    Slow cookers are terrible. The long drawn out cooking process destroys the texture and taste of food and turns everything into a homogeneous slop. So much time and energy usage for such mediocre payoff. And fundamentally not different to just baking stuff in an oven for a long time.

    The real tip is to get a pressure cooker instead. Almost every slow cooker recipe can be easily adapted to a pressure cooker, for a significant savings in time, energy, and improvement in taste and texture. Even if you get anxious about pressure cookers, most pressure cookers have a slow cook function as well.



  • As suspected, this paper is based upon Paul Ekman’s Facial Action Coding System, better known as micro-expressions.

    This controversial literature borderlines on pseudo-science, with Ekman’s work having significant conflicts of interest in the form of undisclosed funding from US defence, police, and border control, who wanted Ekman to create systems that can detect lies based on supposed micro expressions. Subsequent independent meta analyses have found that micro expressions cannot be consistently read, even by Ekman’s own researchers.

    Unfortunately, despite this, world governments have poured millions of dollars into private contractors to develop AI systems based on this flawed research for border control.

    Munecat’s video essay on debunking body language experts goes into much greater detail:

  • I think this is being overly judgemental. He originally created his reputation by going to war against Pantone, a company which holds a near monopoly on colours. At first it was patches to get Adobe to use colours it locked users out of, which he then expanded into Freetone, a colour palette that is free for anyone except Adobe.

    Looking at his other behaviour (such as legally changing his name to Amish Kapoor to piss off Anish Kapoor who sued him for colour infringement) suggests that he’s messy, rather than a grifter.

  • South Korea is infamous for very high cost of living, especially considering the very low salaries.

    You can check numbeo for more specific comparisons, but Seoul and Busan are only 20% and 30% cheaper in terms of cost of living compared to Atlanta GA, respectively. Not nearly enough to make up the salary difference.

    The fact there there are migrant workers already tells you the situation. People’s behaviour generally follow economic incentives. There’s a reason why South Korea is struggling with emigration.
