Fucking boooooo. I'm right outside the room and now I'll never get the chance to fight him at his strongest. If they were going to do this there should be a way to change it back. :(

Upfront, they were not perfect. The recipe I got was good/treaty and it definitely scratched the same kind of itch, but I don't think it was particularly close in terms of flavor.

HOWEVER, I think there are several factors to improve results.

1. Not everyone you could hire is going to be the same caliber. Some will be better than others and finding the best may not be easy. I don't think I ended up hiring the best candidate.

2. Actual sample analysis. I was prepared to send the scientist a sample of the drink but they claimed they didn't need it and I trusted their judgment. In the future, I would look to hire only someone who will analyze the sample with lab equipment.

I know it's not something everyone can afford to do but - When a drink I liked seemed like it was going out of production I paid a food scientist on Fiverr to reverse engineer it. Worth considering.

Both useful for... YOUR MOM!

While I've played the game multiple times, I'm not sure I understand this poster. The amygdala and the moon presence aren't opposing forces are they? Were the amygdala trying to reach the presence?

I think sqft isn't a great metric for understanding three size or feel of a house, especially for US Americans. I think most houses have rooms that are too big for their uses, especially bedrooms. When I was looking into moving a year ago I found a house with the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms as my current house but 1/3rd smaller in sqft. And I WANTED to move there because the house was cooler and nicer than mine!

I'm sorry. It honestly ruined the show for me as soon as I noticed. When I first started watching it I was so excited to meet all kinds of varied people, especially from the MCs past, but once I got to Nadeko Snake I was like, "O, it's waifus all the way down."

I'm pretty sure reaction time doesn't matter, as long as both players have the same reaction time, right? Like, reaction time could be 10 minutes and if one player sees the stimuli 1ms faster than the other, then they will react first and (assuming their decision making is correct) "win" the interaction.

The next test of usefulness would be real world variance of reaction time between people. For high level players, I would expect it to be very similar, and thus potentially a few ms improvement could take you from slower to faster than an opponent. But "very similar" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here since I don't have exact numbers to look at.

I would argue that because is a harem anime that it always has a current of fan service by definition.

Edit: Nvm, I take it back. Pandering isn't really the same thing as fan service and that's what I'm really talking about above.

Do you know what it's called? I'd like to do this if possible.

I just love that landscape .

For phones, Pinephone is very nearly this. The only thing is that GPS and cell service are on the same switch (because they're handled by the same chip on the board)

This is really cool! Does anyone have any resources for drills to learn how to type like this?

I've recently started putting together a home studio and made the mistake of asking online what I should consider before painting my monitors. Nearly half of the people who responded said, "Don't do it, it'll ruin the resale value." Like dude, I'm not here to be on a god damned gear treadmill. I'm here to make music. Gear is just a necessary evil to me and if I never have to buy monitors again I would be so happy. So, If I can get some extra joy out of them and make them mine, I'm gonna.

Best line in the whole movie.

This is not correct. English is simply not phonetic and therefore it's impossible to spell any English word phonetically.

The Shavian Alphabet!

I wholly agree with your initial sentiment, although I envision it being structured differently. I think it makes sense for a person to have a name when they are growing, especially one given to you by your parents since they are (typically) a huge part of who you are at that point in your life.

But, no one stays who they are when they were 7, or 12, or 16. By the time they're not a minor I would argue that they're hardly the same person. Thus, I think it should be expected and tradition for people to change their name once they truly become individuals.

And I think it doesn't even have to be a legal thing. Parents can just be like, "think about and pick your new name" and once the person decides, they (and everyone else they inform) just starts calling them that name.

Maxwell Atoms, is that you?

It's important to note that for this specific situation/question, percentages (i.e. "half of all wealth") aren't actually useful. Depending on what the actual flat numbers are, it would still be possible for "half of all wealth" evenly distributed to the entire population of the planet to not be a lot of money per person.

That being said, I looked at your linked article which actually includes the flat numbers which means you can do the math and see what an even distribution of wealth amounts to for each and every person.

That article claims that in 2022, total global wealth was 418.3 trillion. Looking elsewhere for total global population in 2022, I'm finding ~8 billion. Those numbers give us a per person wealth value of ~52K. It's important to note that this isn't a yearly salary - it represents the sum total of all assets each person would have. Also important to note that the population number includes children - something like global adult population would likely be more useful but I couldn't easily find that number.

So 52K is our answer, but interpreting it is I think a very complex question all on it's own. I have no idea if this amounts to a "modest" living or even what "modest" really means (PCs? Air Conditioning? Year round access to global fruit supplies?). I thought for a long time that if we could evenly distribute wealth that everyone could live a "good" life - but the numbers might literally not shake out for that. I still hope they do. I want them to. But I've never seen a clear answer. Also, this isn't an argument against an even distribution of wealth. I think it's ethically correct to evenly distribute wealth basically no matter what. I just don't know if anyone knows what the lives of people would really look like in that scenario.

Great photos! I also love that statue.

Daily reminder that no individual action is lawful or chaotic.

I appreciate the story.

Moscow Mule hold the Moscow. Been making these a lot lately. Not decided on what my preferred ginger beer for it is though.

Huge soda fan so picking just one is super hard but I'd say:

Oronamin C or Sweet Blossom's Rose soda

Oronamin C is a Japanese soft drink with a taste that is often described as "drinking (American) Smarties". It's incredibly refreshing and delicious. Sweet Blossom is I think an eastern European beverage company and they make a rose flavored soda that is to die for. It has far and away my favorite quality of carbonation (very fine, soft bubbles).

Other honorable mentions include Ocean Bomb: Sailor Mercury (i.e. pear flavor), and as a big fan of cherry colas, Bawls Guarana Cherry Cola and Fentiman's Cherry Tree Cola.

Thank you for saying this, and doing it so much nicer than I would've.

If it's the Metro available on F-Droid, it doesn't have any swiping config as far as I can tell.

I think this is a greater problem with games that are technically aimed at children. There is so little respect for your time generally, but I think it's especially egregious when it comes to menus, dialog, and animations. Additionally, there are many things that are in sequence (with large unneeded gaps between) that could happen more or less simultaneously.

Conspiratorially, I think this is to pad play time, and for kids the animations and what not are jingling keys that keep then occupied enough they don't care or notice.

So, I understand what approval voting is, but I'm not sure I follow with "fiver member districts". Is this referring to something like congressional districts, but instead of electing one person they elect five? Or maybe it means breaking a constituency into a huge number of tiny 5 voter districts?

EDIT: Seems like maybe combining districts that only have 1 representative into larger districts that elect 5 representatives?

Hell yeah another fan of Darwin!

Goodnight Harada~

Since I haven't seen any of the comments mention this yet...

I think the big reason is storage/bandwidth.

Digital audio is an interesting form of media because the size of an audio file is determined almost entirely by 1) how long it is and 2) the bitrate/quality and has a lot less to do with what the actual content is. Therefore, an audio track of a video that contains dialogue and music is pretty much the same size as one that only contains music. So, if you were to, for example, separate dialogue and music of a video into two tracks to allow a user adjust the volume of either independently of the other (an amazing user experience IMO) the storage size (and bandwidth usage) of the audio virtually doubles despite no "additional" content being added.

Multiple audio track is actually something I've wanted for forever, especially for watching stream on Twitch. But I think it's a pretty hefty burden to place on the service, especially if a lot of people aren't even going to use or notice it.

I use a ceramic bee house e.g.: https://www.amazon.com/Bee-House-Ceramic-Coffee-Dripper/dp/B0047VUNVE

Been using it for years without issue but I think ultimately not terribly different from a v60 other than it's easier to see your drip rate.
