Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast

in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

I found where they’re conserving you

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

Americans really need to make their mind up, what are we the bland spiceless nation with no seasonings, or are we the weird nation with a wall of unknowable spices that are strange of foreign??

Like, I get all of these aren’t super common, but surely everyone should have Zaatar and Sumac??

yeah, with fruit and veg the recommendation i've seen is to always wash (but i think unless stuff is visibility dirty most people don't), especially if it's raw

i do get the instinct after having bad a dirty egg, i suspect we were talking at cross purposes for a bit there

i mean yeah if one slips through the process then wash the pack off if you want to be sure, but again this is usually done before it hits the shelves. if they're visibly clean i wouldn't worry if you're washing hands after anyway

yeah? if there's crud on it you should wash it off, no one is (or at least i haven't been) arguing against that. most stuff gets the wash before it gets to you, but sometimes something slips through

before or after they cooked it? if it was before and the dirt was washed off then no, not at all

the concern is bacteria getting onto your hands rather than the food as (i assume) you're cooking the eggs which kills the bacteria anyway

fair enough, i thought that was a mistype. then yeah just wash it and wash your hands after, sometimes stuff slips through, no system is perfect

that's one big reason why we cook food. and why it's not recommended to eat eggs raw

that's why they're given a rinse. also bacteria die when you cook food

then i have to be honest, if it's not coming off i'm not entirely convinced it was poop at all instead of just natural brown spots on the shell

the membrane is antibacterial and prevents bacteria getting in, which is why it isn't removed in european eggs

also, genuine question, was that photo from before or after you washed the egg? did the mark come off when you washed it?

- if you're worried about any amount of poop or germs getting in your food i've got bad news about everything you've ever eaten or will eat

- the eggs (and all produce) are washed, just not the intensive wash that happens in the US that destroys the membrane
- chickens are vaccinated against salmonella and eggs are checked before they get to stores so no need for the intensive wash

not the first time you've done it either. i get adapting to another country is hard but being rude, ignoring contradictory evidence and subtweeing the people trying to help and explain is just unpleasant behaviour

going to be honest jess, this is deeply disappointing from you. we've been trying to explain why there's differences and you've been nothing but insulting in return

Across the UK in 2017, there were 63,946 confirmed cases of infection from campylobacter and 10,089 infections from salmonella, equating to 0.1% and 0.02% of the population respectively. ...

numbers from the bbc:

The US government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there are about 1.3 million illnesses from campylobacter and 1.2 million illnesses from salmonella a year, affecting about 0.4% of the population...

so people don't wash a lot of stuff as that bit is done before it gets to you

my understanding is that they are given A Wash but not the intensive membrane destroying wash that happens in the US that allows bacteria to transfer to the inside of the shell

the same is true for all produce that may for one reason or another be dirty, such as potatoes

jess i love you but US vs. European food safety standards is not a hill you want to die on

I hope they announce a new Pokémon Pinball tomorrow 🙂

incredible stretch this morning
