Shortening the longer leg is much less invasive and probably preferred, but the discrepancy has to be caught very early. You need years of measurements to predict exactly how long each leg will be and when. If you have those, there's a pretty small window when the long leg is exactly the right length to tell it to stop growing.

I'm not sure if these will exactly fit the bill for horror for you, but they scratched a similar genre itch for me:

  • The Terror - Dan Simmons
  • Plain Bad Heroines - Emily M Danforth

America's test kitchen has done that, although I can't find one that addresses all the bits of misinformation.

This one is pretty ok, but doesn't address all things, and doesn't specifically call out the myths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUComSZbZ7o

Notably missing is tomatoes/highly acidic foods. IIRC, it's fine if the duration is short (about 15 minutes). Shakshuka and quick tomato sauces should be fine, but don't make Grandma's all-day tomato sauce. Regardless, for these contexts I'd still grab stainless if that's an option, but mostly for ease of use/cleaning

I usually rinse them. The spines relax enough when wet.

Alternatively there's the golden kiwis which have skin that remind me of pears, just thicker. They don't have spines. I'd still to prefer to rinse them, but more because you should rinse fruits and veggies if you're going to eat the skin.

I hope you can find another bread product that's perfect for bushy eyebrows.

Ooh and maybe tiny bagels for eyes. That might be too silly or too small

Too many. I wish Lemmy had post tags, it would make things easier. There are communities I would be interested in, if I had any tools to help see the things I care about.

I'm left with more politics than I'd like, but that's still preferable to anything I block.

Broadly speaking:

Memes Anime, mostly due to all the anime girl communities Sports Foreign language communities if I really can't read anything, or I'm seeing too many posts in a row from them Communities that aren't for memes but that are overrun with them. Sometimes if this is driven by a particular user I might block them instead Communities with porn in the name

Even for non-niche interests, it was nice to have at least some spaces where memes were against the rules.

Here that's quite rare. It ends up being much more politics heavy, and still with more memes than I'd care to see even with heavy blocking of communities.

Support for tags would help. Or an option to auto collapse comments with inline images.

They also get more bitter the longer they're cooked. Even with the new variety, I suspect boiling Brussels sprouts might be off the table. Higher temps, or raw (shredded and put in a salad) may get you results you actually like.

Roasting at 230C (450F) for up to about 20 minutes should be good. You may be able to go as high as 260C (500F). If they look slightly burnt when they come out, that's good. The bitter flavors that develop from burning are related to sugars, so brussel sprouts are largely immune.

I didn't have brussel sprouts I liked until the 2010s, but now they're one of my favorites.

That does sound great! Ham isn't necessarily a bad ingredient, it's just unusually difficult to tell if it'll be good or it'll suit your tastes, especially with more inexpensive kinds.

It doesn't look like a hardware issue. Yes, the less powerful hardware is what forced graphical changes, but it looks like an art direction problem.

The changes mostly fail to capture the essence of the original design. The characters look like they were ripped from the SIMs.

No one is expecting the same lighting, textures, or poly counts, but they do expect something that looks like Mortal Combat. That isn't an unreasonable expectation.

You're right that this may be a budgeting issue of sorts, but if they can't set aside enough resources to make it look like some sort of Mortal Combat game, then maybe they shouldn't have made the port.

I had heard books having titles on their spine is relatively recent. Partially due to books being stored like they are here, to prevent the pages from rotting. Allegedly titles started to be printed on spines with Alice in Wonderland, at least for mass-produced books.

I'm having trouble coming up with a source, Wikipedia mentions early books not having titles on the spine, but doesn't mention storage or when this practice changed. Or a source. That's as far as I was able to track any of this down.

All this to say, there might be prior precedent for this. Which for me moves her behavior (even if that's not her stated reason) towards eccentric, rather than book-hating.

At the start of the word it's an acute accent. Like in école or état.
