The smart people have done their nerdy number-wizardry and said it's not going to work but if your huge slingshot was tall enough to reach into space, you could just put the spaceship on top and call it a day. How to get it there is an exercise for the reader.

Reminds me of the 3D Maze screensaver.

I've got some bad news about the passage of time. You might want to sit down or firmly grip your walker for support.

I don't see that lens option.

Their war on facts continues.

More than a decade, I remember seeing it around 04 or 05.

Interesting, mobile in a browser or one of the apps? Here's how it looks for me (desktop browser):

@ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com If you want the line breaks (like what you have in the comment text box before saving your reply) to show up in your post, you can add two spaces after the text of a step:

(Robuchon method)

Boil mashing potatoes (like Yukon gold, depends on where you’re from though, that’s a USA variety)for a half hour
Mash with something like a food mill or ricer if available. Not strictly necessary but makes the next step easier
Heat on pot to evaporate excess moisture
Pass purée through very fine sieve - absolute pain but essential step, the finer the sieve the better. I have a 250um lab sieve that I use for this and it’s amazing
Back in pot, whisk in cold butter, up to 50% of the weight of the potatoes (robuchon uses 50%), whisk constantly once emulsified
Add hot milk to reach desired texture
Season with salt to taste and optionally with white pepper


(Blumenthal/Steingarten method)

Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, 1in cubes
Put in water with salt and sugar (200% water to potatoes, 3% salt, 2% sugar), bring to boil, simmer for 30 minutes
Drain
Add 1% weight of the potatoes diastatic malt powder (eg if you started with 500g potatoes add 5g powder) to the drained potatoes
Blend (it will be very smooth but sticky)
Put in a ziplock bag and try to get all the air out
Cook in a pot of water at 126F for 30 minutes (if you have sous vide use that, if not it’s not essential, just try to not let it get too hot)
Put it in a pan and cook to 167F
Season and serve

Which is why that error in diction shows up so often.

No, reigns would be incorrect.

Alt textI hear that there are actual lyrics later on in Land of 1,000 Dances, but other than the occasional 'I said,' I've never listened long enough to hear any of them.

Inspired by this post.

 

I was in the middle of something in another room and it occurred to me that this familiar expression could be adapted for ADHD: A watched pot never catches fire. Good reminder to exercise a little extra caution in the everyday tasks that get boring but are still dangerous if you get complacent. Driving, cooking, poking around in a running computer with screwdriver even though you know you should shut it off, that sort of thing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I should get back to cooking breakfast before the "food is done" alarms start going off throughout the building.

User @soraya@lemmy.world (Soraya Pepe) is advertising a forum service as well as a booking site where you can order donuts* that they'll deliver to your hotel room. They are using bit.ly links to obscure links to their forum topics in community sidebars as well. These communities are !free@lemmy.world and !woman@lemmy.world.

Donuts*Probably not donuts.

 

@comcreator@lemmy.world has created 80+ communities here, most of which are empty save for a "Looking for moderators" post. Some have 0-3 posts which are nearly all from the creator and a couple have some regular user activity.

I recognize that this may not be against the rules as long as it's not simply for the purpose of squatting on a name but is worth observing for future developments. It does not appear that this user intends to actively moderate since they're looking to hand those communities off as soon as they're created.

Edit: And it's gone. Thanks!
