Americas test kitchen also says you can't make crispy pork belly without frying it, I don't know why people put so much trust in a group that can get something so easy, wrong.

I have no idea about this pasta but keep in mind Americas test kitchen also claimed it's impossible to get crispy skin on a piece of pork belly in an oven and insisted it must be fried.

My regular IDE is IDEA with a bunch of language plugins, so I think I have a reasonable idea where you're coming from. The idea is to have a tool that can be either a lightweight text editor when you want that or a full on IDE when you

The native runtime environment for iOS is significantly more powerful/capable (i.e. less controlled/limited) than a browser sandbox. It would be pointless to have local apps if it wasn't more capable. That doesn't mean i

Sounds like exactly the sort of scenario you'd want them to confirm with something like a photo... the exact thing the original comment is complaining about happening.

We don't know why the business was marked as closed. Maybe they had a sign up during the pandemic saying "closed until further notice".

by stephenr 3y ago
On an article about a business incorrectly marked as "closed" you're suggesting that expecting some basic confirmation about a change, is unreasonable?

The only guess I have is because it's the default interactive shell on macOS, while bash is probably more common on GNU systems. But that also doesn't make much sense given that this is about non interactive scripts. To be honest
