Yes, though the air pocket is there right from the start. If you pierce the bottom of the shell with a pin before boiling then the egg will have less of a dent at the bottom after boiling, giving a more uniform shape.

The egg always has an air pocket on the bottom, at the blunt end. This is an air pocket that the developing chicken embryo uses for gas exchange. See the diagram:

Used to love plug-in-heavy, customizable tools. Then I realized I loved spending time customizing and installing all those plugins, and not a lot of time getting work done.

Now I just prefer good tools that can do everything I need but not necessarily optimally. As long as they feel really efficient for 95% of use cases and the other 5% are possible (but not optimal) I am good with that. I don’t need to reach for “the perfect tool” anymore.

Mango is delicious but where I live the fresh stuff is never ripe. I have much better luck with frozen mango chunks!

I think it’s a personality based thing. The clock interacts with a person’s natural tendencies in a way that causes constant pressure and stress. These folks need to be away from clocks in order to relax. They see SDV’s rather rapid daily clock as a fatal flaw in a game that should otherwise be quite relaxing.

Didn’t you know? Billionaires eat hundreds of millions of steaks a year!

Far from it dude! I’m in Canada.

Really surprised to hear they have sales tax on ALL food, not just packaged stuff or restaurant food! Not sure what the rationale is for that.

The bigotry doesn’t have to be within a group for people to not want to join. They may be uncomfortable joining due to pressure from their friends and family.

People may also simply not join because they’re not interested. I personally have no interest in going to raves. The music and the drugs have no appeal to me.

Not saying there’s no bigotry in a particular group. Just that bigotry isn’t the only reason why people don’t join.

So true. I have never raged (nor been raged at) as hard as I’ve raged (and been raged at) in the kitchen!

Yep. That’s because they don’t actually remove the lactose. They add lactase which cleaves the lactose into simpler sugars, increasing the sweetness.

Yeah, like I find horror movies to be mostly just unintentionally funny, but that doesn’t make them bad to me. I enjoy them like that!

I’m not really a fan of the ultra-realistic gore stuff like Hostel though. I much prefer classics like The Exorcist, the Wicker Man, Hellraiser, Evil Dead, and literally anything with Vincent Price!

Git is not very efficient for handling a lot of binary files. Your best bet would be for hosting fanfic and erotic lit.

People in the past had ridiculous amounts of free time. We take it for granted that we’re so busy working all the time to survive but life wasn’t always this busy. Hunter-gatherers had way less to do than we do. They didn’t need to spend all their time trying to pay rent or put food on the table. They also didn’t have the huge amount of media we have to consume.

So what did they do with their free time? They spent it observing nature around them. They watched the sun, the moon, and the stars very carefully. They gave names to the constellations and told stories about them. They learned the cycles of nature just as we learn the work and entertainment schedules that dominate our lives.

Story checks out!

We’re still talking about a video game company right? What the fuck dude! You (and anyone upvoting you) ought to go for a walk and reflect on your priorities. I’d further strongly suggest seeking out some mental health support.

It’s not smaller but it is faster.

Sounds very cozy! I suppose you could also simply carry the carafe to your coffee mug and pour it there, as though you were working at a diner with you as your favourite customer!

Move your coffee machine to your desk so you can make and pour coffee without having to move the mug!
