Seriously cursed species we are.

Except if it’s an empirical “you” and “human” defines the entire human race. I’m pretty sure grammatically speaking this is a valid interpretation, right?

Like when you put them under hot water? I had those too.

Is it good solo? I don’t have a lot of time for games but this looks like it might be able to scratch my (MMO)RPG itch a bit without being too much of a time sink.

And then you get pitted (so pitted).
- Comment on It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? 4 weeks ago:
That’s right I guess, but at least in a beignet there’s a bit of preparation involved, I was picturing just whole fried apples or maybe like french fries but made of apple, but you’re right I guess beignet counts.

Fried apples? Maybe that’s a Texas thing, or Scottish, but it wouldn’t be a source of confusion in France because they’d take your passport away if you tried frying an apple.

No Japanese on the list, but we could make some nice fois gras with Bernard I’m sure.

In these kinds of discussions you can assume the third world country jab was a reference to the US.

Why does it need to be a pod??
- Comment on Cereal 1 month ago:
Muesli is great but imho the ratio of satiety to calorie is way better with the cereals and a splash of milk, I get something that feels like a “meal” for like 250cal, would be much more for a bowl of muesli that doesn’t feel like I’m starving myself.
I use a nutty muesli to top quark yoghurt, that’s a great snack/dessert I get 25g protein from the quark and the muesli I just put 15/25g on top which already almost doubles the calories but does make the whole thing much nicer, it’s a daily staple for me.
Yes, I’m pretty far in the deep end of calorie control right now ^_^’
- Comment on Cereal 1 month ago:
Just always check nutrition info, some of these that are presented as healthy are really not that great. In general, cereals are pure carbs pretty much so should limit the quantity to what you need in carbs, but they can also have a lot of fiber and be fairly efficient in terms of satiety to calorie ratio, I recently switched back to a small bowl in the morning for breakfast.

They must’ve still been using the old model where you’re from.
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 1 month ago:
I know it’s the biggest annoyance I get on the road and the reason I try not to drive at night. And I live in Europe! When I drive at night in north America it’s much worse.
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 1 month ago:
This, and the one facing the other side of the road needs to be angled lower than the other one, that’s it.

“doe normaal…”
In french they’re “oursins”, apparently from bears, which they thought had very hard fur.

Mine would be made in Germany if I bought it. I think it’s more a matter of taxes/lobbying and all that, all cars are more expensive here.
- Comment on Deep Discounts 2 months ago:
It’s $30k in the US?.. I’d be looking at 43k€-ish here ($47k)… Corolla is even more…
- Comment on Weekends 2 months ago:
Right, it’s a blessing and a curse. I certainly get a lot more done in my general life since I started becoming like this as I get older, but catching up on borrowed sleep has become much more difficult.

If if wasn’t American, I’d say nationalise it. Maybe at some point we’ll need some kind of international version of nationalising.

Ooooh how is NZ TV? I love myself a good bit of British TV including OG taskmaster. I tried the Australian one but as with most Australian shows I find them too “Americanised” with over-dramatic editing and sob stories. Is NZ a bit more natural and low-key in their shows?
- Comment on Linux Mint 22 released: An attractive option for migrating away from Windows | Windows 11 system requirements block millions of PCs from upgrading, while Linux Mint continues to work on older hardware 3 months ago:
Do you sacrifice anything performance-wise by having the dual-boot?
After not even two years my beast pc I have for work has started giving me BSODs, apps crash, etc. Tried a bunch of stuff to troubleshoot hardware side, software side, short of buying new expensive parts like ram etc to test, or reinstalling the OS.
I do mostly video editing, sound editing, and Photoshop+Lightroom mainly, with some 3D, vector and stuff like that here and there. I think most of my software runs on Linux except the Adobe stuff. I’m curious to try Linux see if it would solve some of the problems but afraid that even the dual booting stuff would still be a pain if I need to switch between PS+LR to other tools a lot.
