> I thought I was going into the tech industry and it turns out I'm really in the addiction industry. I now know a lot about how to deliver hits of dopamine at scale that bump up daily engagement

You could've got out sooner once you caught a whiff of this?

And where do you place the people at the US Capitol on January 6th?

Do you work for their marketing department?

This commercial fell completely flat for me. It's cringe like they're trying to be a sitcom, but all the jokes miss. It's not cool or aspirational. I don't leave thinking I need this new thing in my kitchen.

Please check aquifer levels and let us know if they're back to historic norms.

Interesting, the NYT had a tip on flipping every 90s, but it was with a cast-iron pan and not a "cold sear". That was too smokey for our weak kitchen exhaust, so it was the last time I tried flipping multiple times.

But Lam Lam's cold sear video doesn't seem to make that much smoke on a non-stick, so I'll give this a shot again.

(Personally the reverse sear has been my idiotproof go-to.)

Thanks!

I beg to differ: over-easy is more difficult because the egg whites stick more readily because there's no fat there. And you really can't mess up scrambled eggs.

Everyone here seems to drown their over-easy eggs in oil to make them not stick to the pan.

I can cook an over-easy egg with less than a teaspoon of oil on a non-stick.

If I do it on cast-iron, it's easily twice that. That adds up to a lot of oil being throw away in a year. And while I love butter on bread, I don't want the taste of it with my eggs.

Logging in is enough friction to prevent me from browsing casually. Especially when I'm on a work computer.

One benefit is my productivity had a temporary boost this week until I find another site to read.

Unfortunately Germany phased out nuclear power, but continues to burn coal.

Listeners will likely want to avoid it.

But "creators" pushing AI music won't tag their slop as such because they want to monetize (surprise, they're not doing it for the love of the game).

So this hinges on Tidal being able to reliably identify AI-generated music.

> They are criminals, and they are committing crimes, but everyone knows that.

77.2 million people in America don't seem to know, or don't seem to care.
