as much as it's a strawman used by the right there actually are a handful of "sjws" out there intentionally looking to get offended at every single thing but they do it to try to go viral for the attention not because they think they're fighting oppression

no, it's completely fine to leave chicken in your fridge uncovered to dry out for crispy skin. it's fine to dry brine your chicken. it's actually not recommended to "wash" your chicken before cooking because that doesn't do anything but spread a bunch of germs around your kitchen and using salt is seasoning if you're not somebody that cooks once a year by using their cupboard of ground up spices from the 70s

none of those people know what they're talking about

washing meat can change the flavor a bit

A healthcare startup is trying to lure me away from my current position. They asked me in an interview how I would go about figuring out how many eggs would fit in a Honda Accord. My answer was "why would you ask me to waste my time doing that at a healthcare company?"

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

what was their reaction? the last time I had a question like that was for an entry level sales position for Schneider electric. “how would you estimate the depth of the deepest point in the ocean?” motherfucker I’d look it up

they then lectured me on giving creative improvisational answers, said the best answer they ever received was “well it’s probably as deep as Everest is tall” which made me want to ask why the gently caress this is relevant to electrical design but as a 23 yo weenie I just shrugged

I said "time's money, I'd ask you why you're asking me to waste my time on a question like that and how it helps us to achieve our goals." Interviewer said I nailed it. Who knows.

so some months back a professional chef did a whole spiel about "seasoning" and what constitutes as such. she's back with a chicken recipe and wouldn't you know it, she's become an icon for twitter white supremacists

i havent seen any of the recipe but if shes just salting and peppering a chicken before roasting it, thats fine. to get a good skin on a roast chicken i usually do 450+, and 450 at an hour is just going to burn any spices you put on the skin.

back in the heyday of this nonsense i recall someone being asked something about how they would move an actual mountain, and after talking about excavating, blasting, and convoys of trucks, the interviewer cut them off and said they were looking for a 'creative' answer along the lines of using a helicopter

"you would need a helicopter the size of texas. that's a really stupid answer"

i don't think they got the job

the great myth of the modern workplace is that creativity and innovation are the most important things when being able to execute basic tasks with any degree of quality is the biggest challenge

Curious why this is a good answer. It’s off by about 10k feet so idk is that good?

I like brain teasers I’d rather talk about that than whatever other bullshit gets asked in interviews. Once I had to “design a toaster for a blind person” and everything I came up with was wrong. Idk if blind people need special toasters

I guess because if plate tectonics can make mountains they can also make deep underwater valleys? So the tallest mountain should be as tall as the deepest trench

it's a chimichurri recipe which is by definition an uncooked sauce for roasted or grilled meat. from the comments it sounds like she just put salt on the chicken before roasting it, which is 100% the correct thing to do because yes spices and herbs would get burned. i guess people are mad that she didn't ruin the chimichurri by burning it in the oven with the chicken

speaking of magical thinking, the uk is probably about to lose all secure messaging because the government has decided there's a way for only the good guys to read encrypted messages and no amount of evidence is going to convince them otherwise

quote:

The government is seeking to update the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) 2016.

It wants messaging services to clear security features with the Home Office before releasing them to customers. The act lets the Home Office demand security features are disabled, without telling the public. Under the update, this would have to be immediate. Currently, there has to be a review, there can also be an independent oversight process and a technology company can appeal before taking any action. Because of the secrecy surrounding these demands, little is known about how many have been issued and whether they have been complied with. But many messaging services currently offer end-to-end encryption - so messages can be unscrambled by only the devices sending and receiving them.

WhatsApp and Signal are among the platforms to have opposed a clause in the Online Safety Bill allowing the communications regulator to require companies to install technology to scan for child-abuse material in encrypted messaging apps and other services. They will not comply with it, they say, with Signal threatening to "walk" from the UK. Apple has also opposed the plan. The government has opened an eight-week consultation on the proposed amendments to the IPA., which already enables the storage of internet browsing records for 12 months and authorises the bulk collection of personal data.
of course if this goes through the end result will be criminals [who have an incentive] have secure messaging and literally everyone else doesn't

yep anyone that needs secured messaging will just use some foreign app (not like many popular ones are developed in the uk anyway). regular users lose out, as usual

i had someone pull that dumb brain teaser interview poo poo, asking me a what i would do if i was shrunk down to an inch tall and put inside a blender. the answer was some dumb poo poo to do with muscle fibers remaining just as powerful as they were when you are larger (not mentioned in the prompt) and concluding that you would be proportionally stronger and just be able to jump out of the blender. i remember hearing the solution and saying “ok i guess , sure” or something equally noncommittal.

it was a good way to warn me not to work there.

if i ever get one of those questions i would completely ignore it and instead give a detailed explanation of how i needed to replace the overflow nipple on my BMW's radiator, which was plastic and molded into the end tank, so i drilled out the broken part to just the right diameter, cut slits in a 1/4" NPT fitting to turn it into a tap, then after i threaded the hole i carefully maneuvered a nut and washer inside the radiator using a sticky-tack loaded coathanger and ran another fitting in with a healty dollop of JB Weld to make everything pressure tight.
