The problem is the mnemonic everyone uses doesn’t use rotational motion. Maybe we need an actual rotational motion mnemonic. Maybe “clockwise screw wise” would work
I could never remember how screws worked until physics and the right hand rule.

That’s a sensible way to do it. You’ve got a built in asymmetry to map it to.
I hope you can find another bread product that’s perfect for bushy eyebrows.
Ooh and maybe tiny bagels for eyes. That might be too silly or too small
It may depend quite a bit on the pill. As an adult I can easily dry swallow things like ibuprofen. But I’m not sure about something like oral steroids.
I was prescribed them as a kid due to a particularly bad poison ivy reaction. I couldn’t swallow pills at the time, so after running through all the tricks to teach someone, we ended up grinding them up and sticking them in ice cream. It was something like 15 years before I could eat cookies and cream again without tasting steroids. Grinding them definitely exacerbated the problem, but I’m not sure how I’d fare if prescribed the same pills again.
It’s somewhat bizarre to me that the settings menu isn’t just a reskinned control panel that either launches the new or old items depending on what they’ve finished so far.
I can’t imagine what they’ve done is easier than rewriting control panel items in full one by one.
You can do a halfway decent job of modernizing just by having an “advanced” toggle that shows the more arcane/less used settings.
I understand the desire to race towards a minimum viable product and get the core functionality into the glossy new thing, but they already had a minimum viable product in the control panel.
Too many. I wish Lemmy had post tags, it would make things easier. There are communities I would be interested in, if I had any tools to help see the things I care about.
I’m left with more politics than I’d like, but that’s still preferable to anything I block.
Broadly speaking:
Memes Anime, mostly due to all the anime girl communities Sports Foreign language communities if I really can’t read anything, or I’m seeing too many posts in a row from them Communities that aren’t for memes but that are overrun with them. Sometimes if this is driven by a particular user I might block them instead Communities with porn in the name
There are good sauces you can make from canned tomatoes in 20 minutes (depending on your prep speed).
My go tos are Putanesca & Vodka sauce, but there’s a lot more you can do. Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything has a simple recipe and then a big list of variants, most of which can be done in 20 minutes.
Hot take means something else here. In common usage usually only the first half applies, that is, “piece of deliberately provocative commentary”
It’s a motorized wheelchair that takes up twice the space and is way more expensive to build.
A solid chunk of Philip K Dick’s output worked better as movies/TV than as books.
There’s definitely something there, but the books feel somewhat unfinished/unpolished. Which makes sense, his books weren’t popular in English until after the release of Blade Runner, which coincided with his death. Maybe the popularity of the movie would’ve given him more time and resources to revise future works.
A Scanner Darkly is the only one where both the book and the movie felt about the same quality.
Chittenden county is moderately dense. It has about 25% of the state’s population. There’s public transit in the form of buses and it seems moderately used. It’s a rural state, but not nearly as rural as you seem to think.
In contrast I grew up in a significantly more densely populated suburbs in the greater Boston area. People might use the commuter rail, but I’m not even sure what other public transit even existed. If it’s there I’ve never heard of anyone interacting with it.
The decision to use Adobe suite is more likely to be a company wide decision. Part of Adobe suite lock-in is also familiarity making things faster. By promoting others, that may help future generations avoid at least part of the problem.
Google services may be much more piecemeal. Even if the boss personally happens to think there’s a productivity benefit to using a given search engine, it would be unusual to block others.
Practicing what you preach is sometimes important, but I’m not sure how much it bears on these issues. A single company eschewing either won’t make a difference. Getting the public to slowly consider alternatives may.
True but I’d just like to sit and admire the word frugivorous for a moment
Maybe folks just like symmetry.
If your comments are going to gum up the thread with a segment that they don’t think will have any effect, what’s a few more to match?
It’s also worth noting that this is famous enough that Amazon has offered a service called Mechanical Turk since 2005.
The implementation and service are both fine in theory, but you do need to be clear that what’s being paid for is humans pretending to be computers.
Slice it before you go. Are items with bread not found in picnics?
Sandwiches are perfect for a picnic, and it’s an occasion you’d want to gussy them up a bit for. Fancier bread might be the cheapest and most obvious way to do that.
It’s still not loading for me unless I open it externally
It really depends what sort of recipes you’re making, but for cooking very loose approximations are often fine.
I often have to convert to weight/mass in order to find out how much of an ingredient to buy. I have no idea how many cups an eggplant is. But once I get it home the recipe might as well say “however much eggplant you have.”
If I’m truly off, I will typically scale up the recipe adjusting for the extra meat or vegetable content. I’ll more or less assume that 1lb of meat is interchangeable with 1lb of veggies. That’s not quite true, in particular with salt.
Your mileage may vary though. Some recipes and ingredients are much more sensitive to deviations.
There may be an earlier version, but I know this as an old Emo Phillips joke
America’s test kitchen has done that, although I can’t find one that addresses all the bits of misinformation.
This one is pretty ok, but doesn’t address all things, and doesn’t specifically call out the myths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUComSZbZ7o
Notably missing is tomatoes/highly acidic foods. IIRC, it’s fine if the duration is short (about 15 minutes). Shakshuka and quick tomato sauces should be fine, but don’t make Grandma’s all-day tomato sauce. Regardless, for these contexts I’d still grab stainless if that’s an option, but mostly for ease of use/cleaning
