chemists live longer because all the poisons are fighting each other.

Neat, I saw that one but it’s usa power. I was looking around and it seems like lots of 240 V models are all basically the same model with different labels from china. https://jackiem.com.au/2023/09/11/review-portable-concave-induction-stove/ this essentially.

When I’ve got some dosh I was gonna give it serious thought. Stir fry just doesn’t work without the superheated ring.

I think sometimes when I try to point out that political violence underpins much of society people hear “violence is good actually”.

It’s frustrating because what I’m trying to point out is actually the opposite. Prostrating yourself lets other people use violence with no checks.

How was the induction wok thing? I’ve been thinking of getting one, if you mean the curved hob type thing vs flat bottomed wok.

Looks like it worked a treat!

I’m a native plant person, my only non natives planted are avocado and mulberry because I am a weak creature of flesh and blood.

As far as Aussie nuts I basically only know macadamia ~ 3-8 meters, dwarf form possible but nutmeat is quite small, and bunya nuts ~ 30 meters sometimes kills people with falling megapinecone nut things.

If anyone removes natives to plant fir trees they deserve that fate.

Your garden is beautiful!

And lots, and lots, of painstakingly collected data to measure against

Is mass spec hard to explain? Zapy deflecty binny county correlatey.

Yeah it breaks with a mattock. Have to redress the edge every couple of hours but nothing too terrible. It looks like a digging bar might be the ticket for getting in deep. Using the mattock requires making great big pits cause you can’t come straight down after a certain depth.

I can probably hire an electric auger, although tool rental gets pricey if you can’t just work through it all in a day.

Had another crack at the stump this morning and it’s horrible. Catch 22 as you need to move soil to cut the roots but the roots hold the soil. Because it’s raised beds I don’t have the room to dig further back and I’ve found my hands, the hose, and a small bucket for bailing the best way to get in between the mat of roots.

The council nixed burning it. If I can’t get under it I guess I’ll just make a chisel from a railway spike and split chunks off with a sledge hammer. Should come out if the sides are cut away and the new tree can figure it’s way around the roots of the stump.

Chunks + boulders and fragments thereof. If you imagined loosely piling sandstone rocks from fist sized to head sized and filling the gaps with mud and sand that’s the soil. shallowly (50- 15 cm) over slabs of sandstone.

No post holer, but jumping on a trenching shovel won’t drive it into the ground. I normally break it with a mattock first.

Stumps are in and around, one I’m digging out as it’s directly in the way. It is awful work and I’ve got bilateral subluxed ulner nerves because of it haha.

Unlike tissue paper yaml is actually fit for purpose. I actually don’t know of any lang that literally can’t run a program. The most you could stretch what you’re saying to is that some esolangs are akin to making bricks of packed tissues to build with. They are art projects not serious submissions though.

I don’t like js as much as anyone else but as evidenced by reality it works. Programmers need to stop sniffing their own farts, you have such strong opinions about the most insane shit when at most you should be talking about narrower scopes for use and trade offs.

Hey would you rather build from wood or steel?

What glue is better: 2 part epoxy or PVA?

Do you prefer soap or bleach as cleaning agent?

Pleased to have touched your life with levity, stranger.

That is absolute nonsense. Where does the idea that the nastiest expression of desires is the truest come from? It’s a completely absurd and unverifiable idea.

People do stuff, putting people in power over others tends to result in the people doing worse stuff. The variable we can tweak here is the power.

Programmers hate everything. You could design a spec which serenades you with angel song and feeds you chocolate dipped grapes and someone would be like: This is awful, my usecase is being a dog.

Fuck yeah topical reference

Very few people start with big transgressions. Usually stuff escalates.

It’s why need systems that don’t put humans in situations where bad behaviour is incentivised. Also why we need to be forgiving when someone comes forward with a small transgression, so people don’t get stuck in escalating cycles.

I’m sure this guy did some solid research once upon a time.

I’d think rats, except they came over carried on vermin. So who knows.

Are you sure about braindeath being a mental condition? My thoughts, confirmed by quick googling, was a medical-legal standard for death based on permanent death of the brain. As a person can otherwise be vegetative/comatosed or whatever, or like a liver can keep operating for a while etc.

As an insult I think it’s meant to be taken as “This is only explainable if you have no brain activity” not “you are like a living human with a different or damaged brain”.
