Microwave it first. Just to soften.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
After?! Get paid again and read carefully.
Before? Read carefully.

Nah. Just ignore all laws that slow it down.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Take then to do things you enjoy. Do things they enjoy.
Your kids will be the best and worst of you both.
Be certain you like them as a person.
- Comment on Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.11 out now with an in-game settings menu and better server browser 4 days ago:
Because I want people to be interested, but that requires knowing what a thing is.
From FAQ:
Is Luanti a clone of Minecraft? # No. Luanti has very different goals from Minecraft, and doesn’t aim to compete with or replace Minecraft. Luanti is an engine and a platform for many different voxel games, rather than one cohesive gaming experience.
When Luanti was initially created in 2010 it intended to replicate what Minecraft Alpha had been shown to do at the time, but it has later diverged into becoming more akin to a game engine.
- Comment on Entropy? Never heard of it. 5 days ago:
Yes, it works as a “plan B” (along with many other things).
Don’t loose hope. We can still win. Keep pushing for producing less CO2.

No necessarily.
- Comment on Dinner bell is going off 6 days ago:

- Comment on might be time to legally change your name 6 days ago:
Ah yes, I am a bit off on the English translation. You found the phrase.
- Comment on might be time to legally change your name 6 days ago:
Yes, but apparently my understanding is a bit off.
- Comment on might be time to legally change your name 6 days ago:
Mandarin for “I don’t know” is also problematic.

One doesn’t need to stop on a 3.5 hour trip. (5 hours likely needs a stop.)
A 3.5 hour trip with buddies is a trip with lots of stops.
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 1 week ago:
Very nice!
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 1 week ago:
I put mine in order. I hang them on the right and take from left. If I skip a shirt long, it is donated.
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 1 week ago:
It is the goal.
- Comment on Jamie Dimon popped off at the 1,200+ JPMorgan employees fighting against full-time RTO: 'I don’t care how many people sign that petition' 1 week ago:
They will fight all challenges because of this. (Remote work, higher minimum wages, universal basic income)
- Comment on Replace "call in sick" with quit your job. 1 week ago:
Always good to have a plan for not having a job.
- Comment on Content warnings as defense mechanism against the feeling of being overwhelmed by the right wing tactic "flooding the zone with shit" 1 week ago:
Great article.
Maybe also “tags” so the onslaught of bullshit can be organized?
- Comment on What we all want deep down 1 week ago:
Fun fact. There a lots of discussion in financial spaces that the money doesn’t stop the worry.
It does remove many actual issues though.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
I stop ordering from restaurants that shuffle orders to Door Dash.
I wouldn’t mind a local co-op food delivery company.
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 2 weeks ago:
Need a spokes person, else it is a waste. Maybe we could vote on a small number of people to represent us? Maybe by region, maybe by industry.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Just the same as why some people have to study constantly and others only a few hours per night.
Some kinds of information connect to previously learned information better than others. Knowing Latin helps with medical body part names.
Some degrees have coursework that overlaps other course work heavily. (Math, basic physics, and static mechanics all overlap a lot.)
Some material is more “rational” and can be calculated, others depend upon rote memorization.
Some study techniques work better for sone material and some people than others. Be certain to try many techniques.
Some people are smarter than others. A benefit of being smart is learning fast. A hardship is crap study skills.
- Comment on Is it possible to learn new things with no external stimuli at all? 2 weeks ago:
One would go crazy. This would be an extreme verion on solitary confinement.
To the question. One may learn lots if untrue things.
- Comment on "I know the perfect place for the ESP button! Right in front of the drivers knee!" 3 weeks ago:
A minor accident and crunch.
- Comment on Anon signs up for a 5k 3 weeks ago:
Apparently, a lot.
It is weird interacting with those couples too. Sometimes they just play a role with their spouse and have to get away from them to be themselves.
They are as miserable as it sounds.
- Comment on Anon has an antique revolver 3 weeks ago:
I intended to make a joke about leaving the screws out, but there are only 5. (Plus nuts and bolts.)
10 springs though. A lot more than I anticipated.
- Comment on Gen Z reveals the surprising reasons they are career catfishing—ghosting a new boss after endless interview rounds: Nearly a quarter say it was a dare 3 weeks ago:
Ad on article pointedto Starbuck’s CEO making $5 million in bonus after 1 month.
Enjoy the quite vacation.
- Comment on I am in the US and its gotten very political but as pretty much a peon do I just tune the stuff out thinking its fear mongering? Or should I closely pay attention to it? 3 weeks ago:
Just cross check souces before acting.
And write down who said what. Then you can check later and eliminate the bad sources.
- Comment on Would not adding a stamp and return address on a letter give you free postage 4 weeks ago:
Old idea that I fail to find a reference for. It has appeared in some TV shows as a plot. It likely has a cool name…
Last I recall, the “return address” gets a note to pay the postage to get the letter if it seems someone is being clever.
Within one town and once? Likely free postage.
A noticed pattern? Maybe a visit from Postal Inspector.

at least not incest.
At least there is that.
