Happy birthday!

No, you don’t use dirty water, you use clean water.

Furthermore, the dirt does not cling to your dishes – it dissolves in the water, aided by soap. If it would cling to the dishes, you wouldn’t be able to rinse it off, either.

That’s a terrible ineffective method, and a waste of water.

Fill one sink with hot water + soup, put as much dishes in it as possible to soak them, and fill the other sink with fresh hot water. Clean one dish after another, preferably with a brush (you’ll burn your hands using a sponge), rinse them in the clean water, and put them on the dryer.

If you do not have a second sink, use a tub for either purpose.

And yes, the water will get dirty and cool over time, and you’ll have to switch if you’ve got too much dishes.

Of course, if you’re only cleaning a plate and a knife and perhaos a glas, using just the tap is far more efficient.

According to the CDC, chicken should not be rinsed to avoid Salmonella cross contamination.

Notabene: this advise is from the pre-Trump CDC.

Well – this might be more succesful in boostering the IT skills of France’s next generation than any curriculum reform.

My browser eats timestamps, til. And yes, that is impressive.

Thanks, I’ll listen into it.

This is far worse than being not a reliable source of info. Ms Chen had all the info she needed, and Claude falsified it.

Hm. I wasn’t able to listen to all 9:53:57, but in the samples I watched I heard a voice resembling the classical computer voice of Science Fiction movies of the 70s. Better than most YouTube AI generated audio content, but good enough to narrate audio books? Well, we’ll accustom to anything, I guess.

To rephrase my question: where can I listen to an example of good AI spoken content?

Reading is not an alternative to listening. Both have different use cases. You cannot read while driving, to name just one.

Using different voices to read different parts of a book turns an audiobook into a bad audio play, and arguably, a bad audio play is worse than a mediocre audio book.

What audible misses is, that, while reading is a technique that can be automated, narrating is an art. They can use AI to read books, they cannot use AI to narrate books.

Your example of AI use is a good example of this: AI can read your content. AI can enhance your capabilities. But only you can narrate it.

Did you ever heard a single AI-narrated content that did not make you run away screaming?

I don’t know about “normal people”. Among the psychiatric patients I met, most people with addiction, most people with psychosis and most people with personality disorders (other than borderline) deny suicidal ideas altogether. People suffering from depression usually admit to having had suicidal ideas at some time during there life, but even among them there are quite a lot denying to have had any ever. And a quite lot of traumatized people suffer from mostly ego–dystone intrusive suicidal thoughts.

So I wager that it’s not “normal” to have suicidal thoughts, unless you’re depressed, borderline or traumatized. (Though arguably, it might be getting “normal” to get depressed in today’s living conditions…)

And yes, every human gets sad every now and then, if they have a reason to be sad – but why should anyone get suicidal thoughts just because they are sad? AFAIK sadness is not linked to suicidal ideas, unless the sadness us a symptom of depression. It’s almost impossible to find reliable data on the relation of non–depressive situative sadness and suicidal thoughts with a cursory search, though.

Self harm is even stranger, I’ve seen self harm only with borderline and trauma. But that’s just my experience.

Different providers have different spamfilters, different rules regarding html mails, attachment file size, use of tls, policies regarding exspired certificates, and might have different log in procedures, so yes, if there are problems the question which providers are involved.

Napoleon? Hitler?

That’s actually not true. It’s made out of dozends independent non-profit organizations that are backed by hundreds of companies. And thousands of different independent hobby projects.

Ethymologically you are right, I wasn’t really aware of the alchemical background of five rounds of destillation when I wrote my comment.

Nonetheless, “quintessential for” is not unheard (or rather unread?) of:

It will take another generation or two until this usage becomes normalized, so thank you for pointing me to a better style.

Due to the added experience of freezing probably a lot better than grass.

Depends on your definition of “actual”.

I totally agree that the original 12 steps cannot work for anyone not believing in an Abrahamitic god.

I’d say that you need the actual steps for other people, i.e. the steps the AA are really taking, not the steps they claim to take.
