  • On a general note: IQ means nothing. I mean a lot of IQ tests use pattern recognition tasks that can be helpful but still, having a high IQ says nothing about you ability as developer

    to put this another way… expertise is superior to intelligence. Unfortunately we have this habit of conflating the two. intelligent people some times do some incredibly stupid things because they lack the experience to understand why something is stupid.

    Being a skilled doctor or surgeon doesn’t make you skilled at governance. two different skillsets.


  • So, as someone who’s been cheated on… I can say with certainty that I would never be able to be intimate or vulnerable with my ex. I’m not talking about sex. I’m talking about actual intimacy. It takes trust, and that trust has been broken.

    I wouldn’t give an absolute “don’t do it” because everyone is different and every relationship is unique, and I certainly wouldn’t chime in without being asked, but I doubt very much the relationship you have now will ever be what you had before.

    It doesn’t really matter what you do, or how you’ve changed. The thoughts will still be there, insidiously causing doubt.















  • Sous vide doesn’t happen at 98 f, 37c.

    You don’t start killing off bacteria until 130f, 54c, which is the ‘real’ point of cooking. (oh there’s also texture reasons, making it more palatable. but generally we cook foods so it’s safe to eat.)

    Generally, the only things you’d prepare at lower than 130f, are things that don’t have a problem with bacteria- whole plants and vegetables. Which is why cut up fruits and veggies are meant to be refrigerated- this stalls off the bacterial growth that the plant can’t stop because it’s barrier to do that has been removed.

    but no. Chopping off a bicep or something won’t cook at your core body temperature- and in point of fact, your surface temp is actually much lower.
