If you're going to eat a plain, sliced-bread sandwich every day, why not make your own to bring from home? Not exactly hard, expensive, or time consuming. Always tastes better fresher. Why pay more for a shop bought cold sandwich that

I have noticed, um, great variation in "Chinese" food when I've travelled, and other than immigrants adapting to local tastes, I have wondered if different countries haven't had more immigrants from differing regions of

In America, it depends what part of the country you are in, whether your largest meal of the day will be the mid-day meal of lunch (called dinner in some regions) or supper (the evening meal, also called dinner in some regions). Even if you

Ah, total cultural translation fail. To me anything very "dark" is bad bread. I really enjoy the sort of "medium light in color multigrain" my local bakery makes, which includes whole grains like millet and flax, with a

Well, in addition to cultural differences, being hourly vs. being salaried is a big difference. I am salaried. I don't clock in and out. I'm just expected to be there during business hours, which don't change if I work throug

Well, to me this would also look to benefit from any number of spreads, veggies, relishes, or sauces. However, I'm not Norse, and this is what "culture" means. There are lots of different ones. I'm sure the Norse would f

It is lovely that you have that option. For many American workers, if you work through your lunch, you do not then get to leave early. You've just donated your lunch hour as extra work time to the company, and you will often not get it

The main reason that even most bookworms don't read 200 books a year, is most of them need to spend time one some manner of work in order to live.

Just use a third party camera app. At least, this works on Android. Does this not work on iOS?

The problem is that if your sibling or cousin submits DNA to GEDmatch, they've in effect submitted the entire extended family's DNA. You cannot go take down the DNA your cousin submitted to GEDmatch, even though it affects your pr

Because it is also your family's DNA. It is an action that affects not only yourself. You are infringing on the rights of all your relatives to NOT be included in a public database when you do this. Honestly, you _should_ need my permi

USPS has been scanning all mail going through sorting facilities with cameras for years now. All mail is photographed, image goes into a database, image is OCR processed, etc. This is only in recent years, but still. Interesting stuff: htt

No. The SAT in the USA is a test people take in secondary school to get into university. Very few 10-year-olds would be taking it.

The article claims that inside games "most communication is through text". This makes me think they haven't seen very many real gamers. There's no mention of voice chat's extensive use inside games for everything fr

If it's in the BIOS, it doesn't matter what OS you use. The BIOS powers up first and is active before the operating system ever is.

by Vrondi 7y ago
No. Windows does not control the BIOS. The BIOS activates when the machine is powered on, before the operating system becomes active. This is at the hardware maker level, and outside the control of Windows.

That's amazing. We used Dell Lattitides for years at my work with docks, with no problems. Now we have a bunch of Dell XPS 15 machines, with the new USB-C docks, and very few problems. No trackpad problems on Windows 10 at all. The onl

I think you've hit the nail on the head. If a user isn't an idiot blindly following fashion (we know there are plenty who use Apple for "the looks" only). If they are a user who really loves Apple, it's really about

This. I was once such an avid Thinkpad fan, but several bad Lenovo practices and horrible experiences with their other machines have made me distrust this company so much that I've resisted the Thinkpad temptation for years now.

Installing a ceiling fan is a pretty easy DIY project if the room already has an overhead light fixture. They can regularly be bought for less than $100 in many chain stores as well.

You should invest in a very good, decently large fan, and when this happens, have it blowing on you while you sleep. When truly miserable mist yourself with a spray bottle of water, and then sit in front of the fan. Evaporation of your swea

Well, the easiest way to see what the air flow direction is at any time in any space, is to light a stick of incense, and then watch which way the smoke goes if you hold it quite still.

No, they are grammatically identical, with a subject performing action on an object. The only difference is that the subject and object are interchanged.

In the USA, we do not even use the same college entrance exam in all higher ed systems. Different state systems use different exams, and then so does each private college and university. There are several, and which you take (or you may tak

If you don't cut them down the first year, they become decent sized trees. However, it isn't about total individual tree size. It is about the fact that they trap more carbon into wood tissue per year, because they grow so very qu
