Re: Slow cooker

This is me being a dumb baby about how much power I use but what do you think uses less power. A slow cooker or a dutch oven.

I don't know how dad this is but gently caress it, this paper just came to my attention

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2420600
Abstract:
We show that some customers systematically purchase new products that flop. Their early adoption of a new product is a strong signal that a product will fail - the more they buy, the less likely the product will succeed. These customers, whom we call ‘Harbingers’ [of failure], prefer products that other customers do not want. More broadly, we document that distinguishing among the types of customers who adopt a new product can be predictive of whether a new product will succeed or fail. We discuss how these insights can be readily incorporated into the new product development process. Our findings challenge the conventional wisdom that positive customer feedback is always a signal of future success. The possibility that firms are encouraged by Harbingers’ purchases during pilot market tests may help to explain the high failure rate for new products.

Turn off smart TV poo poo asap. The ad industry has software that will actively listen to your conversations. We use keywords to trigger ads and track what you're watching and for how long.

This all exists on your phone too but good luck disabling that.

I read an article recently- maybe it was posted itt, I can't recall; that the whole diamonds are forever buy that lady a rock is a 100 year old Anglo-American marketing ploy that literally created the industry. Maybe it was in the New Yorker.

yah the diamond campaign is one of the things marketers look up to, that and cigarettes, since how effective they are. Then maybe apple for more hype than product at a high price.

Diamonds are dirt cheap, pretty much can not be resold, and are an idea implanted into children that you need to give to loved ones despite not being rare.

Also our poo poo diamonds in the US end up on machining tools quite often. The discolored ones go to other countries since some countries prefer yellow or blue diamonds.

For a real answer, I don't know if they make it for home use or who would apply it but..

There is a clear window film product made by, I believe 3M, called Air Blue or something to that effect used for windshields in cars. It's works great even in Florida with a black car. If they make it for home use, I recommend it.

I saw some products by 3M for the house but the problem is that they are for lengths and widths that do not fit my windows.

I will probably have to go with another brand if I can't find the right dimensions.
