My feeling is that anime / manga is more popular than ever. Kids in my 8 yo nieces and 10 yo nephews class are crazy about Pokemon, Naruto (both seem to be still around...), Haikyuu and My Hero Academia. They are even wearing Haikyuu shirts for PE class. They also have all Yotsuba books and loved reading it. (I read the first two books with them together and it indeed is really fun!)
It would be interesting to have some data on that, but seeing all this anime content on social media and explosion of anime convetions i'd be surprised if there was no huge rise in popularity for both anime / manga.
no one forces you to consume 8 frozen patties at once. Especially since they already are frozen, why not keep them in that state until you crave burgers next time?
Buns can be frozen pretty easily. And regarding the fresh ingredients ... why not just buy a single medium sized tomato and consume just that one? Or buy a big lettuce (which usually isn't very expensive) and make a salad as a side dish?! (honest question: have you ever prepped food before?)
Yes, I buy and cook all the food for my family of four. However, I remember there were a lot of food items that I could never really make work for myself when I lived alone because I could never eat it fast enough to get through it before it went bad.
It is a lot easier now that I have four people to feed, although the issue now is more that our two kids are insanely picky eaters and it is so hard to find meals everyone can eat.
What you describe in your first paragraph is something I hear very often from people that always eat out and don't want to learn how to cook their own food, because for them it's not worth it, due to the reasons you mentioned.
I'm really curious, what are the items that you couldn't make work living by yourself? I personally cannot remember many of these instances back when I cooked just for myself. Most of the food items I had could be frozen or turned into a dish that in the end could be frozen well.
The big reason I almost never eat bread at home is because I'd either have to throw out most of it or freeze it. Of course, I will freeze it to avoid wasting it but frozen bread is really inconvenient and the taste and texture are unappealing and it really needs to be toasted to be edible but it still tastes off.
Maybe we're talking about different kinds of bread (I'm from Germany), but freezing bread here is really common (almost all the old people do that who live alone) and bread is one of the foods that freeze really well. It's similar to freezing rice, after thawing it's almost as good as fresh. (without toasting it or so, just plain bread)
Having a house with two small eaters we pretty much had to give up all fresh produce that we weren’t going to consume or preserve immediately because it goes bad too fast and isn’t worth the waste.
There’s something to be said for the economics of moving enough volume to enable eating fresh.
It's a tiny ass article from a small (? don't know this website) news platform / blog.
They bothered to do some research on that topic + find & interview someone who might provide some insights - or at least has proven knowledge about that topic.
How is that considered *low* effort? I understand criticism of authors where they literally copy paste some random tweet, but critizising this as *low* effort sounds a little unjustified to me.
Were you expecting insider information?
I saw the title ("What's going on at Sriracha?") as leading to a general overview -- not everyone even knows there's any kind of shortage or problem at the company. And not everyone realizes some of the supply process that could lead to a shortage.
I’m not sure if we read the same interview. The documentary guy also just hand waves towards chili pepper shortages, which is what the original company email also clearly says. There is no real additional information, just filler.
I’m not convinced that the average person would find it hard to understand that a shortage of the input ingredient would cause an output crisis.
I think 99.9999% (rough estimate) of people treat a homeless person like a "normal person" by simply ignoring them. Unless there is a reason why one should start a conversation with another person, the majority of people just don't start any kind of interaction at all. And changing your behavior just because the person is homeless breaks the rule to treat them normally.
I'm not sure. If someone in a nice suit came up to me and asked me for food because they're dizzy and haven't eaten, I'd be both perplexed but I'd probably actually take them and their problem seriously and try to help them. Call an ambulance or if it's just mild hypoglycemia buy them some candy because they forgot their wallet or whatever. I'm pretty sure I don't treat the homeless the same way, though maybe I should.
Well at least where I live you see people in nice clothes (also suits) every weekend drunk and dizzy. And no one gives a crap about those guys sobering up in some corner.
I’ve met some well dressed druggies in the PNW and they’re not any more fun to talk to. One guy I remember had some big exit and then decided to just do drugs constantly and “adventures”. He was high as fuck and couldn’t hold on to one coherent thought
Well tutanota is a small company with around two handful employees afaik, I'd assume their budget for maintaining their blog is very limited. Obviously they use their own media channels to portrait themselves as positive as possible, nothing wrong with that in my eyes. It's not that they were spreading any lies or so
Why would anyone, especially a large group spontaneously change one of their core beliefs?
Don't you need some kind of trigger event to enforce the change of mind?
Oh OK sorry I'm not a native English speaker so I might not chose the right words.
I was asking who spontaneously changes their mind without any event that would trigger such a change? If I believe in something, why would I have any motivation to change it if everything is running well / as planned?
Oh it's mostly a figure of speech - the point was that Germans 'changing their mind' was not anything close to 'spontaneous' despite the fact most of it was, over the long term, arduously accomplished by Germans themselves.
I think what you mention about breaking packages is not exclusive to R, that's just the result of community driven, open software development. You have to take care of reproducibility in any programming environment, but this doesn't have to do with the entire package eco system. Especially the tidyverse is very exclusive in that, since it is very fast paced and constantly evolving with breaking a lot of old code.
Many popular packages like data.table rarely break after years of version upgrades. But relying on that in any kind of programming language is asking for trouble...
We're using renv since about a year at our workplace and haven't had any major issues occur. Maybe try packrat? Or try conda with R. Otherwise using docker should eliminate most reproducibility issues
Breaking changes in packages is not exclusive to R, you’re right. But dependency issues kinda is?
Let’s say two competent analysts wrote some code 5 years ago and you need to reproduce it today, one in R and the other in Python. The Python code probably includes a `pip freeze` or some equivalent, but the author of the R code had no equivalent. There’s no good agreed upon solution. And I don’t think I could reasonably fault that R analyst.
Packrat seems to be falling out of favor, I should read more about conda with R.
(The way I’d solve this problem in R is with an MRAN snapshot from 5 years back in a Docker image, but that’s basically accepting I won’t be able to integrate it with more recently written R)
