Frozen blueberries are heavenly. If you rinse them with water and let them sit a few minutes, they sometimes develop a thin icy shell. Immaculate.
- Comment on As neglected as the 7 button on a microwave 6 days ago:
My microwave has a half minute add button, but it takes 2-3 seconds to accept another press of the same button. This condition is not true for any other button on microwave.
I just manually type in my times now.
- Comment on Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community 1 week ago:
But if their argument is that you can simply ignore mods you disagree with, then those individuals should stop brigading against and whining about, say, a mod that enables queer relationships. As their own arguments imply, they can simply ignore those mods.
They should really pick a side instead of cherrypicking what’s convenient for them.

Welp. Almost all of the conversations I’ve read about this change have devolved into “hopefully the new owners don’t enforce their political views.”
They always say shit like “if you don’t like a mod, don’t use it,” but they can’t wrap their heads around the idea that if they can’t tolerate the (ex-)site owner exercising his own moral beliefs, they can find a different platform.
Fun.

I didn’t know about this, and I probably would have been better off without it. Thank you, though :)

Some classes don’t require labs. A handful of people that I’ve seen will only show up for quizzes and still pass the class. Why they do it? No clue.
In particular, the classes I’ve seen this happen usually provide a semester-long list of what textbook chapters will be covered in which weeks. If the textbook is thorough enough and the course adheres to the text, it’s doable.

This is the game I used to convince my film nerd friends that games can be art too. They really enjoyed playing through it!
- Comment on Late 3 weeks ago:
Because following at home and teaching yourself the material during the course is different from knowing it all already.

You must drink copious amounts of water to convert into spaghetti and meat (but immunity to water intoxication).
It takes something like 1800 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef… but I feel like that’s too extreme for a side-effect. Anyone care to suggest a good ratio?
- Comment on Let's play this game again 4 weeks ago:
You can’t actually change time, just your perception of time.
If you can’t even think while freezing time, then your “side-effect” is just complete nullification. Not much of a side-effect.

It would be great for raw reaction time, granted you’d still have to wait for your body to catch up.

- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 4 weeks ago:
The game doesn’t really explain this, but you get different dodge animations when you are using an extra light build. To me, this made the game feel more like bloodborne, which made the combat easier to read. Eventually, I ended up parrying everything instead of dodging, but I really like how the game plays in this state. YMMV

I did the same thing with mio energy (energy drink concentrate) once, expect it was more… intentional.
I was quite stupid then. Nothing like a raging headache and a pumping heart.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 5 weeks ago:
The $800m figure is only useful for figuring out how much Tesla was expecting to make out of it. When you factor in the development and manufacturing costs, they’re hemorrhaging money.

Hell yeah if I could get a free cybertruck I’d have lots of fun salvaging the motors, batteries, sensors, etc.!

I agree with most of your sentiment, but if you can’t tell the difference between a clean 1080p image and a clean 4k image, then you either have a terrible display or you need to get your eyes checked. 4k to 8k is less notable of a change, much like going from 240hz display to a 480hz display.

I was buying lubricants and flux for putting together keyboards and other soldering projects.
My dad was like “look, I don’t know what drugs look like these days but it definitely looks weird when you’re getting multiple shipments of vials and syringes.”
And, honestly, I don’t blame him. It looked pretty sus.

Hello fellow 5’11 3/4-er. I gave up on it a while ago. At least even the thinnest shoes put me over 6’0.

Hell, if you have infinite time and infinite typewriters, you don’t even need the monkeys. You could probably depend on hail pressing those keys, the argument still stands. As long as there are inputs, ever.
