Unrelated, but I fucking hate headlines that say shit like “this mom’s son.”

Congee specifically, I would count as a porridge, but the thickness can be easily adjusted by adding more water or broth, or by simmering it for a shorter time.

Depends what you count as soup. Congee is cheap to make, dense, and nutritious.

You can buy food-grade paraffin wax for less than $10 a pound if you’re happy with plain, non-fancy candles. Wicks are a pennies each if you buy in bulk. Most craft stores would carry them.

If you want scented candles, you can add essential oils to the melted wax.

You might also want some type of mold release to make cleanup of your container easier.

Seriously, you think nobody is sentimental about The Brave Little Toaster?

Lingua franca has nothing to do with French.

My ISP would give you like 10 MB to build a personal website. You’d log in to the FTP server, and it would take you to your personal directory. From there, you could “cd …” and end up in the parent directory and access everybody’s data.

My bank has “removed” the mobile version of the banking website. It’s technically still there, so it can still be used, but you need to know the full address for it or keep it bookmarked. The main page’s link to the mobile banking page now takes you to another page that tells you it no longer exists and to use the app instead.

It’s the defence’s job to argue that chain of custody was broken and that the evidence is sketchy at best and sow doubt in its validity. The gun was found in his bag, after the initial search, after the cop had brought the bag to the police station. Not on his person at the time of arrest. There’s definitely reasonable doubt there. That’s a significant piece of evidence that they may be able to paint as unreliable.

Why do kids like you always have to make things generational??

The irony of this question is painful.

You just complained about what younger people do, and then you complained about being called out for it bevause someone “made it generational.”

You made it generational.

I’m always shocked how fast accessing the filesystem and copying files between phone and PC is via KDE Connect compared to doing it via USB. At work, I often have to take pictures with my phone and copy them to PC, and it’s always a tedious affair. Loading a folder in Windows takes forever when it has tons of pictures in it. At home, my phone automatically connects to my PC when it’s on wifi, and accessing a folder on my phone is the same as accessing a local folder.

KDE Connect can probably do this.

If anyone deserves a tip for exceptional service, it’s those Etsy witches.

There’s still a layer of abstraction there. Since it requires Wine to run, it wouldn’t be able to run itself in the future unless it’s aware that it’s being run in Wine. Then it would need to set up a way to launch itself via Wine.

Depends on the filters. Brita have two types of filter, one of which filters lead out of water. I would argue that makes the water healthier.

It’s odd because on PC I can post there on VPN, but on mobile I can’t.

Besides being painted in reflective road paint, which these ones are, what else would cause a pedestrian to be run over?

As long as it looks like a crosswalk, and drivers can see it, I’m not sure what else you would need.

If people aren’t property, why would damaging property be so severe?

Sorry in advance for defending the concept of defence of property. It’s not that I think it should be that way, but currently it is.

Property can easily be equated to either work or status. In today’s society, we work to earn our property. Damaging property is then damaging work, or at least the value of the work already done.

On the other end, status is something we already know that the elite value above all else, so it makes sense that attacking someone’s status is going to get punished.

So it’s not so much that people are property, but that harm to property is harm to its owners.

The 3 ways to make money in gaming are to a) be exceptionally good at games, b) have an entertaining personality, or c) do something that nobody else does.

For a) either you’re good enough to make it in esports, or you’re good enough that people want to watch you stream. For b) gaming is really just a small part of what brings people in. c) might be doing things like challenges or other niche gaming related stuff.

Game testing is a shit job. It’s incredibly tedious and the pay sucks.

If your goal is to work in game design and you want to use that as a way to get your foot in the door, that’s one thing. But the career of game testing is much less interesting than gamers might expect.
