  • tl;dr - "The new findings suggest used coffee or tea could be a natural and sustainable way to improve the shelf life of baked goods, while at the same time infusing the products with added nutrients."

  • Sometimes I can't read a room either.

  • At that point, it's just cream.

  • Tom Swift and his Nuclear Atomic Asteroid Catcher

  • You sort them? I just keep the thousand-money bills and put the rest in the trash.
    also /s

  • "It's those darn shareholders! Our hands are tied!"

  • He got caught in a time distortion and wound up on Earth in the early 21st Century. He was able to survive by becoming a construction contractor in Star's Hollow Connecticut.

  • Regardless of how "civilized" humans are, borders are just lines on sheets of paper. The real border is where you can place your feet by use (or threat) of violence. The law between nations is the law of the jungle.

  • I told my friend about all my problems, and he said, "Cheer up! Things could be worse!"
    So, I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse.

  • Agreed. #1 advice from anyone is "invest in real estate because it's the only thing they're not making any more of." So even if a huge corporation owns nothing and just rents every inch of office space, most likely their investment strategy includes commercial real estate.

    Anecdotally, I happen to know of some people who threw a ton of money into local commercial buildings pre-pandemic, because that was the way the investor-class herd was going. These are people that I consider very wealthy, but are small potatoes compared to most of these big corporate CEO types. Now that they own all these buildings, they're squawking because they can't rent them.

  • TNG Season 1: "We have a Chief Engineer?"

  • A lotta mileage for 35y.

  • Interesting. I remember questioning the Apollo class when they showed up on Unification, mostly because (at the time) they looked so much like TNG-era Romulan warbirds that I wondered why someone would think they were Vulcan. And prior to First Contact, we hadn't seen a Vulcan ship in canon (that I can recall). It makes more sense though if they developed annular (or annular+nacelle) designs.

  • guesstimates the number of people between CA and my house
    Whew! I think I'm safe

  • If money is your god, then no-one else can be.

  • Another few months and we'll have beaten it for 2024 too!

  • I'm with you OP. All of this controversy the last couple of months not only sent me to decentralized social media, but finally made me pull the trigger on FOSS hosting projects. Currently working on selfhosted cloud storage for photos and documents. I already have my phone's camera backing up to a RaspberryPi server in my living room, instead of to Google Photos.

    The end goal is to decouple as completely as I can from Google - and the spider's web of interconnected and interdependent online services - to something that I own (or at least have a measure of control over).

    The downside is that it's been a long time since I was in the server game. The learning curve is more like a vertical cliff face.

  • One thing Disney is known for is relentless legal pursuit of IP theft. Oh, and cartoon movies. Sometimes they do that too.
