Did you also know there’s no talking crab in the original story by Hans Christian Andersen? Since we’re being faithful to the original.

“Some folks”

Who tf cares about Hunter Biden?

While it doesn’t contradict what you’re saying, apparently ”the provisions of his parole required him to surrender any electronic devices and passcodes." Wtf

It’s a cool idea, but has not worked well in practice. The plant referenced in the 2016 article you linked (Crescent Dunes) stopped operation in 2019 due to performance and cost issues. It appears to have restarted after the original owner filed for bankruptcy and sold the asset, but at a lower capacity.

Instructions unclear; I read to the tune of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

I thought the original post was satire - list all of the privacy issues, then throw in “Privacy <3” at the end. Seriously, almost every one of those points has a potential privacy issue.

Guess I was being too generous.

Ale 8 One

Somewhere between ginger ale and Mountain Dew, and caffeinated.

The Kona EV looks to be about $35,000 base price, and are offering $7,500 in rebates (through Hyundai, not IRA).

I’ve just been shopping around - I don’t know any of this for sure.

Good explanation. Crop rotation also decreases plant diseases and insect damage.

Is a sub/hoagie a sandwich? Bread is usually connected.

Oh God, why did I get involved

How do you transfer the food from the cutting board to the measuring cup?

You keep saying that, but it’s not an extra step. Weighing the food is in place of the volume measurement, not in addition.

Using volume measurement: start cutting broccoli. Add to a measuring cup until you get the right amount.

Using weight measurement: cut broccoli. Add to scale until you have the right amount (actually I would usually weigh out a single large piece, then chop it all at once - same amount of effort).

Or you place your bowl etc. on the scale and tare after each addition. Doesn’t work in all situations (e.g. pan on the stove) but is great for baking.

If your cup measurements are not the same you need new measuring cups.

In the US, sticks of butter have tablespoon measurements printed on the label, like this: https://www.errenskitchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/butter-sticks.jpg

Most people leave the sticks of butter in the fridge with the wrappers on. If you want X tablespoons of butter, you cut through the wrapper and butter at the right mark.

I’m not saying it’s an ideal system (I also prefer recipes that use weights) but it works.

A watt is a joule per second - they are not directly convertable.

No one else is bothered by Chris thinking the first syllable of his name is “Chri”?
