Always surprised how many people evidently don't know how to use a microwave. They are, like many things, useful if you use them right.

Because the number of people/households who consume equal amounts of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream seems limited. And I don't think there's much to be gained by eating all three at once. Therefore it seems like something that has very little utility, so I'm surprised it would spread. Plus I can't say I have any knowledge of it being invented outside the US, since to me it feels very.... 1950s America vibe.

TBH I'm somewhat surprised to hear that it's even a thing outside of north america.

This is often called "Neapolitan" ice cream in america.

At the end of the day I'd rather medical research be conducted on dogs than humans (at least, prior to when things are ready for human trials). But also I'm pretty sure it's regulated what can be tested on different kinds of animals. The bar for testing on rodents is for example much lower than the bar for primates.

That would still require you to create an account, which is the part of the process people object to.

Sigh, it used to be a good piece of software...before Microsoft bought it. I'm not a fan of gboard though. I want something that is very customizable.

I think it's Denver. I could be wrong though.

I can say that in the case of enterprise windows setups, the system caches your login credentials if it can't reach the domain controller, so that you can still log in even if you're not on the corporate network. I imagine it does similar for windows accounts (but I never use one so I can't say for sure).

I wish news outlets wouldn't use that false color photo for all of their stories about Pluto.

Well it's probably the music labels. They basically only exist to steal money from the actual creators.

I use SwiftKey, though.

Well notepad still exists. Even though that's not my normal text editor (I use Visual Studio Code) I use notepad for simple text manipulation frequently.

It's even worse on mobile. I have no idea how to do this without changing my phone's whole locale.

There was an AMA on reddit last week from someone who managed DMs for OF models. Their job was basically to get people hooked and thinking that they had a real relationship with these models via DMs...when the people weren't even talking to the actual models at all. I think that probably qualifies as despicable.

This sounds like a bad poll, frankly.

I've used that method many times, and while it certainly reduces the time it takes to peel in bulk, I've never found that it fully removed the peels from the majority of cloves, which means they still need individual attention to complete the job. Or put another way...it's still a pain in the ass.

I mean...this is a completely unstandable thing to do if you need a large amount of whole garlic. Despite many "tricks" that people use, peeling a large amount of garlic still takes a long time.

Yeah I've completely switched to audio.

They appear to have degrees of blacklist. Usually when this happens if I get a new ip it resolved the issue.

Note that VPN users share IPs with other users and many of the people using the same IP may very well actually be doing malicious things. Not everyone uses VPNs for just "privacy".
