Instructions unclear, clay blown away by optical radiation pressure.

Onions could also be pressure canned, if the world is ending. They keep well enough they're not usually an issue for me, though, unlike literally all other produce except common tubers and maybe cabbages.

Lentils in shakshuka is a neat idea! I'll have to try that if I ever have to feed more than two with it. Do you use canned or dried? Funny enough, I have tried to make mujadara, although I don't think I "nailed it", and found it kind of bland. Any tips on seasoning?

Why is this downvoted? It's a long list literally just because of writing style, if that's the issue. I guess an hour is a little on the long side, but lots of people are throwing out slowcooker recipes.

Roast brussels sprouts and sausage in an oven, with certain spices. Come back when it's done. Better?

Pretty much all of them. I've made it a project to feed myself with just nonperishables given like 30 minutes of cooking a night, and I'm about 75% of the way there, I'd say. Salad greens and eggs seem to be impossible to replace, but I can realistically have my own chicken coop and a little growing area indoors. Canadian food prices and qualities are fucked, yo, especially away from big centers.

Last night, I had stierum with a simple salad. It's a bit like a single, big savoury pancake, and you eat it cut into cubes. The dressing is cream (the one rule-breaking element, for now), a dash of vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. I like to let it soak into the bread a bit

On nights I really DGAF, my go-tos are pasta with jarred sauce, or shakshuka. You can get shakshuka sauce in a jar now, so you just empty it into a frying pan, crack four eggs in, and cover until they're cooked. Serve with toast, which you can butter with vegetable oil or ghee.

You can make a vegetarian pulled pork with canned green jackfruit, an onion, bottled barbecue sauce, buns and jarred red cabbage and apple in place of the coleslaw. You pretty much pull apart the jackfruit, and add it with the sauce to sauteed onions. It's delicious, all three components are slightly sweet and they go together well.

I'll stop there, unless somebody is actually interested, but I've got a few more.

I... Actually don't know.

The real time clock continues to move in real time under reasonable conditions. If it's in a weird year it's either because you've decided to run a disk you found in a cave, left by the Ancient Ones, or you're cheating at Animal Crossing.

I'm a little unclear on how the rest of the clocks typically work together. If your program is drawing from one that gets stopped for a while, I guess yeah, a minute could totally be weeks long, and I'm in the picture as a falsehood believer.

I don't know if they would ever consider it, but they could split ridings with the NDP, so there would be a single main left-wing candidate in each. They could basically guarantee a win with even a few of those.

Proportional rep would be great. Still pissed that Trudeau just completely lied about that. If we do go there we should do what Norway does, where there's no snap elections, to avoid coalition instability problems.

I don't know what province you're in, but some of them have their own program.

You wouldn't be the first person who's sure they're not getting them, because they come as a direct deposit and slip under the radar.

Believe it or not, pulling money out of circulation and putting it promptly back in doesn't effect the total supply!

It's a canard for doing less about climate change without saying that outright, since their base demands the former and the broader public demands the latter. Plus, they get to talk about less taxes, which makes their other natural demographic happy.

I’ve never received a fucking dime back, and I’m in a very median tax bracket.

Are you sure? They send it out quarterly. I'm guessing you just didn't notice on your end.

The rebate is a small amount, because they only take a small amount.

Start a GoFundMe for an art commission. It comes with a good story and your needs are modest, so a free lunch might actually be achievable.

Otherwise, just use AI. The court cases seem unlikely to succeed, if you know how AI works, and you know that a judge is unlikely to throw out an entire industry over a tiny, difficult to measure contamination with questionable training data. Some of the shit we in the West import is produced by crime more often than not, after all. Even if they do stick somehow, they're probably not coming after you specifically.

It's an optical illusion caused by a very tiny temperature inversion in the atmosphere surrounding the event. /s

I think they just have an editorial policy about not stating the obvious when the obvious is something the courts have to rule on, legally speaking.

Actually, while mathematically heavy, it's easy to measure in GR, assuming you've got a metric solved (If you don't, you're fucked. That shit is intractable to the point where you can name every exact solution on one page, and inexact solutions can just be lies) However, you may have to ask additional questions about what sort of time you want, which probably stems from why you need it.

16. Ok, but the time on the server clock and time on the client clock would never be different by a matter of decades.
17. The system clock will never be set to a time that is in the distant past or the far future.

Does this come up? I feel like if you're doing retrocomputing you assume a certain level of responsibility for your software breaking.

22. Ok, but the duration of one minute on the system clock will be pretty close to the duration of one minute on most other clocks.
23. Fine, but the duration of one minute on the system clock would never be more than an hour.
24. You can’t be serious.

You can't be, can you? Ditto on that being the user's problem. My thing also isn't portable onto Zeus Z-2 or a billiard ball computer you built in your garage.

There's some weird shit in the crowdsourced ones. I don't even know where to start.

Clock misalignment comes up pretty frequently in some networking and networking-esque applications. Otherwise, yeah, the edge cases are indeed on the edge.

Subsecond precision comes up often in common applications too, but you can just expand out to milliseconds or whatever.

I'm guessing it's not alone. Every time format should come with a distance function and order function, or equivalent. If you have a life, that could mean something like subtraction.

Unfortunately, "should" isn't always enough. Optimally there's also type structure to the return of the function so you can't mix up seconds and days, or calendar and (one of the) standard length days.

Re: The mouseover text, is there a standard frame of reference for really general space stuff? I propose a frame comoving with the CMB and reaching the center of the Earth at Epoch 0 if not.

I can't decide if I'd rather do this, or put a hole in my parent's wall as a kid. I kind of think the latter would have hurt more.

Kevin should have rolled down the stairs in a tire instead. I bet that would actually work.

Wait, are you telling me Fight Club was unrealistic!? /s

Wow, yet another way our bylaws are terrible. It's starting to feel like it's on purpose.
