In what is likely a touristy or well traveled section. Sometimes the difference includes how we do our transportation too, like more walking/biking. Maybe a difference in how often we rely on said restaurants too.

I’ve tasted cucumber water and can definitely taste the cucumber (I also drink unsweetened seltzers). I wonder why theirs isn’t working.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 1 week ago:
I do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.
Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.
As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.

I joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.
The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.
So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.

There are 3 colors on the avocado parts, a deeper green, a lighter yellowish green, and a light brownish part, which is consistent with avocado cuts and oxidization.
- Comment on sushi delivery 2 weeks ago:
Definitely avocado; cucumber doesn’t have that color gradient but avocados do.

I’m definitely not an expert, but I thought the biggest issue with baked edibles were the temps you cooked them at might degrade THC. Isn’t it impossible to get the dough crispy at temps THC stays stable at?

I drive an EV, use my e bike to shop, Carey my own bags both bike and war, and have a portable collapsible basket for shopping if I use my car. No one has ever asked if or suggested that I’m gay.
In fact, I see more people assuming I have kids (I have none).
- Comment on Nintendo's Creature Capture Patent Dealt Blow Amid Palworld Lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
The decision mentions ARK, which has always been one of my arguments. It’s a survival builder with Dinos, but almost every creature is capturable/tamable in some way or another, aside from some bosses/special enemies. Ark has been around a while, and even added a stored in a ball like element years back, but it probably doesn’t exactly come to mind as a catch em all game for most people.
- Comment on And what car did you learn in? 2 weeks ago:
My first two cars were manuals, and I enjoy manuals (drive an EV now so no choice there) but this post reeks of acting like doing so makes us special. It doesn’t. We just learned a different skill, and almost anyone can learn it if they chose to and especially if they enjoy it.

I’m trying to think of the meaning you guys are saying, because for me it keeps making think of Computer Based Training, though I think that acronym fell out of use a decade ago.
Wait, I thought a sec and now I know exactly what it means. Oof ow my balls.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I actually make baba ganoush a lot, so sometimes I use it. I actually don’t use mayo when I’m making the sandwich, but if it’s fast food or a sandwich restaurant or something I’ll ask for light mayo or sometimes just mustard.
Haven’t tried vegan mayo, but maybe I’ll give it a try next time I feel like chicken/tuna salad.
- Comment on Fictional 3 weeks ago:
I think it means the instead that we made up measurements to measure the speed of light, but the God in this meme doesn’t use manmade measurements, so it’s just 1 (like 1c). Since the speed of light is the max theoretical speed of anything in the universe, it makes sense that anything else could be measured in fractions of it.

I’ve heard (as in, hearsay, so not reputable at all) that it may also be intended for emergency workers in case of a crash, but I still think that’s less likely than your explanation. If it were for emergency workers, you wouldn’t likely have it only on the rear window/bumper.

Not a romantic partner (obviously) but currently my sister and I are roommates, and when she’s out of town or staying at her boyfriend’s place I make the meals she isn’t really interested in, like Moqueca.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Very small amounts of mayo to moisturize bread in a sandwich is about all the mayo I like. It’s heavy on almost anything with a significant amount, including stuff like takoyaki or okonomiyaki, which come with Japanese mayo on top by default. Chicken/tuna salads or coleslaw are maybes, but I think I like substitutes using say silky soy better anyway.
Reason I didn’t mention egg salad is because despite eggs previously being one of my favorite foods, I seemed to have developed an allergy to them. Them being in baked goods are fine, but I can’t eat them in full form. Maybe also a reason mayo messes with me.
- Comment on But why 3 weeks ago:
Not defending King, as I always found the gangbang suspicious after I learned about it (haven’t, and won’t read it anyway), but there are people who fully believe Trump is a pedo etc but don’t think there’s any actual files the way people want. They argue there’s evidence, sure, but not the exact client list full of incriminating details on everyone involved that people are expecting to see.
Personally, if I remember the timeline right I can see that point, and it could be true, or there could be files, but I think the lions share that associated with him should be under suspicion, no matter the political alignment, and we should still keep pushing for them anyway, even if there is a chance they aren’t the format lots of people think they are.
- Comment on Mom they're fighting again 3 weeks ago:
They exist in FL and I’ve climbed trees to get em. I like em when they’re yellow. Delicious coconut water and basically a coconut “jelly” lining. I also lived in the Caribbean my early life (2-7) so had a lot down there too, plus fresh sugarcane, guava, mangoes, and a thing we called a plum but was a small tree fruit that I also loved yellow ripeness. After a quick Google evidently called a June Plum or a hog plum. Used to eat em straight from the tree.

I am up voting both your comment and the pizza crimes one, because in practice I agree with you (and personally like pineapple but hate pepperoni, sausage, and olives) I do enjoy faux rage about it too.

I think there might be some anthropomorphism affecting the opinion, and I know a lot of people dislike "raising someone else’s children ", especially unknowingly.
In humans, this mostly happens to men just due to biology, but I’m sure some women have experienced swapped kids.
It’s not like those animals are betraying defined social constructs while knowing better, so i agree with you more on this, but that would be my best guess for someone reacting so emotionally to it.
(Also there’s far worse things to use for the “no god” argument, like cancer and numerous other vicious diseases or syndromes)
- Comment on Posting for the "Now guys he was MURDERED! Don't celebrate!" Crowd 2 months ago:
As others mentioned, “gang violence” is generally a euphemism for non white, especially poor, people. I used to listen to Knowledge Fight(stopped after election not because of the boys, but didn’t want to hear Jones gloat) and during several shootings that involved black victims Jones dismissed it as gang violence.
One case I recall was a shooting in a school in GA that he was spinning some other way, until he found out the school was primarily black and the victim (who survived iirc) was black. He then just stated the kid was in a gang with no proof and dismissed the story.

Second, they loved about 10 million years apart.
But people say love can overcome anything, what’s a mere 10m years?
- Comment on choice 2 months ago:
Yeah, as I was writing it I thought the same thing. If not density though, then what do you measure as the… object itself? Since the prevailing theories are that black holes are either infinitely dense in a singularity, or that some are gravistars, we’d either turn an infinitely small dot into poop, or we’d turn something large enough for the poop to be dense enough anyway, so it may just shrink the blackhole.
Second point also works if using Schwarzschild radius or Kerr metric instead of a gravistar.
- Comment on choice 2 months ago:
Due to the nature of physics, and black hole made of poo would be the same black hole.
It’s like a question Randall got, how much water would it take to extinguish the sun? Answer of course being adding water or ice to the sun will only make it hotter.

- Comment on WATER! 2 months ago:
I definitely often say water, usually because of the way it’s asked, usually something like “What would you like to drink today?”
So it’s usually just “water” or “I’ll have water” or whatever drink in response. Glass of water sounds odd in response to me, especially since sometimes it’s green tea which usually wouldn’t come in a glass. Or coffee, etc

- Comment on Guess I'll just die 2 months ago:
There’s a podcast called Citation Needed (not the more popular Citations Needed) that is a comedy podcast reading Wikipedia and other short articles on events and subjects.
While is has no distinct theme, each of the 5 hosts has something they generally pick more. One picks disasters in exploration pretty often, and just listening to that comedy podcast that doesn’t really deep dive still shows how much this post ignores how many of those 1920s people straight up died doing their work.
