Carrots often have dirt caked on the outside that’s hard to get off with just water, so peeling is a good way to help with that.
The peel has the healthy bits
Sort of, but not really. The nutrients of a carrot may be slightly more concentrated in the skin, but all layers of a carrot contain those nutrients. You’re not depriving yourself of an appreciable amount of nutrients by peeling a carrot.
I frequently cook tomatoes in cast iron/carbon steel, it doesn’t do any significant damage to the seasoning that can’t be repaired with a quick stovetop re-seasoning.
I like how in the second step two, the toaster becomes wireless, and in the second step one, it transforms into a serving platter
Yeah for sure, it’s not for everyone, and getting through the whole series is borderline a chore lol.
I’m reading through The Wheel of Time for the second time right now and my experience has been different. It’s crazy how the tone changes from the first book to the last, and the amount of character development that occurs. I think each book is been better than the last, and each for different reasons.
What is it with people trying to turn the entirety of October, November, and December into Christmas?
It’s one single night, it’s not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.
What’s next, celebrating other holidays in the actual month that they fall in?
I watched it on an international flight after a couple whiskey and cokes and had a great time
They also like women’s underwear because of the pheromones.
You really just casually slipped that in there huh
Some of us don’t have LIDAR-eyes, cut us some slack
Yes, the acting is better in the prequels than the original trilogy. The main character actors in the prequels had no idea what they were doing, and you could tell. I think part of that was writing, and part was inexperience on the actors’ parts. The prequels kept the bad writing, but at least had more experienced actors reading that terrible script for the most part, which makes a noticeable difference in acting quality. Keep in mind, the prequels have more characters in them than Anakin and Padme - I feel like you’re tunneling on those two.
IDK, I kind of agree with them. As a 90s kid, the originals didn’t really impress 12-year-old me. The acting was amateurish and cheesy, the “special effects” were cheesy, the story was extremely cliche by that point, the writing was 18-month aged Parmesan cheesy. To 12-year-old-me, the prequels had slightly better acting, better special effects, a much more compelling and interesting story, and the writing was still pretty cheesy. Maybe the dark, brooding main character really did it for my 12-year-old emo self, I dunno. But yeah, I don’t think it’s that crazy to prefer the prequels to the original trilogy. Like, looking back, neither trilogies really hold up, but the originals are very much propped up pretty much just because they were “revolutionary” nearly fifty years ago.
I’ve never experienced any critical part of a refrigerator break in my >30 years on this earth. Sorry you can’t say the same.
The hassle isn’t just in connecting it to the Wi-Fi, it’s in securing and monitoring it to ensure it stays secure, so that I’m not giving people a foothold into my home network.
I’m glad it worked out for you in that one instance, but I’m not worried enough about my fridge breaking down to where I need to constantly monitor it remotely. Refrigerators are an incredibly old, well developed, reliable technology. The added hassle of an Internet connection isn’t worth it to me. If it is to you then fine, but your single anecdote is worth about as much as my hypotheticals, unless we’re talking about some novel, untested refrigeration technology.
K, but if you’re expecting someone to be at your home to immediately inspect your malfunctioning refrigerator, then we’re back to an audible alarm being just as good
The notification on your phone or whatever also isn’t super useful if you’re many miles away.
I know you didn’t ask, but you don’t need a weird fork of emacs to run a Clojure REPL, that just works in regular emacs
Can confirm, as someone who spent multiple study halls trying to program a top down shooter on his calculator
ChatGPT is famously bad at the things you’d use a calculator for though
