  • I’m old so maybe not relevant, but I think all those dating apps are stupid.

    One, the dating app provider doesn’t want you to find a match because you’d stop using the app, they want endless engagent.

    Two, I hear my younger coworkers and youth say they couldn’t find a match, because none of them were good looking enough. So all the suggestions they ignored based on a picture. This really isn’t how you find a good life partner, this skips interaction and personality connections that you get in live encounters.

    Try dried fried onions. They always have them at Indian Grocery stores, or dutch shops.

    You can skip whole steps in recipes of browning, caramelizing onions for sauces , stews, etc just dump a few tablespoonsfulls in. Also makes excellent brown gravy base with some soysauce and Marmite.







  • I live in an area of high Indian immigration. They typically have multi generational homes. They are often larger homes, since everyone can contribute to the mortgage.

    But the main thing that stands out is the children always have family around, sometimes cousins live in the same house too. Isolation doesn’t seem to be an issue. There’s always support and task sharing, so parents aren’t burnt out at end of day struggling to parent.

    Out of 1000s of homeless people I see in Vancouver, they are mostly white or indigenous, rare to see an Indian homeless person here.

    And then there is the huge community they have, besises church/temple meeting, but meeting in parks daily.

    I think we lost a lot of community and circles of support when we adopted the isolation type lifestyle of “modern” life.


  • They remind me of a uni project a guy was doing in 2010. Machine and human readable cubes to allow a machine vision and computer to read communication lines from a human.

    You’d place the cubes in a row to spell out a sentence of instruction. And the camera capture would send to be deciphered.

    At the time I couldn’t comprehend how this was useful, but maybe specific graphics were easier for the machine vision to recognize then actual words.

    He tried explaining it to me, but after a few times I said something like “I’m either dumb as a brick and can’t get this or you have gone off the derpend.”
