Have you identified what about cooking really gets under your skin?

I love the results of cooking, even so it took a LONG time for me to not resist cooking as much as I used to. I still find it a challenge to motivate myself to do it sometimes.

For me the ambiguity and keeping track of where I am is especially challenging, so any recipe I keep gets written in a way that works for me - it’s essentially a modified mis-en-place.

List of ingredients in the order they’ll be used. Anything that appears twice (like 2 Tablespoons oil, divided) gets divided on the ingredients list so I know what goes where.

Then directions/sequencing, with each major step clearly separated from the previous step. Trying to read a paragraph while cooking is problematic at best. I also like to number the steps so it’s easier to remember where I am.

For everything, ingredients and steps, I tack on the time it should take. Then I know in advance what to expect.

I think overall just planning and knowing exactly what you’re going to do when you step in the kitchen is key - otherwise we kind of flop around.

Hahaha, I think someone didn’t get your humor

Mac never leaves the LAN.

The switch in your router knows what to do with your MAC - because that’s hardware level communication.

Even your machine’s IP doesn’t leave your network, your router tracks which interface your IP is on, and keeps a table of local IP:Port mapped to Destination IP:Port on the external interface.

And when you really dig into IP routing, I think the router system actually maps IP to interface, and doesn’t even know about MAC addresses because that’s a layer 2 functionality and routing is layer 3 - so it merely hands a routed packet to the appropriate interface and the switch then maps IP:MAC. But it’s been a long time since I dove into router programming internals.

Really depends where you are.

I’ve lived/worked all over the US. Since Walmart is everywhere, you get to see how different regions behave, or even different areas of a city.

I have 2 Walmarts nearby, one is like this, the other isn’t.

And interestingly, the major grocery store next to the police station (so not the best part of town) is usually pretty good about carts. And I suspect the ones we see left out are because the wheel locks there are notorious for locking for no apparent reason.

Blocking JS will increase fingerprint accuracy, but…

I can’t imagine browsing with all js allowed by default anymore. It’s painful.

With NoScript and Ublock my browsing experience is just so much better - stupid videos don’t autoplay, the screen doesn’t do weird reflow once it fully loads, etc.

That would be meaningless for translating to anything else, such as the time zone where any participants are.

Which is why everything uses UTC/GMT and offsets for local time

You mean OP’s?.

Because it is. Right out of the gate he doesn’t define what he means.

Are we saying defend in the legal sense when accused of a crime? Because damn right I want that person properly defended against government accusations. Otherwise we’re just behaving like a mob, and that goes nowhere anyone wants to be.

Oh shut up

Oh, trusting the WHO? You should probably read up on some of the psuedo-science they peddle.

Is alcohol good for us? Depends on how you define that.

But in the end, everything you’ve said has fuck all to do with OPs question, you just wanted to get on your high horse, preach and condemn.

Tell me again how you’re perfect?

Carbonation enables the digestive system able to metabolize alcohol faster. So a carbonated beer may peak your blood alcohol faster.

Alcohol of any kind is a carb, a fairly simple one at that.

But there’s definitely more volume to a beer, and I’m pretty confident it’s carb count is way higher.

There’s also other things in beer, while whiskey is nearly all alcohol and water.

I don’t think new stuff goes to microfiche, and the old stuff has probably mostly been scanned by how and just sits in an archive somewhere.

Of course I’m sure that depends on the size of the library.

Never worked for me, which explains your confusion.

Best part is all these payment methods, including checks incur the same processing fees since 2006 with the Check21 regulations.

This made all transactions - debit card, check, transfer, function the same way through the same processing.

So a check genuinely costs them more - from not charging thebfee, to requiring at least some manual oversight.

All very well put.

I wonder if you also find that media painfully predictable, especially at your age given your experience. (😁)

I couldn’t stand most popukar shows when I was 20 - they were transparently emotional bait, and that just isn’t compelling to me.

I suspect OP is reacting to that some - the more popular a media is, the less complex it’s going to be - that’s just fundamental. And when it’s insufficiently complex it appears the same as any other pop thing.

This is especially noticeable with music.

From the emotional angle, ADHD’ers generally have a less functional emotional gap between an experience and internal emotional reaction than a neurotypical. It doesn’t feel good watching such claptrap.

Do you really think no one else was working on such things?

Keep in mind the US had a demonstrated monopoly on atomic weapons for 4 years. They could’ve easily threatened the entire world to capitulate to them, and shut down the Soviet Union’s research.

What do you think would’ve happened if Japan had gotten it first, or Stalin? I can guarantee Japan would have used their advantage ruthlessly.

Surprisingly low for SF - that’s a common price all over the place these days.

Which is why I don’t go to such places anymore.

I just say “no”

4.99

Same with other super cheap drinks like iced tea, soda, etc.

Fuck em. I refuse to pay those exorbitant prices for your shittily brewed iced tea and coffee.

I didn’t mind paying a buck for shitty diner coffee. We had a deal - you serve cheap-ass shitty coffee for a buck, free refills, I make it tolerable with creamer, and that’s that.

Now you wanna make a killing on something shitty that I know exactly how much it costs? Fuck you.

I used to love to go to diners, but the way they’ve raised prices in the last 10 years or so, nope. I’m done.

Having worked in restaurants I have insight into how the costs work. I want you to be successful, but not when you’re gouging me.

Last diner breakfast I had was $50 for 2 people. Wtf? That’s 10x what I can make it for at home.

So as these places go tits up, they have no one to blame but themselves.
