I guess that’s just the intentional innuendo I use about it. If you look up bjj memes (or Craig Jones) you’ll find most people preempt the jokes insecure people might make about dressing up in lycra and wrestling with other sweaty men in a padded room.

Cool! Yeah, they also have Ringen which also can be nice! I tried sword fighting a couple of times but I don’t like the competition form of it (also I’m bad at it).

I do more than playfully wrestle with my friends. As I do BJJ. I actively try to choke them out or try to break their limbs or try to tear their ligaments apart. It’s very fun for all. Though while it’s open to anyone I do get most people wouldn’t enjoy it. It’s personally physical to the extreme since on top of the close physical contact you’re also sweating all over each other to the point sweat dripping in your eyes or mouth will statistically happen at least once.

Honestly if you feel like you miss playful fighting with friends, do a trial class of it.

Yellow with blue line us even better for CCTV use imo.

Like the other commenter said, most people love it or hate it. It’s a very long book series with books that are very large by itself.

Erikson gives you a character POV of that moment in the story. There’s no exposure of what is going on and who is who. I love Malazan but I heavily struggled with that hard at first. Some people say you need to wait till book 3 before you can like it. And while by that point some of the rougher edges in the style are smoothed out I think it’s perfectly fine to say you don’t like it a couple chapters into book one.

Personally I liked it about a quarter into book one since I enjoyed the history being promised, and the very original magic system that I still didn’t quite understand but was fascinated by.

And then there’s people like Steven Erikson who pump out one of the best book series ever, imho.

If you only have to use it 15 minutes every week it’s probably not worth getting to know.

I work in a Windows shop, so I love everything being an object, most of the time. At least for the things that are worked out completely.

It’s great for things you need to iterate or just for figuring out what you can do by piping a result to get-member. If you are interested in getting better at powershell at some point, I highly recommend Powershell in a month of lunches. (Also because I like Manning’s model where they automatically offer the digital versions of books they sell, and also offering free previews of the entire book, given enough time)

Sure there are side-effects but in that case the side effects were worth having versus millions of deaths

I mean, one of the most commonly mentioned side effects was something that happened in a much more serious form with a real COVID infection. It’s the easiest way to meet antivaxxers in the middle if they’re arguing in good faith. Even if there’s a significant side effect of myocarditis, it’s not nearly as common or heavy as the myocarditis die effect of an actual infection.

Not caring what you do on your pc, within reason, is not the same as not monitoring for dangerous actions that could endanger your network or company (and client data). I don’t care what my colleagues do on their pc either. As long as it doesn’t cause me more work.

Logging security incidents is work. So we do block a lot of websites and keep an eye on what you try to run. If we see something wrong we just talk to you and explain why we don’t want you to do that. 99,9% of the time everybody is happy after that.

The idea of this being something you can get fired for or that’s taken into consideration for your evaluation is insane though. We have rights as workers. Keeping the network safe means I can see some extent of what you do. Your boss or their boss has no right to that information unless you state you will continue endangering the network. Even in that case I wouldn’t even tell them the websites tbh.

Security software isn’t tracking software. It should be able to hook into every current semi popular browser without you being able to disable it.

On the other hand, allowing users who don’t know the answer to the question you’re asking to both install VPN software and allow them this kind of traffic is a compliance violation to begin with.

Having a talk about it doesn’t mean they care. They’d just want you to stop doing that on the work network.

If you’re using company hardware on a company network and our security software says you’re visiting ransomware like URLs, it’s very much legal monitoring as it’s for a technical reason. It’s probably mandatory since you need to do this to protect the personal data your company stores.

More often than not you probably signed a document stating you understood and accepted this.

Cooking a fresh steak to 63 degrees sounds like a waste of money to me. ( And so does cooking chicken to 70) But I think we can all agree to that because we know those are the temperatures that indicate safety if it reaches that for 1 second. And lower temperatures over time are also good.

Generally I prefer reverse searing steak because it allows for a tender perfect inside with a hard crust and no gradients in the doneness. But if I don’t have time for that (or for a sous vide waterbath) I just cook straight out of the fridge in a cast iron while flipping every thirty seconds. And for anyone doubting that flipping 30 seconds is superior to not touching it before flipping once: your steaks will be less evenly cooked which I don’t like but you are free to do so ofcourse. Read Kenji’s article on it if you don’t believe me: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-food-lab-flip-your-steaks-and-burgers-multiple-times-for-better-results

A fresh steak should be safe to eat raw. I’ve never heard of a target temp for food safety for steak either tbh.

If anything bringing steak to “room temp” would be more likely to bring it in a danger zone.

I’ve never seen a comparative experiment that confirms this habit and I don’t see how that would make a difference. Especially not if you use a thermometer.
