I really wish their was a setting to tune feed "volatility". This also drive me crazy.

Sometimes I'll be marking something as "not interested", but that time with it spent auto-playing is enough for my feed to turn in to the stuff I just said I wasn't interested in.


There is probably something you are naturally better at, but it might not be something that is very visible, like juggling, or playing guitar. It might be something like being patient with people.

Also, do you have things that you are really interested in, or enjoy doing? I think sometimes the basis for what people call "talent", is really just that some people happen to really like a thing, and then spend a lot of time doing it. )There is obviously also the flip side of this, which is people often prefer doing things they are naturally good at.)

As a final thing, if you really don't have any particular talents, who cares? You are no less valuable a human because of this.


This is really cool - thanks for posting!


I wonder if they target boats using depth sounders? You could imagine the noise might be annoying or aggravating to orcas.


So does the mix now call for slightly smaller eggs?

Or has the mix changed to still work with the same number of eggs?

If the former, that is stupid. If the latter, then the flavour/consistency is bound to change.


It feels like it would be better to make strings as safe, and only log ones that have been marked as such.


EDIT: "mark", not "make"


I have long been telling people the story of how I taught myself to like tomatoes. It really worked. I have loved tomatoes since that fateful day when I was about 17.

Until then, I would bite something with tomato already anticipating that I wouldn't like it. To teach myself, I would imagine the feeling I had before biting in to something I really liked, and I would think "Yummy! I can't wait to bite this yummy tomato!".


Interesting. I always found it to be about the actual ripeness/general produce quality of the tomato.

E.g. an "average" tomato in many countries being used in a dish = fine, but wouldn't eat it alone. I just find them sour and flavourless. An Italian/Greek grown tomato however is truly delicious.


"Never remove what you don't understand" also springs to mind.


Interesting project. Most of the pairs seem to not be taken very far apart.


Out of sight, out of mind...
