It’s nicer, for when you have guests over, for example. You could always pipe the cream, I guess, but that’s even more work

Carbon dioxide would produce curdled cream, that much I know.

Looks like it’s only a half-ban, really.

For example, someone buying a single canister on a weekday alongside other household and baking goods differs to young people buying a number of nitrous oxide canisters on a weekend.

Which I find funny because I do have a large stock of nitrous cartridges, and am a young person.

So if I were living in the UK, I’d be a criminal, got it.

But on a more serious note, how am I supposed to whip cream now? I understand banning it as a drug, but what about the main purpose of nitrous?

I think in the eyes of the Government it makes a lot of sense to act the way they do, it’s a great casus belli that has been dropped into their lap to ‘finally’ wipe out Gaza.

Fair. Although it is nice seeing needlessly well built products when they do pop up (as long as you don’t need to pay for that extra build quality, of course)

Frozen fruit as in normal packets of frozen whatever? It’s an interesting idea you mentioned, tell me more

It was a badly thought out product, I agree. It also failed quite spectacularly because of it. I just brought it up because it was actually a really good deal based on the device quality itself. Sadly the entire press can’t even use normal burlap pouches with fruit inside, it doesn’t produce the pressure. It might have been a turd, but by god, they put as much gold on it as they could.

I think juicers themselves can be a good product, but not with an idiotic business model behind it too. Oh and they should not require WiFi access for DRM verification of the juice packets and device.

I mean it’s partially true, do you remember Juicero? The entire goal was to get you integrated into the subscription model. It was well built, but they still priced it in a way that would make people want to buy the service needed to actually use it. Most companies either want subscriptions, or willingly lower build quality just to be able to sell you a new version within a shorter timeframe

You then run into the issue of manufacturers not having enough time to roadmap/push prequels out the door. 2035 seems like a long time away, but realistically it’s 12 years. That’s just about enough time for a large manufacturer to push out a solid platform and ensure it’s good enough. Any less time and most legacy automakers probably wouldn’t make it.

Look at the i3 and i8 from BMW. The i3 first released in 2013. In those 10 years they barely managed to introduce a second generation of electric vehicles. Now I’ll admit they weren’t focussed on it, but development takes time.

If you’ve got a problem, it’s on you to solve

Isn’t that exactly what NNN aims to do, at a general level? A peer-pressured event to at least give most people a reason not to watch porn for a bit.

The same idea going for things like r/nofap. I’ll absolutely believe that the sub has become cult-like and incelfilled, as I haven’t gone there myself. But at least on the surface it’s a group of people trying to solve a problem they have, no? (And some people taking advantage of that, or of other issues the people there have)

What about the overconsumption of porn? It seems fairly logical that too much of anything can bring about harmful side-effects. Even if you do not let the bodies you seen in porn change how you view people in real life, it still represents some level of desensitisation.

It has already been shown that porn addiction is much the same as any other addiction, that is, it brings the same general side effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3050060/

Indeed. I upgraded to a new phone recently, and honestly outside of the storage bump there’s very little noticeable difference. Even with the new display cutout, it barely changed my usage habits in a meaningful way. Sure the camera is nicer, but objectively I don’t use it much either.

Can it really be considered completely unhealthy though? I’m going to assume that jerking off every day isn’t exactly particularly healthy either. Certainly consuming pornographic content day in day out isn’t that good for you.

Half-foreign. That’s enough to generate a higher interest in her compared to full ‘locals’

The issue, I’d assume, is that you end up replacing generic masculine words with two words. ‘Dear bakers and female-bakers’ for example. When the more logical approach is to simply turn the generic masculine into the generic it’s being used as anyway. In English, for example, a fireman or policeman does not need to be male, and it suffices to say ‘he is a fireman, she is a fireman’.

You think they should get things for free? If you want a 500000$ missile, you better be able to pay for it. Wishes and thanks don’t pay the bills or put food on the table.

I’m all for removing idiotic export restrictions to Ukraine, they should be able to purchase anything they need, but if they don’t want to pay, that’s theft.

By doing controlled burns. You basically light an area on fire while it is safe to do so, and that burns up the dry material in that area. Ergo- less combustible material in times of drought.

Also, it helps clear old trees so that new trees can grow. (Additionally redwoods require fire to sprout, iirc)

I mean, it’s the half-assed draft that was announced a long time back, but still, better than nothing

Because we’re trying to specifically reach those crazy people who reject even the mention of vaccines in a beneficial light. Everyone else is, for the most part, already vaccinated.

Think about the optics though: if the vaccines are free, WHY are they free?
The answer that group will give: Bill Gates is subsidizing his microchips so we will all be infected with them.
