I’m chaotic good, I actually capture spiders and release them in my house. I have a population of Crossopriza lyoni in my house, all spawned from one mother.

People who complain about the fact that “emails” is an incorrect plural form, even if it’s incredibly common and accepted, and sometimes language evolves and changes, should be sure that they write it ‘E-mail’, and also don’t forget to capitalize Internet!

What I don’t like about this experiment is that being hyperphantic doesn’t necessarily mean “you need photographic visualizations of every scenario at all times”. My mind conjures scenarios differently depending on context.

I can imagine myself barely being able to see a ball on a table, let alone a person moving into view.

I can see the ball having a glossy, low-res texture alla 1980s CGI, with the ball being pushed by a polygon figure, moving without any real animation and limply falling off the table with no gravitational speed.

I can picture a worn, shiny leather baseball sitting on an old coffee table, stained walnut. The person is Mark Wahlberg and he has a smirk on his face as he lazily finger-flicks the ball, which only barely makes it to the edge of the table before just being able to tip off the edge, bouncing twice with a heavy bomp-bomp and rolling unevenly for a couple seconds. Mark winces because his finger hurts now. I could also imagine the flavor of the baseball and what it would smell like.

The point is that an aphantic might only be able to visualize this scenario at best as well as the first description, or perhaps not even at all and they can only ‘know’ of the movements in the scene with zero visual or otherwise relation to it.

Hyperphantics generally can conjure near limitless detail and they can retain that information visually for long periods of time without much effort.

People often write how they talk, and I find the best authors will incorporate dialect and intonation into their writing. One of my favorite examples is of Blood Meridian. It’s so amazing that one can literally tell who is talking purely from word choice and grammar with no quotation marks and often no indicators of who is speaking.

Delicious sycamore tea, my favorite

When she’s a goblin, I start a-wobblin

When she’s a goblin, there ain’t a prob-lin

Keep your dick in a vice

See I’m the opposite. The cabinets are an absolute eyesore, but the floor looks awesome. I would love to have a floor like that

Maybe I’m just screaming into the void here, but does it seem like, as a person who is still relatively out of touch with linux, I don’t necessarily have to update my Arch distribution whenever there are new updates available? I could theoretically just go on downloading new programs, uninstalling old ones, using everything as it sits until theoretically something breaks?

Not to preach to the choir, but my sleep quality improved greatly when I started a very physical job. Not to say you have to do that, but moving around can be very beneficial

Look for antique CI and you’ll get less weight. I love CHF (Chicago Hardware Foundry) and BSR (Birmingham something something…) pans because they’re thinner casting and smooth finish. I also have some Antiques from the 19th C that get regular use. I can’t stand modern pans. They are all way too heavy, and that pebbled surface is a pain in the ass to cook on and clean. It’s no wonder people hate cast iron

If you’re buying modern garbage $10 pans from Dollar General don’t be surprised when they’re not performing as well as your Cuisinart SS. I have all SS and cast iron, and they both get about equal usage. CI is just better for meats. The higher heat conductivity and even temperature across the surface (with proper time to warm up) is incredibly useful. Searing is unsurpassable with CI. You can be rough with CI and it takes the beating in stride.

SS is better for quick heat and rapid changes in temperature. Boiling water, sauces, roux, etc.

I’ve had cast iron pans with old dinner remains sat in the bottom for 3 days, it comes off with hot water. And yes I use soap and water. If you use a good oil for seasoning and you set your pan up nicely you don’t have to worry about babying the seasoning.

twice as long

If you’re using CI for the right use cases it is WAY faster than aluminum. As I said, the heat transfer of iron is extremely good compared to thin walled aluminum or stainless. CI will cook chicken very fast. It’s all down to knowing your tools and using them correctly.

I can tap a nail into a wall with pliers, doesn’t mean they won’t do the job as well as a hammer.

Why do I hear progressively closer popping noises??

Like Yusef Lateef, the jazz musician!

It looks like it says Cafe youssef. Youssef is a fairly common last name.

What kind of things would we be gaining efficency for? Markdown? It seems graphically to be a very spartan program. If I’m only writing text, what value would I gain from learning vim versus a graphical text editor that incorporates markdown and page design?

To add to your line of query, what if I don’t give a shit about writing code and I just use Linux as a casual laptop user? I’ve never looked at vim or emacs, I use Kate and OnlyOffice

My sleep schedule I’ve been doing for years now is to sleep maybe 4-5 max hours at night and take a 20 minute nap after work.

I have a rather old office laser from like 20 years ago and it is amazing. No DRM and I buy really cheap ink cartridges. The HP site does sell my cartridge still… For over $200.
