Bread is filling and high in carbs, but has little nutritional value. When ducks eat bread, it tastes good and it also encourages them to fill up on it, which can lead to protein deficiency iirc. Also ducks with diets low in certain vitamins develop a condition known as angel wing, which renders the wings unusable due to excessive feather growth (too heavy for young ducks' wings; developing wings are bent outwards due to weight).

You are thinking about the actual meaning of the male loneliness epidemic, whereas many people online are thinking about the buzzword loneliness epidemic which has been peddled in manospheres as "women hate men so we can't get laid."

You're not stupid, you just can't see the bottom of the hole from all the way up here.

I am a sucker for Gulden's spicy brown mustard... it's the only mustard that I like for every use of mustard. Dijon, honey, and standard mustard all have a specific niche for me.

I don't think it's fair to think of model training as a one-and-done situation. It's not like deepseek was designed and trained in one attempt. Every iteration of these models will require retraining until we have better continual learning implementations. Even when models are run locally, downloads signify demand, and demand calls for improved models, which means more training and testing is required.

My point is that your 3.8 Engineering/Humanities assignment is not a product that needs to marketed to the masses. 5k words in that space is easy, and I think this because I have done the same thing in the same field (Engr).

12k words isn't a huge amount, but as a published sci-fi writer you already understand that fictional writing is a saturated market with brutal competition, and publisher deal deadlines can be brutal too.

Do you think your 5k words in a day were written well enough for someone to pay for it? Homework is not a product you have to market.

All of my friends who went to catholic school had the opposite experience. Evolution was handwaved away as complete nonsense, and God's benevolence was the answer for why people exist. My public school taught evolution very thoroughly, though none of my science teachers seemed creationist.

If I ever meet someone who boasts about climbing Everest, I will be sure to ask them questions like "How many dead bodies and how much trash did you see?" and "Does it smell like doodoo the whole way up, or does it get cold enough that you can't smell the piles upon piles of human shit?"

You know that thing where stick someone in a latex sack and suck all the air out of it so it compresses them? I feel like she would be into that.

Thanks for the writeup - I can't believe they claimed anything about keeping data safe while building the website so poorly...

I would say they could pickle the garlic... but then they'll probably just end up with too much pickled garlic.
