- Comment on such a cold answer i felt bad for him 3 days ago:
My mom has been squatting in my apartment for a year and a half. I’m really looking forward to having my own space again. Neither of us chose this and it’s clearly affecting us mentally.
And yet, I wouldn’t go that far.

That’s a giant asterisk. My mom regularly oversalts her soup and I wish she didn’t. Some restaurants (especially fancy restaurants) salt their food so much it’s borderline inedible. There’s no good reason for them to do that. Arrogance perhaps.
Even my own tastes in salt vary greatly from day to day. So I wouldn’t even trust myself with getting the salt amount right for myself if I cooked for myself alone. As soon as any other human is implied, it just gets riskier.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 4 days ago:
Honestly I’ve tried salting a few times and for the little difference it makes… I don’t feel it’s worth the trouble.
But thanks for the info, I honestly hadn’t thought about the details.
- Comment on Its all about bonding 4 days ago:
I can just salt it in my plate. Feels wasteful to put a ton of salt in the water and dump 99% of the salt in the sink anyway.
Plus, sometimes, I just feel like keeping it unsalted entirely. Depends on the sauce etc. You taste the subtle sweetness of the noodles more that way.

Just use whole wheat pasta.
Stir literally once. No salt, no oil, no additional stirring.

What. Why. That makes no sense.

Huh. I was convinced there was a bigger difference.

Doesn’t that kinda make Canada look smaller than the US?

More focus on open-world titles and games as a service? Every time I think they’ve hit the bottom, they manage to dig deeper.

Oh, you don’t need the music to need to shout. The high ceiling achieves that by itself. Echo, space to fill, or something. Not to knowledgeable about acoustics.
I really wish they made restaurants with low ceilings. You take the tallest people who are likely to come, you add maybe 30 cm, and that’s more than high enough, right? No, they’ve gotta have ceilings so high they could genuinely fit two floors in the one they have. It’s a waste of space, too.

Honestly they should lend their branding to an energy drink brand. Wouldn’t it sell well?

How do you do another level?

I’ve played it once in the past. Just the normal poker with five cards in your hand and you get two rounds of changing cards.
It was fun.
I lost 2 imaginary dollars.
- Comment on Truly 9 months ago:
I guess, but at that point I can do that in your average JRPG or something. I feel like it would be more fun with people. Unless they’re paying the Texas game with all the cards in the middle. That one is complicated and you only have two cards of yours and I really don’t have fun with it.
- Comment on Truly 9 months ago:
I don’t get slot machines. They’re not even slightly fun.
I wish casinos had fun games with small bets. Like, I don’t know, poker where you can play several hands with 20 dollars.
But as it stands, I don’t think I’ll ever visit a casino again. It’s either boring slots or you need to be rich to play the “real” games.

So far it’s working fine, yeah. No need to choose among a zillion distros someone swears is the best, I know for a fact there are first-party drivers for everything, no need to fiddle around with CLI, it plays everything my graphics card can muster, and I don’t need to worry about game compatibility or whether Nvidia deigned to support my OS.
Windows has a lot of problems, but if you’re just looking to play games without too much complexity… It’s as close to “it just works” as I can imagine getting without switching to a console (or limiting myself to the few games that work on Apple devices, I guess).
Plus, big argument, it’s familiar. You can forgive more annoyances when you’re not learning something new. Humans are just lazy like that.

One day, Linux will be ready for a no-headaches gaming PC. Genuinely looking forward to it.
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 10 months ago:
Uh, high school science teacher. Never really looked it up until today but considering there’s science on the reverse effect (less oxygen for slower aging), I’d say it’s probably not bullshit.
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 10 months ago:
Damn it
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 10 months ago:
I just meant breathing more oxygen makes you agree faster
- Comment on hyperbaric oxygen chamber 10 months ago:
Oxygen chamber? Sounds like a great way to die early
- Comment on Don't get mad, get even 10 months ago:
Microwaves designed for public use often don’t have them. I never really knew whether it’s because they don’t need them because they have more magnetrons or something, or just because they prioritize easy cleaning.

Is it usually earlier in the US? Sounds a bit on the high side for where I live too.

Curie looks tired. If I’m gonna embarrass myself with anyone anyway, I’ll invite her and we’ll have a relaxing cup of herb tea at least.

You could also see it as a form of greenwashing, making you think you’re buying local, and thus greener, if you don’t look closely.

I don’t mean to brag, but I have an astonishing lack of culture.

Initial reaction: there’s no way that’s real
After reading the comments: what the fuck
