I read that the issue with used EV’s is that you eventually need to replace the battery pack which can sometimes cost you as much as the car.

Edit: Seems I was misinformed. Glad to hear that replacing EV batteries is not much of a concern.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I’ve wanted to get an EV for years now. Just don’t have the infrastructure in my area yet and out of my price range. But I didn’t consider buying used. It’s great to hear that I shouldn’t concern myself with replacing the battery.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

The research from Purdue University, first spotted by news outlet Futurism, was presented earlier this month at the Computer-Human Interaction Conference in Hawaii and looked at 517 programming questions on Stack Overflow that were then fed to ChatGPT....

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Anyone can use GPT-4 for free. Co-pilot uses GPT-4 and with a Microsoft account you can do up to 30 queries. I’ve used it a lot to create Excel VBA code for work and it’s pretty good. Much better than GPT-3.5 that’s for sure.

TL;DR: ACAB

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I canceled Prime as soon as they announced they were adding ads and I let them know that was the reason. Fuck them. We moved to streaming because it wasn’t cable, now these fuck heads are trying to turn streaming into cable. Capitalism is the fucking worst.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

You’re getting downvoted but I agree. The first game is one of my most played on Steam and I was invited to the technical test for the second. But I probably won’t be buying it any time soon. I absolutely hate the trend of buying unfinished products. While this developer is most likely not taking advantage, so many others do. Why should we pay money to beta test your game???

Pressure canning food

So me and my dad were talking about pressure canning and how it’s very uncommon. I’ve never talked to anyone irl that pressure cans, maybe some water bath canning but that’s it. I wonder why it’s so uncommon? You can get a pressure canner for less than 150$ and it’s incredibly useful....

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES OP ,

I also have an instant pot style pressure cooker and I agree that it’s not really the best for canning, but I love it for cooking. I’ve canned stock in it but only small batches of a few jars. Seems that the downside for pressure canners is that they take up a lot of room for the specific use you need them for. I can see that and it’s a good reason but I would suggest finding the room for one.

Cooking something on your smoker/BBQ and making stock with it is a game changer. It actually retains the smoke. Plus I use stock to cook all my rice. Rice cooked in stock is so much better than water. I’ve made shoyu stock for my Asian dishes, makes a world of difference.

You could always make small batches in your pressure cooker and if it’s something you like, you could upgrade to a designated canner.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES OP ,

100%, I’ve eaten pressure canned chili that was sitting in my pantry for 4 years and it was still amazing.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES OP ,

So I know that Shoyu typically uses Bonito Flakes but I use dried shrimp as a substitute. I just grind it up in a mortar and pestle. You also need to use Kombu and a good amount of soy sauce. It’s usually made with pork and chicken stock but I’ve made it with chicken only. I use both dark and regular soy sauce.

Just simmered all of the ingredients for most of the day. I’m not someone who enjoys seafood but I actually liked the flavor the dried shrimp added. It’s not your traditional Shoyu broth but it’s close enough.

The next time I make it I want to use Bonito Flakes instead of dried shrimp. But overall, it’s amazing stuff and I love using it for ramen and rice.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES OP ,

Thought I should add that I use chicken/pork bones in addition to everything else I mentioned.

Let me know how it turns out!

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I was invited to the beta and by the time I went to download it, it was over. Regret not getting to try it out to know if I should buy it. Hades is one of my most played games on Steam but I will probably wait to get it. I prefer buying my games once they are mostly polished.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Is this fucker really trying to defend privatised healthcare…

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

RTO, much like everything else is about rich people. The Canadian Federal government just announced that all public servants must be in office 60% of the time by September (up from 40%). And the only reason is due to lobbying by real estate holders and businesses downtown.

I’m so fucking tired of rich people not only having the advantage of being rich but also getting every other advantage handed to them by the government.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Same here, I used to torrent all my movies. Then Netflix came out, it was a lot simpler and less time consuming to just pay 10$ a month. I torrented a lot less after that.

But now, streaming companies are just turning into cable channels. Completely negating why streaming became so popular in the first place, because it wasn’t cable. You didn’t have to suffer through ads and you could watch what you wanted when you wanted.

It’s no surprise, that’s what capitalism is, everything eventually turns to shit in the pursuit of infinite growth.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

That’s what I hate about it the most. Why can’t it tell me I’m a fucking idiot sometimes?

"Batch cooking" how do you store meal for the second half of the week ?

I don’t do “batch cooking” per se, but often cook something larger on saturday/sunday so I have leftover, either for Monday/thuesday lunch or for when coming back from sport, keeping food 2-3 in the fridge doesn’t worry me (Obviously, I am not gonna keep a tartare so long in the frige, and don’t even cook meat). Things...

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Things last much longer than 2-3 days, I’d say 7 days is the average. I’ve eaten leftovers that were over a week old. It really depends on what it is.

We hate wasting food so we always try it before throwing it out (unless it smells/looks bad or is moldy obviously). If it tastes good we eat it without worry.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Why stop at a hug?

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES , (edited )

Wait, you guys have to pay for cable in order to get internet? I’ve never paid for cable in my life, just internet.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

That’s not true, I’ve been with Bell for 10+ years and they’ve always had an internet only option. In fact, I know they still do. So does East Link.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Who needs a funeral home or tombstone. I’ve told my family to burn me and not have a traditional funeral. I want them to spend the least money possible. Put me in a necklace, plant a tree, spread my ashes somewhere, whatever. Things that don’t need to be done in a funeral home. It will be hard enough for them to go through losing their father/husband, last thing I want is to cause financial hardship.

(I’m by no means taking away from this story, it’s terrible.)

  • Anderson .Paak: I know he’s pretty popular but I feel like it’s mostly because of his Silk Sonic stuff. His solo albums are great, especially Malibu. He’s an incredibly talented musician and entertainer. I would strongly recommend anyone watch his Tiny Desk if you haven’t already.
  • Atlus: Pumps out a lot of music, not all of them are bangers. But he has a lot of good songs.
  • Josh A / iamjakehill: I grouped them because they do a lot of music together but they are each fantastic on their own. Save Our Souls is such a great album.
  • Brothers of Metal: Fun power metal band that makes music about Norse mythology. Makes you want to ride out into battle. I’ve shown this band to multiple people who are not metal/power metal fans and they love it.
  • Lorna Shore: I know Through the Hellfire went viral and they are pretty popular for a Deathcore band. But they definitely deserve more recognition. I used to listen to a lot of Deathcore in high school 15 years ago and Lorna Shore single handedly got me back into it. I must’ve listened to all of Pain Remains at least 50 times. I can’t get enough of Ramos’s vocals and Archey’s drumming.
  • Light the Torch: If you loved Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones vocals then you will love this.
PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

This is one hell of a take.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

But what about the potential revenue that the creator would’ve earned if it wasn’t possible to pirate? They would’ve definitely bought it for full price.

  1. I haven’t gone back to Reddit since the rapture. The only time I use it is for Google results.
  2. I use Lemmy A LOT less than Reddit. This is a good thing imo.
  3. Since it’s a smaller community I find that my posts and comments get a lot more traction.
  4. I miss the smaller niche subs. Yes I know that I should contribute and make it a thing on Lemmy. No I won’t because I’m mostly a lurker and would rather just close the app than do any work.
  5. I like how the platform is full of socialist/communist but it can become a bit of an echo chamber.

Overall I am happy with the change. Fuck Spez.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I didn’t realize Lemmy hated AI so much. Pretty much every post in this thread is bashing the idea. I’ve found AI to be very useful personally, I use it almost every day. It helped me code a VBA macro from scratch with 0 experience. This tool is saving me and my team hundreds of hours per year. It’s also great just as an improved search engine.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Who cares, the game is boring as fuck. Told myself I was never gonna get this garbage after they butchered Diablo 3 so bad. Saw it on sale for 50$ during the holidays, gave in and bought it. Fuck do I regret it. It’s just slow, repetitive and uninteresting. Quit after I got to level 50, shit was mind numbing.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

It’s slow as fuck. You have to walk around a huge map spamming your resource generators just to hit once with your mediocre resource spending skills. There’s no feeling of progression because you don’t actually get stronger. Monsters just level up with you so it’s always the same. The leveling in an ARPG is usually my favorite part. Trying out new skills, getting stronger, upgrading gear constantly. This game just fucking killed that. Skills are underpowered and uninteresting, did not feel like I was getting stronger at all and I rarely found gear upgrades.

It’s just fucking boring. I’ve played most ARPG’s out there and have never been so bored of the gameplay like I was with D4. I’ll stick to PoE and vanilla/modded D2.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I played Druid and tried every skill, they were all underwhelming/boring. I shouldn’t have to play a specific build or class to have fun.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

People who haven’t played the game don’t realize that paying for stash tabs isn’t the biggest deal. I remember thinking it was the end of the world when I started playing almost 10 years ago. But like you I’ve purchased supporter packs and many stash tabs just because of how much I’ve gotten out of the game. Sure it’s a complex game and you have to take the time to learn a lot of the mechanics. But at least it’s fun and has a variety of different content to keep you playing. Unlike Diablo 3 and 4 which get boring after a couple weeks.

Diablo 2 is the best game ever made imo and I will always hate Blizzard for what they did to the series. Path of Exile is a much better successor to Diablo 2 than Diablo 3 and 4 ever will be.

It’s fucking nuts how much better they are. I bought a monochrome Brother printer a few years ago for like 250$. I’m still on the starter toner that came with it. I am never going back to ink. Gone are the days of not being able to print in black cause I’m low on cyan. Fuck HP.

I’ve always wanted UBI to be a thing but after a discussion with my brother I’m second guessing it. His argument is that corporations will just increase their prices and not much would change.

He suggested that instead, we use the money that we would use for UBI to guarantee that EVERYONE’S basic needs are met. Housing, food, healthcare, etc…

I know it’s easier said than done but I’m just worried that billionaires will fuck up UBI like they fuck up everything else.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I cancelled Prime as soon as I got this email. It was set to renew in February so perfect timing. I also sent them an email to provide some feedback about the change:

I cancelled my membership as soon as I received notification that you would be including ads to a PAID streaming service. I cannot believe that you think asking for more money per month to have an ad free experience is ok. The world is going to shit because of greedy corporations like you. I hope you go bankrupt and Jeff Bezos goes looking for the Titanic in a poorly made submarine.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

That shock is 3x more powerful than a wall outlet.

Source: I just went to the aquarium.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

It was fun actually. They have a place where the stingrays swim up to you and you’re allowed to pet them. I was surprised by how they actually want to get pet. They swim up to the side of the wall and come out of the water to get your attention. Like a little water dog.

Thanks for asking!

I feel that way about Jack Black. I could not take him seriously in King Kong.

I make a no knead pizza which is incredibly easy. It takes me about 15-20 minutes to prepare the dough in the morning. Just mix it in a bowl, cover it and let proof all day.

About an hour before you plan to eat, flatten the dough onto a baking sheet and let proof again. Once you’re ready to eat, just put sauce and toppings of your choice, cook at the highest heat setting on your oven. Should be ready in about 10-15 min.

Best pizza I’ve ever had. Doesn’t compare to the local pizza shops. A lot less greasy also.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

This is my favorite too lazy to cook meal. I’ve eaten this regularly for like 20 years. I make it every few weeks. Great with ham or sausage and a bunch of sriracha.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I spend on average an hour cooking then another hour doing dishes/clean-up almost every night of the week. Taking 15-20 minutes twice in a day then only having to clean basically a pan and bowl is definitely too lazy to cook for me.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Love watching Wang Gang make fried rice, he’s like a wizard. Wish I had the setup to do what he does. I want me some of that Wok Hei.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

You’re assuming that your reality is the same for everyone.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I have a cast iron pan that I’ve used for almost 10 years. I seasoned it when I got it. To clean it, I scrub it with steel wool, dry it off then rub a coat of oil on it. It still looks and works perfectly. Cast iron is extremely easy to clean and upkeep.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I cook for a family of four every day and taking 3 minutes to clean my cast iron pan is the least time consuming part of it. You’re being dramatic.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

Oh, my point wasn’t that a cast iron pan is as non-stick as Teflon. I was simply talking about cast iron upkeep. I have a non stick pan and it’s much better for certain things for sure. But I wash it by hand instead of putting it in the dishwasher.

Ublock users who got hit by Youtube's anti-adblock effort- how's your experience been?

I started getting the dreaded anti-adblock pop-ups on Youtube when they started ramping up their efforts a month or so back, and I initially went through the whole rigamarole: First it was just the pop-up, then it was the pop-up with the timer, then the 3-video countdown finally leading to the video player being disabled...

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I experienced pretty much the same thing as you. Had to do the clear cache+update a few times. But it’s been good for a few weeks as you said. I’ve also noticed that it can take 5-10 seconds for the video page to load. But not the biggest deal, at least I don’t see fucking ads.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

I had no idea about any of this. My only knowledge of the guy was from the Seinfeld episode. Just read up on him and man that’s fucked up. Religion fucking sucks, makes people nuts.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES , (edited )

I haven’t logged out since they started this push and I don’t get them with just Firefox/uBlock. I was getting them for a bit and they even blocked me completely at one point. But I just cleared my uBlock cache and updated and it’s been working fine.

PM_ME_YOUR_ZOD_RUNES ,

The problem isn’t the developer or the customer. You’re falling for the oldest trick in the book, keep the peasants fighting amongst themselves and they won’t realize the king is the problem.
