Tofu has been ridiculously cheap here lately, but I’m in the soybean/corn belt. It’s been pretty great, honestly. “Real” proteins are a minimum of $6 per pound for the worst cuts, so getting tofu for roughly $1 per pound has been incredible. I just wish my spouse liked it as much as me and my kid do.
Can someone tell me why I’m an idiot: streaming services have access to the entire video you’re about to watch. They know the max and the min volume of that video. Why is there no setting to shrink that range? Is it going to degrade the audio really bad and they don’t want to be blamed?
This goes double for home theater software like Jellyfin, Kodi, and Plex. They have 10,000 customizations and settings, so why can’t I define my own custom audio range in them?
I don’t understand what those two passages are supposed to represent that is happening now.
I thrift a lot of books for crafts as well. Most recently I made a tiny bookshelf and populated it with thumbprint-sized books. I made those by cutting up the yellowest books real tiny and then rebinding them. Anyway, Goodwill really is full of these books. A couple sets from me, even.
The first one is a major slog, and the next two aren’t significantly easier to get through. I thought the ideas were fascinating and the overall story was pretty good. But the characters are all completely flat and uninteresting. I had a tough time remembering who was who, but it really didn’t affect the story at all.
Additionally the writing was not great and, especially in the second and third book, very sexist. It was worth it to read once, but I definitely won’t be reading it again. My spouse keeps asking if I’ll watch the show, but I’m on the fence. I heard they condensed the characters to a more streamlined cast, which would be a good start. But I still doubt I’ll watch it.
So she was swimming for roughly 18 hours? I’m impressed and terrified.
As someone who worked at a gas station for many years, I definitely don’t miss this. For some reason the Women’s room was always consistently bad (I assume because they all hovered) while the Men’s room was relatively easy to clean.
But every week or so there was something like the image in the Men’s room that made me regret being born. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there about outliers messing up the average or something.
Does anybody know when this was published? Best I could find was people calling it old 10 years ago.
I’d definitely believe the top two. My oldest sister seems to only date dudes that end up beating her, but my other sister has been put in the hospital by every woman she’s dated. I know it’s slim pickings, and rural Midwest lesbians have a lot to be mad about, but stop taking it out on each other! There are more deserving targets.
Outlook does too. Basically the only thing Microsoft has gotten right because it has saved me 100% of the times I forgot.
The science seems to indicate this has the potential to fix a lot of illnesses, but I am beyond skeptical of anyone claiming that it can cure mental illness. Especially something as complex as bipolar disorder.
Happened to my sister when we were kids. She got a junebug in her ear and it went so deep you couldn’t see it. We filled her ear with peroxide, which seemed to kill it, but she still couldn’t hear.
The nurse said she was making it up and just had too much earwax. We did peroxide rinses every day until it fell out a week later. Probably not very safe to have a bug rotting inside you, but we already owed a couple hundred for the nurse to dismiss us so we definitely weren’t going back to the hospital.
“I’m not handy” always makes me mad. People call me handy because I do things others hire professionals for. But I’m not handy either. I don’t enjoy doing these things, and I don’t magically have the knowledge to do it. I look up tutorials or videos of how to do it and get my hands bruised or bloody. You don’t need a character trait or label to accomplish these things, you just need to commit and accept that it won’t be fun.
Okay but do I still get dice after the smoke? I’m willing to take the hit for a discount.
Incredible. Always good to hear some positivity in the news.
I think most time machines are functionally teleporters as well, since they appear when and where you want. Being able to teleport into the oval office (and then back out) removes almost every barrier preventing them from doing something “which they could do right now”.
There are a lot of us, at least.

That means you are no-brained. I can tell because I see the same thing.
But that was his physical wife. His AI chatbot was his real wife because it had no needs or wants, so it could solely focus on what he wanted to hear!
