You might check out recipes for Indian lemon pickle. It's a way of salt fermenting them that results in a spicy delicious condiment that can last for ages.

Can you summon a song in your head? A melody?

It's that.. But it's your voice. And you employ it to think. It's how I argue with myself and reason my way through a thing. I'm not sure how I'd get along without it, except every once in a while I get stuck on a problem, so I do something different. Often, the right solution to the thing I wanted to do will pop into my head. Then I need to work backwards how I got there. Both are useful, I prefer the information up front though.

I use it for reasoning. It's a way to talk to myself without having to do so out loud, which I do a lot.

There is a segment of the population who, apparently, don't have one. Even deaf people apparently have an inner monologue of hand signs visualized. But this segment just lacks one entirely. I don't understand how they think, how they come to a conclusion. Things just pop into my mind, when I take my mind away from other matters and let my subconscious bake on an item... is this the way they think about everything? I don't know.

It's absolutely authoritarian. You're an idiot if you think otherwise. I'm not even going to offer an argument, you're just stupid.

Speaking as a "muh gunz" person that person is fucking stupid

Reusing credentials is their fault. Sure, 23&me should've done better, but someone was likely to get fucked, and if you're using the same password everywhere it is objectively your fault. Get a password manager, don't make the key the same compromised password, and stop being stupid.

Weather/room temp wise we probably never will. I'd rather think of my environment in terms of 0 to 100 than in terms of -18 to 38. For science and engineering, Celsius is ideal, and I can convert between the two in the very rare occasion I need to because I'm not an idiot who can't do basic math.

50 is great for just a light jacket and jeans. You'll never get too hot, you won't get too cold. So, yeah, as long as you've got clothes on it's pretty perfect.

If I want to wear less clothes then 70 is a good bit better, but 50 is damn comfortable.

Self reflection is good. Learning from your mistakes is good. Regret is useless. It's just agonizing over something unchangeable. It's important not to confuse them, lest you end up dwelling on the past and missing the lessons.

 

I'm not much of a Minecraft player. But when I want to make some planks my crafting menu goes from oak to spruce to jungle to whatever... It's like I have to time the fucking thing.

Is there a way to make this stop happening? I want to make my planks out of a specific material to save another material. That's annoying. I'd prefer it just have all the options. And the right click menu doesn't help. It lists pictures with no useful tooltips.

What am I missing? Did I fuck up my installation by installing Optifine at some point in the past I don't even remember? Pretty sure it's v1.19.xx

Just.. is this expected or is it something I broke? If it's the former.. is there an extension to disable it?

And this isn't an enterprise thing. It's my home NAS. For business things I just use AWS like any sensible person.
