What’s this got to do with libs? Comparing TikTok or other Chinese goods to a literal bomb doesn’t make sense, but whatever.

Plain white basmati rice.

One cup rice. If it’s not washed, wash it.

2 1/4 cups water.

1 heaping teaspoon salt.

Put rice, salt, and water in pot.

Bring to boil. Stir a little to keep rice from sticking too much.

Soon as it boils, take off heat, put heat to low, then put pot back on heat and put a lid on it.

~ 20 minutes later, check. Should not be any water in the bottom of the pot. If no water, eat!

Oh, totally this; but not just car stuff, it can be home stuff too. Just got slapped with a fat HVAC refrigerant refill. I had no idea this shit was so expensive. Over $2k for a recharge.

user replaceable battery?

I’m no apple fan, but some of these features don’t really mean much, like the screen refresh rate, data transfer rate, or codec support. Pretty small subset of users are going to care about these, the vast majority of people just browse, play simple games, and maybe run a map or spotify or whatever.

That said, the 16 is built to use Apple’s AI, and that’s pretty much reason enough for me to not want to go anywhere near it. I’ll buy an older model before I support this AI crap.

That’s kinda astonishing. I mean, I knew there were a lot of bots, but that many? That’s crazy. How did they filter for bots?

I get 5 weeks.

In the US.

Thanks to a union.

And I get paid the hours on top of regular pay at the end of the year if I don’t use the vacation. Nobody gives you a second thought if you use your vacation. Zero pressure not to fuck off for a week or more.

Go Union.

This is true.

I dropped a Bratwurst when I was stacking them on the plate to bring inside off the grill.

Wasn’t going to wash it off, it was covered in dirt. It was the dog’s lucky day when I called her to come collect it.

Now, every single time she gets let out she has to check the brat-drop-spot and make sure another hasn’t materialized in her absence.

I quit playing that years ago. It was overrun with cheats and got sick of players getting kills at distances with zero bloom/deviation that literally should have been impossible.

Maybe they’ll ban a bunch, not that it will affect my gameplay any.

Now if they could just find a way to ban people using Xim/Chronos devices on 2042 that would be great. Too many people getting no-miss headshots at 90m with an SMG. I know there are some legit uses, but lately in TDM in particular it has become unplayable for several matches in a row because of players using aim assist devices.

Combined Tylenol and ibuprofen is probably your best bet otc.

Like Motrin.

No excuses, I use FB. I’ve turned my feed into mostly hobby and other interest groups so that it’s more like reddit or the Fediverse. I viciously “x” any ads I see as soon as they show up. Seems it takes a bit for FB to look at my account and try to tailor me some ads so I get a week give or take of ad-free fb. It’s actually a useful social media if you force it to conform to what you want and make it hard for FB to abuse you.

Tried Threads, don’t like the format, and the comments and questions are every bit as stupid as FB reels or YT shorts. Insta sucks.

Yep. So much so that we have 3. One cheap resin, one older FDM, and a Bambu FDM. The only regret…sorta…is the resin. Shoulda got a better one. I mean, it works, but it is super fiddly and finicky. I think a better model would have been worth spending on. We print costume parts, but I also design and print all sorts of stuff for things like headset hangers, cup holders, toolbox organizers, parts bins, etc.

Well, one is used as a massive government data collection tool, another does the same thing for private corporations and is profitable.

Profit. That’s why many refuse to make it standard.

Not widely known or uncommon is what they’re trying to say. Used lowkey kinda wrong.

Linux is great, everyone should use it! No, not you, we don’t have the software you want to use like windows. Why doesn’t everyone use Linux? It’s great!

If everyone used Linux it would be the exact same user base as windows.

Well it’s not wrong.

I switched over my steam and epic games to my Linux install and there’s plenty of games I can’t play because of the anti-cheat or other issues. Can’t install my EA games at all.

Still made the switch and hoping things will catch up as time goes on.

What about the exception-makers. They agree…sorta, but always have to carve out a little spot for them to be more right, or you wrong, in an often irrelevant way.

Don’t be stubborn. I think you can intellectually understand there’s a big difference between the two.

There’s a difference between some photos and keeping an entire grungy room as a shrine.

I tried to spread it out. I don’t know if Ike was pro-civil rights, but he was certainly an advocate of investing in the country. His battleship speech certainly made him seem like an advocate of social programs.
