90% of problems on modern cars are computers miscommunicating with other computers, out just deciding that some sensor isn’t behaving well enough, so you have to throw the baby out with the bath water. All this in proprietary formats in proprietary subsystems a filthy mortal like you can’t afford the tools to even know what’s wrong.
Everyone who doesn’t stand behind me absolutely is my enemy.
I’ll counter with the following: if you aren’t sure whether your kid will like it, it’s probably a better idea to start with renting. You’ll typically get a fully-serviced instrument with coverage for accidental damage.
Yes, it’s a fully sunk cost, but it’s predictable and you don’t have to deal with the hassle of selling off an instrument if they don’t get really into it. Once you’re confident that they’re going to stick with it and know they can handle and maintain it carefully, then you should look into buying.
All ice cream (and related desserts) will get harder as they get colder. This is because more water freezes and the fat viscosity increases. If your ice cream isn’t hard enough, your freezer isn’t cold enough.
Take a reliable thermometer and check the temp of your ice cream tub. Is be willing to bet it’s a lot warmer than the USDA recommended 0°F (253 K).
It’s not elitism… It just costs more to turn food into something it isn’t than it does to turn it into something it is.
If I wanted to make a bag of beefroccoli to help vegans transition into eating meat, it would cost a fortune!
It’s worth noting that vegan and gluten free foods are not more expensive… Substitute foods are
Palimpsested
Holy word of the day, Batman!
At first I was like “good luck finding that female semen…” Then I realized I’m just dumb.
Voting does not excuse you from whatever obligations a majority has decided are best for you.
It’s more like if you show up with a baby photo… A reasonable person might say “that was my child, the way they were long ago. They were smaller then, and they’ve grown and learned since. They had many flaws, and they still haven’t grown out of many of them. It’s important to remember the way they were, just as it is important to know them as they are.”
Not allergies, botulism
That’s the great thing about the Internet… You can never be sure.
In the context of a conspiracy theory, while the csam doesn’t necessarily increase the jail sentence, it could be used as a tool to discredit the shooter, and more importantly, as a tool to silence the brother (where a more conventional disappearing or suiciding might raise suspicions).
“‘The government made him do it’ says local pedophile beaten to death in prison”
Being left alone is not an option.
Ahh… So that’s why your face is red.
Most people couldn’t, but that’s mostly to do with the way math is taught differently… (“New math” is better, fight me!)
People take offense to using adjectives describing a group of people as a noun. For example “the black community” or “people who are gay” describe a subset (describe a portion of the overall community,) whereas “the blacks” or “the gays” describe a distinct set (and imply that group as an “other”)
All I can think of is a gruff, blue collar worker coming home, covered in oil stains. He hangs up his hardhat and lunch pail at the door. “You would not believe the day I had!” He says, “Some jackass put the 9 dies in the 6 press, and I had to spend all morning trying to pry open the hydraulics without fucking them up. After all that, I get a call that the serifs are too long on the ones and they’re getting sorted as sevens!”
