Question: What is it about spiders that you think generates that ick factor in people?

The mess of webs they leave behind and how you constantly have to pay attention to every surface you put weight on lest you end up with a splotch of spider guts to clean up.

What do you typically use your mayo for? I'm curious because all the stuff you add to your mayo is stuff that I would normally have in whatever dish is using the mayo, so I'm wondering if it actually makes a difference to have it blended in the sauce versus separate.

A better comparison would be if the human in question was a random dude you pulled off the streets. If this was a cow that I grew up with and shared a bond with, then yeah, I'd obviously pick the cow over some dude I don't know. If it's a childhood friend versus a random cow I don't know? Same thing but in reverse.

You want the url to look less suspicious, not more.

I've had the opposite experience. The older the pasta, the longer it takes to cook. If it cooks faster, that suggests to me that it has absorbed water during storage, which allows harmful bacteria to grow and the pasta might actually be expired.

Same. That's when everyone else goes to sleep and actually leaves you time to focus on your work.

Being a millionaire is easily doable now on a regular 9-5 job if you're paid fairly. In my city at least, I can tell you that a software dev can reach millionaire status within about 20 years of work. No fraud needed unless you count ETF investments or software dev as fraud.

I bake quite a bit and I don't do my mise-en-place either when it comes to baking, but that's not a problem. The way recipes are formatted works well for my process as well. I read through the steps ahead of time if it's a recipe I am unfamiliar with, then I'll just have the ingredients list open while I'm doing the prep. The things I make are pretty basic (cookies, cakes, muffin, etc) and the steps are all identical. Mix wet, mix dry, mix everything, bake.

I personally find that having less repeated information makes things easier and faster to read. The recipe says "add flour", you know that it's all the flour. If the recipe says "add flour (1 cup)", then I have to check back in the ingredients list to figure out if that's all the flour or only part of it. Then the more info you add to clarify, the harder it is to skim while you're cooking.

To the best of my knowledge, this information only exists in the prompt. The raw LLM has no idea what it is and the APIs serve the raw LLM.

It's not pointless. Depending on where you live, there's a good chance you do have an abundance of cheap housing available. They're just not in desirable locations, so many would opt to either pay extra for the privilege of living in more desirable homes or even living on the streets.

Regarding taxes, I'm talking about those who haven't previously paid taxes, are not currently paying taxes while living in the area, and have no plans to pay taxes after they leave the area.
