  • Incidentally, the pure chocolate chip cookie is most often sold as American Cookie!

    But the cookie clicker was a pure associative jump I have to admit - it wasn’t my first contact with chocolate cookies :)

    But traditionally the hike baked cookies have a huge variety especially around Christmas. There really are several items that I personally would not count as cookie but which are called that regionally apparently. Vanillekipferl from the south or Kokosmakronen from I have no idea where.


  • “cookie” I assume is not easily translatable I assume just to be optimistic about the “not easy” part.

    At least in German, the direct translation “Keks” can be cream filled monstrosities with nuts on top and … I’m going shopping, see you later!

    But the run-of-the-mill cookie that cookie clicker made famous … Yeah, an oven, a bowl and if you’re lazy an electric mixer.

    I’ll estimate that anyone will need a maximum of four tries and they’ll get it.

    • The first because the cookies get too dry or burned
    • The second try because they thought they mixed it wrong and deviated unnecessarily from the recipe.
    • The third one because they realize that the dough is tasty and … gone?!
    • Delicious cookies.


  • Can’t tell you about the first half of your question as I’m not familiar with the American doctrine.

    And before someone jumps into discussions: I’m relying knowledge, not conviction - if you have more insights, please add them. But if you try to convince me that it’s wrong or try to point out inherent inconsistencies: you’ll add nothing for me - preaching to the choir and so on …

    the second part is actually straight forward: Jews in the Bible didn’t believe in JC either - by definition.

    The reason why the Jewish faith has a special role for Christians lies in the old testament, not the new one: they are “God’s chosen people” and everything resolves around then bring pampered by God, both in the positive sense as the favorite but also in the negative sense as the one’s who receive the stick more.

    Speculation part: This unique position is very present to all Christians, but especially the more fundamental ones. Combine this with a history of mistreatment, where jews were blamed for everything that went wrong in your neighborhood and you have a good mix of the enduring, suffering chosen ones.

    Note: Israel as state is then a completely different discussion.





  • (edit: all of below stuff is only for not being on the same network. After that it gets … messy)

    Oh boy! First: Thank you - I thought to briefly validate my knowledge and understanding before answering and went down a rabbit hole :D this is my current grasp, happy to be corrected!

    First: Most is actually not even distro agnostic but also OS agnostic:

    Most modern wifi devices when you tell them to “connect to WiFi” radiates, literally, what it can do and what kind of connection it wants. E.g. im a wifi device with WPA3 capabilities and this is my Mac address to answer me.

    OS specific is the question if your Mac address gets scrambled or not. For both iwd and networkmanager, which both support it, have it turned off by default. There is a big advantage to being able to be recognizable on friendly networks after all.

    Now comes the part I wasn’t aware:

    Even your hostname is often still broadcasted publicly! This happens during the DHCP handshake - and many devices don’t support apparently existing standards to address this gap. It’s all about securing the first frames where devices align on communication standards, encryption way, etc. This seems to still be quite public.

    Android was easier (and iOS seems to be the same but I didn’t bother with that more): Same as Linux but more aggressive by default: Mac scrambling all the time while searching for networks ,DHCP uses obscure strings as hostnames, etc.

    Fun fact: even those have stable max addresses once connected. Again, getting the same DHCP lease and being able to whitelist or recognized by the network seems to have more upsights than I was aware of.


  • You have two paths from my perspective.

    The one with less chance of success: convince them:

    Look up tech developments from the youth time of your parents.

    I’ve been through a couple of decades by now and yes, jobs vanish - but rarely instantly and rarely without a very VERY clear shift.

    My parents for example still saw people lighting the gas lights in the streets when they were young. But gas lights vanished more and more, its clear that this job will be gone.

    The job as driver is “dead” since oder a decade by now and lorry drivers are searched more today than in the last two years where I’m at.

    But most likely you won’t convince them with “you’re wrong”. Instead you can go a different route: CS not as “programmer” but as “master of the machine the people who will make other people’s job obsolete”. The ones who understand the magic of the silicone rock.

    In short: you’re not studying to become a programmer like so many other fools, you’re studying to make them obsolete, to be the part of the future who’s coming out on top.

    The coal industry was dying but the smart ones jumped onto oil, or some other bullshit like it. In short: figure out what your parents believe the future will look like and spotlight the CS part in their world view. Change your own perspective to whatever theirs is, make them feel understood and seen - and he’ll them from this viewport to see why it’s the right choice for you.

    Keep in mind that they’re doing this because they care for you! Never forget that :)


  • That’s sich a Mac answer it’s unbelievable.

    Describing “A project aimed to be agnostic of it’s environment” as a design mistake and not a inherent flaw of the OS is… Just wow.

    Remember in this thread it’s about the pro and con of Macos as interference hardware. This is a major flaw which comes baked into the hardware. I tested it and find it an unacceptable limitation. It’s important for others to know.

    To state “containerization is the issue” though… Just wow.



  • All kids including my own match exactly what was said: they’re Absolutely shitty judges (all on the younger end of your range and even below though! That might influence this quite a bit but “this taste bad, I don’t like it” because of a bad night is not shocking, about a food favorite.

    It’s about consistency that such a show would need and that’s tough with kids to get - it’s more gambling if you have no idea what your benchmark will be.

    Alternatively you could lean fully into it and the contestants could have a brief interview with each judge before each round.

    Now that I think about I like your idea better and better, just needs a few details to lean into the chaos kids would bring!

    Talk about a 180 … And I’m supposed to be the “stable adult”.




  • I prevent it but spraying a bit of the acetone into the tip after use.

    And the screw is on the Pistole (the wheel at the rear end, looks a bit different on mine than on OPs photo but same principle).

    In theory the acetone is not even needed because it has a ball bearing tip that is airtight and that prevents the drying but I never tested the concept.


  • Used both a lot in my renovation. I’d never go without pistol again.

    A) it helps control the amount way better B) you can just shut it off and use the rest later on without bothering with sealing it airtight. C) better handling and weight distribution

    The pistol addresses your main concern. The can stays on the pistol and is good to go even for weeks.

    And the cleaning part doesn’t matter to be honest. I spent a few bugs on the cleaning spray (basically alcohol/acetone solution as you’ve guessed) which can be easily sprayed. After use I spray a bit into the opening of the pistol.

    I like to have it available in case I fuck something up or want to protect a surface, would even spend the money without the pistol.

    The pistol costed like 15 Euro and saved me several hours by now.

    The cleaning spray I would get even without a pistol just because it’s so handy to quickly dissolve foam.
