And if one quantifies her exposure to yellow, I think having one star and looking at it while writing that explanation is more exposure than the two seconds it would take just to click five.

There’s a whole bunch of shows I may or may not have illegally downloaded, which then were cancelled due to lack of interest or something. If I could’ve made a direct donation to influence that, I’d have happily contributed like 100€ for the shows to continue.

Got to clean your containers and not just top them up, lol

You made me get up to look for a tape measure. Couldn’t find one. 2e coin will have to do.

The Hellmans mayo bottle is definitely not 3cm. The other one is way wider but the Hellmans is barely the size of a 2e coin, a 2e coin not fitting in it and a 2e coin being roughly an inch (25.75cm as opposed to an inch which is 2.54cm)

Look at this

Idk of any inch wide mini spatulas. Could be useful but I’ve not seen any.

My ketchup bottles are also probably closer to 2" than 1"

Oh and I’m not gonna use the bottle I had the coin on, it was on sale but I didn’t like it so I’m just waiting to throw it away. Also I don’t ever scrape bottles of month old mayo, if I make my own I use it like at least within a week. Even if it’s mixed from mayo and other premade sauces that have long shelf lifes. I just use the bottle as a sort of medium. I make a mix of sauces, because the ketchup isn’t tasty enough, but the mayo ain’t hot enough, and the mustard isn’t sweet enough. So I mix a bit of all in decent relations, then throw in a bit of garlic, spices, jalapeño relish. Then blend and put in the squirter.

Use for a day or a couple. Then get rid.

Then rinse and repeat.

Oh yeah I do, like a silicon scraper. But one of those wouldn’t fit into one of those tiny shop mayo squeezer bottles.

The openings on these generic mayo bottles is like 3cm, whereas on the squeezer mayo bottle, it’s like less than one.

But aye, the silicon scrapers “mini-spatulas” are great at scraping anything. Saves me like 5% of loss on with my blender, lol. Also really goot when you’re prepping things for freezing.

Well then it’s not a terrible solution, sure, but if you’re going through the trouble already, why not use one of

These. They’re practically free, way better shape, easy to wash, and prolly easier to fill given the whole size on those small bastards.

Also making your own mayo / sauces is something I’m kinda used to doing nowadays. I used to think it takes a lot of effort but nah, just mix some mayos/sauces/spices/herbs/garlic, give a tiny blend if there’s hard parts and that’s it. Sometimes I fluff it up by gently adding Turkish yogurt after squeezing it out of the bottle (the yogurt loses consistency if you blend it, so I blend everything else, put it in a squeezer, than lightly mix that with the yoghurt)

This bottle design is an utter bastard. You simply can’t get the last bits out of there no matter how much you wait or bang or make it cough and splutter to your food.

I’m sure someone has actually designed it that way as opposed to designing it in a way that would be best for the consumer.

“No, I’m the ologist!”

Maybe he said “urologist” and the journalist just didn’t understand.

Practically all modems from that time allowed you to turn off that noise - even during handshake.

Well this bit of info came a few decades too late, but TIL.

Also varied tread depth.

We had some stone steps in the yard of a house I grew up in and I could still run those even in the dark, but I’m sure anyone running after me, unfamiliar with the steps would stumble.

I’m just wondering whether the ingenuity was from someone who actually designed them as such, or someone who did a poor job, almost got a bollocking, but then launched into a rant about how it’s actually a defensive feature.

I get your point but also I’m a pedantic Lemming, so I want to point out that in the middle-ages, castle would purposefully build uneven steps. People familiar with the castle would soon get used to them and they’d be no bother, but an attacker running upwards will surely trip. And they’ll trip because of the stairs. Or will it be their own fault for not looking at each individual step to give your body the information it needs?

Just rhetorical exercise, I don’t actually care at all about one side or the other.

(An added stair fact, round staircases would ascend in a clockwise manner, so that right-handed defenders would have the advantage over right-handed attackers whilst fighting in the stairs.)

Ugh, no.

One can’t argue that personality disorders are inherently genetic. You can argue there’s a significant genetic component, but to think that someone is just going to be a narcissist despite how you would rear them is… well, bioessentialism.

Edit oh wait sorry. You asked you didn’t argue. Everyone is born like that, yeah, like everyone is born without object permanence. Then you develop it very early on. Just like you develop a sense of self-criticism as your cognition grows. Some just never do.

I still remember some of the channels used. Vaguely, but still. News, which time a program is on, and when you’re alone in the room, checking out the naughty adverts, as there might even be rudimentary boob graphics in the style of old Nokia logos.

Yeah.

You know the angles of both cats, and their relative positions (ie the angles A and C, and distance between them, b), then you can figure out the position B).

You’re using three inputs, only only one of them was merely implied. But the person sitting there can see where the cats are, and thus knows their relative distance.

If cat A was (from the POV of the human) in an unfixed position, like having 30 virtual duplicates around him, or be in a magic mirror house or something, still visible at what direction he’s looking at, but not where he is, then the sitter couldn’t know just from the position of one cat and the angle of both cats stares.

See?
