True! Then instead of spilling my coffee on the counter I could spill it on the counter instead.

Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, right?

LLM chatbots are designed as echo chambers.

They’re designed to generate natural sounding language. It’s a tool. What you put in is what you get out.

One is 25 €/month and on-demand, and the other costs more than I can afford and would probably be at inconvenient times anyway. Ideal? No, probably not. But it’s better than nothing.

I’m not really looking for advice either - just someone to talk to who at least pretends to be interested.

I doubt it. They just think others do.

Sure - it’s just missing every single one of my friends.

I wish I had Elon Musk money so I could buy this platform and turn it back to pictures only with the main focus on professional and hobbyist photographers - not pictures of food and selfies. It used to be one of the few social media platforms I actually liked.

Not really but we occasionally refer to it as “Big Black” for obvious reasons.

The best coffee I’ve ever drank was from Aeropress but honestly, if you use freshly ground beans on a Moccamaster they’re quite difficult to tell apart.

I don’t wish to kill anyone and reading these comments makes me sick.

I don’t waste good coffee.

When I make coffee just for myself, I always measure out the same amount of water and this never happens. But my SO is slightly less autistic about it than I am and makes inconsistent amounts when brewing for the two of us - and I just can’t stand the thought of pouring even a drop of coffee down the drain. So, I spill it on the table and floor instead.

I live in a small granny cottage and “my desk” means the kitchen table 2.5 meters away. I technically could move it to my desk and it would still remain in the kitchen.

The level of consciousness in something like a brain parasite or a slug is probably so dim that it barely feels like anything to be one. So even if you were reincarnated as one, you likely wouldn’t have much of a subjective experience of it. The only way to really experience a new life after reincarnation would be to come back as something with a complex enough mind to actually have a vivid sense of existence. Not that it matters much - it’s not like you’d remember any of your past lives anyway.

If reincarnation were real and I had to bet money on how it works, I’d put it down to something like the many‑worlds interpretation of quantum physics - where being “reborn as yourself” just means living out one of your alternate timelines in a parallel universe.

Or maybe I just need to start drinking straight from the jug.

Moccamaster is relatively popular brand where I live. Most people know about it. It always boggles my mind when I see a middle class family with a 35€ coffee maker. Why cheap out on something you’re using multiple times a day for the rest of your life? These things are not that expensive and spare parts are widely available.

Now that I think of it, the Finnish translation for this is “purkkapatentti” which translates to “chewing gum patent”

The problem I’m dealing with right now is kind of a first world one in that I’m unable to ride my electric bicycle because the speed sensor is malfunctioning and the sensor from my other bike is incompatible as it’s a 4-pin one and the other bike uses a 3-pin one. I do have a 3rd bike too but it’s not fun to ride due to lack of electric assist.

Yeah, I check that it’s not .ml first.

Someone want to explain to a muggle in plain english what this does and how it’s different from simply using a VPN?
