Books don’t emit light in the visible spectrum so it does not make it easier on the eyes in low light conditions.

Historically it’s also cheaper because paper is some shade of white and it’s cheaper to not soak the page in ink.

Could also split them into two factions that have a little war between each other with your town as a battlefield.

I’d upvote shit I don’t care for just so I can downvote shit I dislike.

Make the ratio 2 down per up at least.

How cold?

How old is the battery? I live very far north and a 4 year old battery has done it’s time.

If you have a lot of cold starts every year consider installing a block heater and and using an oil with good cold performance.

Lasagna plates if that counts. If not Macaroni. Compromise between shelf space per serving and ease of getting the portion size right (1.25dl raw, 2.5dl cooked). Contender is spaghetti which wins on shelf space but I always end up with too much or too little without resorting to the kitchen scales.

I find the larger variants are hard to get a good mix of sauce and pasta in your mouth regardless if you use a spoon or fork.

Results first. Actions second. Intent third.

You can say your intent is anything and I’ve got no way of verifying this.

You can take good actions that make the situation worse. If noone warned you about the consequences I guess I can’t blame you.

If the result is a net positive I won’t complain too much. Even if you said you’d solve global warming by making fun of orphans and somehow made that work I’d quietly grumble about there must have been a better way but be happy that I don’t have to deal with it.

I’m currently holding a rectangle of carefully organized sand and I can effortlessly argue with strangers just about anywhere in the world.

Some mmo where they keep adding stuff. Because my fucking god would it get boring after doing the same game 24/7 after a few years. If that is not allowed I’ll go with one of those 18+ rated sex games. At least I won’t be bored and horny.

Some 20 years since I moved from home and I’ve never been flagged.

Stock up on canned food, ammo, batteries, fuel etc. Go to a cabin in the wilderness far away from everything. Check that I’ve got the essentials, realize I forgot something. Go back to town to pick it up. Go back to cabin, go back to town to print out some guides on how to preserve food, go back to cabin.

I don’t care if my mail is still warm when they put it in my mailbox.

I choose the whimsical interpretation of it. I bet it’s a flower that is going to try on make-up for the first time that is asking.

Where I live they would have the right to buy your land at market rate plus ~25% before they were allowed to mine the area. They could apply for the right to prospect on land you own but have to pay for any significant impact on your ongoing use of the land.

I’d not worry so much about getting a bad deal. Sentimental value in a home on the other hand is something you could not get back.

Consult someone familiar with the law where you live for information that is actually accurate for you.

Stock trades of US politicians are public information it seems.

Go do the same trades and make some money for yourself if you have any spare money. If you’re really sure take out a loan and buy stocks, what could go wrong?

I like to do a fun exercise every time I read something like this.

Swap the word for who you are accusing with some other group. If this make the statement distasteful then the statement is distasteful in it’s orginal form.

The Left like to blame men, the right like to blame immigrants so for example: “it’s a shame immigrants love to commit murder”.

Why is it okay to say men love to murder but not immigrants?

Difference between communists and Nazis is that one of them lost a world war.

After over a decade of using it exclusively at home and partially at work I still googled how to add users to a group last week.

Not very. Most people around here are able to coexist despite having different views.

A few are naturally corrupt and will always do anything they think they can get away with. A few are naturally honest and will never be corrupted.

Most people just act like the people they are surrounded by.

Weakness, If you’re here for anything other than the narrow view.

Even if you’re here for the the narrow view take a moment and consider if an echo chamber is good for you.
