Once your recipes are in grams a scale can take your baking up an entire level. It also (as twovests points out) just makes it easier.

I usually cook meals without ever touch my scale. I can do things like bake bread by feel, but not by choice.

run, escape

all it takes is starting it up once to get me playing for weeks. don't say this

A lot of the time in baking when you measure out flour with cups you're meant to scoop the flour into the measuring cup with a spoon and then level it off with a knife, and I find that incredibly tedious. The easier option of just scooping the flour out with the measuring cup almost doubles the amount of flour, so that's not great either... I've found myself preferring a scale for measuring flour most of the time.

actually i'm probably just being repeatedly triggered back to my own poverty-related trauma now that i think about it

I hope your body's various mechanisms for attacking pathogens work soon and you feel better.

Ow!

Hope you feel better soon!

So he’s reaching out to a pro asking for free services? There are words for that 🙄.

Of course, thinking women sit around eagerly waiting for the chance to serve them is on brand for MAGAts too.

thank you!

I know a few bacterial pathogens can get through mucus at the very least, and those all have some fun ways of doing so. i know one that chemically alters the mucus around it to be less goopey. heliobacter pylori I believe but this is off the cuff

mucus is stuffed full of commensal bacteria though, and thwy provide quite a barrier to most pathogens. on top of mucus being turbo viscous. its sort of like a peace offering of "here you go microbes, go live here and not on my tissues pleas". many microbes can actually eat mucin so theres a minor arms race between the commensal guys and pathogenic bacteria in that regard

so your mucus is this living microbiome! i say commensal but some evidence points to borderline mutualistic symbioses, too! theres some bacteria in there which seem to have really positive health effects. i love mucus i love microbiota i love bacteria

Feel well soon!

This makes me wonder if / when we'll get a virus that really really likes bucketloads of mucus. Or is mucus just so gross and useless that it can't be taken advantage of?

🙌 I'm PMSing and just cried at the end of Rocketman

My problem is the multi-tasking, I get too stressed out if i have to do multiple things at once

yeah the business model for Codenames is you spend $5 on it once, which is kind of crazy for a long term service game but it's working out fine

i don't think i could do that; i can usually make enough soup for several days if i spend like an hour on it. i don't think i could make a multi course meal, and on short notice the problem would be i don't keep enough fresh vegetables around to do that.

oh that's actually a really good call. when i measure flour i have a whole process where i take a measuring cup and a butter knife to level the measurement off but that means i have to dirty two things up each time i measure.

I'll have to look in to getting a scale. i don't like buying special kitchen tools though, so who knows. if i get one i'll let you know.

i've only played 6, 7, and 8 and just a heads up if you try 6 out be ready for a wildly racist area mid game

The scale is good because you don't need to dirty measuring cups or anything else. Everything in one or two bowls! Amazing feeling

I should try some of the older wizardries some time. 8 is one of my absolute favourite games of all time but I've never played any from before that!

maybe I will get round to it by next year, which of course is 1996

yesssssssss

Woah, good list, thank u

Marvel Rivals is good because it runs on Linux and does not have kernel anti-cheat, but one guy makes portals which degrade performance from ~90FPS to ~2SPF on my machine.

"Codenames app" is something I would never have considered until your recommendation. Turns out their Privacy Policy (translated) appears to be pretty good. It's long because it's specific, not because it's horrific.

This really connects it together. If someone isn't aware of their hypocrisy, then they just might be getting off to it :(

From what I understand, he wasn't even inquiring to BUY anything. He's reaching out and asking her to meet him all the rest of the way. Agreed, I think this is shit behavior

I've been thinking about this. When I was in my teens, I just assumed everyone thought about things critically, but the capacity for humans to internalize enough facts and to think well precluded them from doing it too well. Now I'm realizing there are people who never think critically.

Maybe I'm being too generous even to think this dude recognizes the hypocrisy. Man
