I assume this is some dumbshit middle manager who has made their career crusading against "stolen" soda refills for thirty years.

The McDonald's I go to has started using cups with RFID tags on the bottom and the soda fountain blinks up a warning when you use it that says you have 59 minutes and 1 refill remaining. I'm sure the 175 million dollars they spent on that system will pay for itself

this is the kind of thing to make me repeatedly refill my cup and dump it down the drain out of spite

We ordered a few of the meal prep boxes because we were tired/burnt out and didn't feel like having to do poo poo like coordinate ingredients across meals while all restaurants were shutting down.

The thing that really surprised me with some of them is how well-organized the recipes are. Somehow when they tell you it takes half an hour to prep and cook the whole thing, it takes half an hour. They appear to really care for breaking down the recipes in steps that work well in parallel and even if you got the whole meal and sides and 3 different types of cooking, they make it fit within the time and everything is fine and organized. It's been surprising how much simpler that made things compared to grabbing random recipes from books or websites where you got to more or less end up doing the scheduling yourself.

I'm now thinking of just grabbing the recipes from their websites and doing the groceries myself just because they've been so much more pleasant to actually cook than whatever I'd personally come up with because I was never taught about that sort of organization and planning of individual steps when it came to individual meals for dinner (and doing that bit yourself is more work for sure)

apparently recipe times do not include the mise en place because everybody does that differently, so I'm not surprised the meal boxes get that right since they're mise en place in a box

3 priests at a church here that refused to stop doing services and weddings have covid now, what a shocker. the archdioceses of sf is a real piece of work, I think he was specially selected to troll west coast liberals

e: isn't there literally a bit in the bible about how it's ok to skip church in case of plague?

not that I remember, but there's some pretty good verses about how performatively praying is worthless and some real good ones about whipping everybody who commercialized the worship of god

Every fireplace in our house was disabled and made impossible to use. pretty impressive. I guess the drive to modernize was really that crazy in the fifties.

Nah, the basic design principle of masonry fireplaces is that they'll be used, in particular during the rainy months of the year. If you're not keeping them hot, they'll absorb moisture and fall apart in the freeze-thaw cycles.

So if your primary source of heat isn't burning wood, you're better off sealing them off completely.

At a bare minimum you should put a cap over the flue and regularly paint the entire exterior surface with masonry sealant.

measles is so bad

it�s got an R of like 18 meaning in average a person infects 18 others

it�s not aerosol like covid but airborne meaning if measles man goes in an elevator and you go in a few hours later

but what�s probably worst of all is that the cells it infects are the immune memory cells so people who get measles might lose a significant amount of their immune memory meaning they can catch a whole bunch of stuff they were previously immune too

viruses can get hosed if you ask me

HIV?
ebola?

other than having cool names , including the word virus itself, and a notable cool synthesiser called a virus .. viruses aren�t cool

COVID is airborne, btw.

As a wheel of time fan I was disappointed from start to finish with the first episode, and probably won�t watch the rest. Even accepting that the show cant be the books, it�s just not well done. It�s like if Legolas surfed down the steps at helms deep and kickflipped the shield at the end, then looked directly into the camera just to make sure you knew the writers were doubling down on �this isn�t your grandpa�s LOTR�.

There�s a ton of overwrought severity in the acting and they lean way too much on an understanding of the source material to give meaning to what�s happening on-screen but at the same time, the people watching with that understanding are the ones most able to pinpoint how they�ve taken the thematic and character concepts from the books and done nearly the exact opposite. To everybody else it�s half fantasy Deadwood, half Moiraine glowstick raving, half M. Night�s Avatar.

Try at least the second episode.
