So I guess New Zealand also like charging all over the place at speeds more likely to kill pedestrians?

Well yeah, but the reason I said it is that my city is on an isthmus and the easiest way to get from one side to the other is by highway.

Are you still in your 20s?

Hello from New Zealand.

'Appeal' isn't exactly the word. We just don't dislike him enough to kick him out.

50 kmh isn't much, even for city driving.

So much cynicism in these comments.

I worked on an ISP helpdesk in 1999 (including New Year, to my disgust), and we had dozens of people call in during the next few days because systems they relied on to run their businesses had failed.

The fact they were calling an ISP about their accounting software is probably an indicator of the type of thinking that caused their problem.

Is it useful to be that reductive?

 

I'm currently at a boardgame convention and while I'm pretty ignorant about the hobby, I've seen some nice looking tokens here.

 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

 

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂

 

I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?
