If you have to ask, probably don’t use it.

Anytime we ask questions about poor people doing things to make a buck, you probably won’t find me talking negatively or blaming the people with few to no options.

I’ve been in a financial situation where selling my blood plasma was an easy, safe, guaranteed amount of money that kept me from getting deeper into the hole. I’m not going to knock anyone who does it, only the shitty social services that fail people to the point they have to sell their plasma to survive.

This is what I would choose, standalone rather than something that attaches to the laptop and folds out.

Attaching, hanging off the side, potential to be bumped, all the weight hanging out cheap laptop hinges. It seems like high risk of things getting loose and damaged, both the extra monitor and the base laptop.

You mean I could get paid to be told what my favorite artist is? Little ol’ indecisive me? Sold!

What do the videos look like on her phone?

If they’re shit there, it’s the phone (or the operator). If they look good there and change to shit when they get to your phone, it’s something in that process. Perhaps set to send a low res version by default.

My youngest sister has never watched Sixth Sense so that’s the plan the next time one of us visits the other.

I suspect even though she doesn’t know the twist, it has invaded pop culture references and memes enough that she will figure it out early on in the movie. I remember even just knowing there was A Twist^TM was enough for me to spot what was coming much earlier on than the reveal. Really looking forward to seeing what she thinks of the movie from her Gen Z perspective.

Yeah, I would call that a “killer of the week” format. There is a new crime/murder every week. Sometimes there is a season-long story as well (Natasha Lyonne’s character running away from the Vegas baddies) and sometimes it’s just the killer of the week story. Murder, She Wrote is a good example of the latter; you can watch MSW episodes in pretty much any order, it doesn’t matter because each episode is basically self-contained. Any story external to the killer of the week is just to service actors being replaced or setting Jessica Fletcher in different locations beyond her hometown so she can face a new killer of the week. MSW is a whodunnit and also a killer-of-the-week show.

It’s been a while for me and I never did watch all of them, but no, I think Sherlock is a whodunnit, heavy on the drama, plus the twist of some narration from Watson’s blog.

The first episode opens with several people seemingly taking a pill to commit suicide. But someone is making them do it somehow. We don’t know who, we don’t know why. Who did it? Whodunnit genre.

Where if it were a Howcatchem genre, the identity of the baddie is revealed up front and the episode is about how the detective figures it out and nails them. How did the detective catch them? Howcatchem.

Monk, if you ever saw that one, would sometimes do whodunnit episodes and sometimes howcatchem episodes.

The subgenre Columbo falls under is a “howcatchem” or an inverted detective story, as opposed to the more typical “whodunnit”.

Just in case OP likes that setup and wants to keyword search for more. One I like and has a second season in works is Poker Face starring Natasha Lyonne.

I’m not entirely sold on the argument I lay out here, but this is where I would start were I to defend using chatGPT in school as they laid out in their experiment.

It’s a tool. Just like a calculator. If a kid learns and does all their homework with a calculator, then suddenly it’s taken away for a test, of course they will do poorly. Contrary to what we were warned about as kids though, each of us does carry a calculator around in our pocket at nearly all times.

We’re not far off from having an AI assistant with us 24/7 is feasible. Why not teach kids to use the tools they will have in their pocket for the rest of their lives?

I don’t claim expertise, but after living in four different coastal areas of three different bodies of water, I’ve not heard one. It’s always just “6 hours to high tide” or something like that, they want to know time to high/low point so people can plan accordingly.

Nope, I work in STEM but not IT nor software.

I’m a serial hobbyist and actively pursue projects outside the scope of my job and education background.

Yes, mostly learned through endurance sports and multi-day backpacking trips that make it easier to sense during normal activity days. Hunger for sugars and salts is very different from hunger for protein.

I also know bodies are dirty liars. No amount of craving means my body needs another ice cream sandwich.

I guess that’s basic grade school Health class stuff where I’m from and I don’t consider it “first aid training”. So I expect someone to have paid attention in school when they talked about life critical things? Radio, internet, school, TV, so many things blast FAST at the public.

Which still falls under “not a reckless dumbass and not an asshole”.

I don’t know how to answer “exotic”. “Exotic” can easily slip into xenophobic territory.

Maybe I answer with a restaurant from a specific culture that I had never been exposed to before? In which case, Himalayan/Tibetan/Nepalese. I could eat momos every day. But I say that about every savory-wrapped-in-dough thing. Dumplings, empanadas, bierocks, meat pies, xian bing, piroshki, is there a culture that doesn’t have some variation of that? And it’s always good. If ever there is need for a flag to represent Humanity, it should be of a savory pie.

Well, I would certainly expect any adult human, not just one I’m in a relationship with, to call for medical aid if they see someone having a stroke. That’s basically what first aid for a stroke is; get medical help. I don’t think that requires any special training, just not being an asshole.

So expanding upon relationship expectations then: don’t be a reckless dumbass and don’t be an asshole.

Do you do breathing stuff?

Lately I’ve been digging bee breath, or bhramari pranayama. Basically, just hum/buzz on slow exhales. Sometimes other breathing techniques, like box breathing, leave my mind too open to wild thoughts and distractions getting in. Bee breath is just enough extra for me to focus on so I can keep the other thoughts at bay. Playing around with different pitches and buzziness is kinda fun too.

Eh, I can think of some context dependencies. I don’t have a blanket expectation for first aid knowledge.

For example, I like backpacking. I go on several multi-day trips per year. I don’t necessarily need a partner to like backpacking too; I’m fine enjoying my hobby myself or with friends. But if they do like backpacking and haven’t done the work of learning an appropriate level of first aid, I will absolutely judge them negatively. People should not go wandering into the backcountry, away from people and cell service, with absolutely no idea how to take care of themselves.

Someone who never has a need to get far from medical experts? Much more understandable to me if they don’t prioritize learning first aid.

Basically, don’t be a reckless dumbass.

I would expect a control then, a group that is asked the question without the gendered piece. But that can’t be done here on this Lemmy community now because we’ve already seen the gendered versions of the question.

Not like Lemmy is the place to do this sort of thing anyway. In addition to very limited population size, expect a higher rate of STEM folks compared to general population, meaning a higher rate of people who have had a 101 class level on statistics or better. Combined with sarcastic internet commenters. It all means unsubtle manipulations like this gendered question are going to fall flat.
