As someone with severe ADHD, this is every book for me.

Well then how the hell do you apply for a job or log in to a website you haven’t been to in a while? It is impossible to avoid these captchas.

They started requiring the use of motherboards with a TPM. Which is compete and utter bullshit because you need to disable the chip to dual-boot, yet Windows 11 will run for several months at a time with the chip disabled before it complains and forces you to temporarily turn it back on again. So requiring it for “security” is just an excuse to force you to buy new hardware.

My only problem with it is that it’s boring. Literally Shower Thoughts: The Website (featuring Politics).

Supposedly there are people you can subscribe to to see some actual news and get away from all those boring text posts, but I can’t find them and don’t know where to look. I even used one of those websites that subscribe you to groups of people en-masse to help get you started, but that just made things worse. Now my feed is full of opinions from people I’ve never heard of, know nothing of, and couldn’t care less about.

I’m sorry but I just don’t understand the appeal of this whole Twitter/Twitter clone thing.

I always click skip on the AI-generated ones because none of the objects are real, therefore none of them are bicycles or traffic lights or whatever.

Another thing that pisses me off is the fact that the rider isn’t considered part of the motorcycle. This is going to someone killed when the inevitable scenario comes up where a robotaxi hits a motorcyclist’s arm making a pass, or fails to see them completely because part of their bike was obscured from view, despite their body being clearly visible.

Look, all I’m saying is that America has fish and chips too. They don’t call it “fish and fries”. No need to dumb things down.

Definitely cause your hint isn’t helping.

Depends on the flow rate, but most likely 1 if the tap is running fast. Otherwise I have no idea.

Also, what’s with these comments? What’s so special/clever about this pic?

With a name like that, he better be famous for Christmas soundtracks.

Okay. So? What makes him important enough to have a statue, though?

What’s next, dedicating statues to chess players?

Ironically you just made it more confusing. Americans know that fries are chips and chips are crisps in England. Just call them what they’re called there; most people will know what you’re talking about.

Who is this Ronaldo guy, and why is he so important that he gets his own statue?

I keep hearing his name everywhere, but he just looks like a football player to me… What makes him so special?

Ideal temperature for killing bacteria is more of a spectrum than a hard set number. 165°F is the USDA recommendation because it’s idiot-proof. Guarantees that all bacteria will be instantly killed.

But if you pull the bird at 165°F, you’ve already overcooked the meat and dried out all the juices. Personally I take my poultry out at 150°F, let it sit and naturally rise to 155-157°, and so long as it stays at or above 155 for more than 90 seconds, it’s perfectly safe to eat. The number is more like 45 seconds IIRC but I double it just to be safe. Been doing it this way for over a decade and it’s never gotten anyone sick.

Well I’m glad that you’ve found a way to reuse the same ingredients several days in a row, but the GF and prefer to have variety in our diets. By the time comes around that I have second use for the ingredients I bought, they’ve already gone bad. We got sick of wasting so much food.

Been there, done that. Produce doesn’t freeze well at all. It just turns soggy and mushy. It’s a non-option but thanks for trying.

Look, all I’m saying is that sometimes I just want to buy a little bit of parsley or cilantro for a dish, but can’t. I gotta buy the entire bundle and waste most of it. And that’s just one such example I can think of on top of my head.

Did you know that refrigerators don’t stop food from going bad, they just slow the process? And before you mention the freezer: not everything can be frozen. Like most produce, for example.

Even with a fridge, most of the groceries the SO and I buy end up going bad before we can use all of the ingredients. It’s cheaper to just eat out most of the time.

Yeah seriously, the “cOoK aT hOmE” crowd really annoys me sometimes. Unless you only buy non-perishables, more often than not it’s just not economically practical for one or two people. Grocery stores are optimized for families.

Also, modern OSes are designed to fill as much of your RAM as possible. Windows does it, Android does it; pretty sure Linux and MacOS does too. The number you’re looking at only shows the RAM usage by currently running processes. Unused RAM is wasted RAM, so your OS will fill as much of it as possible with prefetched data so that your machine will be more responsive when you actually need to use the data that was stored in advance for you.
