Do you also wait until the inside of the meat is the temperature you want before taking it off the grill, then are later surprised when it is overcooked?

I felt this on my last truck shipment. My previous LTL provider suddenly closed and the next cheapest option is more than twice as expensive.

Unfortunately, no. People talk about the times. I was sick and tired of covid posts a few years ago. Or nodejs before that.

Visualizing for me has always been like touching something with my eyes closed. I can't "see" the object, but I have a feeling for all the shapes and contours. You can feel which way a key is in your hand and where each ridge is without having to see it. I solve geometry problems the same way. I can't see the whole thing at once, but I can move my sense of feeling across arbitrary scenes.

I'm a fan of the t-rex:

> given choice between complexity or one on one against t-rex, grug take t-rex: at least grug see t-rex

That section reminds me of The Litany Against Fear.

The other thread above helped me. You can have as many collinear points as you want as long as at least one point in the set is non-collinear.

Consider a 3x3 grid. It satisfies this argument.

I learned the pig pen cipher from a library book in maybe 4th grade. My friends had fun with if off and on through high school.

Camping gear, hammocks, bags, any small change or repair. Strap breaks on a backpack, fix it. Pocket rips, fix it.

The fact that it arrives cold and soggy is now an evolutionary pressure on our cuisine.

You can grow them yourself. I had no effort producing more than I can use in only a few years time.

Why is that? It seems the other direction? I want to be sure I can complete a task in a certain amount of wall clock time. If the tokens per second are slow, then I am risking more by running a single approach at a time, and then have an incentive to try to multiplex my attention between separate work-streams. If the generation is fast enough to occupy my attention then there is no more available improvement by having parallel threads.
