I wish I had a local bakery like that. We have a few pastry shops, but unsweet bread is harder to come by.

What about their fanatical devotion to the pope?

This is the only true skibidi, fight me.

Part of the beauty of Linux is the variance, though. There can be strength in diversity.

IANAL, but I think it’s because balls are fun to play with.

Your employer pays a lot of taxes on your behalf.

That’s money they would have paid you anyway, and you would have to pay in taxes. Your employer is not out any extra cash, they’re just saving you the trouble.

Pizza Hut made over $6 billion last year, you’d think they could afford to pay their drivers.

Lighting. You want your overhead or main lights to be bright enough to see clearly, but low enough so as to not be overpowering.

Also, discreet points of light distributed around REALLY amps things up. Use some gentle light to highlight a photo or painting, put a lamp on a table, a tchotchke on a shelf that is lighted or hides a small light to add a soft glow to the shelf it’s on… these kinds of light add warmth and character to a space easily and cheaply, and if you can manage to have them all accessible via your favorite digital assistant, power and dimming can be convenient as well.

This is a good video, though, you’ll get caught up, smell the BS for a minute, he entertained, and then not have to think about it ever again.

If you’re so inclined to watch it, that is. Todd does good work.

Not only that, but iirc they are packaged in liquid form and it solidifies into flat sheets as they are pressed together.

I think most Americans do. Or at least it was taught that way in school when I was growing up. Maybe it’s because of the way we speak dates, like “October 23rd” or “May 9th, 2005”.

Regardless, the only true way to write dates is YYYY-MM-DD.

Pop ups are annoying on a traditional computer, but on touch interface devices they are pure evil.

Someone also makes one of those “page-a-day” calendars with instructions for a new plane every day, typically with designs printed on them so the planes look cool after being folded.

Reeces did that many years ago.

Easy come, easy go…

It won’t be truly full circle until someone finds a stock photo of beans stroganoff.

I think any of the books Mary Roach would suit you. They are easy to read, yet are brimming with science explained in a fascinating and unintimidating way.

Her book Stiff is prolly my favorite. It explains what happens to the body starting with death, and covers medical, forensic, and funerary subjects (among others). Fascinating.

Chicken and dumplings, or French onion with smoked Gruyère.

Do you prefer it young, or with some age on it?

I’m not familiar with this. Is it related to the guitfiddle?
