The explanation behind the survey data is pretty fascinating. Researchers surveyed people who don’t drink, not people who never drank.

A cohort of non-drinkers will also consist of recovering alcoholics. They needed to survey people who never consumed alcohol at all, not a group of people who weren’t currently drinking.

For anyone else having streaming problems with the instance

Kind of surprised that this guy left Safari out of his stats. As many of us who do web dev know, Safari, primarily driven by mobile, is a fairly massive portion of browser traffic in many countries.

It’s just basic, easily reproducible, chemistry. Not some sort of conspiracy.

Yeah, I bet that the glass works for some folks. My friends and I played with some blind tastes test, and some people couldn’t tell the difference, and other could tell 100% of the time with ease.

My guess is that the taste difference is due to the fact that Mexican Coke has so much glucose that it easily throws a OTC glucose monitor into an overload error state.

TLDR; Mexican Coke is sweetened with sugarcane, but the acid in the soda splits sucrose into glucose and fructose. So you basically end up with a drink that has similar chemical sweeteners to high fructose corn syrup.

Also, Mexican coke probably tastes better because it as a shit of glucose and fructose, not because you’re tasting sucrose.

I guess people really didn’t like that wallpaper app.

Have you talked with a therapist about workplace communication strategies and boundary setting?

It’s like listening to a Trump debate. Everything is a lie and everything is out to get her.

Crazy thing is that I can actually by two 16 / 256 Mac Mini’s for the price of one 32 / 512 Mini.

I expect Apple’s upgrade pricing to be stupid and inflated, but this is straight up silly. And a 256 drive is going to be downright problematic for people.

Ok, but the piece is about plays for people who want to play the retro physical media formats. It isn’t about people asking for new smaller disk or cassette media.

TIL the new “air fryer” version of my old convection toaster over is the same device, but with a basket accessory.

Out of the loop. What’d he do?

Hear me out

Is the show any good? I quite liked Wanda Vision, but some of the recent Marvel shows have fallen a little flat for me.

Depends on the company. I’ve worked in places where it is totally cool to take the boss down a peg, in a sarcastic / light way. I’ve also worked in places where my employees have feel safe enough to do that to me.

But the end of the day, he’s in a position of power and controls their pay check. Dude shouldn’t be playing around with his employees like that if they’re not reciprocating. That means they probably don’t feel safe.

Every HR training video has at least one segment on this. Linus needs to be forced to watch some basic managerial training videos.

After years on the job you have an eagle eye for the subtle hints that slip out. Talking over people, dismissing options that are different than yours, playfully teasing people that don’t reciprocate, etc.

Maybe it’s nothing, but when I watch his videos I have flashbacks to problematic leaders who often get shit reviews when employees are allowed to submit feedback anonymously.

Yeah, as someone who has been in people management for a long time, he has a way of interacting with people that makes my HR spidey sense tingle.

It’s very subtle, but there some ways of collaborating and communicating with his employees that I’ve seen before, and are often associated with people who get shitty reviews from the ICs and peers.

Although I agree that this content should be up on YT, I wouldn’t be surprised if LLT were well aware that this was a high risk video that could get struck down.

I hate conspiratorial thinking, but LLT is likely to benefit from this attention, and they have a history prioritizing subscriber counts over getting useful information into the hands of people.
