When Kissinger went to Hell I shared a bottle of Samsong Whiskey (Rum) with a friend I worked in Asia with. It was nice to have something local. We celebrated his first anniversary in a similar manner.

It is what it means to you that’s important though.

Maybe Mark Lee and Jan Davis on STS-47 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-47

It keeps forever in the freezer. It’s great for tortillas and pie crust too. I’d take it all.

It’s probably because you are the only person to ban me from a sub, on Lemmy, Reddit, anywhere, and you banned me from 7 different subs I had never even posted in. Then you never replied to my questions about why I was banned. Yepowertrippinbastard.

Just sayin’

Duct tape of course

You can harvest the transformers for a couple junk microwaves to make an arc welder.

If you aren’t experienced then pretty much all power supplies, battery backups, and motors should be left to someone else.

I saw someone lose a finger (later reattached) to a washing machine with a jammed tub. It was plugged in and on when they reached underneath it and yanked the belt, their sleeve ducked their hand into the drive wheel.

That said, if it fits your personality it can be both fun and satisfying to learn how to fix stuff. I try to teach anyone who’s interested and asks. Except LG washing machines, those things can fuck right off.

That’s true.

Do you happen to know of any countries where the allowable level of contamination is zero?

I knew someone would come back with something like this.

You can pretty much forget about eating the things I listed then, oh and dried pasta too.

Besides, if you don’t think you’re eating that stuff already then you haven’t looked at the USDA or FDA Food Defect Levels. There are allowable levels for fun things like insect parts and rodent droppings.

You can put whatever they have infested in the freezer for a few days, then pick them out and transfer the contents to a sealed container.

When I lived in the tropics it was quite normal to have these in flour, grains, dried legumes, dried chillies etc.

Game Changer, a stupid phrase that is so overused it has become meaningless

The red arrow in the photo points to exactly how the two pieces must be aligned

Off the top of my head though I can’t think of any that are based on a persons name. Rod, Chain, Peck, Hogshead etc.

For length there is a Smoot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot

Edit: it’s 1.702 metres/ 5’7"

Is that what the whole thing is with jackfruit burgers and pulled jackfruit? They’re using the byproducts?

The original SMS version of Twitter.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was always best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

Actually I still don’t understand why anyone wants to use Twitter.

According to the email, the patch emitted a stench of biblical proportion s so this checks out.

It’s Strong bad email #88 fwiw

It’s not just about telling time though. It’s about representing things in a different way. Correlating one thing to another, and making someone think until the representation automatically becomes the output. You are forced to see things in a different way, which is what learnding is all about.

Conde hasn’t owned reddit in a while.

That’s only technically true since Advance owns Conde

That’s what I use an old phone for. In the kitchen it’s a timer, notepad, and music player. I read the news on it while having coffee.

I could do that all on my main phone of course but if I’m cooking or having coffee my main phone is both off and elsewhere. I don’t like to be disturbed.

Oh, and I use it to test apps before they go on my main phone.

I am not the person you are replying to.

I read a lot of papers and it is hard if you don’t have background knowledge of the subject. If it’s something I am really interested in, then I will dive deep, if it’s not I will probably let it go when I get to the point where I no longer grasp what’s being said.
