  • Counterpoint; you can get pictures of yourself in a maid dress petting a cat.

  • Gaming teaches you how to navigate menus and utilize hotkeys to improve efficiency (at least on PC).

  • That'd be real damn nice. And hey, if its been long enough ill have lost weight 😃

  • Just... dont use biometrics for device unlock?? You can still use it for apps separate from device unlock

  • The MIC is relatively happy for the moment; they're looking forward to all the new contracts once enough civilian (federal) employees are purged. Longer term they'll be worried, but when has any executive looked at long term?

  • Fedora makes full drive encryption stupid easy during initial install. I try to keep a habit of backing up my data and never having a computer in a state that i cant easily wipe and reload the OS; Games and non-system-required data on a separate physical drive, not a partition.

    Assume microsoft has a copy of bitlocker keys if using Windows, they are heavily in bed with the US government and will sell you out for a piece of chewing gum.

  • Oh I sent it to goodwill after not using it for about a year after getting what I've got now (it was a costco model; the "professional" model was returned the same week i got it).

    Slicer would be good for bread too with a serrated blade (if you can find one; a butcher shop would probably have both blade types rather than a deli with just the single edge). Totally jealous of the Wok burner, all i got is a crappy coil-top electric that cant even maintain a boil, "safety feature"...

  • I have outright stopped a kitchenaid lift bowl model with Bagel dough xD

    Ive also got a bit of a penchant for semi-commercial kitchen gear. Got myself a LEM #8 meat grinder (i broke the plastic auger on a kitchenaid grinder attachment from overheat/overuse) and some other equipment from them. Helps that they're in the same state as me and i can go in-person to their shop in Cincy!

    Id love to find a great big commercial slicer someday to slice a whole slab of bacon (family smokes a slab or two infrequently, their tiny slicer is miserable to me having worked in a deli), but id need to not be in an apartment for that i think.

    The Ankarsrum mixer is unique, i like it a great deal more. Its belt-driven, and the bowl itself is what spins; I've gotten much better bread out of it than a kitchenaid, it doesn't overwork the dough or grind seeds/oats into dougb

  • New fear unlocked; hair being forcibly shaved and not growing back 😬

  • Kitchenaid is kinda crap now. I bought one of their more powerful model stand mixers (DC motor model) at one point and it... visibly struggled to mix dough. Researched it and found this: https://www.americastestkitchen.com/equipment_reviews/2593-the-best-stand-mixers

    Returned it, saved up a bit of cash and got the Ankasrum, much happier with it.

    I consider kitchenaid mixers to be overpriced cake/cookie machines at this point. They can handle cold butter and thats about their only advantage over ankarsrum, and even then other (cheaper) mixers do that fine.

  • It reeks of "we're routing your traffic through our own servers to check your media for piracy" to me.

  • Understandable; that was just my own desires/goals/stream-of-consciousness and i probably should have specified that

  • Hard to go wrong with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

  • Hormones affect the smell of sweat; testosterone vs estrogen. Aka, girl smell different.

  • TIL.

  • Why isn't Betty White on here? Should be between The Wheel and Sliced Bread

  • Cult-like nationalism encouraged by a lifetime of propaganda over multiple generations and general isolationism (people who have never left their home town)

  • I tick a loooot of these boxes. 😶

    No desire to be a boy tho.
