    This.

    Every time I think I’ve found a really clever, novel solution to a ultra specific graphics problem, someone else has already implemented it, usually much better than I’d have done, and was kind enough to put their code online for everyone to use.

    DAMN ASSHOLES, being smart and kind, so I can’t even feel cool for 4 minutes, before I fail at implementation. >:c

    If your heart holds even the tiniest itch for adventure, you’ll probably want to play this game. I don’t game as often anymore, because the older I get, the fewer experiences can really captivate me.

    Outer Wilds did. I have a friend who told me he teared up during the end game, without understanding why, and I remember someone on Reddit comparing it to a religious experience.

    It really makes you feel something.

    Like… man. Noone is even trying.


  • …nor do I have social media.

    He posted on social media. He smirked to himself. He was one of the good ones - not falling for the main stream as everyone else. The lack of introspection, sadly, eluded him. Soon he’d upload a political shitpost. This action would certainly be well thought out and prove itself to be extremely helpful for healthy political exchange.



  • Basically, the pan must be hot but not too hot.

    It sounds kinda stupid, but before I got used to my current pans, I always had to add a small drop of water to check whether I could start. As soon as the water began to boil, the pan was hot enough to cook (but wouldn’t just burn everything into a crisp).

    In theory, it’s really, really simple, but to be able to intuit the pans temperature, really felt like a boss move… for the first few times, until it just became second nature. I had to scrape off more than one egg before it clicked.


  • Its manufacturing requires relatively large quantities of fairly toxic and also very resistant chemicals. This means that when they enter the environment (and they will), they will poison it for a very long time, with consequences that are not yet fully understood.

    In addition, it decomposes when heated above 260°C and can detach from the pan and get into your food. Keep in mind that almost all oils start to smoke well before reaching this temperature, so you should be able to tell when you’ve just ruined your pan.

    In my opinion: hot stainless steel and a little butter will prevent food from sticking. This requires a (easy to learn, but still) technique, but once you got it, you can enjoy your stainless steel pan for basically forever.











  • I once got myself a small projector. It ran on Android. I didn’t want to connect it to my network. Unfortunately, an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot would sometimes pop up nearby, which the damn thing would connect to in order to download ads and bother me with nonsense.

    The workaround was to give it Wi-Fi, but block the internet connection in the router. The solution was to throw it away. Malicious little fuck.
