  • My folks have a sign on the door saying, "potato available upon request" and they run out of them every year.

  • I'd also be willing to bet it's actually really great sauce.

  • Look at this guy who doesn't buy merch...

  • I feel much better about shark marketing, or sharketing, if you will.

  • That really would have been delicious.

  • Why do these things always need to be apps when they would work just as well as a webpage?

  • I like to bite off just a little of the top and bottom of the sandwich cookie to aid in airflow/flooding, since the baked finish is sometimes nearly air tight.

  • What policy choices? He should have had his weapons confiscated after his recent issues under Maine's yellow flag laws, but the police did nothing once again.

  • It's not like we've tried nothing; he should have been dealt with when he made threats, but the police don't want to act on the laws we have in place. They want to wait until a tragedy happens so they can feel like they're being heroes, apparently.

  • And for good reason. A single unbelted person in the car is a serious threat to everyone else in an accident. You could end up paying for it with your life if you let it slide. I think the statistic is something like a 20% increased risk of death in an accident when a single passenger is unbuckled.

    And I hate that "aren't you a good driver" idiocy. Sure, but aren't all those other drivers on the road the worst?

  • Turned out he was going to his auto dealership to get his own car back from the shop.

  • Yeah, I'm really hoping they go ahead with it for that reason.

  • I'm surprised I haven't heard that as an explanation for the anti-wfh people yet. That's a good one.

  • That mostly has to do with your cookware. I've got an older electric unit with really distinct power cycling like you say and it's only a problem with cheaper aluminum pans. My good laminated steel pans and cast iron are perfectly consistent because they have a lot of thermal mass so they retain the heat and even out the power cycles into a nice average temperature.

  • Are we Reddit now?

    Always have been.

    And as others may have said, induction stoves hold perfect temperature, but also require you to use more substantial steel pots and pans to begin with. As such, they won't suffer from poor temperature modulation like older resistive electric stoves with cheap aluminum pans would.

  • SteamOS if you want to give Linux gaming a try. Valve have been putting some real work into it thanks to the success of Deck.

  • Oh, I've somehow never seen anyone express that 7zip is FOSS; I didn't realize that. This should be the first thing anyone points out about it.

  • Windows' built in unzipping tool has really messed up my system before by uncompressing files wrong in subtle ways. I'll always prefer to use a program made by a third party whose livelihood depends on the quality of their software over some value-add baked in junk.
