It’s an opium poppy (papaver somniferum). Not sure what the symbolism of that is, though.

Get the refund. You can try making your own fried rice to replicate it in the meantime!

I kind of missed the boat on it and only tried it a couple of times, but damn was it good…

Cool study and application for crow-treat exchanges. But the image is AI. That is some gibberish Swedish text.

Sorry I missed this earlier, I’m often browsing on other lemmy instances since I find world to be so slow. Thanks for sharing your experience though!

The training plan fell apart pretty hard for me not long after making this post. I’d been dealing with a bit of knee pain that just got worse and worse (and consequently I got slower and slower). Over the last three-ish weeks I reduced my mileage quite a bit, including one week of just 3 miles and lots of stretching. Thankfully my knee is better now and I don’t have much pain anymore. But I’m a bit hesitant to dive back into the advanced plan, and in particular the speed sessions.

I’m slowly getting back into the beginner plan but I’ll see how well I stick to it. I think at this point trying to keep up a relatively high but slow weekly mileage to maintain an aerobic base will be the way to go, but it will depend on pain. I might just have to suck up another mediocre marathon compared to my goal, and try again next time. I definitely won’t be rushing into such an advanced plan again without gradually increasing my weekly mileage more carefully.

Yeah I’m a little bit hesitant to change the plan on my own whims, especially as it’s my first time using a plan. Reading into it a bit more, compared to other plans it seems like Hansons really emphasizes the constant fatigue vs. hitting extremely high weekly mileage. So maybe I’ll try and stick with the prescribed taper plan, although I may skip or slow down one of the speed workouts in the last week depending on how I feel. I don’t want to mess it up and miss my “peak”.

Ideally eating properly and slowing down my easy runs will do the trick before then anyway. I’ve been sleeping 7-8 hours pretty consistently.

I can’t remember which episode it is, but there’s an episode of one of Anthony Bourdain’s shows where he visits a restaurant run by his friend.

This chef is serving a massive multi-course meal, something like 10+ courses, and knows that Bourdain is a heavy smoker. So at one point he brings out the next course and tells Bourdain something along the lines of “And this one is made with tobacco, so you won’t try and get up in the middle of my dinner and go smoke”.

I guess if the dose is low enough and the tobacco is mixed with the right foods, it could possibly make for an interesting flavour combination.

What kind of pills?

My thoughts too, I’m not seeing much of an Adam’s apple. I doubt you look like that just from avoiding the sun.

It’s British slang for a pedophile that stands for “Not on normal courtyard exercise”. Meaning if they are in prison, they are not sent to exercise with the others as they are at high risk of being beat up.

MPs are guaranteed a pension after spending 6 years in service as an elected MP.

He entered the parliament at age 25, ensuring him a pension since the age of 31. Although he still has to be 55 to actually start collecting it. Considering how long he has been an MP, he’s probably looking at pulling in at least 100K/yr from age 55 onward.

This is what baffles me about these papers. Assuming the authors are actually real people, these AI-generated mistakes in publications should be pretty easy to catch and edit.

It does make you wonder how many people are successfully putting AI-generated garbage out there if they’re careful enough to remove obviously AI-generated sentences.

Pareidolia is the tendency to see faces in random patterns. Our brains are just kind of wired to recognize facial patterns. It doesn’t mean you have schizophrenia, necessarily.

Not sure about BPA, but we’re closer to knowing what BPA does than what BPS does. We just replaced a somewhat studied plasticizer for an even less studied and understood one. Plasticizers never went away.

Canada has drug ads, but with special rules. You can either mention the drug name or its indication, but not both.

So you’ll get ads that say stuff like “Ozempic - ask your doctor if it’s right for you” with people happily eating in a coffeeshop. But they won’t tell you what Ozempic is supposed to do.

I first discovered Brother Ali coming down off a bunch of LSD, and that was some ear candy at the time. He’ll always have a special place in my musical heart.

The intro blurb to this recipe is written by AI, isn’t it?

Can we delete someone else’s post?

(Kidding OP, it looks really tasty but definitely not improved poutine)

This is not the OG :'( I remember that bathroom, a vaguely yellow tint…
