My dogs cuddle on me, and then distance themselves from me while panting because I run so hot… They lay on concrete in the hot Texas summer sun, but I’m somehow too warm for them.

Remember when the wet bulb temperature was evolutionarily advantageous for sweat-monsters like me? Now I’m just as hot, and infinitely more wet than everyone around me.

No sense of smell. Sometimes called nose-blind
Greatest trick I learned is to open the carton, and then gently shake it side to side while watching the eggs. Check the ones that didn’t wiggle.
I’m obsessed with peanut butter. I’m also allergic to it. My constant consumption as a child helped reduce my once-moderate allergy to a mild one, according to my allergist.
Which is why it was so wild for me when I temporarily became totally anosmic when I caught COVID. My mom has been completely anosmic the majority of my life, and as someone who loves to cook for her, I took advantage of my situation to quickly taste as many ingredients as possible and come up with recipes that would be more exciting for her.
After trying the entire source rack, fresh garlic, salsas, hot sauces, pepper, lemons and lemon rinds, I got to peanut butter. Suddenly, my mouth and throat were on fire and there was an inescapable flavor of wood. That’s when I remembered that I’m still allergic to peanut butter.
Have I been making my omelettes without walnut shell fragments wrong this whole time???

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?English
8 daysYeah, I thought I was in one of the programming communities (we call them communities vs subreddits, which is why they’re prepended with “c/” instead of “r/”), which is why I was being so anal about creators and their values/meticulousness.
Obviously, for a community that’s often full of people posting “look what I found,” or “here’s my advice,” I was proposing far too much rigor that would absolutely kill the mood here.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?English
8 daysOh, I just noticed what community I was commenting in. Yes, you’re completely right, then. It’s more of a helpful little tag for those who are interested than a filter for different types of creators.
I’d assumed, obviously incorrectly and with the wrong context, that you were expressing anti-AI views, so I was trying to communicate how not fully standardizing (labeling) the data (posts) would affect you from your, once again, improperly assumed perspective.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[META] Should AI disclosure tags [AI], [NOT AI] be mandated when sharing projects?English
8 daysEdit: whoops, I thought this was a different community. Ignore me.
Yes, but no. [Not AI] tags would be just as much for your benefit as it would be for the poster’s. Until they become official tags in a mandatory field to post, someone who cuts corners is going to skip reading the rules and post without a tag. Or even if the onus were only on the “AI” posters, then they’ll miss or forget to check the box, select the tag, etc.Therefore, you’ll want to be able to sort by [Not AI], and then safely assume that anything else probably isn’t worth your time. Additionally, someone who uses AI and then intentionally abuses the [Not AI] tag could be assumed to have lied about anything else in their project, and should not be considered a trustworthy creator or worthwhile poster.

2 monthsIt is absolutely an aioli. You just have to de-emulsify it, separate out the egg, and then emulsify the non-mayonnaise ingredients. It’s not like it’s chemistry or entropy or whatever.

Linux@lemmy.world•Preventing e-waste by selling old desktops with Linux due to low system requirementsEnglish
11 monthsWhen quarantines hit and everyone was communicating via zoom, I offered to recycle people’s computers and destroy their old hard drives for free. I’d remove and drill multiple holes through the hard drives, vacuum/dust the computer, install a small, inexpensive HDD, and install Ubuntu.
Then I’d install zoom and chrome (sorry) and then pair each computer with a wired mouse, keyboard, and webcam that I had laying around in bulk. Then I’d drop these computers off at shelters, elder communities, and religious institutions. Essentially, anywhere you’d find someone who didn’t have the means to contact family, attend an interview, or whatever.
Recycling/upcycling old computers isn’t just good for the environment and your investment, it’s good for your community!
