I also wonder if some things in something like a soup might make the liquid expand less than pure water. Anyway thanks for the tips I may try this!

It’s the way water expands when it freezes that is the problem. It is surprising to me that Mason jars can withstand that. But if works, that trumps theorizing.

I don’t eat fast food very much and can’t say I’ve tried all the options, but I really like the Big Tasty from Tasty Burger.

Maybe you could eat each bite of a normal sirloin with a slice of wagyu on it.

Do you have a secret for freezing it without cracking the jar?

I have no idea what hold ups are, but the thing that is important to how you wash a thing is what the material is. In general, oxygenating whiteners like OxyClean are a safer way to whiten things than chlorine bleach, so unless the material is something that this is known to be a bad idea for, I would try a soak in that.

If you made a browser run lisp, it would only be useful for web pages that are scripted with lisp. Most web sites are currently scripted in JavaScript. Adding lisp support to a browser is the easy part. It’s like deciding Latin is a better language then English, and then learning it. If you then came here and started using only Latin, it probably wouldn’t be very satisfying.

When? I think you mean “if”.

I think the way conscious will and unconscious feelings interact is more complex than most recognize, and the language we have to talk about it is insufficient.

I don’t think you can decide in the abstract and I don’t think there is a one-size-fits all answer. Every pet’s (and person’s) decline is different. You may get to a point where you have to make a decision, but the specifics of that point are always different, and being in the situation is not the same as trying to imagine it.

Perhaps you could build some sort of large Fresnel lens to place in front of it that would correct for it.

I think two things that are common causes of sibling bad feelings are differences in treatment, and handling of sibling conflicts, both of which can create feelings of unfairness and resentment.

I don’t have prescriptions for those things. Kids are different and necessarily need to be treated differently. But one should be aware of how this can feel unfair to one sibling. And be aware of how your need to end conflicts and restore order can again wind up being unfair to one sibling.

I think the hardest thing is being able to see things from their points of view.

If they were asking 10 zipped individually vs a single zip, I didn’t get that, because that’s not what their phrasing actually said. But you might be right, that would make more sense to ask.

Wouldn’t trying it out and seeing how much it saved be about the same amount of work as typing in this question?

I’ll just offer one particular situation. I have a door to my kitchen that is metal and glass like a sliding door but swings on a hinge. More mass than a typical wooden door and it swings on the hinge very freely, no resistance to slow it down. So it swings with pretty much the velocity you give it, and it requires a decent amount to make it latch.

Commonly I go in or out with stuff in my hands so I can rarely close it slowly and carefully. I end up giving it a little shove, often with my foot. If you get the force just right, it will latch with out being loud, but it has to be just right. Any less and it doesn’t latch. Any more and it slams pretty loudly. It’s really hard to get right, an not slam it more loudly than you intend. And I’m sensitive to noise so it’s not like I don’t care. But with this particular door it’s hard to avoid.

A lot of advice is like medicine. Whether it is good or bad for you depends on what you are or aren’t suffering from

Tolerance and humanization are not the same thing. Understanding that terrible behaviors are human does not mean we must tolerate them.

I am totally ignorant about this kind of software, but it seems like the ultimate solution is to extract your data from it. Has anybody done any work around cracking their data format? Or what about Adobe’s? Could their be a path like having Abode import your data from Capture and then use some Abode export crack to get it into some more open format?

No that’s what comes out of the butt.
