I can relate to not wanting to throw something away if you can just fix it, but I guarantee you will save yourself a lot of time and stress if you just go down to your local thrift shop with a kitchen section and pick one of the dozens of spatulas they will have for like $0.50.

The last thing you want is the mess and possible pain of your repaired spatula breaking under the stress of lifting a hot, oily food from the pan.

That annoying character in The Land Before Time is not named Sarah.

Her name is Cera. As in CERATOPS.

Oh fun, a real life prisoner's dilemma.

I bet we can all guess whether employers hold up their end of the bargain by reining in profits. Gotta make sure those shareholders get theirs.

Try tempura if you find yourself at a sushi place. You'll probably like it

YSAK - Very, very, very few of the people complicit in this industry ever had any real consequences for perpetuating a system of child abuse that lead to the destruction of so many lives going back to at least the late 60's. Most of these monsters simply moved on to other things after their institutions were finally shut down.

Some were even publicly lauded by their communities and powerful leaders for their "contributions" to society.

... What is antisemitic about an octopus?

Any company taking 2FA seriously will either compensate you for the requirements to fulfill that security, or provide you with the devices necessary. I used to work at Duo. I currently work for another company that does more or less the same thing. Your company's security team will do whatever it takes to get you compliant because not doing that is on them and not you.

It's honestly wild for a company to allow an employee to be on the verge of locked out of critical services and not be resolving that on their own. They have the metrics in duo to be able to see that you have no viable device to 2FA with.

How much of that is because there just aren't as many left for them to kill? If they started out at non-combatant numbers above SIXTY PERCENT that means they were killing more women and children than anyone else...

Eventually that pesky problem of killing non-combatants just fixes itself when there's none left to kill, doesn't it?

If there's one thing I've learned having and caring for many cats over the last 30 years, they've all got their quirks. Some were over eaters that would throw up almost daily. Some would be grazers and do just fine with their bowls full all day and night. No answer is going to be just right for every cat.

If you have cats that eat at different paces, you might just have to feed them on a schedule in separate locations. That was the only way we could handle it when we had the same situation.

Elmlea plant based double cream

We've been drinking heavy cream/double cream/whipping cream in our coffee for years but started trying out some plant based alternatives to a lot of our foods a few years ago. The only one we kept going with was this cream. Exact same cost as the dairy version, and tasted exactly the same.

I wish I could speak towards other brands, this was the only one we tried and stuck with it. I think it might be UK only though...

Imagine unironically using the words "good thing" to describe a number of civilian casualties above 0, let alone above half of total casualties.

That's wild man.

Civilian casualties of war aren't just a statistic. Those are real people that just wanted to live happy lives. Less than 1% of any number over 100 is a number I'm not happy about, and anyone with a heart should be furious about the number of civilians dying in Gaza. Especially when those numbers are such a high percentage. If you can't fight a war without that kind of casualty count, then you either don't fight the war or you accept that what you are doing is a genocide, not a war. IDF has very clearly made their choice on this.

Ok, just in case anyone else had the same thought, this is not the podcaster and oldest brother of Travis and Griffin McElroy. This is just a dude that does sick commissioned art.

Also should be noted, if you took that 1 mil and just put it in a bunch of high-interest savings accounts, you'd be averaging a little over $3k/month just in the interest earned.

It does make me wonder, at what point is the guaranteed $x a month a better call than one lump 1 mil?

Never take time for granted - expect you'll have less of it than you want or need.

It can really help with getting priorities straight - whether that's with work or with your personal life. Where is it exactly you want to spend the most valuable and limited resource you have? Your time?

This is just normal Chicago driving lol

I've heard there have been studies that indicate that in some part modern allergies are our bodies directing an evolved immune response that we once needed for all the parasites we constantly carried. They gave parasites to people that had certain food allergies and suddenly their food allergies were just straight up gone.

Honestly, homebrewing becoming a mainstream hobby would be pretty great, I'm always interested in trying a beer someone else brewed and it would probably make sourcing ingredients a lot easier if there was enough of a demand to necessitate a local shop in my area.

Broccoli and lutefisk, why do you ask?

So NausicaƤ?

I appreciate this is progress and on a greater scale than nearly any other state can boast, but 17 years still seems like an eternity when this year has seen how many of the record highest temperatures for the last several centuries?

It just seems like even the most progressive policies we are able to enact are scheduled as though we have decades to spare to get things on track. We don't have that kind of time to spare.

I am a lazy launderer and my partner has loads of clothes of various fabrics.

My trick that has never let me down:

wash everything on cold

When rotating to the dryer, indiscriminately pick out any tops that don't feel like regular "t shirt" fabric, pick out all bottoms that aren't obviously cotton, pick out all wool, pick out all dresses, button up shirts, skirts, or "full body" garments as regardless of what fabric they feel like they tend to be more sensitive to the heat.

The rest can go in the dryer, but hang dry all the stuff you picked out.

I might end up hang drying more than I need to, but it beats the hell out of checking the tag on every individual garment.

Ah hell naw, wassup dog?

Is this the bite of 87?

Over/under on how many days til they start bombing Al-Mawasi?

I heard he pees his pants because he likes the warm feeling on his legs.

Watched recently with my 8 year old and while it's certainly still a justifiable classic, there's still some things that are pretty problematic in this movie that made it a challenging watch with a kid...

My partner's best friend helped pen the legislation for this and specifically took it on because she knows how much this shit pisses my partner off lol

We used it for things like cheese sauce. Never tried actually whipping it, but for savory meals it did the trick just right

Looking forward to this, my partners best friend helped pen this rule so it's been a hot topic in the house for quite a while.

Plenty of adult jokes and themes that toe the line, but subtle enough to go over the head of any kid that doesn't already get it.

I've gotta rep one of my all time favorite party games to this day (ported to PC) Worms Armageddon. They've had several sequels, but I believe that was the last one to use that particular physics engine, and every game since has just felt a bit... Hollow?

Also +1 to Paper Mario - S-Tier RPG, best of the whole series IMHO, tho the GameCube sequel TTYD is deserving of a very close second. I wish so bad they'd make a return to badges and acquiring new buddies and buddy upgrades throughout the game. The oragami king battle mechanics did not do it for me, and with it being the core mechanic of the game just soured my whole experience despite the rest of the game being pretty solid.

There is a light af the end of the tunnel for Joe and the rest of Elan in this story. It's not a perfect happy ending, but there's plenty of positive by the end.

Oh man, I feel your pain... I was in general customer-facing support for three different enterprise security/identity service providers from 2014 until a year ago. That shit was torturous sometimes. Now with that third of those three I'm the dedicated guy for just two of our larger customers and it's fuckin great compared to that. Always dealing with the same handful of very very competent people is so refreshing.

Of water, right?

Right?

Is bottom left's name "Love Chaos"? Lmaoo

Spot on with Perfect Dark. It's one fault imo is that it was trying to do almost too much for the 64. Even as an expansion pak game, the graphics that the 64 was capable of could just not render the necessary detail for a lot of stuff to be easy to see/recognize.
