I looked at the picture for a good 10 seconds trying to figure out what kind of steam generating device it was before realizing it wasn’t a shitpost.

Lol the guy talks about linux like it’s his job or special interest.

That quick temperature change sounds like a double edged sword to me, as a thicker base means it can hold its temperature as you add cold/wet food, which might result in steaming food instead of frying/sautéing.

On that note, temperature control also helps making cleaning easier. If your oil is heated before you add the food, the food will tend to not stick as much (though there’s a bunch of other factors at play, so I still get use out of my scouring pad).

find -name “*.txt”

Iirc. Though it might want a regular expression instead of a wildcard.

I’m pretty sure that’s what I’ll have to do as I can clean but I have trouble maintaining. Plus I have too much stuff for the space I have, so I’ll need a place for my stuff anyways.

That’s why I like stainless steel cookware. If there’s a tough mess stuck to them, I just switch from my usual sponge to the stainless steel scouring pad and wear it back down to the metal.

Can do similar with cast iron, but it can turn into more work if you need to reseason it.

Was it even that or just a hash of the url (or whatever text/data was being “confirmed”)?

10 was the last one with a technical improvement (its kernel had a scheduler that was better at scheduling on modern processors where some cores share caches while others don’t). Though the anti-features meant it was a tradeoff vs 7 (and just ignore 8 entirely).

It was kinda funny because before I switched to linux and made the question moot, I kept searching for some technical reason, anything, to actually want to switch from 10 to 11. All I’d get were things that other desktops have been able to do for decades (virtual desktops, which I first saw in Litestep (I think?) back around 2003), or anti-features like recall and copilot integration.

I imagine it more as a condescending IT guy who isn’t actually very good at his job and has secretly set up each machine to spy on the users (but again isn’t very good at what he does so it isn’t much of a secret).

Just hold on to your butt and cut the main power.

But then don’t forget to switch back to main power before the auxiliary power runs out of fuel or things will get really bad.

Unless it’s the movie and they cut out the whole auxiliary power and just set it up such that all power goes out and no one thought of being at the power station to get the main generator back up and running asap before cutting the park’s power.

When I switched to win 10, I actually gave them more money to get the pro version for access to the group policy editor so I could control updates and never have to deal with my PC telling me it’s time to restart on its own. Because I was stupid.

When it came time to switch to Win 11, I did the much more sensible thing and installed Fedora instead. I started with cinnamon and even though I ended up disliking it also, it was still way better than the windows experience.

That sounds like it should be controlled by a modifier key. Like click and drag just moves the current window while ctrl+drag moves the parent window as well and shift+drag moves all windows owned by that same program. Right click to cancel the whole move operation from the start of the click, then allow dynamically switching modes mid-drag.

But do offer them a carrot they can never quite reach but seems worth going out of their way for.

Plus hardware preorders actually still make sense because it can’t just be digitally copied and a key generated without anyone even needing to press a button. Which was also the case for games at one point.

I bet you’re still giving them too much credit and most won’t know the difference between a steam deck and all the windows-based clones that popped up when business saw that people wanted something like that so made more corporate versions. A non-trivial portion of them will try one of the shitty clones and decide based on that that the steam deck is garbage.

Because their legal system is captured by people who don’t give a fuck about what’s right and who see “competition” as something that needs to be squashed rather than encouraged.

No, I’m saying the ones who say it’s evil to bring kids into this world are hypocrites if they themselves want to keep existing in this world but think a child couldn’t possibly want to exist in it.

Like anti-natalist, not just child free. I don’t think anyone has a duty to have kids and think not wanting kids is a great reason to not have them. I even disagree with doctors who refuse to sterilize people who would rather remove that possibility than keep the risk (and think the doctors should be shielded from any consequences when a patient later regrets that decision). I’d also call it fair if you said some people have no business having kids.

But there’s some people online who take that position to the next level and say that anyone having kids these days is wrong to do so.

It’s pathetic, considering how existence itself was a struggle for the past 3 billion years, then gets easier over the last like 100k, and now there’s new challenges and anti-natalists want us to just give up because it is hard?

And inconsistent because they don’t want to give up themselves, but want everyone else to not give future generations a chance.

And I didn’t say they should kill themselves, but if they believe existence is so painful and hopeless that creating new life is wrong, why haven’t they? Though that “if they are serious about it” is the crux of my position: I believe they are being dramatic or overcompensating for those other assholes that insist having kids is our only purpose and that everyone should have them and gets in their business about not wanting kids themselves.

I also believe that kids born during a collapse will probably have an easier time handling it (emotionally) than those of us who got used to life before a collapse. It’s just hard to say if that will apply to kids born soon or if it won’t be the case for some decades yet.

A variation of this that I realized fairly recently is that striving for excellence doesn’t mean the journey towards it is garbage. I can both feel pride in what I’ve done while also acknowledging where it could have been better with the intent to either circle back and do it better in the future (for like house projects) or avoid that mistake next time (for creations).

Like I did a cross stitch of a wolf and it skewed a bit because it had a lot of half-stitching (without going into too much detail, a full cross stitch equalizes the forces the threads put on the canvas while a half-stitch puts an uneven force on it). So for my current one, I got hoops that I previously didn’t think I needed, which hold the canvas in place outside so the threads are less likely to put a high force where they are.

And my next one will involve a better ordering strategy because my fairly random approach caused some areas of the canvas to bunch up more than others. Less noticeable than the wolf’s skew, but still a flaw I’d like to fix going forward but I’m not beating myself up about the current one.

Assuming this is even relevant to the context you mean lol.

The whole “not much of anything else” mellows out as they get older, and you can even share those interests with your kids. I loved the whole process of going to amusement parks with my daughter, watching her go from enjoying but also being terrified of the small ones, to getting used to those but doing the same for the medium ones, being nervous about going upside down, then seeing it wasn’t such a big deal and now loving the big ones as much as I do and we got to experience the most intense one I’ve ever ridden for the first time together.

Don’t need church for those.
