If I understand statistics, this means we can fight global warming by simply ramping up piracy!

Hahaha cursed autocorrect

My wife forbids me from getting any large appliances for any 1 thing, so I could never convince her to get a ride cooker. Instead we got an InstaPot that we use exclusively to cook rice. It's way different (trust me)

I disagree. I think you want to keep a small MOI because that allows you to control a tipping carton with the least amount of torque. At least that's how I've been justifying by method of taking from the outsides, in.

It's much harder to control a stick with weights in the ends, ESPECIALLY if the weights are unbalanced (which they will be unless you're only using even numbers of eggs. )

1. We should hang out at parties.
2. None of this matters in my real life because my wife is a chaos goblin who just grabs eggs from WHEREVER she pleases, almost like she's not even considering the mass moment of inertia at all!

I'm essence, yeah. I had nothing but nice things to say about the current company I was working for. Liked my job, like the company, boss, etc. Whenthe interviewers asked why I was leaving I told them that it was a small, family owned business (not my family). I loved working there but I'm only making about half the market value for my degree. The current boss told me from the start that he wouldn't be able to pay what I'm worth, but asked that I learn what I could there, then let them know when I'm going to move on. I relayed all that to my interviewers and they loved it. Later they cited that answer as one of the reasons they hired me.

I don't want to haggle those things either!

To be fair, I did have a baby in 2020 and it felt like every other week they sent an extra check for having a baby. 10/10 would recommend.

I use immich but if there are 100 people in this room, at least 99 of them know more than me so definitely don't weigh my words too heavily.

For me, it's family. Even within the US I know there are a lot of better places to live with more to do, more walkable neighborhoods, etc. But my wife and I both have our parents here, and we both have 2 siblings and there are 9 cousins (our generation's kids) and I love watching them grow up together. As much as I disagree with the politics locally and Nationally, I also love that I don't have to raise my kids on an island. So it's either stay here, or join a cult somewhere.

When I go for a bowl of cereal, I pour out as much cereal as I want, then add the appropriate amount of milk. I would NEVER pour myself a hearty bowl of milk and then just cereal to taste. That's the part that feels craziest to me.

I'm engaged in a 10 year battle against chafing. I finally found shorts I like, but they were manufactured in partnership with my local running store, and they couldn't justify keeping the program going.

Then I switched to Asics 2 in 1 with built in boxer-briefs. I thought they were perfect but I swear the last 2 pairs I had lasted less than 5 runs before a hole opened up and allowed chafing.

Now I've been running in LuLuLemon shorts that are a tad smaller than I'd prefer, but they've been completely chafe free and seem to be holding up structurally.

For me, the flies in the eyes are just as bad, if not worse, than the flies in my lungs.

The opposite hurts too. Last week I only got myself a little pizza, expecting to clean up at least 1/2 a slice from each of my 2 kids. They spited me and they devoured their pizza with a focus and drive Is never seen from them before.

As I understand it, something like that happened with the game, Alliance. It was a RTS where humans had to control all the units that the commander build and ordered around.

I learned about this, probably 15 years ago, and I never played, so a lot of this might be outdated or just plain wrong.

I think Microsoft published the game, and eventually abandoned it. It still had a thriving mod community but they were struggling due to the lack of source code and support. Apparently, years after working on the game, one of the designers happened across an Internet forum talking about the struggles they were having. The designer then went back to his bosses and said, "We abandoned this years ago, can I just give them the source code?" I guess they did and since then the mod started making HUGE fundamental changes to the game.

For me, I saw very little benefit to RSS until I hosted fulltextrss. Most of the feeds I subscribed to, the RSS feed just gave you the headline, and made you load up the full website and all the ads to read the article. They don't really want you just skimming the good stuff and skipping the ads.

Fulltextrss basically loads in the full articles, pictures and all (if you so choose). It means I can read stories from all the sources I want, without really leaving my RSS reader.

But remember when we found out CFC's were damaging the ozone layer? Somehow scientists convinced everybody to switch to more expensive, less effective refrigerants, and then it all got better. Gosh, we didn't know how good we had it back then.

Maybe they're using a similar system to O2 sensors in SCUBA rebreathers. 3 identical sensors measure the same thing. When one sensor drifts, the computer uses the value from the 2 concurring sensors, and throws an error to let you know something is wrong.

That system is life-critical, so these beans must be about the same importance.

Extra, the green mint is my favorite but every once in a while I'll pick a different color. To me, extra is the only gum where the flavor lasts longer enough to be worthwhile.

That's interesting. I never would've guessed that those aren't taxed the same as games in a casino. Does that also mean that within a casino, something like video poker is taxed differently than slot machines?

Please wait. Before the suffix -gate goes away for good I want a fence-related scandal that we can call gate-gate. Then it can be retired.
