Isn’t that the kinda thing that got yuzu and ryujinx switch emulators in trouble (totk)
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 4 days ago:
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. 1 week 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 1 week 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.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 2 weeks ago:
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 4 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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. 5 weeks 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.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 5 weeks ago:
Please don’t doubt that their Bluetooth database links your Mac address to a wide variety of socioeconomic data gathered from thousands of third-party providers. They don’t need the cameras to know who’s black or rich or a 4 year old on an old Wi-Fi only iPhone riding in a shopping cart. The cameras certainly help, but they’re not required for surveillance pricing.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 5 weeks ago:
Probably also a way to track items on the shelves for inventory and ordering. Potentially a way to make sure employees and straightened up the isles/products at the end of the day.
Probably not for surge pricing, they already do all the tracking with Bluetooth for the most part since everyone always has their phone and no longer turns off Bluetooth to save battery.

Repainting everything twice is still easier than dealing with wallpaper

I’m sure there’s a hummus that’s delicious enough for you to eat it off a toilet seat. That doesn’t mean toilets (or celery) are food.

The French and Dutch, but that was decades ago
- Comment on Look At All That Unsold Freedom Juice 1 month ago:
The gas station near me still has a bunch of diet ‘American’ dew. They most not have sold well
- Comment on Why are Pokemon Showdown Moderators SO against the discussion of "Eating Pokemon"? 1 month ago:
In the higher levels they even have an automated machine to do it en masse.
- Comment on Could heating oil subsidies be reduced or replaced with subsidies for installing electric heating and houses.? 1 month ago:
Definitely not likely under the doesn’t drill baby drill administration, but energy wise it would be that smarter play for energy security
- Comment on Could heating oil subsidies be reduced or replaced with subsidies for installing electric heating and houses.? 1 month ago:
It could help but gas heat is cheaper per BTU than heat pumps in most of the USA due to low gas prices caused by a glut of gas from the fracking boom.

Would it be pronounced chewblerone?
- Comment on Why in America is .08 the legal limit for drunk driving? How come it's not an even 0.10? Who decided at what level being drunk starts? Then 4 beers of 12oz's is 0.08 why is it that small? 1 month ago:
At least in the US, the smoking age was moved to 21 back before COVID.
- Comment on Can I Live Off-Grid Using Littered Vapes & Solar? | Chris Doel 1 month ago:
If it’s gonna be heavy AF anyway, might as well add some sand to the bottom. To protect the concrete in case of a runaway.
Good luck!

Give them $5 to put the box just outside the store, and tell them there’s another $5 for them if they call when it’s full.
Putting it inside could be a bit of a fire hazard, so I bet they’d be more receptive to it being outside

It being for VR headsets doesn’t mean it’s not for kinky sex stuff
- Comment on Valid point 2 months ago:
The phone is already trying to connect to cell networks when it’s in the bag, the moment it comes out it’s already broadcasting which means the cell networks can triangulate your location even before ‘signal is acquired’.

How do you do tap-to-pay from inside a faraday bag?

Do your rooms not have windows? Window and portable units are a lot cheaper than 2500
