I guess people don't care how fucked up someone is as long as they're in the right side of the political aisle.

No, the tags are in PhotoPrism. I don't let it modify my original images.

Damn I wanna switch to Immich, but have a lot of self-tagged photos on PhotoPrism. I haven't been able to find a way to safely transfer all manually applied tags, and edited metadata from PhotoPrism to Immich yet. Maybe I'll just have to bite the bullet and write a script myself.

Wealthy people get most of their income from capital gains, which is taxed entirely differently.

Because we can't possibly change how it works so that we can tax capital gains too, right? Give me a break.

In a world where nobody is threatened by poverty or hardship, having a hobby of collecting diamonds doesn’t hurt anyone.

Keep living in fantasy land. How do you think something like that will be achieved, if people are allowed to hoard as much money as they want? What is the incentive to do any good if greed is celebrated and never punished?

someone just repeats what they see in memes

You're just a centrist neoliberal. What you're suggesting is literally what has brought us here.

it’s hard to take you seriously

The feeling is mutual.

Also, when someone starts to dish out personal attacks unprovoked, it's a dead giveaway that they don't actually have a point.

The street outside the US Consulate in Kolkata was renamed after Ho Chi Minh during the Vietnam War.

That sounds like a scene from a Roy Anderson movie lol.

The thing is, those two sentiments are completely antithetical. If there's no limit to what one can own, how would there be a limit to what they want? Even if we can't stop people from owning too much, we at least need to make it as hard as possible. 90% tax brackets need to come back.

Our world was doomed to go into the gutter the moment we started giving any credence to the marketing bastards.

It's not the best way though. Idk why you'd hate on someone actually providing a solution.

In general, Gulab Jamun is soft and soggy, full of sugary syrup. The exact taste, softness, sogginess etc. depends on where in India you're trying it. Like most Indian desserts (or maybe even cuisine in general), it's a common name given to a diverse array of related desserts. (Mostly by foreigners. In India, we usually use the regional names.) They all have regional names, and are very similar but distinct. For example, in my hometown, it's called Pantua, and it'll be softer but less sweet than say in Western India.

Same fo Jalebi (we call it Jilipi). It's crunchy, and sweet, and a little sticky. Once again , the sweetness varies a lot depending on where you are. It's usually made from fermented wheat flour. I've also seen different kinds of flour being used to make the dough, which changes the taste a lot.

Sorry if I wasn't helpful, but it's just very hard to explain how it tastes, because it depends on so many factors.

See, patriarchy hurts men too.

Edit: My reply was to the now struck out part.

 

I'm sorry but I'm frustrated by the blatant misuse of AI by my students and colleagues alike. It's so obvious when they don't understand what they've written.

Sure, playing chess needs intelligence, dedication, and good chess players are smarter than an average person. But it's waaaay exaggerated in movies. I'm a math researcher, and in any movie, my department will be full of chess geniuses. But in reality, only about 10% of them even play chess.

 

I'm trying to pull manual shots from my Breville Bambino, and it simply isn't working. I'm following the steps in the manual. (Press and hold the double-shot button for pre-infusion, then release it for the extraction to start, and then press again to stop.) The issue is, the machine stops midway, before I press the button. Seems like it's doing the pre-programmed double shot volume, and stopping after that. Does anyone has experience pulling manual shots from this machine? Should I contact Breville for a repair?

Edit: It fixed itself after performing a factory reset.

I currently have a zfs pool with mirrored vdevs, and it's working well. It only has HDDs. I was planning to add an SSD I have lying around as a Metadata Special Device, since I've read that it can improve performance by quite a bit. I've also read that if I do that, and if the special device dies, I lose my pool.

Now, I don't want to buy new SSD pairs for mirroring this one, so is there a way to ensure that the metadata is also stored on the HDD as usual, along with the SSD? I guess I want it to work like a cache for the metadata, and not the only place for it.
