Not sure why it is a big deal for most things. I was a 2.7 die hard and was forced to move to 3.x a few years ago. Had to rewrite a bunch of crap at first but once it was done it’s been a lot better than I thought it was going to be at first.
Maybe I’ll stop getting those “He Gets Us” ads if I cruise the atheist subreddits.
I used to hate cilantro because I thought it tasted soapy. Then my kid was telling me about this “gene” one day and I said that I must have it. Then I asked them what they thought cilantro tasted like, and they told me it was onion-y like chives.
We were at a restaurant at the time and I was eating something with cilantro which is why it came up. So I took a bite and tried to see if I could taste what they meant by onion-y. And damned if I couldn’t make out that chive sort of flavor.
Since then, I can’t taste the soapiness, it just tastes good.
So I doubt it is actually a gene of any sort if you can reprogram your brain like I did to get the taste.
Everyday. You can put the baking soda on dry or mix it into a paste. Make sure you massage it into your scalp (not too hard). Then you rinse that out and put on a rinse of vinegar water. I comb my hair out at this point and then rinse out the vinegar then apply a little vitamin E oil after I towel dry it.
I stopped using shampoo years ago because I’m allergic to a lot of the stuff that goes in them. I use baking soda and apple cider vinegar (you rinse in between so you don’t make a volcano). My hair has always been brittle and frizzy, but now the texture is really nice.
And for the record, no my hair doesn’t stink. You can use vitamin E oil after with essential oils if you really want your hair to smell pretty.
I get that. My job is mostly writing Python scripts to keep an old Fortran based framework going, so I cringe when people get married into a language like this. I feel that all code should be adaptable and be able to absorb upgrades and changes. But I certainly understand. From my perspective if they were to rework my old Fortran code, it would take them at least a year or more to do it well. Most companies don’t want to spend that sort of effort.
