Actually cinnamon doesn’t improve cinnamon. Anyone that’s attempted to cinnamon challenge can attest to this

Just stay on your current phone till it’s dead. And even if you switch to Android avoid Samsung it’s a bloated disaster. Use oneplus or import a sony phone if you want headphone jack microsd slot and hardware fingerprint reader
- Comment on Goodwill is out of control 4 weeks ago:
If you go rural enough and you find the mom and pop Christian own thrift stores you can still get those kind of deals.
Just recently I went to such a place and I got five stainless steel large (4qt) spice jars and a bunch of silverware for like $7 total.same things woulda been like $15 each at goodwill

Pretty sure it’s just supposed to be one of those how is it already this late in the year type things

If you don’t do Thanksgiving then this is honestly viable. Literally the only reason my big ass of an exists at this point is for a turkey because even though I got one of the probably largest countertop air fryers I could find where I can fit whole roasted chickens and do baking and other stuff it won’t fit a whole ass turkey and I don’t think I would want one that could that would be just a little bit too much counter space
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 months ago:
Honestly for me it’s about was the lot designed by an idiot. Large stores like Walmart and home depot are the worst offenders. If I need to park in the far out of reaches of the lot there’s never any fucking cart returns there.
All of them are grouped up right near the fucking front of the store where it’s least needed, and then there’s nothing at the outer edges. I make sure my cart is somewhere it will not move even in strong wind, but the designers of the parking lot can go fuck themselves for not putting a cart return stall at the outer edges where it makes sense in those massive lots.
Other stores like WinCo and costco seem to have this figured out. Cart returns at regular intervals across the entire parking lot. So no excuse not to return there

The problem is that nobody, apparently not even manufacturers anymore know how to fucking aim headlights. Headlights literally have aimer knobs and you are supposed to aim them such that they cut off just before they would blind the majority of vehicles
I have projector LEDs and with a projector lens you can get an extremely practically knife sharp cut off and I have it literally just at the very bottom edge of most small sedan windshield lines. It’s great my headlights are bright as fuck they go all the way from the left shoulder to the right shoulder even on four lane roads but they don’t blind anybody and I’ve had friends help me test that by just kind of passing each other on the street and them saying it was fine and wasn’t bad like other people’s cars

Some commuter Express routes operate on very limited stops so depending on when you got on you may very well have gotten on right before they hit the freeway and don’t stop till the next town

I asked that same thing to people that are somehow still playing Minecraft despite having been playing it since it was an alpha. I definitely played a lot of it but I can’t even touch it anymore I don’t care what mods you put on it
- Comment on Close call 2 months ago:
They get upset about it because it’s a trend in the industry that a lot of people hate. That particular series is a great example where the next game not only adds nothing but even generally takes stuff away from the previous title, but it keeps selling so it’s kind of becoming a trend in the industry for most series to just keep releasing the same garbage over and over.
So it’s less about enjoying a sports game that they are upset about, and more upset about encouraging the behavior of extremely low effort recycled releases constantly

It uses a fox girl for its mascot so that tells me everything I need to know. (it’s clearly the best)

All edges or just the left right? I’ve got really limited space so want to avoid just blowing air into a wall lol
- Comment on Average Amazon user intelligence 3 months ago:
I am the one that posted the question on that product, the answer came the next day. And I can confirm from having gotten the emails asking for answers to questions in the past that the email asking the question provides you an image of the item and description so even if the listing had been flipped it should have not shown them the dash cam in the email asking the question.
But yes sellers do like to do that to make reviews look good, he have to be careful to actually read the reviews to look for someone describing the product to make sure it matches

Have you seriously never just had that one moment where your hands were full and you needed the keys out of your hand for a second but you knew you were about to need the keys again shortly so you just put them in your mouth real quick so that you can do what you need to do and then grab the keys again
- Comment on Shits these days 6 months ago:
It’s a little weird at first but you very quickly get used to it, it’s now to the point that when I’m forced to use toilet paper that is now weird and uncomfortable. I have a fancier bidet that has a drying function which is essentially just a miniature hair dryer pointed at your ass but when I’m in a hurry I literally just use a hand towel.
Butt towels are surprisingly common for bidet users because you’re literally just drying water, the bidet has fucking power blasted any sign of shit away so the towel will never get any marks or streaks on it
- Comment on Shits these days 6 months ago:
It’s genuinely difficult going back to toilet paper once you get used to a bidet. It’s just so much better in every way
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 6 months ago:
It’s a case of the straw that broke the camel’s back I think. People are getting sick and tired of needing an account for everything. And this is getting more attention than it otherwise would have both because of how popular the game is and the fact that the requirement is coming after launch. I’m tired of making an account for epic games, for battlenet, for microsoft, for gog, for capcom, for PlayStation Network. Especially when the game has clearly been functioning perfectly fine without it this entire time
I think that people are finally just reaching the breaking point on this and helldivers was just in the unfortunate position of being the one that finally broke that back

The US is the worst offending nation but many others will fail for the same reason. Was just heading off the “but this one small place with specific economics did it” comments

An almost immeasurable amount? It’s how goods are transported, enables a vastly larger pool of workers, and is a continuous source of work for an entire sector
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 6 months ago:
It shouldn’t be, but I don’t live in Fairy Tail and I live in the real world. And as sad as it is the fact of the matter is if it’s not profitable it’s not happening. At least not in the US, so unless the population finally chooses the band together tear down the current structure and basically change overnight I have to ask for realistic possible solutions
- Comment on We can do all three things at once 6 months ago:
It’s just not going to happen, it’s way too slow to become profitable. There are plenty of nuclear power plants in production that have been in production for 40 years that still aren’t profitable.
Storage is going to have to be the thing that makes up for the instability of solar and wind, whether it be in the form of heat storage, hydrogen production, fly wheels, or some breakthrough in Battery Tech.

Ask someone that ended up being the teacher for the majority of my friend group. If struggling with the teaching more than likely you’re trying to give answers to their questions. Which is actually more unhelpful than helpful.
If they’re asking you how to make a certain kind of turn, or how to know how close they are to something. Just giving them an answer isn’t really useful because they don’t know how to arrive at that answer, instead you need to help them ask the correct questions.
" you didn’t quite make it in that parallel park, get out and take a look at where the car is. The back of the car is only just barely in the spot, so clearly you didn’t end up deep enough in the spot. What do you think you need to do to change that"
And have them keep practicing until they start to figure it out, it will seem frustrating for them in the moment but it’s genuinely more useful for them to try things on their own and attempt to reach the answer than it is for them to be handed the answer because then they understand not just the answer but the why of the answer. Why did I not make that turn, what does it feel like to not make the turn properly. Which is very important for being able to apply those same principles of vehicle control to other situations.
One of my favorite things to do with people is to set up some cones or a block of wood or whatever and just tell them to try and park as closely as possible to that object without touching it. I have them do that, get out, go look at how close they were to it, and then try again if they were nowhere near it until they can get it to Within less than a foot. Great way to help train sense of vehicle position.

400 on a single shard (server) that actually quite a lot. It is far far easier to just throw a bajillion different servers at the problem and only have a relatively small player count per server. Having 400 running smoothly on a single server is a very impressive optimization achievement

The metal grid is nowhere near fine enough for microplastics. It’s like trying to filter out a car through gaps the size of the grand canyon
