Oh, okay, so you’re just talking out of your ass. You’re thinking of the Core CPI, but there are others, just as valid, that take it into account and which are used in things like legislation. It is because they’re too volatile, and you want Core CPI to give a more stable understanding of which direction the economy is generally moving. Such a crazy, whacky idea to have multiple metrics that take into account different factors; fucking bonkers, honestly. What will those filthy, mustache-twirling government economists think of next?

And by the way: 3.8% does include all items. 3.8% is not the Core CPI you have sand in your groin over; it’s the CPI-U.

Maybe you can make fun of the “respected economist” when you’re ready to present a macroecon 101-level or higher understanding of CPI and get your facts straight about the article I’m sure you actually read.

Edit: Here’s the press release, for context. Less food and energy is 2.8%.

Unequivocally, yes, very helpful. The strength of projects like OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia comes from their numbers– from parallelism.

Think of it like a race against the physical infrastructure: looking at the specific things you contribute, you are vastly outpacing the infrastructure. If you notice a speed limit has changed and correct it, that’s probably set for an extremely long time relative to the age of the project. You’ve fixed in 30 seconds what will remain for perhaps a decade. Once you’re maintaining the infrastructure and not just building it out, the race is won on breadth of effort, being able to quickly respond to small issues. Small issues only consistently get noticed if there are a lot of people on the look-out. You’re one of those people.

Just keep in mind this was just a bunch of random ideas, so it’s all very surface-level and not at all a guide. None of these actually fully tell you how to do the thing, so being confused is 100% normal.

Where is the closest?

I mean, yes, I did win an argument on the Internet; it’s just not something to be proud of. Wrapping getting your point destroyed in a warm, fuzzy blanket of “the other person pointing out an obvious contradiction I left dangling almost like a baited fishing hook must be a loser lol” is unsurprisingly pathetic and insecure.

You mean like how you spelled “proofreading” as “proof reading”, not even the uncommon variant – “proof-reading” – that uses a hyphen?

“By the way, I’m bisexual, I forgot – that’s my announcement. How do you turn this shit off?”

It’s quite literally a joke about the Antarctica trip. There was one who changed their mind and was heavily ostracized for it.

Dude, it’s like five things – one of which is just translations that can be performed locally, and another of which is an alt text accessibility option – with an obvious universal kill switch (and of course individualized ones). Calm your tits. Chill your balls. I don’t use LLMs at all except for translations, and I still think the whinging over this is completely overblown.

“Begun” implies a slippery slope of much more, and that just doesn’t seem to be the case.

The fact she was on the ship is by its self a reason to test for it

Did you even read the full quote? By the time her tests were back in 24 hours, she probably would’ve been on death’s door had she still been on the ship. They clearly got her hospital care as soon as they landed, and I seriously doubt they were sending her home.

I’m sorry, but the fact you’re calling it “Hanta Virus” tells me I should trust the doctors/epidemiologists and Spain’s health minister more than I trust some rando on the Internet spitballing “well they should’ve just done [thing]!!” Her condition began deteriorating literally on the evacuation plane, and she seemingly got care basically as soon as possible.

I’m anxious you decided to take the out-of-context headline of an article you didn’t read and run with it:

“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.

[Padilla] said the woman, who had been travelling on the ship at the centre of a deadly hantavirus outbreak, had been suffering flu-like symptoms but they appeared to be getting better and she did not have a fever.

He said that the woman’s condition had deteriorated between the ship and the plane. “It is not that the patient was feeling bad and she was saying: ‘OK, I’m not going to say anything because I want to be on the plane.’ It was like: ‘OK, we have measured your temperature, it was not fever, afterwards you have been on the plane, it has taken off, you have started feeling bad, we have measured your temperature and it was fever.’”

Padilla said passengers could not have been tested onboard the vessel because there were no rapid PCR tests for hantavirus available. Any testing would have involved flying samples to Madrid to a specialist lab, a process that would have taken 24 hours. Those delays would have made it impossible to rescue those on board due to a forecast of extremely high winds from Monday evening, which were due to be “hell” on Tuesday, he said.

How is the headline ragebait? Ragebait is the cynical production of content to increase clicks and engagement. The author clearly actually is that passionate about FOSS self-hosting over paid gatekeepers like Plex, and the tone of the article is adequately reflected in the headline.

An opinion author stating a strong opinion in the headline isn’t automatically “ragebait” just because you personally aren’t as passionate. And I say that as someone who isn’t as passionate as the author.

Here’s the study in Minerals. I’ll caution that it’s an MDPI journal, but it’s better than Earth.com’s content mill dogshit.

I think it can be pretty broadly said: “If you don’t like salad, you’re doing salad wrong.” Not because there’s a singular right way to do it but because there are so many variations that there’s definitely one out there for you.

So many people have, like, iceberg lettuce topped with a couple croutons and then either minimal dressing because it’s supposed to be “healthy” or a fuckton because the base salad is bland garbage. Thus it has terrible nutritional value, is ridiculously bland/one-note, and, if you’re the second type of dressing person, more or less acts as a conduit to putting salad dressing in your mouth.

It’s easy to make delicious salads – even strictly plant-based ones, but you really have a ton of options either way. That’s not to say “wow you’re so dumb that you can’t even figure out salad”; that’s to say “I’m so sorry you got mired in the stereotype of what a salad is.”

Don’t worry if some of these look bougie; they can pretty easily be unbougie-fied if they are.

How the shit is this supposed to be “programmer humor”? Comms really do return to the lowest common denominator if they aren’t actively moderated for relevance; jesus christ.
