Agreed.
Unfortunately people in government saw the cost effectiveness of concrete vs wood and glass for things like a phone box.
Also, fuck brutalism.

Or OP could ask Mr. Owl. 😁
- Comment on Why are Michelin Stars so highly revered when they originated from a tyre company? 1 week ago:
I’ve eaten in US restaurants that rival restaurants in Paris I’d say the average restaurant in France is definitely better than the average in the US - but this is comparing apples and oranges.
New Yorkers would actually take offense at this question: they believe they have the best restaurants in the world (I don’t agree, but they have an argument given the great variety of immigrants that settled there since before the US existed).
- Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people? 1 week ago:
Hahaha, I’d laugh out loud at the nurses station!

You sound angry
You sound confused. You should show this chat to your boss, ask their opinion.

What’s a “WhatsApp channel”?
Whats a “WhatsApp”?

Good things to do, but it still only takes on poor quality cell to go up in flames and the rest will quickly follow.
Still very interesting.

Use less detergent than you think you need
This can’t be said enough. You typically need 1/4 or less than what’s on a measuring cup.
And make sure your water is at least 65°, which is where the detergent becomes more effective.
Also, clothes don’t need to be washed every time they’re worn, depending. Like jeans rarely need washing. Underwear, t-shirts, socks, that sort of thing need to be washed all the time.

Not on “my” smart fridge… Cause, you know, well fuck that.

Depending on the vinegar, a touch of sugar is acceptable.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Mustard is just an emulsifier (though I prefer mayo have a bit for the flavor).
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
American cheese is fine, don’t conflate the real cheese (which is just Swiss without aging or bacteria) with Kraft American Cheese Food product.
I’ve had American cheese that wasn’t the processed thing most people think of, just a cheese made from dairy, like any other cheese.
The problem is in labeling - since American cheese can be anything from real cheese to the processed stuff, people don’t know what they’re getting unless they know the producer.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Cheese freezes pretty well, depending on how you intend to use it later (most cheese get a little dry/crumbly).
They must be defrosted gently, unless you intend it to be melted.

Tomatoes are sweet?
I grew up gardening, tomatoes aren’t sweet… Unless you specifically get a sweet variety.
As for ketchup, stop buying shitty brands of ketchup. If you think ketchup is crap, I suggest you read some history of the stuff, and maybe make your own.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Nice bigotry.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Sadly most people only know mayo from a jar, and then it’s all the crappy brands.
There are like 3 or 4 brands of mayo that have any flavor (Hellmann’s, Best Brands, there’s one from the southeast that I can’t recall, etc).
Once you make your own in 5 minutes (for about 75¢), you realize how weak store-bought stuff is.
- Comment on How to minimise the space taken up by windows partition? (dual-boot) 2 weeks ago:
I’ve found VM’s take up less space than a standard install.
My largest Windows VM is currently 73GB, and it has a bunch of stuff installed.
My smallest is 11GB, and that’s Win10Pro.
I just setup a Windows Server VM for testing, and with a base install the VM is 13GB.
- Comment on How to minimise the space taken up by windows partition? (dual-boot) 2 weeks ago:
Can you virtualize Windows instead of dual boot? KVM is excellent virtualization these days, and my Win 10 Enterprise VM is all of 16gb

Really tells us all we need to know about Stephen King.
I read his crap as an older teen, and frankly it sucked.
- Comment on Have you done US district court jury duty? What CAN I bring with me to the courthouse? 2 weeks ago:
I would ask your local court. Express your concerns about your condition.
As someone with hypoglycemia (think diabetes Type II Light), there’s no way I could do any kind of jury duty without my snack bag.
And I’m not eating or drinking whatever garbage they decide to provide. Sorry, I’ve found what works for me. And my fellow jurors you won’t like me when my blood sugar drops - my ability to reason goes right out the window.
- Comment on Just in case you thought reviving dead games seemed easy enough, GOG had to hire a private investigator to find an IP holder living off the grid for its preservation program 2 weeks ago:
Yea, the visuals and style of game play are great, but the mechanics are a little bland today.
But as I think about it, the mechanics were a bit bland at the time - my 8 year old niece loved it.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 2 weeks ago:
Plus most ovens don’t hold a single temp, but vary between two points attempting to average the set point.
Convection ovens improve the stability of the average temp throughout the oven.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 2 weeks ago:
That’s because convection is a faster bake.
- Comment on When baking, if your oven can't reach the temperature stated in the recipe, do you then just adjust for time? 2 weeks ago:
But only an experienced baker will know this, and off-hand I can’t think of anything where I could trade off time for temp
