I actually looked for one in °C but the only ones I found had big stupid display screens. I just wanted one with 5-6 simple presets without adding unnecessary points of failure.
To be fair, I didn’t look that hard though. I wasn’t willing to spend that much time and the place I order my tea from labels all the recommended temps in °F anyway.

And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.
Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing had been a game changer for white tea.

I’ve got a lot of play in my life and the woman almost always made the first move. Because I’m the kind of idiot where a woman can come sit in my lap and stroke my inner thigh and I’ll think “hmmm, I wonder if she might be interested in me.”
If a woman has never hit on you, I’ve got bad news for you dawg (assuming you want a woman to hit on you).

The use of the definite article “the” is important.
He didn’t ask if Putin “has pictures” like you and I might if we were joking about some hypothetical blackmail material we don’t actually know exists, he asked if Putin “has the pictures.”

They may just be confused about what they heard, or they heard that from someone confused.
Something I heard, which sounds more plausible, is: rotisserie chickens that have been sitting around a bit (not even close to going bad, just not very hot and fresh anymore) are used to make the things they sell with rotisserie chicken in them, like those trays of chicken and broccoli Alfredo.

Not wanting to be a lazy shit that let’s her do all the housework is 99% of my motivation. But when I get the motivation to do the dishes it has to be now or it’ll be never.
- Comment on Anon gets his life in order 4 weeks ago:
Meanwhile, my wife enables my executive dysfunction, saying things like “oh, just do it tomorrow.” I have to explain to her, if I don’t do it now, it won’t get done for a month. Saying it out loud like that seems to give me the motivation to do it now.

Maintenance cost such, but even that has a silver lining when you own. It’s yours. When your fridge breaks in a rental you’re not out any money, but they just bring by another jank landlord special. I redid my kitchen with Thermador, not the top of the top, but pretty far up there. That cost quite a bit but it’s mine and my kitchen is far better than anything I had renting.

That too, last year before I finished my mortgage my neighbor was paying week over double my mortgage, property taxes, and maintenance costs combined.

The value of a paid off home is not the equity, that’s just numbers on a paper until you die and your heirs sell. The value is in living for peanuts for the rest of your life.
My house is paid off. My monthly housing costs are $735 for property tax that can’t increase more than 2% year due to California law. My neighbor two doors down with the same floor plan rents for $6500/month. That difference will only increase for the next 40 (I hope) years until I die.

Those whipped cream cheeses are easy as fuck to spread on a bagel with the shitty plastic knives they give you. Same stuff, just made spreadable. You can just tear off a chunk and dip it if you want. No change to the taste and the difference in texture is negligible because the bagel is 99% of that.
This in one of the rare processed food “innovations” that’s actually good. Regular cream cheese is only for cooking now.

- Comment on Car community shenanigans dump (open post) 3 months ago:
I don’t know how the Mercedes ones work or what type of fridge he has, but BMWs just have a door light and a filter goes over it for “M”, “BMW”, the roundel, etc., and my fridge just has a light.
I assumed he found you could put the filter from the car on the fridge light with a minimum of fucking around.
But you’re right, the more time and effort spent on this, the stupider it becomes.
- Comment on Car community shenanigans dump (open post) 3 months ago:
I get where you’re coming from, I’m logo free to the maximum extent practical, but a fridge is inside your house. If i wanted an “M” projection on my fridge light (I definitely don’t, but if I did), I wouldn’t consider that providing free advertising.

It’s been a while, so correct me if I’m wrong; but isn’t the gift moving on to something else after a mortal life? If I recall correctly, elves are stuck in the physical world forever. Even when they die don’t they just go to some limnal place for a while then come back?

I recently renovated and said fuck no to all the smart home shit. Just the idea of having to troubleshoot the WiFi because my kitchen light won’t turn on drives me into a rage.
- Comment on What's the story in your field? Here's mine 4 months ago:
I had a chance run in with one of my profs and his TA at a bar. He was the department chair but got roped into teaching an undergrad class that semester. He was basically that guy on the right, and the TA was on his way there. The insights into what life as a physics PhD was really like that I gleaned from that conversation is why I’m not the guy on the right and instead found something easy and high paying with a different major. Sometimes I feel like I might have wasted my natural ability, but I think I’m probably much happier. Also, maybe I’m just not that smart anyway and my absence is absolutely no loss to the field.

I guess it’s true, money can’t buy taste.
Fun fact: Alec Baldwin’s character was invented for the movie to provide exposition. The filmmakers didn’t trust movie-going audience to pick up the information from the three conversations that occur at the beginning of the play.
- Comment on Neville Page Says ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 1 Klingons Were “A Salty Broth” 6 months ago:
If I remember correctly that’s kind of what happened. The Klingons used augment genes from Earth’s eugenics wars (the ones used to make Khan and others) to try and create their own augmented Klingons. It went wrong and the result was human looking Klingons and it somehow became a transmissible virus. That’s where the TOS looking looking ones came from. All of this is retcon of course.

My wife love it too even though she didn’t play MMOs, but she had a basic understanding from hearing me talk about them.
She couldn’t get enough of the DKP minus video from around the same time, although I did have to explain DKP because none of my groups used it.
- Comment on God is a dick. 7 months ago:
Our current understanding of the big bang is not that it did out from one place, it happened everywhere all at once. If the universe is infinite, it started from zero volume and infinite density then immediately became infinite in volume and finite in density. The density of matter/energy is what is finite, not the amount of matter/energy, that is infinite (if the universe is infinite). Then there was a period of rapid inflation, then is settled down to the inflation we see today.
Infinite or finite, the universe is not spreading out into anything, the distances between points are simply increasing.

I thought it was that the guest in room one was doing some weird diaper/puppet sex shit and the prospective guest was no longer interested in the room.
But maybe that’s a me problem.

Over $1/oz is expensive. The bougie shit I buy rarely goes over $2/oz and the cheap stuff (still real cheese, not crap like Velveeta or Kraft singles) is $0.25-0.30/oz, and on sale even cheaper.

I’ve always liked that one. On a scale of fanny to gash, how impolite is it considered over there?
