For me, it started as more of a reverse-Christmas situation - if I go to sleep, the next thing I know I'll be having to got to work and I really don't want that! Which sometimes lead to the strange situation of going to bed earlie

I have struggled with sleep at night for at least 15 years now. I get very sleepy in food courts (general hubbub in a safe feeling surrounding) and as a child who hated cricket I dozed off on the couch more than once when it was on. There&#

I always remember that biblical passage about praying in private vs public. Such concerns about virtue signalling have been around for a long, long time.

Ah no I missed your implication there. She didn't. It isn't unheard of though, some people stay with Ms as a default if they don't think their marital status is anyone's business. It's a less political version of Mz

I just meant it in the general sense of the word, as a leave of absence at the company's behest that could be paid or unpaid.

I think it would, and it's in a similar category to YouTube constructing an alternate reality based on videos I watched. The difference is that it takes longer (and I personally have to overcome more inertia) to read a book than to bin

Traditionally yes, but there's no legal requirement and many people don't feel the need to make the change (my wife being one).

Sounds right, I've even had a lot of modern games crash or hang when the action gets hot and I'm spamming inputs (Path of Exile was frequent, but even Hades crashed the other day like this).

I was curious if this related to myself sitting on a couch playing multiplayer games. Apparently it even relates to chess, so the activity doesn't need to be physical. I wonder if being "in person" makes a big difference thou

It's in the FAQ. What about lectins, phytates/phytic acid, phytohemagglutinin, gas, etc? Aquafaba by definition is made from beans that have been heat treated > 100C, and chickpeas have the least amount of lectins and phytates.

My wife made meringues (technically macarons) with it, the result was fine in texture but maybe there was a bit of a deeper nuttier flavour than usual as you said, but it worked for me. She did use chickpea water too. It would probably go b

I've had similar thoughts but free software is so pervasive. Would this apply to stuff like Foxit Reader, 7zip, or Discord? It might be really hard to draw the line.

Yes I read about the acidic foods, I did see a test saying it's not a huge problem but you will need to re-season more often. It can also leech iron which is actually a good thing for most of us. Anyway I took the plunge, carbon steel

Does action in such a case rely on accusation or conviction? This is a question, not bait, because I don't know but I assume it would require conviction which takes time.

Yeah I'm worried it'll just frustrate me. I got it for Christmas but I'm hoping for a patch before I install. Apparently there's one due in a week or two and another next month.

On the soap thing, I think a dishwasher is not OK since the soap is harsher. Can anyone confirm? I know there's also a risk of letting it sit and dry (i.e. rust) but that can be managed.

By all accounts hunter-gatherer societies had a lot more free time than we do, and no Netflix. Personally, I'd absolutely do this just to see what would happen.

I've tried chicken hearts on a skewer at Japanese restaurants a few times, and of all the organs I think it's the least organ-y. It's a working muscle and pretty much tastes like it.

Slightly pink pork is generally considered safe in most countries now, and preferred for some leaner styles (like pork chops/medallions). I've tried it and it benefits just like a beef steak.

Yes, I think most juiciness is actually fat/oil, not water. Pretty sure one of those more serious food blogs measured it once. This is why basting in fat is important sometimes. I was gifted some leftover thin wagyu cuts recently. I co

Seems appropriate to mention rabbit starvation here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning Meat-only diets are sustainable, but remove enough fat and you'll die.

At that point, if you have the laptop and are willing to admit it you can just make a conspiracy document and say you found it on it.
