    I’d rather hire someone I know is a decent, stand up guy that is easy to work with even if they are not as qualified as a rando, as long as they’re qualified enough. I’m sure this is not always the case, like maybe I need a specialist for a single thing or a consultant or whatnot. But I put a lot of value on personality in general.

    Though I guess it also depends how easy it is to fire someone if they’re not what you wanted.



  • But that same argument works the other way too, no? If you define a chicken egg as an egg that came from a chicken, then if you have a dozen of eggs you cannot know whether they’re chicken eggs or whatever eggs unless you know specifically a chicken laid them. Even if you take a dna test of it and it comes back as “a chicken”, you cannot know whether it is in fact a chicken egg.

    In the other definition you are capable of determining whether the egg is in fact a chicken egg by its contents.


  • No, the shicken egg was a shicken egg even prior to you eating it. The act of giving it a name is irrelevant. The proto-chicken could’ve lain a hundred eggs, each becoming a new “chicken”. If 99 of them die off and are never born then that does not mean they didn’t exist. It just means they did not exist in a way where we could’ve given them a name.







  • Got a robo vacuum (Roborock q revo). Amazing stuff. It runs every day and the first floor has never been cleaner.

    Air fryer has been fun though I’m still trying to learn what works well with it.

    3D printer (Bambulab A1)! So fun.

    I just realised that I’ve spent like 2k on gadgets in the past two months oops.

    Though I really really want a rice cooker but haven’t pulled the trigger… yet.

    Something a bit cheaper is this home made bread that needs no kneading and is amazing.

    3dl water (1.3 cups) pouch of dry yeast (11g, 0.38oz) 1tsp salt 1tbs maple syrup (or whatever syrup) 2dl of dried oats (0.85 cups) 5dl of wheat flour (2.1 cups) 2tbs neutral oil (haven’t tried olive) Seeds if you like!

    Mix up dry ingredients. Add lukewarm water and mix (add a splash or two extra if it looks like not everything is mixed into the dough). Do not knead, just mix. Add oil and mix slightly. Put a baking sheet in a bread pan and pour the dough in it. Add a spritz of water on the dough surface (not necessary though). Cover and leave in room temperature for 30min. Bake at 175C (350f) for 45-60min.

    I think I’ll make one.
