  Looks like a pretty low tax rate to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shhhhh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean, beep when they’re finished?

  Many microwaves have a semi-hidden feature to mute all sounds. Usually involves long-pressing one of the number buttons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally a map to show me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it’s probably averaged from bra sizes sold by some company.

  Initially misread as “brought” and imagined someone squeezing houses in a briefcase

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Job related: Am I being stupid?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you looked into becoming a nurse practitioner? You sound like you might feel more fulfilled with more medical knowledge and a job in more of an expert role.

  Oh I could likely see the difference. But if there’s a significant impact on battery life, I would probably be just fine with the lower resolution.

  It would suck if the touchscreen option were only available with a 4K resolution because of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework (2nd Gen) Event is live on February 25th - Framework holding new product launch in 2 weeks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Touchscreen? Great!

  UHD though? In such a small form factor, it sounds like a needless battery drain. Or are there use cases I’m missing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not. They contained a lot of air at that point. But yeah … If it doesn’t look, taste or smell rotten, I’m usually not worried by food.

  But then again, I’m vegetarian, so I avoid most non-obvious risks by that alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a busy day⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Frickin’ mobile games. Got sucked into giving KonoSuba: Fantastic Days nearly an hour of my time every day for a few months. I even gave them nearly a hundred dollars. And it felt like WORK, because I didn’t want to be inefficient and miss quest rewards.

  Never again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Btw I took a look at your comment and if it helps, washed eggs are good basically forever too. I never throw them away. I’ve eaten eggs that had been expired for 6 months, and while they were a little dried up (kinda dense; the white had shrunk), they were otherwise totally fine.

  You know how they say you know there’s a methane or propane leak because of the smell of rotten eggs… I’ve never smelled rotten eggs. Only propane. Eggs refuse to rot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not American, but in a lot of American cooking videos I watch, the host will go like “NEVER eat raw egg” or “I’m tasting a small amount here but it’s a calculated risk I’m taking and you may not want to”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re missing something!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was convinced Japan also washed their eggs. I’m confused.

  Also I’m curious about why Americans are really squeamish about people eating any egg products that haven’t been fully sterilized by cooking, while others generally aren’t scared of it, even if they’re in a country that washes eggs just like the US.

  In the US, people don’t even taste their cake batter to check the amount of sugar before cooking it; in Canada, a summer isn’t whole until you’ve made strawberry mousse (ingredients: strawberry, egg whites, sugar; eaten raw). Perplexing. Is it riskier in the US, or is the risk equally low everywhere but Americans are really paranoid?

  Can someone help me understand the baldness and potash memes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell is making everyone return to office, too⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hate them almost as much as in-person meetings lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What the fuck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Snap, Crackle, Transubstantiate⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re pretty addictive, but solely because of the texture. Crispy yet melty. The taste is almost non-existent though.

  You can buy bags of communion wafer scraps for cheap here. Well, they used to be actual scraps, but nowadays you get full uncut wafer rectangles in the bag so I think they just produce them on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell is making everyone return to office, too⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have they ever heard of Teams calls. I swear managers are so out of touch it’s not funny

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell is making everyone return to office, too⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My company is a horrible work environment. Anytime I go in person, I work half as fast and get tired faster.

  Noise, distractions, bad ergonomics, meh hardware…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is going to get a call from HR⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof, one more really bad word I now know about, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The amount of ads cycling on Fextralife⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those game wikis are basically the only ones I use an adblocker on. They’re basically unusable on mobile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not mileage infuriating, that’s fucking abuse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would surprise me. It just doesn’t sound like their flavour of bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Very little of what you mention was obvious to me. From the courtyard forward was the only place I wasn’t completely lost all the time.

  Before that, the multi-level section around where you get locked in with a knight, the labyrinthine rooms around the kitchen, the rampart tops and rooftops, the outside sections… Everything was pure confusion. Kept coming back to the same places, entering one of the million nearly identical looking doors, going round and round without ever reaching the place I was trying to reach…

  Subtle hints don’t really suffice for people without a sense of direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a gamer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know Stormveil is a nightmare in which people get lost and confused for hours, right?

  Not quite as bad as Leyndell, but I’ve had very bad times getting lost in those places. Almost dropped and game over it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's absolutely true.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The location of this comma, really annoys me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technically correct⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Physicist Albert Einstein did not commit suicide. That statement is true.

  It’s only technically correct because it’s an obvious truth not worth shouting from the rooftops.

  The author likely meant to say that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself. His death was ruled as a suicide but is thought by many to have been a murder to silence him because of all the secrets he knew.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨J IS LORD⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh thanks. I’d have never guessed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨J IS LORD⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this supposed to be?

  I don’t know what’s best, but I know FF7 Remake’s annoys me because I always expect it to have i-frames, but it doesn’t.
