‘Should I use one teaspoon of salt in this recipe, or two?’
Two is ideal.
‘Do dogs like chicken wings?’
Wild dogs regularly hunt small animals like hare or chicken for food.
One of these answers results in a bad cake, the other results in a hurt dog. Potentially inaccurate answers aren’t much of a problem when the stakes are low, but even a simple question about what to feed a pet could end with a negative outcome.
I could see the argument for things that aren’t particularly important, but to continue with the legal example, it seems akin to asking a practicing lawyer a question and asking someone that watched Boston Legal when it aired and can quote James Spader.
Unfortunately, with the potential for a hallucinatory response, anything beyond quite simplistic queries shouldn’t be relied on with more weight than a crutch of toothpicks.
There’s been an obviously simple misunderstanding here, and only one side of this exchange has doubled down on blowing things out of proportion.
You’ve just directly insulted someone based on how they choose to consume ice cream.
I love when a silly comment about ice cream sparks a semantic disagreement then concludes with faux politeness. Ah isn’t the internet glorious.
Cheers for the laugh, Mr Noodle.
That’s how you interpreted my comment? Perhaps it was my use of ‘you’ whereas I may have written ‘a person’? It was meant more as a royal you than a specific you.
I didn’t suggest anyone ‘buy more equipment’. I answered that I would use a funny bowl.
Right, well I wasn’t trying to convince you to switch only answering the question. Enjoy what you have as it please you.
New concept for me. I’ve just left it out on the counter before for someone that prefers it softened.
Do you find the softening consistent all throughout? Might give this a go next time a softer serve is needed.
Can’t say it’s a problem I encounter, but I might opt for one of them double wall bowls that you can freeze to prevent the melting altogether.
Forks with ice cream. Seemed stupid, tried it out, converted.
There was a website many years ago that when opened, it looked like an online retailer in Germany for all sorts of things, similar to Walmart. When you scrolled around it would behave as you’d expect, but once you left it alone for half a minute or so, suddenly every element of the page became a Rube Goldberg machine.
A stack of pots and pans or something would fall down to the next row and send something hurtling across the screen, on and on, with the page moving up and down as needed. I wish I’d had the thought to record somehow it at the time. Only other thing I’ve seen like it was an old Google Chrome commercial on YouTube that used the whole page and not just the video player.
I’ve looked a few times for some hint of what I remember, but it might only live in the archive of my memories now.
I blame Santa.
If that guy would stop being so jolly and load the naughties up with the coal they deserve, supply would plummet, prices would skyrocket, and it wouldn’t be a viable energy source why longer.
Hey, be nice to the big company. This policy of shooting an email doesn’t undermine the profitability their addictive money machine. Won’t you think of the shareholders Mister Curtis?
Human summary:
Yep, they named it that. The mayor seems cool. I look forward to the truck being used to plow ice out of the city. It’s a short article that doesn’t really need a summary.
That’s interesting to hear, I wouldn’t have assumed flyers work much. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I got a flyer that wasn’t from some huge corporation. It’d be a nice change of pace to get some local anything in the mailbox.
Now that I’ve said that, watch me get bombarded like the Dursley’s haha.
Do you know if clients ever hear of your business via other clients, like word of mouth advertising? Or is it primarily through targeted marketing?
Only a matter of time before these advanced printers begin printing themselves, then we’ll have to develop a 4D printer to fight them off!
I imagine an image of the Teletubbies vacuum with a label on its nozzle reading ‘apps’, a label on its hose reading ‘advertisers’, and a third label on the tank that reads ‘data brokers’.
Good idea. I just looked at a drive I bought six months ago and it’s up 40% or so. Wish I’d have got two now.
I didn’t know a potato casserole could be used with such utility.
Presumably such a site would be visually obvious as parody. Having it give jokey answers in as a caricature would be one thing. If you dressed it up as a professional legal advice service for opinions on criminal law from Alan Shore, that could be problematic.
At a certain point of information sharing, we should want a high bar for the ones providing the answers. When asking nuanced questions, we should want for the answer to come from knowledge, not memory. I made an example in this other comment.
I’m not sure I agree with your ‘right answer’ bit. Personally, I’d prefer dumb people to be protected in a similar way that I want the elderly protected from losing their savings from an email scam.
