PS/Xbox controllers have more internal space, so their joystick modules are much, much larger than what goes in the joycon. That means they can have more material in the potentiometers, meaning less susceptible to wear and dust/dirt intrusions.

If you’re in the woods, you have access to a virtually unlimited amount of fuel. If you’re in a desert, the fuel source is nuclear. This is a technique taught in survival courses/manuals and military field guides all over the world.

A pot, a sheet of plastic, a cup, a rock, some sticks and rope and you can distill water.

- Comment on Anon visits a guy's house 2 weeks ago:
years back, my eldest daughter was the only one in the family with long hair (wife and I keep ours short, at the time the rest of the kids also kept short hair - that’s changed now), and she would just let that go down the drain in the bath, which would eventually clog the drain.
The first couple times, I cleaned it and had gotten one of those strainer things to help keep the hair out. She would always “forget” to use it, even though it was always over the drain (the plug is one of those pop-up ones so you can open and close it without moving the strainer out of the way).
The next time the drain clogged, I handed her a bag and an old pair of pliers and told her to get to cleaning. That strainer has been on the drain ever since.

I’ve settled on soaps that don’t aggravate my psoriasis and have an agreeable scent. They do happen to be “men” soaps, but absent another option or if I’m not at home, then I was with what’s available.
The only exception is my beard wash/oil/balm. I bring that shit with me.

We have that in Ontario, and as a kid my cub/scout troop would go around town and ask people to give us their empties as a fundraiser. We’d return them and use the money to buy camping supplies and stuff.

Happened after the Eastern CAN/US blackout in 2003, and that was only a few hours for a good chunk of the people.
- Comment on What Do They Get From Rock ’n’ Roll? “We might ask ourselves, therefore, just why is it that with the onset of puberty, Americans embrace rock ’n’ roll? What exactly does it do for them?” 1 month ago:

+1 on that, I started with my kids on a free cloud server, and now have a local instance running in a container on my NAS for us to use

Finally if you want to make yogurt or cream cheese, you want to work of raw milk because it contains the fermenting bacteria, but that is more of a niche application.
If you’re going to make anything from milk that requires bacterial cultures and the conditions under which they will grow, you absolutely do not want whatever random cultures that are in a raw product. You start clean and add the cultures you want to propagate. Source: ferments things at home
- Comment on Bird Bath 6 months ago:
I feel like there might be a minimum age before being able to do this… I’m in my 40s and I don’t think I could stretch out my ‘bird bath’ enough to pour a drink in it yet, except maybe on a particularly warm day…
- Comment on Yeasty 6 months ago:
Homebrewer here, they generally don’t die, they just go dormant. It’s quite normal to harvest yeast at the end of fermentation, to the point where many breweries do so to save money. You can even use the harvested yeast to make bread with (which is how bread used to be made)

- Comment on How do I get over fear of cooking? 6 months ago:
Also as far as cooking hardware, glass-top stoves are very difficult to start fires on, and induction cooktops are even more, at least for stuff like boilovers and spilled food.
I’d also suggest taking some sort of cooking class, many community colleges have classes that you can take at night, and there are several businesses that offer classes as well. Getting used to the tools and techniques in a supervised environment can go a long way for confidence at home.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 6 months ago:
In practice, that’s not what happens generally. A widget is $100, the 5% tariff brings it up to $105 and company bumps the price to $110. People need the widget so they buy it at $110. Tariff goes away, but company knows that people will pay at least $110 for the widget, so they try bumping the price to $115. Maybe it doesn’t sell, so they “discount” it back to $110 and people will happily buy it thinking they’re getting a deal, while the company is pocketing that extra $10.

google also allows offline caching, but also needs to be set up ahead of time. AFAIK once you set a region to download, it will update that cache regularly.
I would expect this is a feature that most map apps would offer

telling/showing the right way is a turn-off
I don’t think OP is talking about a PowerPoint presentation (unless that’s your kink, you do you), but more like some verbal cues “faster” “don’t stop” “a little lower” etc. If the guy has a reasonable amount of attentiveness and experience, he should be able to get her 80% of the way there. Also, little cues like that can be hot as well because we know she’s into it and stuff.

The worst part is that when the tariffs are lifted, we’ll thank them for lowering the prices by buying more of their shit. We’ll be grateful for the opportunity to pay even more into their profit margins.
Prices won’t go down, companies will pocket the difference
