  • If you just want great scrambled eggs without adding anything else and can be arsed: separate the yolks and cook the whites to your preferred consistency. Then, turn off the heat and whisk in the yolks straight away. The residual heat cooks through but by cooking them less than the whites you get a lot more flavour.

  • Back in the days when you could dial numbers using the hook. Great for those taxi phones in supermarkets that had the keypad covered over.

  • Yeah, I wonder how robust an ereader and one of those solar phone chargers would be? I seem to recall English Wikipedia takes up about 5GB, so you could probably bring a good chunk of Project Gutenberg too.

  • Here's a good example of why you should read all the instructions before you begin. Also, if anyone reading this is planning in spending any time at the DeMonfort Vale Fisheries this weekend I'll warn you now: the fish are all fucked up.

  • YES THAT IS CORRECT AND NOBODY NEEDS TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE.

  • Waaaaaaaaay too expensive, but I'd love it if big eink displays became a thing, even with shit refresh rates, mostly because I want some for displaying Home Assistant dashboards.

  • This still works. Most debit and credit cards can still be used to authorise offline payments up to a set limit, though it's kinda of moot if the PDQ's battery is dead.

  • This depends on where and why. I know that in some parts of the Carribbean, for example, most towers will only last a day or two, but there are some that can last weeks with satellite backhauls providing minimal service to large areas.

  • Yeah, I have this conversation and lot on the sad truth is that until there's a Linux distro that's as manageable as Windows is with Group Policy, no big organisation is adopting it. Unfortunately, nothing in the Linux space comes close.

  • There's a particular BBC comedy that you can mine for insults once you've established no-one else present has seen it.

    • He's so dense light bends around him.
    • As useless as a marzipan dildo
    • As useless as lube at a funeral
    • I've never seen anyone look so fucking ugly with just one head
    • Do you know 90% of household dust is made of dead human skin? That's what you are to me.
    • Watching him work is like watching clown running across a minefield.
    • He's here, depriving a village somewhere of their twat.
    • I'm like flypaper for dickheads today.
    • Sorry I'm late. Traffic was an absolute bitch. No offence.
  • My personal variation, "couldn't organise a pissup in a pissupery".

  • Dihydrogen Monoxide can make your lungs shut down, killing you, and if gets into your blood it can cause your brain to swell, also killing you. Cancer, Coronavirus and Polio all thrive in environments rich in hydrogen monoxide. If a building's foundations are exposed to dihydrogen monoxide it can lead to structural collapse, and it causes painful blistering and instant cell death if flesh is exposed to it in its gaseous form. Despite this, the food industry - clamouring for profits above all other considerations - uses dihydrogen monoxide throughout the food production process, meaning this dangerous chemical is present in almost all processed foods.

  • SHOCK reaction as bait comment fallout nixes OP campaign success chances, experts warn.

  • Smarty user here. Seems like there's a lot of us. UK, £14/mo for unlimited everything with no throttling (I've tried). Includes EU/EEA roaming capped at 12GB.

  • Entire confection 👅

  • You beat me to it. There's something particularly effective about someone who basically never swears dropping a single "fuck" into a sentence and I get the same feeling here.

  • Good for you on overcoming Rand's bullshit worldview. And, yeah, Threads is still terrifying all these years later. That, and When The Wind Blows.

  • By the time I'm fifty I expect I'll wake up with sun beaming through the window and I'll smile, stretch, lean over to the bedside table and just go full-on Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

  • I can't be bothered reading the article but could someone clarify for me: is the fountain of pee the means or the recipient of the communication?
