One of mine is when I finish wrapping my hair up tightly in the towel to dry after washing, I whack the towel where it’s tucked in, kind of like encouragement to stay tucked for the duration, kinda like a coach does when sending the kids onto the playing field.
While I don’t believe there is any way to cook broccoli that will make it taste good, I think this approach has the best chance. The problem, however, is that the oil and salt rather defeat the health benefits of eating the vegetables in the first place…
I believe there are some vegans who won’t eat figs because they absorb the body of a certain type of wasp. I forget the details, but the point is - it probably depends on the vegan
I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience
I would love this - except that my wife and I would want completely different ambient temperatures and I don’t want to sleep in a different pod from her.
Remarkable would be awesome if I could read my Kindle books on it. It seems to me that most e-ink tablets are good at either taking notes or ebooks, but none are really good at both…
If the main difference is the dual screen thing then it’s not much use for me. My main use case with sheet music is writing it, not reading for performance - so I’d actually prefer to work on just one screen at a time.
This is essentially the same as me. I owe around £40k on a mortgage and my wife has student debt that she’ll never have to repay. Other than that zero debt. I don’t do debt and I like that I’m, more or less, debt free (mortgage doesn’t really count imho.)
Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify - you use the safety valve to tell you when it’s ready? I’m assuming without the steam valve open at a ll since, I imagine, that would stop it getting fully up to pressure?
Is that (using the safety valve) consistently accurate? Safe?
I’ve heard other people saying this is how they do it and it seems to make sense and be the easiest approach, but I’ve also seen retailers saying to really not do this - although that might just be to cover themselves legally.
You think a co-op only has a tiny amount of democracy? I think it’s the best form of workers owning the means of production - the definition of socialism.
This is a relief for me. I’m out of beans and would’ve felt bummed not having coffee on international coffee day, but it didn’t matter that I missed it without knowing - if that makes sense?
my calculus teacher did little senior year jokey biographies of people as a big powerpoint on the last day. he was well loved, venerable, yet also slightly … odd. sharp, but vaguely weird. he separated people into basically informal friend groups [with multiple people on the same slide] and people who were the sort of weird...
The Indian media is filled with so much BJP/right wing propaganda right now. Especially on YouTube and Instagram. That stupid modi has brainwashed so many young Indians into his hateful ideology. Its hard to find a rational indian who thinks for themselves on social media....
I’m neither American or Indian (I’m from the UK), but I’m not sure I agree with your assessment of the US having a strong leftist movement. By most standards, what the US considers leftist is centre-right elsewhere. The democratic party in the US have more in common with the conservative party in the UK (or, at least, what the conservative party have been up until Brexit) than the Labour party.
I am Ganesh, an Indian atheist and I don’t eat beef. It’s not like that I have a religious reason to do that, but after all those years seeing cows as peaceful animals and playing and growing up with them in a village, I doubt if I ever will be able to eat beef. I wasn’t raised very religious, I didn’t go to temple...
It is close (pretty sure it’s 22nd), but I’m not sure there’s evidence that co-opting a pagan festival is what happened. It is a common assertion though.
Transporters work by de-assembling something (e.g. you) and re-assembling it somewhere else. What if, when you’re dis-assembled, you die, and the re-assembled version of you is essentially a copy? Then every time someone steps onto a transporter, their final thought before death is that they’ll end up beamed somewhere else....
Or, since we’re getting philosophical anyway, are you some sort of spiritual entity inhabiting your body and experiencing the physical world through it?
BTW - if that’s the case then the transporter in the original question is definitely a death machine.
I absolutely would. If it were a realistic option I’d mine my family to somewhere like Scotland, Iceland, Norway or Canada to get away from the unpleasantly hot summers we have here (relatively speaking - most people would probably not find it that hot.)
On the other hand, I’m pretty sure my wife would happily move to the Mediterranean for more heat…
This is the strange thing about Australia. If I ever went there I wouldn’t be at all concerned about meeting a black widow or those ones with the red stripe on their backs. In fact, if be interested. Respectful and careful, but interested.
If I meet one of these, however, if run screaming. And if I encountered that nest is have to burn the house down!
I was thinking about that when I was dropping my 6 year old off at some hobbies earlier - it’s pretty much expected to have learned how to ride a bicycle before starting school, and it massively expands the area you can go to by yourself. When she went to school by bicycle she can easily make a detour via a shop to spend some...
I am looking at getting one as my next phone when my Pixel 7 reaches EOL. Hopefully the Fairphones are still around by then and hopefully they get more support from custom ROMs. I know CalyxOS supports the Fairphone 4
I have a FP3 and I’ve been hugely disappointed with it. The fact that it’s repairable is only useful if the specs of the hardware are good enough to also last several years at a reasonable level of performance.
Also, some of the parts are rubbish - the prime example being the fingerprint sensor which always requires several attempts and then fails as often as not.
I knew I was getting a “budget” phone and I do still use it, but I had hoped it would be a better than it is. I feel like their business model is a huge missed opportunity in terms of upgrades and modularity. In theory, if they were doing it properly, why would they ever release a new model?
I definitely prefer parliamentary. As a Brit, though, I might be biased.
The power of the president largely lies in their support in the legislature anyway. If they have good support then they are too powerful (imho), if they don’t then they’re too weak.
The parliamentary system also has problems, of course, but, on balance, I much prefer it. I think the President tends to get far too much media focus as well; which, in turn, gives the impression that they’re more powerful/influential than they are.
