  • You know how the universe isn’t broken? Well it’s possible it could break and you can’t predict or stop it.

    A slightly higher level explanation is that the universe might be in this state which is like a ball sitting in a little divot on the side of a hill, and if something bumps it out of that divot it could roll to the bottom. If that ball rolls to the bottom then it could cause particles to stop behaving the way we expect them to so things like chemistry and life stop being possible.




  • Probably proper knife skills. I’ve always been pretty good with a knife, but I’ve been taking my time to really refine the skill as I do a lot of cooking for large groups so speed is extremely useful. I honestly learnt a lot of it indirectly by just watching how chefs use them, but for the theory and all that I started with Lan Lam’s video on knife skills over at the America’s Test Kitchen yt channel.

    I’m about to be going to an event where I’ll be cooking nearly a thousand meals a day for three days, so I’m going to be putting it to the test. The one nice thing is we’ll have a team of volunteers to help with ingredient prep, so it should be okay but daunting none the less.

    Yeah exactly right? I’ve had Americans tell me that snakes and spiders are too scary, snakes will actively run from people (mostly) and spiders don’t care about you they just want flies and stuff.

    Meanwhile in NA you’ve got powerful prey species that will just randomly wander through town, not to mention all the gun violence in the USA…

    Most dangerous thing here are the cars tbh.

    I really really hate this narrative. Time and time again people tell me they would love to come to Australia but it’s too dangerous.

    This isn’t a dangerous place, most of our wildlife is harmless and/or actively avoids people. It makes me so damn sad every time another friend tells me how deadly my home is, and even worse they refuse to listen to people who actually live here because they’ve been told Australia is dangerous their whole life.



  • That’s fair, I just like windows and that’s really all there is to it. I’ve had a few Linux installs in the past, but never really found an advantage to anything except compiling this one specific python library, but these days I can do that very easily running WSL, VS code SSH’d to my server or more recently a jupyter server that I can connect to from any device with a web browser.

    Now macOS on the other hand, I absolutely despise. It was one of the first OS’s I learnt to use back in primary school, and now that I have to use it for work I have absolutely no nice things to say. Unintuitive, missing basic features and slow to navigate, and I can assure you that none of this is due to unfamiliarity…
