Oh, yeah, the voice is a big part of it. "Everything is possible with zombocom."

Seriously. This is exactly what people object to about Windows Recall. In its re-released version at least it's opt-in for now, but it's still eerily close to this.
So, in defense of this, the corned beef in question usually has a pretty complex seasoning profile. It'll have a big packet with peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, dill, mustard seed, coriander, and a few other things. (Sometimes mace or nutmeg? It varies with the seller.) The "corned" in the name comes from all the spices (it's "corn" like in peppercorn). And at the table it's often also served with mustard or Worcestershire sauce, which brings a whole additional suite of spices, as well as pickled beets. So it's not as flavorless as that description makes it sound. But it's true that the corned beef does contribute a salty, savory note, especially to the cabbage.
It is legitimately a very mild, comfort food kind of dish. Vindaloo this isn't. And we like that too! This just fits a different kind of mood.
I guess I just think it's hilarious how much of an anti-advertisement the name is. Like, it's so emphatically not going to appear on the menu of any fancy gastropub. Caramelized pear and arugula flatbread with candied walnuts and gorgonzola? Nope. Boiled dinner. Deal with it.
My brother-in-law considers it frankly offensive that there's an actual thing called "New England boiled dinner." My sister and I love it, but he can't get past the name.
It turns out the real inefficiencies were the friends we made along the way.
They're not saying that slow growth is definitely evidence it's exponential. They're saying that slow growth doesn't prove that it isn't exponential, which seemed to be what you were saying.
It's always hard to identify exponential growth in its early stages.
This exactly. "Do you think free will exists" could, in fact, be small talk, if neither of you is particularly interested in the topic.
I think he's literally talking about making a credit that's contingent on a certain IQ test score, or something along those lines. He seems to be a straight-up, unabashed eugenicist.
You can use that kind of HP cartridge and also modify it to take ink from a reservoir. It's perfectly possible to buy ink suitable for an inkjet printer in bulk for much cheaper than HP will sell it to you, and that kind of reservoir mod will let you use the print head built in to the HP cartridge.
It could also just be cold reading. People who haven't been exposed to that can find it eerily accurate, even though it's just a combination of random guessing with reinforcing the guesses that got reactions. It's the kind of thing that both parties could participate in without either being explicitly familiar with the technique.
