Fine, but why is this here?
Duct tape, as in the grey fiber reinforced tape that we typically think of, is not really a good solution for actually taping ducts.
When you are taping ducts, you typically want to use some type of foil thing, like this, but there are many varieties.
Of course, tape for ducts is, kinda, duct tape by definition. As you can see by how it’s categorized on the home despot site.
And you can reuse them, especially for something like this.
A fresh ham? In a crock pot or smoker?
This post got me craving soup, so I made another post on cooking. Care to continue the discussion there?
There’s something wrong with the way your soup was prepared.
Diced carrots, onion, celery. Saute in butter until ready. Add rinsed split peas, a few bay leaves, salt and pepper. Ham and a ham bone really make this, but make sure there’s not too much ham. That means too much salt. Put those in and cover with (ideally home made, no salt) stock. Cook until done. Remove bone, return meat and cartilage to soup.
So much fiber, so tasty. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions (I really, really despise green beans), but some opinions are less good than others.
There’s nothing that can possibly be bad in that.
Pasta fagioli for me.
The texture of pasta and beans together is just all wrong.
Anyway, if you make homemade stock, that stock plus anything is delicious soup.
Have you ever had split pea soup?
You will be the most regular you’ve ever been the next morning. Like toothpaste.
Plus so tasty.
Bless the maker and his water.
That’s conspiratorial thinking.
You have a “plausible” explanation of which there isn’t really any good evidence, and where the lack of evidence is a condition for the explanation.
In any case, you’re assuming that a “little” decision like supervising Epstein one on one was was made by an exceptional person (and presumably as intelligent as yourself), but the reality is that anyone accomplishing big things needs to delegate almost all of their work.
The people operating there were not viewing this event as too special. Most people who are that forward thinking are not in that position.
did someone in power get a note saying “this is likely to happen and here’s how to prevent it”, and it get burried.
That’s just how reality works.
If you followed up and dealt with every low probability event (and most events of interest are low probability and most every low probability event would get a note about it in a large, properly functional government), first, it would be impossible, and second, you’d end up doing more harm then good.
It shows up best in the medical field because who doesn’t want to catch a disease earlier? Right? And, no matter who pays for it, there is money in extra medical treatment (despite the harm that unnecessary medical treatment causes, and the fact that if you underscreen, you also cause problems, and those are more likely to embarrass you).
The jist is when you screen (like a mammogram or some political quant writing a note about their thoughts), there is some probability that the information is wrong.
A false positive is when you find that event/question/prediction/whatever A is true, but it is not in fact.
Then there’s false negative, when you find that A is false, but it is not. (Additionally, true positive and true negative)
When you screen for “rare” events (which includes a lot of things that we might not think of as rare, or rare enough, like breast cancer or potential criminals), a vast majority of the people that screen positive will be false positive. The lower probability the event, the higher the false positive rate. It doesn’t really matter much to the math what the false negative rate is.
This is extremely counter intuitive to people, even when you’ve been shown the extremely simple math, it takes a while to internalize.
This is just a trivial example of Baye’s rule.
It’s also why you’ll never be able to treat mass shootings as a mental health issue or predict crimes unless you’re willing to put a lot of innocent people in jail.
A simple distro, like one for a raspberry pi, is also helpful.
This is my hypothesis as well, but it’s not unique to tech writing.
It’s everything. Having a top search result for a common query is just worth too much money.
Can someone please look up these words in a dictionary?
Part of speech is not the issue. The issue is referring to a human as their sex in a sexual context.
If you think a doctor saying, “the patient is a female” is in any sense incorrect or rude, you’re wrong, and I don’t believe that you don’t already know that.
Be nice.
Jesus Christ. Just be nice.
Why is no one on Lemmy nice.
