If we wanted to see LLM responses, we wouldn’t be here but in a chatbot window…
“So much new housing has been built, everyone can now afford buying their own before their 40s”
or better
“Corporations in fatal decline as most of the economy is now organised via cooperatives”
I double-checked it bc I’m that kind of a person, but I did apparently remember it correctly too :D
Otoh small songbirds seldom live beyond 3 years in the wild :(
Just saw this article today about the phenomenon :/

thank you for the detailed comment!
Hungary was also won by a new party (though the leader came from Fidesz), not the existing, discredited opposition.
It will take years of work, but they made a great start on it.
Interestingly someone employed in a highly-sought-after profession may be more financially stable and well-off than a struggling small company owner, even if the latter employs others.
Or to take an example from my wider family: A lady in her 70s (with a more well-off relative securing the loan) managed to buy a small flat to rent out on AirBnB. If not for this, her state pension would not be enough to cover her food and bills, and no one hires older women where she lives. (And she has no savings to speak of.) Like, she’s technically a landlord now, but even with the AirBnB income she’s barely scraping by, so I can’t really see her as bourgeois.
Btw is it just me or parboiled rice tastes much worse than regular rice? Granted I’ve been avoiding it like the plague in the last two decades, but I have some bad memories of how flavourless and weird-textured it was.
(And since I learned the trick of cooking rice in salty, olive-oily water that I wait to boil away/absorb, that’s all I do, the end result tastes amazing compared those sad plastic bags of rice we cooked in my childhood.)
Was that red dress washed before? I always wash new clothes before the first wear, then just separate lights and darks in general. (Disclaimer: I own literally zero white clothes, so even the light ones are already pastel colours.)
I saw quite a few posts about it on hiking/sports subreddits in the olden days, it’s used for removing odour from sports shoes. I even tried it myself - depends on the shoe ofc, but like 30°C and lowest/no spin was completely fine. Pre-wipe the mud off, and add some worn old towels for padding, so it’s not just two shoes clanging around in the empty machine.
That must have been some very al dente rice. When cooked in a pan brown rice needs more than twice the cooking time than white.
I recently switched to a PyLova instance (a soft fork of PieFed), and so far this seems the most user-friendly of the three :)
Most likely. Some people in the bottom right have their face on the back of their head. (Also before I noticed that I checked in TinEye, and the earliest occurrence it found was Jan 2025.) And the whole pic has that AI way of smudging together shapes.
Same, but tbh I see like one ad every… half a year? I’m always startled when one actually gets through uBlock & AdGuard, it’s such a rare occasion.
I inadvertently do this sometimes when opening new Github issues 😆 By the time I thoroughly explain the situation, I realise my mistake or the way I could solve/circumvent the problem on my end, so I just don’t submit the ticket.
