Just hold on for a while. If those deer keep at it, at some point the wolves will multiply and become a greater force to control the deer population.

Unless they’re the same sex. In that case, you’re shafted.

This is the kind of parenting that may lead to kids leaving home & disappearing from the parents’ lives the day they turn eighteen.

Am I seeing this right? Are you calling one of the defining works of Fantasy literature a “Christian book?”

He’s right though.

Mac & cheese really is unimpressive. Spaghetti Carbonara is way better, even with inaccurate ingredients (e.g. using bacon instead of guanciale or even pancetta).

Though if you do insist on making it 'Murican style, try melting the cheese into a bechamel sauce and adding some diced ham or cubed bacon. The former makes it way creamier, even if it ends up standing for a while, and the latter just adds some neat flavour and texture. Stick with ham and/or bacon, or maybe very few other things, otherwise it stops being mac & cheese imo.

I saw a story once of someone who asked internet strangers whether they were the asshole because they hated someone’s mac & cheese. When they described what went into the stuff, it was full of added things, a quarter of which would already stop it from being mac & cheese, and half of which either conflict with each other, or are stuff which if they were the sole additive would give me a reason to nope out of the dish.

With both mac & cheese and spaghetti carbonara, I’d say less is more.

Re: legally a train
Metros and anything lighter are governed by different laws than trains. So German U-bahn is legally a tram, governed by the BOStrab, while S-bahn is legally a train, governed by the EBO

A step heavier. For the London example, think more like the Overground, the Purple Train or Thameslink. Or the many railways radiating out.

For other examples, think systems like the LIRR in NYC, the RER in Paris or the S-bahn in most major German cities. (though the Berlin one functions more as a metro that’s just legally a train)

I recall spotting a few things about Image Generators having their training data contaminated using generated images, and the output becoming significantly worse. So yeah, I guess LLMs and IGA’s need natural sources, or it gets more inbred than the Habsburgs.

Not to forget the union puts restrictions on how often the boss can call you out, so you may actually have the time to play those video games.

So I was right that it’s a lyric, just not a Sabaton one 😅

Not gonna lie, that title sounds like it could be a Sabaton lyric.

I feel bad for my brother right now, since his gf cannot have onions and garlic due to a food intolerance. At least spring onions are still tolerable, but still…

My gf does not like the texture of onions.

The taste is fine with her, so I think I’m gonna have to get used to cooking for her with minced onions…

I’m not a manager, but if I had a business critical three person job and some busywork, I’d schedule four people minimum. Probably five if the busywork is important at the time.

They’re pretty interesting. Look one up if you have the time, like during a break at work

Are the pills binary? Because I wouldn’t want to rewind to far before either shacking up with, or maybe meeting, my girl. And all the fun things I would wish upon every iteration of myself that I’m doing now are things I’d started with in adulthood.
I’d only really be interested in taking about a third of a red pill, since that’d probably take me back to after I started most of these fun things.

If I’d be required to take whole pills, I’d take the blue one.

I’m with OP on the being had in the first half. Though I’d add, with a little bit of added effort, you can fix both. The fact that the US can do neither is, in my book, a failure of policy.

I heard/read a story somewhere once, where there was a statue somewhere of someone who’s better off not glorified. The statue was defaced regularly, and every time it was defaced, there’d be someone cleaning it up.

Over time the statue went on to look worse for wear until one day, the authorities decided it was better to remove and replace the statue.

It turned out the guy cleaning it up was always the same guy, who hated the subject of the statue with a passion, and alway used salt water to clean it, hoping to corrode & wear down the statue. Some people suspect he and the vandal were the same person.

RON SWANSON: I reject all cookies.

Wait, I don’t think I was clear enough. I didn’t ask to reject a lot of cookies. I reject all cookies.

how certain are you that this will truly block them all? Many of these things may have a “Legitimate interest” thing going on, and I do not trust those prompts to object to that by pressing “reject all”
