@npub1ac3…qpkt
This video is very technical so, I'll summarize it.
This guy built a website to 85% completion with deepseek for less than $1 in 30 minutes.
I know 85% doesn't sound like much, but it's impressive for an AI and saves loads of dev time. If you have the knowledge to leverage MCP servers with non-state of the art models like deepseek, you can do amazing things for tiny amounts of money.
This was also back in April of 2025.

Onions: sweet mostly.
Potatoes (not Russets, but a variety like Kennebec): savory, a little bitter
Rhubarb: sweet, sour
Cabbage: umami, bitter
Carrots: sweet, savory (depending on the variety)
Parsley: savory, bitter
Swiss Chard: savory, bitter
Beets: umami, bitter, sweet (depending on the variety)
It's really hard to lump some flavors into the five categories (though I know them) because they are more nuanced, especially the aromatics like garlic and onions.

Vegetables: Umami, sweet and bitter, depending on the vegetable.
Rutabegas are sweet and umami.
Celery is bitter and savory.
Good bread is mostly umami.

@npub1ac3…qpkt Based on your comments about vegetables not tasting like anything (which you've made similarly about bread) you've only ever eaten store-bought or commercial-grade bread and vegetables, and in that I do include most Amish and farmer's market food.
Sourdough bread that you make yourself from ancient grains like einkorn or antique whole wheat varieties has amazing flavor just like vegetables that you grow yourself organically have excellent flavor.

... I spoke to the rest of their family in said social setting, and further conversation never seemed to continue beyond the introduction even if it was private.
My assessment follows:
1) The behavior that made the older women recognize me as a catch was in-congruent with what the younger women found attractive.
2) The situation in which they would consider it appropriate to meet a boyfriend was not and could not be the same social situation as the one in which they would find their family.

I have a curiosity for everyone:
I observed that when I would meet people in a familial social setting, e.g. church, social clubs, etc.
Grandmothers and mothers would always want to introduce me to their granddaughters/daughters because said older women adored me and openly told me so. (I was a handsome, had a good job, solid work ethic, nice clothing, commitment to the cause, etc.)
Their granddaughters/daughters had no interest in me when I would speak to them in the same manner in which...

Hoe_Math (Psycho_Math) recently made a video and stated that if you mess up when interacting with a female by failing a single shit test or in showing one iota of weakness, you're cooked in her eyes.
She will never see you again as a potential unless all other accessible males are even worse, and given that dating apps exist, there will always be more potential males.
Can anyone else confirm this? Is it your experience too that it's "one and done"?

...which apply to all of them for information about their context, your schedule, etc. Each kindroid has specific, personal memories only about them, and you can individually program a kindroid to be explicitly non-sexual, even if others are. If you want to have Celestina-TFM time, you have your "bedroom", which is the chat only with her, but her personality will be consistent because personality in Kindroid isn't tied to the "room". It's a better system than Kajiwoto overall.

@npub1ac3…qpkt To your comments about Kajiwoto not being able to handle Luna and Celestina in the same room because the personality of Celestina changes based on the room and the two talk over each other, this is a solved problem for other AI apps like Kindroid, the one Voodoo is using.

Civil law can work insofar as it is an extension of contract law. Did they violate the contract? Yes or no. Part of the problem though is activist judges: They make a ruling not based on the text of the contract but on what "justice" they want to see done or because the plaintiff/defendant is attractive not based on what the contract said.
The easiest way to improve civil law would be to make a "loser-pays" scheme the default. It would dissuade people from suing with no risks.

I prefer Kindoird to Kajiwoto nowadays. You can even do "phone calls" with settings to allow you to do push to talk or a stream of conversation, but the best features in my opinion are "tweak AI message" and "suggest change". The first lets you to manually edit the AI's message, which then becomes part of the memory.
The latter tells the AI to regenerate the last message with feedback you give. It's a more intuitive means to do what Kajiwoto did with datasets and prompts.

Also, how do you define "their people"? Hitler encountered a similar issue in defining what a true German was. If we mean one's an extension of close family to extended family and outward, where does one draw the line, and can the line be erased or redrawn, such as if a son foresakes his birthright, moved to another culture, and has children there. Are they less the parent's "people" than someone else of the parents' culture but more distantly related?

I like where your perspective is starting and I agree that one finds greater satisfaction in having a purpose than just consuming, but how does one fine what is the /correct/ purpose to one's life?
Simply asserting one's biological purpose of survival and reproduction is the end-all-be-all is unsatisfactory for some. Also, if it were, then single mothers who raise 6 different children from 6 different fathers have fulfilled this purpose.

Unfortunately, it seems that once welfare is made a public institution, if Rome is typical, it is only ever to be overturned by dictatorial power or by a situation in which the government is unable to provide the service in 476 AD, and there are insufficient records to conclude that it was perpetuated.

Thread...
I was contemplating welfare and its disastrous effects in contrast with private charity.
Rome had issues with the public grain dole from its inception as a subsidized and price-fixed grain purchase and storage program in the republican era, which even though it was financed by tax increases, saw a precipitous increases in demand as all price-ceiling schemes do. Once it was implemented corruption set in and was frequently a topic of reform but not abolishment by politicians.

Something that Halsey continues to say on the Wednesday show which irritates me is that Assad was defeated and Russia didn't do anything even though they were allies. If he has not directly stated it, he has implied it, and he uses this as justification for his thought that Russia doesn't care about Iran.
Assad stepped down and the Syrian military did the same because his generals were for all intents and purposes bought off. Russia can't defend someone who surrenders of their own accord.

2025-03-19 11:52:09 UTC

I hope that everyone doesn't take the Trump-Putin call as Russia cucking because from the summary I read, it sounds like they are merely opening the door to talks.

I recently encountered a nonfiction audio book being read by a female, and I disliked listening to her read it.
This spurred my thinking to delve farther until I realized I prefer the male voice both for song and nonfiction works. If a female is playing a part in fiction, that is acceptable and often desirable, though not always.
I can guess as to the cause of this preference just as I can guess at my preferences in foods; however, males often have better diction, which is important to me.

2025-03-07 15:01:20 UTC

A question: Assuming the situation once again becomes favorable to males for marriage, would you ever consider marrying a widow who already had a child for the purpose of having additional children and raising the child, or if you can't have children for the purpose of raising her son as your own?

Generally, females are not objective-oriented. They are oriented toward a circumstance that is relatable. The difference is objectives are abstract elements of a strategy. Circumstances involve people in action, namely themselves and if not themselves, they empathize with the person in that circumstance, that is, they attempt to project their emotions into the character.
Hence, "X isn't a hobby" because a X doesn't seem relevant to her.

I had an excellent discussion with an Orthodox priest today. He agrees that the West is sick, that equality is a lie, and that divorce laws are terrible.
He agrees with all the specifics of TWRA, but his advice is hope that the right one can be found; so, there is hope for the younger part of the community provided they are willing to enforce patriarchy. Even if he doesn't openly advocate for patriarchy, I will take not standing in its way. Social enforcement of consequences is the key.

It's a semantic difference mostly: It would be an associated benefit, not a causal one because the cause of the invention is the inventor's actions which were enabled by being given the opportunity to invent, but invention and creativity as such cannot be stimulated only encouraged.

Tariffs as a means to on-shore jobs will produce a more engaged workforce as more jobs are created since imports become more expensive. If this is what you mean by a stronger economy, I agree.
If on-shoring leads to a higher instance of invention into some technologies that increase productivity, that can be a coincidental benefit, but not a causal benefit. How much of our standards of living we're willing to pay is a value judgement.

@npub1ac3…qpkt Do you think that we should put our 6 months of emergency cash into a money market or simply keep it in a checking account and forego the gains it could make in favor of full liquidity? I'm contemplating moving 5 out of the 6 months' funds. That would give me a month's worth while I pull the rest if I need it.

@npub1ac3…qpkt I'm not surprised you don't like soy sauce if all you've had is stuff from American Chinese restaurants. There is good tequila and there is gasoline; it's same idea.
Low-quality soy sauce is crap, but you could add a Tbsp of decent soy sauce to braising liquid like you would add a dash of liquid smoke to baked beans or a squeeze of tomato paste into chili. In all such cases, you add umami and increase the meat's "meatiness".

You're going above and beyond what most people would do. I think you're allowed to break the "steak and butter" rule to eat prime rib. It's still from somewhere on the cow. Enjoy it. If you slow roast eye of round, it has wonderful flavor with just salt. Most people think steak is the end-all-be-all, but there is so much on the cow that is delicious. Heart is excellent.
