Chris Hadfield, astronaut, says in his book that in space everyone is either a +1, a 0 or a -1.
Everyone should strive to be a +1, but mostly being a 0 is fine. Being a -1 is pretty terrible, a whole other person is needed just to get back to a stable state. Which is basically what the message above is getting at.
- Comment on onions 1 week ago:
I can’t eat raw onion or anything in the onion family, and onion powder appears as a flavouring on a large percentage of snacks.
Cooked onion is ok though, once it’s translucent. Took years to figure out what was triggering the migraines.

Never too late for that. Pretty much everyone I know has skipped years or restarted in life. It happens.
- Comment on the Home Alone house then and now 2 weeks ago:
People don’t really believe that was a regular decoration for a regular house, do they?
It was deliberately coloured in Xmas colouring in all surfaces in a ludicrous way. It’s certainly not a standard anyone was actually living to.

If it’s got a nice oxide layer on the outside, fine. Otherwise it’s fairly reactive.

I was recently in a pub which had water bottles from the different regions of Scotland, so you could add drops of the same water it was made from.
Also, a pipette to exactly measure the amount of water added. It was excellent.

Same, one LTS to the next, and all online tutorials assume you’re on it. My years of messing with fstab, alsamixer and such are long behind me.

- Comment on Not Over Yet ☝️🤓 2 months ago:
Yup, after 25+ mins of conversation, often there aren’t any actionable takeaways and noone has taken ownership of anything.
I’d much rather spend a few mins working out who’s on the hook for what, rather than meet again in a week and discuss the whole thing again with zero progress in between.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
This seems like it would be inefficient at both types of harvesting. Also the amount of pesticides and extra nutrients sprayed onto crops would cause algae blooms in the water and kill everything else.
Unless this is specifically designed as a low yield eco thing, in which case we’d need many multiples of land used to achieve the same output.
There’s a reason the world population has exploded in the last few decades, without 10x the number of farms.

I was there. Got it down to functional alcoholism, and honestly it wasn’t as difficult as you’d expect. Stopping completely is still quite beyond me.

I agree, all the other examples here are not on a single line. Some of the letters are on top of other letters, definitely not linear.
