holy moly that is some serious ice cream hardware.

i prefer gelato to ice cream, does your ninja really mix it so different as to clearly make one or the other?

truth.

truth.

have you tried using an immersion blender to make an airy iced pudding?

I haven't, but i like banana ice cream and just thought of this last week, and I've been obsessed with the idea for days.

you might have some soul searching to do!

best of luck!

[–] Varyk 2 points 6 days ago

hahaha, that's solid

don't fuck your students, that's disgusting on many levels.

Especially if you are admitting to having sex with children, @[email protected]

I do nothing inappropriate with my students, sexual or otherwise, and you should stop whatever you are doing to those children, and turn yourself in.

You and they are going to need a lot of counseling because of your illness and selfishness.

[–] Varyk 1 points 6 days ago (6 children)

that's right. i didn't abuse medication like you did.

Why are you proud of your substance abuse?

"This is not about "living outside of the system."

that's a simple solution to what you are complaining about.

"tried to dictate to me what my own opinion is."

you can have all the opinions your want, I'm correcting your factual errors.

"How many times do I have to tell you to go fuck yourself?"

none, that's your shame and anxiety encouraging you to lash out repeatedly.

good on you, there's always going to be a better world to fight for

about living outside of the system you are complaining about.

about not resigning yourself to being a squealing, melodramatic pauper.

I'm not telling you what your opinion is, I'm telling you that you are wrong by complaining that there's no way to not contribute to these billionaires.

you are factually incorrect. as I said multiple times, yhere are simple solutions to that problem.

that worries you because your coping mechanism apparently is to complain that nothing can be done until you perish, beckoning for others to join you in vain.

great, i hope you understand that your list contributed to my point, rather than being an independent thought of your own.

Your list is inadequate and unhelpful with regards to the real world, so i offered practical ways one can thrive while not contributing to the system you're complaining about.

we're working together.

 

What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

when tax time comes around, you fill out an IRS form called the FEIE, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.

Check the "physical presence test" box, fill out your total income for that year, then write down the dates that you were not in the United States and where you were.

10 minutes, one extra form, no income taxes.

This is one of my most consistently used life hacks.

key rings are extremely durable, perfectly shaped to pull on, better than regular zipper tabs most of the time, keyrings are the perfect replacement.

Anytime I see a good key ring, I pop it into my tools pocket for the next failed zipper tab.

I buy all of my bags second hand because if they are missing a zipper tab, they're deemed useless and sold for a couple of dollars even if they're otherwise brand new.

If I need a bag of a specific type, I go around the thrift stores, find the exact bag/suitcase I want that's new but missing a couple zipper tabs, and after I buy it and take it home, throw a couple key rings on and have exactly the bag I want.

I've actually made more than a few connections with people because their suitcases broke and I had an "aha" fix ready to go for them.

Maybe the least relevant title to content?

or maybe the title is lost in context since every character is the most unlike they have every been in the series and this book is all about coming to terms and impressing upon the naive that the only choices left to make in war are terrible choices.

spoilers

everyone dies or you find a few more soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves.

It's pretty difficult watching the game pedantically and repeatedly explain to their parents that the life they thought they had is gone and people are dying and getting hurt. and you can't choose the moral high road unless you're willing to sacrifice others.

and the Animorphs have to hold the line on this reasoning because they're the only ones who really understand where the line is.

This is the controversial (as I remember it) decision to recruit disabled kids to be soldiers, because they're sure that the yeerks don't want any physically disabled bodies.

The ending really shocked me, I figured Cassie was going to kill Tom so that Jake didn't have to, and they could recover the morphing cube, I completely forgot that she bit Jake to slow him down and allow Tom to get away with the morphine cube because of her HUNCH that letting him have the morphing cube with the right thing to do.

that is a brassy hunch.

I've been looking for a simple solution to keep my wallet, phone, and Bluetooth headset dry and secure while I'm swimming, but every waterproof bag was either very tiny, very difficult to open and push things into because of the tacky plastic coating, or expensive and only useful for one purpose.

After scoping out the options at sports stores, I realized I already had a very strong, lightweight polyester day bag so I went bought a large round screw-top container with a rubber gasket and I was done.

easy to put everything in and take everything out, very good seal.

Took it into some crashing waves for an hour with my phone, wallet, and t-shirt inside(and some tissue papers so that I could periodically check if any water was getting in) and the thing works like a charm.

Bonus buoyancy means I can use the container as a small pillow while floating

The water was pretty busy today, but I'll definitely have to try floating again, the neck pillow was very comfortable during the short test runs i was allowed.

 

i like watching "making-of" or "behind-the-scenes" featurettes and documentaries about the behind the scenes machinations of movie making, but in terms of literature, I'm not sure what to look for if i want to learn about the process Martha wells went through to conceive the murderbot diaries, for example.

i can search for making-of The Matrix and find documentaries, but not making-of project hail Mary and find similar literary results.

is there a section of literature like this?

should i be reading annotated editions?

thanks

 

it keeps asking me to create an account, but when I log in with Google the whole page resets, and after it reset three times I'm locked out of my account that it says I still haven't created.

does Lazada still work for you guys or is there a new thing I should be using?

I remember it working without a problem before.

I thought that Marco getting his face ripped off was the crazy part of this book but then i read the rest of it.

spoiler major spoilers

Oh dang. All the parents have been told and rescued in dramatic and violent ways, Jake's parents try to kill him, Loren can see, this was another dip dop HELL of a story.

also ax saying that Rachel's sisters think he's a "pokey-man" is pretty funny.

lol

 

for anyone with the same problem, I add a border until the photo is larger than 1600x2650, at which point you can see the entire photo on the screen, as shown here:

This is one of the dumbest things I deal with on the pixel, although there are a lot of dumb things with this phone.

OP below:

ever since I got the pixel, one of the most frustrating non-Functionalities has been that I have to manually screenshot any picture that I want to make into a wallpaper background because my Google pixel 6 enlarges by about 3x any photo, I choose to make my wallpaper background and cannot make the picture smaller by pinching it smaller.

but now even if I save a screenshot, it blows it up more than 3x and I have to manually add a giant border around the picture in an external app so that the picture itself is much smaller if I want to see the entire picture on my phone wallpaper.

is this just some shitty thing with my phone or do all pixels do this?
