I can’t decide if that would be too sweet with the apple sauce base. That might have to be an experiment :)

That’s a good point. I haven’t cooked anything with apple that could go soggy for years, so I hadn’t thought of that. Pulled pork and apple pizza is sounding nice though :)

Why is apple a bad idea? Apple with pork and cheese is delicious :)

Kids don’t care about it being super accurate to the source though, they see the Minecraft world with loads of blocks and blocky looking animals, and it’s close enough. Then the Minecraft logo appears, and they’re sold.

In your example, they would probably just hand wave it away as the mega blocks being different Lego blocks, and possibly get excited that there might be new Lego coming

It’s exactly this. I showed my eight year old the trailer earlier, and judging by the excited exclamations, we’ll be watching this in the cinema

I wonder how much something like that would answer the why too. As an example, if a person threw something across a room and broke it without an obvious reason, could you look at a complete record of their history, and the history of the people around them, and figure out the reason. Would you be able to see signs of anger building through the day and look back to the root cause?

I read an Arthur C Clarke book a few years ago, and it was based around a device that could see anything, anywhere, some sort of microscopic portal I think. One of the characters used it to look back in time following someone’s DNA, so seeing their mother, then their mother’s mother and so on, and eventually saw the intelligence disappear from the distant ancestors eyes. I’m wording it badly, but the idea stuck with me.

I’d love to know when that first spark of intelligence showed up, that separated us from animals, and what our ancestors either side of that divide did differently and similarly. I doubt that there would have been any significant differences at first, but those subtle differences could be fascinating :)

I have nothing to add but Cartman

Did anyone see what I did on a may 16th 2011 at 7:16pm?

Wait, that was you?! 😱

Ah, sorry, I didn’t think of that side of things. I was thinking more along the lines of it could solve things that everyone agrees is a crime, like murder.

My line of thought was more just would you want the easy answers, or would you prefer to have to work for them.

Out of curiosity, what sort of things would you explore? I enjoy researching certain things, so having all the answers would spoil that for me.

the success of Ed Sheerin

That made me snort laugh :D

I’d really just want to know dumb stuff…

I like your thinking. I was thinking mostly about stuff that is hard to research, the more serious things, I hadn’t thought about the ‘dumb’ stuff too. That sounds like a lot more fun :)

Also, I’d use it to figure out when my kids are lying. They all break my shit, but I want to know who to blame for what.

That raises an interesting question - where would the balance be between their privacy and your rights as a parent. You need to know at least some of their private information to teach them as you raise them, but would something like the scenario you raised cross the line into being invasive?

I haven’t seen enough of One Piece to ask bait questions yet, I’m only half way through the Netflix series :)

I was thinking that jobs would be one of the solved problems, as in you only have to work if you want to. I’m more curious about whether people would prefer to do the research because they enjoy it, or if they’d rather just tell the computer to give them their full family tree, for example.

I’m Welsh, and my wife is a Welsh speaker, and we both missed that one 🙈🤣

There’s a dirty joke there somewhere…

I’ve heard that if it’s cooked right, it’s really gooooo00000000ooooooood

sorry

Exactly. Then when you clean your bathroom, you clean up all the shit particles along with whatever else is in there.

From the two photos you’ve posted, it looks like there’s a little bit of the grooves left in the top of the screw, but not enough for your screwdriver to grip.

Try the rubber band trick first, mainly because it doesn’t cost you anything other than a rubber band to try. The combination of the little bits of the grooves and the grip from the band might do it.

If it doesn’t, a sacrificial screwdriver might work. You basically need to file off the pointy tip of the screwdriver until it can reach what’s left of the grooves, and unscrew it with a bit of downward pressure.

Good luck 👍

Well, it’s better than letting the tiny particles of shit float through your home until the smell disperses
