That was once in 2006. Taco Bell has been pretty strict about internal auditing for health concerns for ages and was the first who gets their lettuce from their supplier whom a lot of other restaurants use and haven't done anything yet. I used to work at one back close to the 2006 outbreak, and since then we've seen more McDonald's outbreaks and I'm not surprised at all.
Asexuality by default is the absence of physical attraction, but hormones pay a part in many other functions in the body.
Also, because of the culture I'm in unwillingly (thanks puritans who founded this country), it feels really weird to have urges, but never want to have sex in any way.
I believe a person without urges is refered to as alibidoist.
This comment is less for you, and possibly for others like me who misinterpretted the words growing up and think they are somehow different enough to be alone when there are people with all sorts of experiences all over the spectrum.
And godless machine learning engineers like myself. I think you assume I think humans and only humans are intelligent. I am not convinced humans are conscious. There have been many cases where that simply isn't true or obvious.
Cleaner Wrasse are conscious according to the mirror test. No one would call those fish intelligent. They are smart enough, but they are only self-conscious enough to recognize themselves in a reflection to help remove parasites.
Nothing in the Turing Test proves intelligence. Sounding human is so easy, a chat bot that pretends to be a scared little boy was the first to complete it, way back in 2014. Assuming that fooling a human is hard is even less convincing.
Garlic bread is an old ace meme. Where the community generally agreed garlic bread is better than sex. (And my non-ace partner would probably agree but that's besides the point.)
Not all psychiatrists or therapists are equipped to deal with all problems and all people. Mental health is hard and everyone is different. I hope you can make some progress on this, and I'm sorry things have been hard to discuss. I agree that talking about these things should be less taboo. It certainly would have helped me figure out some things.
I like the memes route, but it may take a while to break the shell it sounds like he's built. The real answer is probably to get a proper second opinion from someone who deals with sexual health, or maybe a couples counseling to discuss "sexual incompatibility" so as to not put the blame on him. But that may be too forward right now.
Just remember, unlike what society has kinda taught us, sexual drive is a complex thing and sexual health looks different for everyone, so conversations are important even though we aren't supposed to have them supposedly... Thanks society!
The bigger problem is the lack of communication on the subject leading to these kinda puritanical "sexual desire is bad and makes you do bad things" take that made Kellogg try to kill libido with corn flakes.
I think people need to discuss sexuality in non sexual contexts more often. It needs to be considered less taboo and less explicit when specifically discussing sexual health, which is actually important to discuss. I'm largely asexual, and honest conversations earlier in my life would have helped a lot, because I never understood a lot of the things you point out in media. I know just how much my view differs thanks to conversations with someone with diagnosed hypersexuality whom I think of as a close friend.
The best uses I've seen are blind person aides. Scene understanding and OCR for disability aides. The OCR doesn't have to be LLMs, but a system that combines the two effectively is useful.
There is merit to sitting an LLM in front of an expert system to act as an intermediate, but the LLM shouldn't be doing any "thinking." It should only translate results.
Coolest thing is hard... I'm a bit of a nerd, but let's go from a few angles.
As a kid I had made and recreated a number of games on my TI-83+ and did some fun optimization challenges to get as much in the pure BASIC code as possible. I was working in an ARG into it. But all that code is lost because I didn't know how to back up that stuff back then. (And I was a bit lazy even when I knew I should.)
I'm proud of how fun my Football mod for Binding of Isaac is. It's just an item that give Isaac randomly bouncing projectiles, like how a football kind of sporadically bounces in real life. I meant to release a challenge where you get ipecac and football to start, and all explosion immunities are removed from the pool. With a short goal since I think that's enough chaos.
But probably from a different angle PySpeedup and DriveLink are libraries I designed to improve code as invisibly to the end user as possible because I got tired of taking PhD coders' code and making it actually work because they don't understand swap space or scheduling. (I've worked with brilliant algorithms at times, but had to correct critical misunderstandings of the computer at times.) I haven't touched the libraries in years, but a lot of time and research went into it, and there was a full test suite and documentation. I don't think the idea is fully without merit yet as the multiprocessing in Python is better but still has oddities, and I don't think there's an RAM aware abstraction in the base language yet? I forget what state I left things in. I know the CI I was using doesn't exist (for free users) anymore though.
Not really. I physically don't have the energy. Can't speak for the person above, but most of the time, I just can't interact here without having to take a break. Like. Lay down and close my eyes break. (I'm okay now, if you couldn't tell.)
To others, I'm chronically ill, but not being able to interact here doesn't make you less valid. Lurking is fine too. This post is a call to arms but if you can't answer it don't. Your health comes first.
Upvoting and downvoting is appreciated if you have the energy for that, but don't feel pressured.
It looks like the recipe for the gold creating substance Draught of Midas is somewhat simple but unstable in this seed.
::: spoiler Tap for details on the seed's hidden alchemy recipe
It's supposedly water, grass, and toxic sludge to make the precusor. Any precusor will turn into Midas when meat is added to it.
I imagine that spot you found the gold appearing was were you killed a toxic slime and it bled on to grass that was touching water. Once Draught of Midas is created, it can transform an infinite amount of material to gold with as little as a drop.
Since water turns toxic sludge into water, the recipe won't easily produce a lot of it, but any amount is enough to use. Water also dilutes draught of Midas, causing its reaction to happen less.

It's not incredibly rare, but rare enough to not see it often without looking up the alchemy recipe.
"Don't tell me what I can't do" is Locke's catchline. "You All Everybody" is the song that Pippin (whatever his name is in Lost, I don't know) sings with his band. (Whose lyrical inspiration was from someone shouting word salad at the cast of Lost before shooting started and was ad libbed when Pippin was trying to get Jack to recognize him as the lead singer.)
Maybe I remember more than I thought.
Also. I think not pressing the numbers caused a (apparently reversible) meltdown that resulted in a huge magnetic field like the one that pulled down the plane. Or something like that.
The "official" answer I keep hearing is they're only actually dead in the last episode, which makes everything about it cheap and tacky, so I reject that.
But there's an alternate timeline shown where they never were on the island as well, iirc. And it's all just weird. You can't be internally inconsistent if there's never any established consistency.
I enjoyed it like watching a train wreck in slow motion and getting to discuss it with people as it developed. But it clearly didn't have enough of an impact on me to remember anything worth remembering except "Don't tell me what I can't do" and "You all everybody."

When we try to solve any of them, they literally send the military at us. Which is federally illegal, but you know, rules for us, not for them.

Apparently sour food helps.
One licensed therapist had already done this: https://youtu.be/wzxyAlS577w
I'd be interested in seeing other takes.
Nevermind, it does sound like you work in software. This is a very familiar quote. x.x And it always comes right before planning slows to a crawl.
You don't with in software do you? The software guy always gets blamed anyway.

Never got into GoT but I getcha.
Oh right.
It's only the netherworld after they get back to the island or something. IDK and IDC honestly. I never liked the afterlife author theory.
And yeah.
