Then I tested it, and it just jumped to step 4, sat there for the entire loading process, and then jumped to 100%. Because loading isn't linear.

The only way for loading bars to work is for them to be fake.

This is a really interesting take because the majority of negative reactions to this post are "why would anyone need this just cancel you coward don't you know how to talk to people" while yours is "yes I understand the point and would want to use this if it existed, therefore it must not exist because it's bad for me" lmao

Is "how many people from your own instance subscribe" even a useful metric? I don't see what value it brings, I don't care how many people on there happen to also come from my instance, I just want to know which instance has the most active version of this community.

It's not like all those subreddits existed at 0.1 though.

It's from the Unofficial Ghibli Cookbook, the Thibaud Vilanova one! a picture of the page

The broth it's mentioning is just "simmer 8.5 cups of water with 10g of kombu and 40g of bonito flakes for 35 minutes, then strain"

Everyone at my work who has this runs into issues whenever they need to share their screens, apologizing for low resolution or painstakingly resizing every window to mimic multiple screens anyway.

The dangers of raw eggs are generally the dangers of getting eggs covered in feces from sick chickens. I only buy pasture raised eggs from small farms, which minimizes the risk of illness (although as a kid I ate plenty of raw cookie dough from regular eggs without incident soo...) This specific chicken egg is from a chicken raised on a natural pasture with at least 108 square feet of space per bird and as much time outdoors as they would like all year.

Some people just can't stand the texture though - the egg cooks some in the rice, but there is still some of that runniness for sure.

What do you mean by "established" though? Is a community with 80 people from my instance and 500 more across all other instances less established than one with 250 people from my instance and 30 more across all other instances? If so, how? Legitimate question - I'm new here and it's possible there's a good reason to care, but I can't see one.

Why?

I actually love this. So often I have a plan where I'm like "if you actually want to do this thing, then I'm here and happy to be there with you. But if you're not really interested but just sticking to the commitment because you're afraid my feelings will be hurt if you cancel...I promise they won't let's just cancel." But if I say this to someone, they could interpret it as "I don't want to go", which isn't true! If you want to go, I want to go. I just want to gauge your level of wanting-to-go.

The truth, in a way that isn't overly critical of my current employer and emphasizes what I hope to get from a new opportunity. I take it less as "what's wrong with the company you're leaving" and more "what are you looking for from a company you're interested in jumping to", which has very similar answers but focuses on the positive and also gives them actually relevant information that they can use to help you. They can connect the dots that the reason you're looking for that is because you're not finding it there, without you having to trash a company yourself.

I used The Woks Of Life! They have a steamed version too but I prefer baked texture.

"Just give us a point value, we don't need a time estimate."

"Okay, so 2 points is roughly equal to 12 hours..."

Well the important thing is that you're here to tell me I'm wrong about what I do and don't want.

You may not have any nuance when it comes to whether or not you want to do things, I get it, kind of. A lot of people here seem to be very black and white about either you want to or you don't and really can't wrap their head around the idea that others have shades of gray and conditions that can effect whether or not they want to go.

I believe in you.

What's your plan for what to do with it? Frame it and put it on your wall? :)

Yeah people do that, until you're sharing a code window and then need to see if it works on a browser and then your dev tools are popped out so you have three windows...or you don't want to just have one meeting and one window visible, you also want slack or a window for googling or something similar...

It's all workaround-able, it's just minor annoyance after minor annoyance lol.

Did the peppercorns numb your mouth?
