I don’t understand that point of view? Why would they pay their CEOs less than any other company? If they did, then they would either not be able to hire CEOs, have the shittiest CEOs or have CEOs that wouldn’t give a crap. People don’t live on welfare, especially highly connected, highly educated people like CEOs.

- Yes dad! I’m a sissy removed, and I like to watch man like me getting steamrolled by big black hunks!

- I came to ask you if you wanted a slice of pizza… but okay.

What about the respect given to an individual because of its status in society? There are certain people that have a base level of respect because of their seniority, job or role during a period of time.

Those people may or may not show the same amount of respect towards others as is shown to them in general. And I dare say, there will be people willing to defend them even if they are not up to expectations, just because they have that seniority/job/role.

Take for instance:

• Some politicians
• Some celebrities
• Some senior members of an organisation, like CEOs, CTOs, senior managers, etc.

It doesn’t make sense because it’s some conspiracy theory level bullshit. It would imply that big CEOs or board members either:

• Possess a big percentage of the current real estate properties (and I mean, huge, like 50%)
• Big part of their assets are in real estate (again, more than 30%)

And, that of course, they are all colluding. Meaning, there is a kind of Illuminati kind of society of all the CEOs that get together with pie charts and excels to see how to maximize their profits.

It’s a delusion that people with a low grasp of reality are using to cope with the fact that:

• Economy is shit
• There are people that, because of connection and money, are unscathed by the economic shitinnes we live in
• Because the economy is shit, companies are grasping to get out of red numbers
• Because we have had mediocre to sheerly bad managers in almost every industry for most of the last three decades thanks to some economic bonanzas, the only way they see they can improve the margins is by doing stupid things like back to office

I like Hanlon’s razor for these cases: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I this, I feel, is indeed that.

Exactly! I would add that you can still use “no binario” or “no binaria” in a (somewhat) respectful manner. For instance, you can say “persona no binaria” (non binary person), “comunidad no binaria” (non binary community), because both nouns are feminine, you can use the feminine alteration of “no binario”. For masculine I would go with “su género es no binario” (its gender in non binary), since gender is masculine and “su” doesn’t imply any gender at all.

Again, not an expert just another fellow native Spanish speaker with a bit of a geekiness about languages.

Risotto. I make one with panceta and mushrooms that can’t be easier to make. And the principle is to just stir for 20’ or so.

Ingredients (serves for 2)

• Risotto type rice (Arborio, Carnerolli or similar) 150 gr
• Chicken broth (homemade, if store bought then liquid, never in cubes) 1 lt
• Onion 1 medium
• Panceta 200 gr
• Mushrooms (fresh) 200 gr
• Olive oil
• White wine
• Parmesan cheese (grated or in very small chunks) 50gr
• Butter 20 gr

Prep

1. In a pot, put the broth to heat. It’s not required for it to boil just to be hot.
2. Chop the onion in very small cubes, as small as the rice grain if possible (so when you are eating it, you don’t feel it)
3. Chop the panceta in cubes (no bigger than your thumb)
4. In a big pot, at mid heat, put the panceta to brown and defat
5. Once the panceta is brown and you have a good fat source at the bottom, remove and reserve the panceta
6. Put the onion in the pot and use the same fat from the panceta to sauté it. If you need more, you can use olive oil.
7. Once the onion is almost translucent, put the rice and pearl the rice. From now on, you should always be mixing the rice with a big wooden spoon or similar. Never stop stirring. This will make the rice to let all the starch go, which will make your risotto creamy.
8. Once the rice is pearled, pour some wine to deglase and keep stirring.
9. Once the wine has evaporated and you hear the crackling, pour some broth until the rice is submerged, keep stirring.
10. Once your broth is evaporated and you start hearing the crackling again, put the panceta, the mushrooms and pour some more broth. Keep stirring.
11. When you see that you are low on broth and hear that the rice is crackling, check on the rice for the cooking point. It should be al dente, meaning that you should be able to bite it and feel some resistance, but it should be very edible. If you still feel it too hard, pour more broth and keep stirring.
12. When your rice is done, take the pot away from the fire, and put the parmesan cheese with the butter. Stir and mix until it’s uniform and creamy.
13. Serve hot in small bowls or similar plates
14. Decorate with olive oil, fresh grinded pepper and parsley.

Oh! I would definitely see for Gilfoyle’s comments. Something like: “Anton will make you wish you were a simple toaster, biped smart fridge”

This old meme brings back memories. Gosh it was so funny, and still is.

Remote in the ass and all.

14 years, man. And I’m still amazed. I never noticed he gets undressed under the sheets.

Ah… war. The oldest and most revered of all human traditions. That and rape. We sure are a lovely bunch.

Silicon Valley and Nier: Automata. I guess there’s no good match sometimes.

That actually went full circle, 12 Monkeys style.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Let’s agree to disagree. It’s true that these companies are vulnerable and lovely honeypots for hackers. And because they know that, they’ll try to harden as much as possible. Besides, not everyone is willing to create passwords out of algorithms seeded with mnemonics. Most of the people will reuse the same password over and over in different places. And that’s the worst situation, because most of those sites are hundreds of times more hackable than commercial password managers.

Are there better options than commercial password managers? Yes, of course. How many are willing to use them? Maybe less than 30% of the population. And that’s bad, because it makes the internet less safe for everyone.

And by the way, the method you use is one of the earliest ways to create passwords and is hackable by brute force in seconds. If I have two or more passwords, or two or more seeds, the algorithm is done unless you have some random generator in it.

Why?

In general, password managers are a must-have in today’s world. The question is not if you should have one, but which one and why.

As a Software Engineer very conscious about security and privacy, but also with a high practicality sense, I’d say you should opt for whatever you feel more comfortable.

If you don’t want to manage anything, then 1password, BitWarden, LastPass or any of those might be right for you. If you are more of the kind to tinker with everything, then you can have your own OwnCloud/NextCloud and use KeePassXC.

I particularly used the later setup, but NextCloud was too much to handle for me, and settled with KeePassXC + Dropbox.

You do you, but use a password manager.

I used to do it that way, but the Nextcloud instance was very fragile and cumbersome to maintain. In the end I switched to Dropbox. Must admit it’s not my proudest move, but there’s a point where I can work so much in something.

If you only take calories intake as the sole driver, you’ll have a very bad diet.

Yes, they have the same calories as potato chips, but the nutritional profile is insanely better. If you look into this comparison, While it’s true peanuts contains more fat.than potatoes, they have less than half the saturated fats than potato chips. That’s the kind of fat you have to avoid because they affect your heart and body composition negatively.

Also, they contain a huge amount of proteins and dietary fiber. Just by taking 200gr of peanuts, you’ve met your good fats and proteins intake without reaching your calorie intake. And you are still 1/3 down in fiber. Put some celery there, and you are sweet.

And if 100gr of peanuts is not satiating enough, maybe you should recheck your diet. I usually have 30 to 50 gr as a snack in the afternoon, and I’m set until dinner. And I’m having a daily calorie intake over 2400 cal.

Curiously, peanuts 🥜.

100 gr of peanuts have almost all the fatty acids that you need in a day, with almost half the minimum calorie intake required and half the protein you need. They are satiating, VERY easy to grow, and even used as a way to replenish the soil with nutrients in crop rotation.

If you ask me what was the mana taken through the dessert, I’d say most likely peanuts.

If true, that actually speaks volumes. Like what kind of guy removes a dead man, at some point revered, from the list of co-founders. What do you lose by not doing it? What did you win by doing it? I mean, the odds are you lost more than anything. Besides, he should have been your partner. Even if you did for the cash, what about all the moments you had with him? Was Aaron such a piece that you’d rather have him erased?

I seriously can’t get it.
