I'm sure it does. I can read both ways, but I find a read both more enjoyable and I find myself able to really take in the information more thoroughly when I ready with subvocalization.

Oh yeah, I get it. I can actually fairly reasonably speed read, but honestly I enjoy reading slower and mentally listening to the book ya know? It used to bother me, but honestly, why? I find when I read like that I absorb the details so much better than seemingly a lot of people. I'll talk about a book with someone and it's often clear that I took in the little details and maybe even saw more foreshadowing and setup than some people that read much faster.

Reply to TIFU by descaling the kettle, forgetting about it, and having my mom drink vinegar by Shady_Scientist
I'm gonna save you some money, you absolutely do not need to make your solution that strong. It can easily be 50/50 if not honestly like 25/75 most of that being water. I live in an area where I literally need to descale my kettle like every other week or the water is coming out with flakes in it. It's perfectly clean with a fairly weak solution boiled in the kettle.

Then drop it. Sometimes bringing it up, even if you really are sorry isn't the correct way to handle the situation. He may simply not want to think about it.

Yeah, but then saving the lard and cooking my veggies in it? That's hardly just once.

As a man, you might not be responsible for the actions, but you are responsible for recognizing them.

I wonder if cast iron might be a bit better for a slower temp rise and then more consistent temp. I switched to cast iron after moving to my new apartment because the glass top stove is so inconsistent with heat and the stainless fluctuates too quickly.

Duck looks outstanding. Decent sear, maybe could be a shade more but honestly I'd hardly complain if I did this myself. Inside looks perfect.

Reply to comment by bulbous_plant in Why has rap become so popular over the last 10-15 years! by [deleted]
Cause people like it. It's lyrically complex, uses interesting beats, builds on other very popular genres. What exactly are you asking? Rap has been popular for decades. It's not really that old of a genre in the grand scheme of music and it didn't take very long for it to catch on. As the internet and such as made music easier to obtain and listen to it's going to spread more and more.

We have to be able to navigate significantly more complicated systems than we did say 100 years ago. People need to be able to identify false from factual information in a way today that we didn't necessarily contend with. Today we all drive, in busier streets, with faster cars. And we aren't all dying constantly. Team games, sports, video games, board games, the lot are more complicated than ever. Do your grandparents complain that things are too simple these days?

I don't disagree with that, but I think intentions matter. And from what I can see, the intention was to trick the masses into giving him power personally. I think what he did caused damage to progressive movements for literal millennia.

Ehh I'm not so sure about that. He actively worked with one of the greediest capitalists of all time. His partner for many years, Crassus, started a fire dept that would respond to fires by offering to put it out if you sold him the property at a dirt rate price. And if you refused, he'd go to your neighbor and do the same knowing the fire would spread. Better to get something than nothing if it burnt down. Caesar just seized on the power of the masses. Promise people everything and they'll vote for you. And when he was in power, he didn't really do a whole lot of what he said. He did basically the minimum.
In fact, how Caesar acted was exactly why the electoral college exists. Populism as an idea is often brought back to him. I'm as progressive as it gets, but he used progressive ideals and promises to earn power and renown and by all appearances didn't really intend on fully going through with it.

Just buy some pie crusts or make them - it's like the easiest thing to bake ever. Fill them with whatever you feel like. Pies are like the easiest of desserts to be left in charge of.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that the damage on the back of King Tut's skull was due to mishandling of his remains rather than a fatal blow to the head. by KelpCakeDanny
I've done a fair bit of research on him myself. Was fascinated in him at one point. I've read a lot of evidence that he was quite disabled from inbreading. But have also heard he was into hunting. However, there's some thought he was more interested in going with hunters and watching than actually participating. He'd have to have been quite strong for a disabled 12 year old.

Maybe, but I think it's just a repost. I remember reading this a few years back. I remember the detail about hoolahooping on the bed. I remember her saying the thing about frat boys. I remember him being 22 and her expecting him to be more mature. Too many of the same details so my guess is just pure repost. Maybe a repost rewritten by an AI asked to do so.
