I think it wouldn't really taste that interesting, because it's only meant to be used as a standardized point of comparison for other manufacturers when they're testing batches of their own products. I recall NileRed did a video making cookies out of a bunch of standard reference ingredients, and I don't remember if he said at the end they were bland or awful, but he didn't like them. The reference stuff simply isn't meant for eating or for use in cooking.

Wish it could've imploded on its own without threatening the lives of so many people.

Screw going back. If I had an easy way to leave the country and renounce my US citizenship to become the citizen of a different nation, I would. Not sure if I'd necessarily want to do so in Canada, seeing as its southern border is touching this rotten hell-on-earth icon of hubris, but it would still be a welcome start.

Yeah, Sloth was a real one. This is doing him dirty.

I switched to Mint a few weeks ago. There was no particular reason at that time, just all the general discontent with Microsoft built up since they released Windows 8, but things like this make me glad I did. Also glad that I've mostly not had any issues with the switch. Proton and wine are amazing.

As an American, this is good slang. I hate it here.

Water goes towards holes in the floor below it, so if a hole is too close, the water won't spread. I see one behind the water next to the wall. Fill that hole and any others you find, and it should spread out.

I work retail in a state in New England. My experiences have been getting sirred (and occasionally ma'amed when I am turned away, which is better than nothing) by customers asking for directions all the time. Constantly, and not just by older folk. Maybe it's a cognitive bias that I'm not recognizing, and my area is more like you described and I've just been unlucky, but I hate it so much either way.

I don't want to be called that, or see or hear anyone else be referred to as that. It's a very gross and single minded way to refer to another human being, because it's just the boiling down of a person into a porn category, kind of like the T slur.

I'm trans so it's not just the kid photos for me, even ones from as recent as four years ago give me this feeling. While I'm not yet out or passing, so other people still see me as I was and not as I will be, when I look at old photos I have issues recognizing myself, I just see a stranger. Something about the tiny little changes in the face that HRT does I guess.

The DRM is optional for use by the devs. Rimworld is one game I know doesn't use it, you can just zip the entire thing up and put it somewhere else and it'll run fine. It's still a launcher. But the only better alternative to a launcher is plain installers to download and hold onto like GOG provides as an alternative to its Galaxy launcher.

Extremely common thing to be into, too, but then the main thing that puts me off with foot people is the same thing that puts me off with any fetishes; creeps who don't know boundaries. If your thing is feet, it doesn't matter that it's the summer and everyone is wearing flip flops, don't bother people or act creepy. And online, don't dm girls with demands for foot pics. The worst people in a fetish community are always the first people anyone see, and they always give the rest a bad name.

I don't remember where I got this, probably the locked 196, probably a year or more ago
