This is factually incorrect. American fast food restaurants apply a standard dose of ketchup to each burger. Additional ketchup is provided, sometimes only on request, for patrons who prefer a "wetter" burger. Source: I spent 21

Meanwhile the Irish are very happy with the disgusting Chef "ketchup" that tastes more of vinegar than anything else.

What you call a crime I call the lesser evil option for heating my house in the country. The other options are peat and coal, neither of which are renewable on anything like the timescale in which a tree can be grown. I keep it at about 15°

Either driving uses a lot of fossil fuels, and therefore driving without using fossil fuels is better, or the switch from fossil fueled to electric cars is a drop in the bucket of the overall solution. Pick one. Don't bring your dislik

Lose weight, quit tech, go do something that involves more moving and less sitting in one position tensing the same muscles repeatedly forever. Not a troll post. I did this. It worked.

I'd love to share my comp, but as the only person in my country at my rank in my department (at a 100k-person global company!) I might as well just post it on LinkedIn.

7.5 tons/household/year. This is good for 4800 households. Nice, but nothing, ultimately.

Fewer hours awake is fewer hours snacking. When I was doing a big weight loss I'd be very careful about putting myself to bed at like 22:00, because the later I'm awake, the greater my risk of snacks and booze entering the picture

Still a pity it didn't literally go the way of BeOS by acquiring Be, like might have happened. I used both NeXTstep on 68k and BeOS on Intel, and much preferred the latter. NeXTstep was a crawling horror of abstractions, which might ha

Yeah, same, that's why I resorted to water-cooling :) https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/so-i-water-cooled-my-ma... It's pretty much silent now, even with the CPU governor pegged to max.

This is only true if the power to run the electric car is environmentally less damaging than the diesel's emissions. With Germany's obsession with using diesel vehicles to mine brown coal to burn for power, I'm not convinced

I had CuriosityStream for a year, and used it for about two weeks. It's also just formulaic drivel accompanied by stock B-roll. My day is much better, and bears more fruit, when I don't waste any of it in front of a TV.

I cured my tinnitus for several years by taking 3mg melatonin @ 21:00 daily, thereby regularizing my sleep schedule. Then I slacked off when the melatonin stopped making me sleepy, and the tinnitus came back. It's also affected negativ

If you can make a phone I love as much as my Pebbles, I'll buy nothing else, forever. I guess confirming there's a market for it is the first step. My phone requirements haven't changed much in the last ten years. I bought on

Winner for most American comment in the thread. There are more people in the EU than the USA, and I think you'd struggle to find many who prefer Chicago Deep Dish to a nice flat Italian. But I wouldn't be surprised if one of them

That's my problem. Utterly exhausted with safety culture overreach, as if the single most important thing possible is maximum safety, to the detriment of all other factors. Solitary confinement is very safe.
