Seperator meat has basically lost all of the properties of meat in term of flavour or texture, so why even bother with using dead animal at that point?

Also, whenever I eat real meat, my bowels love reminding me the next night.

That doesn’t seem very Joker-y

The column is Ionic, but don’t let that detract from the joke!

Doric is straight, Ionic has scrolls, Corinthian is with frills and leafs.

The links seemed like decently recent data so you wouldn’t expect someone in my percentiles to be so strangely missized unless sizing was just flat wrong or targeted to certain body shapes in the last 10-ish years.

Ehhh sorta kinda. The charts used are intentionally outdated, since they’re supposed to model healthy weight and are used for population scale statistics.

https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/information-for-healthcare-professionals.htm check under “why haven’t the growth charts been updated”

Currently, more than 30% of kids fall in the 95th percentile, for example. Which is statistically a stupid thing to say, but it allows for better tracking if you don’t change your measuring tool.

75th percentile in weight for the US

Seeing how 30% of the US is morbidly obese, I’m rather shocked you’re were in a size L at all.

Or you’re using an outdated chart.

Ok, let me rephrase that: even small hobby lathes are pretty big machines.

Yeah, I don’t really consider that small. They’re not really a “put it away until I need it” tool.

Fair. I guess you could read my reply as “they don’t flee to Europe at all”, but I intended it as “they don’t flee to Europe all that often”.

I guess I could have been more clear there, but in my defense, I did elaborate.

I am not interested in a political discussion nor in the overly-common mud-slinging that desperately attempts to label everyone either a hateful nazi or a moronic lefty.

Aren’t you in luck then, because I did neither. Your reaction is pretty over the top though.

Also, seeing how Ukraine is already in Europe, it would take a lot of effort for them not to flee to (elsewhere in) Europe.

Since people from war-torn nations often flee to Europe where they tend to get all kinds of help and support

They don’t do that at all. That’s a deceitful right-wing talking point meant to create xenophobic reactions.

People from war torn nations move to non-war torn parts of their own county, or their direct neighbors. Only a tiny fraction go further, and only a fraction of those go all the way to Europe.

I want a lathe too. But there really isn’t such a thing as a small hobby lathe.

I took a year of civil engineering in uni, then decided I didn’t like it, switched to chemistry.

When I finished my PhD I decided I never wanted to be in a lab ever again, and that academia is absolutely not for me. But it was in the middle of the housing bubble collapse, so my first job was in QA for a factory.

That taught me a LOT of “how things actually work”, completely unrelated to anything in chemistry. It was also fucking shit.

Second job was a major contractor, doing asphalt and concrete development. I started to quickly accumulate side jobs, in quality, safety, compliance etc etc. And since I was still in a damned lab, I jumped at the opportunity to not be. Leaned into the safety and regulation aspects, and they paid for all the certifications and educations. And when I was done, then they reorganized and didn’t need me anymore, which was fine by me because I was off the hook for all the education costs.

So I started my own consulting company in safety and compliance, mostly workplace safety, waste handling, soil remediation etc etc. I do audits from either end of the table and get to handle a lot of tricky problems with a lot of variation, it’s pretty fun. And being self employed in an in-demand field is great!

All of them are spammy shit that they post far too many times. Good thing an easy block fixes that.

I grew up on Sonic the Hedgehog and Battletoads. The former is OK, the latter is absolutely impossible now even though I finished it on the Mega Drive when I was like… 12.

All the platformers I used to think were easy are now super hard, and all the RPG and RTS games are now much easier.

I didn’t say I agreed with his sense of right or wrong. But it’s very solid.

Details?

Small note on induction.

Since power setting works by turning the element off and on quickly, having a really thin pan with little thermal mass will result in some really weird uneven heating (basically just a hot circle).

The only thing you can’t do is chuck them in the dishwasher.

But mine usually clean with a quick rinse and 5 seconds of brushing.

Nonstick pans are amaaaaazing the first few months. After that, they get non-non-stick in places.
