If you just want great scrambled eggs without adding anything else and can be arsed: separate the yolks and cook the whites to your preferred consistency. Then, turn off the heat and whisk in the yolks straight away. The residual heat cooks through but by cooking them less than the whites you get a lot more flavour.
- Comment on What are some of the impacts of a power outage that isn't that obvious / isn't talked about a lot? And What happens to restaurant bills? Do Buses still work? (since card payments wouldn't work) 6 days ago:
This still works. Most debit and credit cards can still be used to authorise offline payments up to a set limit, though it’s kinda of moot if the PDQ’s battery is dead.

This depends on where and why. I know that in some parts of the Carribbean, for example, most towers will only last a day or two, but there are some that can last weeks with satellite backhauls providing minimal service to large areas.
- Comment on At least 4,500 Americans per year die from hydroxyl acid exposure 1 week ago:
Dihydrogen Monoxide can make your lungs shut down, killing you, and if gets into your blood it can cause your brain to swell, also killing you. Cancer, Coronavirus and Polio all thrive in environments rich in hydrogen monoxide. If a building’s foundations are exposed to dihydrogen monoxide it can lead to structural collapse, and it causes painful blistering and instant cell death if flesh is exposed to it in its gaseous form. Despite this, the food industry - clamouring for profits above all other considerations - uses dihydrogen monoxide throughout the food production process, meaning this dangerous chemical is present in almost all processed foods.

I can’t be bothered reading the article but could someone clarify for me: is the fountain of pee the means or the recipient of the communication?

Fuck it, I’ll take all the “riz”, “no cap”, “frfr” bullshit over ANY of the other slang of the last thirty years or so. At least it makes sense.

Meanwhile, their Grandmas in the 2010s: Kids these days are too woke, they never play outside. I hate that Greasy Thunberg or whatever she calls herself, so preachy. No-one walks anywhere any more it’s so sad. This Facebook user I love posts AI pictures of kittens and says immigrants are eating our pets and universities are run by Muslim terrorists. I saw some kids outside the other day and was terrified so we’re getting the city to close the park and get rid of the bus shelters. All music sounds the same these days like it’s made in a factory, not like the real music we had - kids these days don’t even know what Motown is.

Yeah, my response to this argument is always the same: I work in IT, how do I barter for potatoes? If you’re a potato farmer, how many potatoes is a hip transplant worth? Maybe assigning worth to things with an abstract unit isn’t such a terrible idea after all…

In seriousness, though, one of these type of sites looked like a scam but they warned me that my Driver Registry needed defragmentation to avoid WiFi Corruption and had a free download to fix it so, y’know, swings and roundabouts.

“Trade it in or recycle it” basically means “your best bet to solve this problem is to pass it on to someone else, who will pass it on to someone else, and so on until it arrives at landfill”.

- Comment on TIL there's appliances to help with waffle stomping, Thanks Google 1 month ago:
They should make a device that removes the need for waffle stomping. Like, maybe a separate fixture without a grille and with an aperture large enough to allow the solid loaf to pass straight through. Maybe integrate some kind of support to allow the user to comfortably assume and hold a squatting position. Oh, and a cleaning feature to wash the contents away.
