I’m surprised they left Epstein-bay open after seizing Epstein Island

Fry/griddle with a little butter like a grilled cheese if you’re craving something warm. Just don’t over load it with the peanut butter cause it’ll sploosh out on the first bite

- Comment on How come manufacturers use base 10 units when calculating the space of a hard drive? Giving you 931GB per TB Hard Drive. Why not advertise the number windows reads? 3 weeks ago:
I’m genuinely surprised that manufacturers use bytes instead of bits, the numbers could be 8x higher

You might check to make sure the hoses are connected to the right taps.
Some washers also only mix hot and cold water for the “hot” cycle to save energy

Yep. 3040 is somewhere ram but 5070 has upgradable sodimm

Yep. I was just looking at a (dell) wyse 3040 and wyse 5070.

Enterprise thin clients are cheaper and faster, though they use more power with x86/64 cpus

That’s a fair point, I was thinking of the mozzarella in oil or other liquid which probably makes it less rigid
- Comment on Sacre blu 1 month ago:
Yellow is most likely cheddar, and white is either Monterey Jack or mozzarella, but doesn’t look flopsy enough to be mozzarella

It’s pronounced legitimate salvage
- Comment on I want to make a seafood boil but don't want to boil all the flavour away in a vat of water, would it turn out alright if I simmered it all in a bit of butter and old bay, spoon basting often. 2 months ago:
If you’re not planning to eat the resultant broth, you may as well go sous vide; then there’s no flavor dilution.
- Comment on Life is hard 2 months ago:
Wouldn’t it be more efficient to pass the cold dry air back over the hot side heat exchanger to increase its moisture caring capacity before blowing it at the glass?
You know like a dehumidifier?

But it does the same at simmer, as the water temp is basically the same. Boiling reduces the total account of water faster than simmer concentrating the flavor.
Just in case you’re not aware, water boiling and simmering is at the same temp 212f/100c. The difference is how quickly the water evaporates. Just like ice water stays at the freezing point until all the ice is melted

If you’re boiling it’s reducing the water content and concentrating the flavor.

I’m guessing the difference is the threshold height for the doors. Easier to get a wheelchair over a low or non-existent threshold

Yeah 1700 barges would be 90gw more than enough
- Comment on US hires over 2,000 video gamers as air traffic controllers 2 months ago:
US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy reported on Sunday, Aug. 9, that 94% of the hiring goal has been met, with the most ever employed in a single year.
He wrote in a social media post: “2,000+ “best & brightest” candidates in the pipeline — reaching the Academy quicker than any class before them, thanks to the most streamlined hiring process.”
In April, it was stated that there were almost 11,000 controllers in service, with more than 4,000 trainees in the pipeline.
The pipeline is the 1-3 years of training it takes before they’re certified to be air traffic controllers.
- Comment on Is there a reason why toilets are made out of one of the most resonating materials possible while also being made in a shape that makes a small fart sound like a damn trombone? 3 months ago:
Not uncommon to find available to buy just uncommon that they are actually bought/installed. The retrofit options are vastly cheaper and mean you don’t have to replace a functioning toilet.
They also make stand alone bidets which would sit next to a toilet, but they’re even less common due to space constraints.
- Comment on This bookstore wraps all books in plastic. 3 months ago:
But what if we refined that oil into plastic and used that to cover the books instead? That way people wouldn’t get oily fingers from reading.
