It’s interesting to meet someone else who also struggles with an overuse of parentheses and ellipses (I didn’t know what they were called, thanks for that!).

This is a complete shot in the dark, but do you also happen to be on the spectrum? (I have nothing to base this on expect my theory that overclarification could be more common among neurodivergent people)

Edit: ellipsis -> ellipses

Here in Finland the standard seems to be 8-16, with 30 min lunch, for a total of 37,5h work per week

My partner sets two alarms, one an hour earlier when they take the adhd medicine and go back to sleep. It has sped up their bed -> outside time significantly.

Oh that makes so much sense. I was wondering why single-click would ever be default.

How about pixel?

Like volume mixer in windows?

Well, here (in middle of finland) the sun set at 14:30, so there wasn’t all that much solar energy available.

Also heat pumps are always at least as efficient as straight electric heating.

Oh it hadn’t occured to me that not only salt causes osmosis. Thank you for the explanation!

Seems like I’m going to boil the potatoes whole in the future, thanks again :)

Isn’t the osmosis minimized when the salt concentration of the water matches that of the potatoes, and thus it shouldn’t affect the saltiness of the end product? Assuming that the water is thrown away of course.

Do you know whether salting the water heavily affects the water absorption rate of cut potatoes? It should reduce it on cell level, but I don’t know if that is the case with starch

Another option is adding canned chickpeas, they work with almost any ramen

I suggest going straight to https://kagi.com, or you can also use your current search engine to find it using query “kagi”.

But to be serious, it’s great. The search results themselves feel like how google used to feel years ago before the enshittification, and there are many useful features, like changing priority of different websites. I for example have removed all pinterest sites, reduced instagram and increased wikipedia weighting. They have a free 200 search trial, give it a go!

Thanks, I was wondering whether this could be achieved using lenses

Probably, since every other post is about search engines, and many of us have been cursing the ever-worsening search results from google, with no real alternative (that actually provides better results than google).

Now that there is finally an ad-free product that performs like Google did 5-10 years ago, of course, I want others to have the same experience and not get frustrated when they can’t find the information they’re seeking.

Have you tried it? At least for me, I often get better results compared to google. Also Kagi has a free trial of 100 searches.

Granted I’m a developer, so my job is basically just searching for information, so getting better results is really valuable for me.

I go through the alphabets and try to come up with a words that starts with each letter, that fits in a specific category. Atm I’m working on fruits, so Apple, Banana, Coconut etc.

That’s good, stealing is wrong

I started using it about a month ago, and I’m now having a pretty good muscle memory. I like how having larger keys makes it much easier to “touch-type” (even thought I can barely do it, but I see the potential).

The only thing I’m missing is auto-completing my email and home address, but oh well.

I can get tinnitus if I have too much ear-wax and I have to remove it periodically, since it wont come out on its own.
