brogeroni Link ParentVery interesting talking about the mv2 extensions that are gonna be turned off. I half wonder if Google will postpone it again and give you an extension. Also yeah it would be a great business...Very interesting talking about the mv2 extensions that are gonna be turned off. I half wonder if Google will postpone it again and give you an extension.
Also yeah it would be a great business opportunity to get a bunch of extensions out to substitute for abandoned mv2 extensions in the next few months. Thanks for the idea!

Sometimes/usually it results in 2 requests to the server (once for email, once for password) so it slows down people who are trying out a ton of leaked username/password combos.

the cultures of the fighting units very quickly indoctrinate to normalise deviance
But in regards to this, I think we should think about how we define these terms. In order to be deviant, you need to both 1) have a normal and 2) break away from that normal. What the author is arguing is rather that the normal is terrible, horrific, etc etc. Most of us are normal (by definition), and we would just go with the flow and gun down the prisoners without much pushback. It's rather the deviants who (eagerly gun down prisoners OR refuse to gun down prisoners). Instead, I would say that by default we are terrible, and it's society keeping us from murduring people and helping us deviate from our default state.
There was a Q&A episode with the author later on in that podcast season about what was the most disappointing thing he learned while making that season. While researching pre-history, he was always looking for "happy time", when people were nice to each other before the modern age ruined everyone. Turns out, people were horrible to each other for as far back as we have history.

Comment on What do you eat when you're sick? in ~food
brogeroni LinkI love chicken noodle soup, but not the nice fancy ones. No, it needs to be the artificial lipton kind which just seems optimised for sick people (maybe it's the boatload of salt). But otherwise...I love chicken noodle soup, but not the nice fancy ones. No, it needs to be the artificial lipton kind which just seems optimised for sick people (maybe it's the boatload of salt).
But otherwise plain congee with some pickled mustard greens works great too.

Hey everyone, I've recently made a large batch (90ish) of cookies trying to repurpose brownie mix. It's the Ghirardelli kind if you've seen it before.
On the plus side, the texture's great, it looks like a cookie, and it's chewy like the edge pieces of a brownie. It's very chcolatey, and you can see obvious chunks of chocolate. On the minus side, it's extremely sweet.
Does anyone have ideas on how to use this somewhere else less sweet?
Some ideas I've had so far include crushing the cookies into chunks, and using those chunks to make more cookies (all the ingredients except sugar), like how one would reuse old asphalt do when repaving a road. Another idea is making a cake with these scattered throughout, or using it as a cheesecake crust.
