I’ve often that about that if I could design a house, I’d have a room just like this. Like there would be a section of the house that was tower like and the only way to get to the room at the top would be to take an exterior balcony-like-staircase from the second floor to the room in question - the sole room on the “third floor”.

There’s just something about a room like that that makes it fell so isolated, peaceful and serene. And the exterior access makes it feel like a little adventure getting there. Like if the weather were bad you might opt not to go there because it would mean gearing up to make the trip.

Phonograph commits the same sin as every other player in that swipe changes tabs and is therefore a total waste of a premium gesture.

I went into the offline mobile music player rabbit hole recently too. I tried like a dozen and personally I think none of them are sufficient, including Symphony.

The most important functionality for me is queuing e.g. how it works and how easy it is to use and it’s just a horrible experience for virtually every player. So disappointing 😣

“Might be cool”

Neuters negative campaigning, increases political competition, no more lesser of two evils I.e. third parties can win, reduced disenfranchisement reducing influence of extremist and fascist organizations, the list goes on. People actually being able to express their will through the government is the solution to every problem.

And I hate to say it but your support for PSL means nothing, literally zero without something like RCV. So again, if you care about your party, you have to work for RCV or some other improved voting system, or you’ll smugly do nothing for the rest of your political career. It sucks, but it’s reality until we change it.

You’re way better of spending your time and effort getting ranked choice voting implemented. Then this candidate you support would actually have a chance of getting elected. And with the increased power over our government, stopping the next genocide in it’s tracks would be trivial.

It’s a million times more effective to protest by getting ranked choice voting as our voting system so we can end the duopoly and actually have control over our government when we really need it, like to stop genocides.

Which why we need a voting system that can end the duopoly without enormous sacrifice. Ranked Choice Voting can do that. If really hate the duopoly, you have no excuse not to join us and get RCV implemented everywhere. Check out FairVote for more info and to locate movements near you.

Join the movement for ranked choice voting so we can end the duopoly!

Missourians who see this, vote NO on 7 to stop the ban!

doesn’t treat its viewer as an idiot

A lot of what you said is reasonable but this is absolutely laughable. As someone entering their thirties, this is the single most annoying aspect of anime and it’s especially blatant in works aimed at teenagers. And trust me, I’m not here to hate - this stuff isn’t aimed at me and that’s okay, but claiming most anime doesn’t do this or that not virtually 100% of shonen does this is absurd.

Can someone explain this to me? Is it just a very very simple sex joke or…?

More details on this?

Upfront, they were not perfect. The recipe I got was good/treaty and it definitely scratched the same kind of itch, but I don’t think it was particularly close in terms of flavor.

HOWEVER, I think there are several factors to improve results.

1. Not everyone you could hire is going to be the same caliber. Some will be better than others and finding the best may not be easy. I don’t think I ended up hiring the best candidate.

2. Actual sample analysis. I was prepared to send the scientist a sample of the drink but they claimed they didn’t need it and I trusted their judgment. In the future, I would look to hire only someone who will analyze the sample with lab equipment.

I know it’s not something everyone can afford to do but - When a drink I liked seemed like it was going out of production I paid a food scientist on Fiverr to reverse engineer it. Worth considering.

Both useful for… YOUR MOM!

I think sqft isn’t a great metric for understanding three size or feel of a house, especially for US Americans. I think most houses have rooms that are too big for their uses, especially bedrooms. When I was looking into moving a year ago I found a house with the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms as my current house but 1/3rd smaller in sqft. And I WANTED to move there because the house was cooler and nicer than mine!

I’m sorry. It honestly ruined the show for me as soon as I noticed. When I first started watching it I was so excited to meet all kinds of varied people, especially from the MCs past, but once I got to Nadeko Snake I was like, “O, it’s waifus all the way down.”

I’m pretty sure reaction time doesn’t matter, as long as both players have the same reaction time, right? Like, reaction time could be 10 minutes and if one player sees the stimuli 1ms faster than the other, then they will react first and (assuming their decision making is correct) “win” the interaction.

The next test of usefulness would be real world variance of reaction time between people. For high level players, I would expect it to be very similar, and thus potentially a few ms improvement could take you from slower to faster than an opponent. But “very similar” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here since I don’t have exact numbers to look at.
