Gee, I can't imagine why they chose to drop this bomb today.

It's like they wanted it to be drowned in other news.

My wife is definitely team 'make it from scratch'.

She is also a very slow cook. We also have an infant that is currently taking up 110% of our time.

It's hard for me to justify spending two hours a night preparing a lunch for the next day. She likes to sleep in, so I never get to eat it fresh.. it's always leftovers.

I don't mind cooking something fresh for lunch or dinner, but I'll do something that takes 20 minutes of prep and then take care of itself on the stove or in the oven. Chilli, pot roast, or a casserole.

I think frozen dinners probably have a better balance of protein/carbs/veg than either of us makes, and at half the price.

It was a shiny EGA card.

On an 8-bit ISA bus, with a whopping 64kB of VRAM. It could display an amazing 16 colours on one screen.

My friend who had a CGA card was so jelly with his four eye-soaring neon colours.

If we're talking accelerated graphics, I bought a voodoo 2 with 8mb of RAM which linked up to my ATI Mach 64 2d-card.

I've never stood in like for early voting in the EU. I've done it at my supermarket while getting groceries.

Grab a ballot and envelope, enter booth, do the thing, walk to desk, flash id, get crossed off list, watch volunteer put your envelope in another envelope and drop it in the ballot box.

In-and-out, three minutes.

Come to think of it, voting on election day has always been just as smooth. I just have to go to the library or some school, so it's not as convenient.

The theorem holds true. The theorem states that the monkey has infinite time, not just the lifetime of our universe.

That's just lazy science to change the conditions to make sensational headlines. Bad scientists!

The contributor above works at Baikal Electronics, which are a defense supplier in/for Russia, and therefore sanctioned.

The Linux Foundation is based in the US and have to bide by those sanctions.

Three years ago, I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 10 to replace her 10yo windows 7 machine.

It had hardware issues out of the box, and went in on two repairs. It works fine now, AFAIK.

But, she still doesn't trust it, and she doesn't think that she can move her Adobe CS6 license over to it..

I even bought her the affinity suite.

I'm starting to think she'll never move on from Windows 7.

I think the major browsers stopped supporting it sometime during the last year, so my best hope is that some included certificates will eventually make her favourite websites stop working. That has to force her over to something more recent.. right?

I use arch, btw.

I need to feel productive. Be it a programming project or woodworking. Just creating something new instead of maintenance like oil changes and mowing the lawn. Creating something new.

Also, take a walk in the forest. Get out on the water. Both are great therapy to disconnect from the mental todo-list of things going on around the house.

My library has a banned book clubs for teenagers.

Books don't get banned in my country, but they read and discuss books that are banned in other countries.

Also, you can check out a kill-a-watt to monitor your electricity consumption.

instead of healthcare

Where in the world are you? In my part my tax money goes far enough to pay for both. And free university studies so that no one has to take loans.

detectives believed he had a "great hatred of women, specially of the prostitute class, and had strong homicidal tendencies".

No shit, Sherlock.

Huh, this vegan dog shampoo has not been tested on animals.

I feel like that's the one product they should test on animals so that my dog doesn't have to be the guinea pig.
