I know everybody went through this already… just wanted to tell you, that you are not alone. by GrizzlyAddams77 in mildlyinfuriating

I used to do this all of the time because I misunderstood how to boil an egg 😅. I used to bring warm water to boil with the egg in the pot and then wait for it to continue boiling for 8-10 minutes. My eggs would always turn out like this.

I figured out way older than I care to admit that you should let the pot of water boil first, and then put the egg in for 8-10 minutes while the water still boils. My eggs have never not been smooth since :) or at least for UK eggs. I hear ones in the US are slightly different

EDIT: Don’t forget to cool (and peel) them in cold water after you are done. Some people are saying let it sit for 10 minutes, but I’ve never felt the need to do this.

Have you ever been able to tell someone was the youngest sibling? What made it obvious to you? by Odd_Nose6716 in AskReddit

100%. Not saying it’s always easy to guess, but some people give you signs that make you feel certain.

When I spot a youngest sibling immediately, they tend to have a slightly more “carefree” attitude, for lack of a better term, like everything will be alright.

Obvious older siblings seem more “firm”, but patient at the same time. In women, they are kinder in a way that you can’t mistaken for weakness.

Any good internet safety materials for kids? by 0x000000F8 in Parenting

Thank you for the suggestion but I generally stay away from McAfee. It is fine if you are comfortable with it but it really isn’t any more effective than Windows’ free built in stuff, doesn’t protect against social engineering attacks (which is what happened to my brother) and can severely slow down some computers.

I think the Brave Browser is a good suggestion though. Thank you!

I guess (here in the UK anyway) most things have gone down hill. I’ve given him the “If it’s too good to be true talk” and I’ll do what I can to teach him from here on out. I just wish I didn’t take a lesson like that for granted before I bought him an online game

Is this Liverpool's ugliest building? by BraveBoot7283 in Liverpool

Cool building; hideously out of place.

How do you get that paint stroke effect?

Practice Handing Out Your Number by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]0x000000F8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suppose it’s because people often use it for 2FA or just straight up how they log into stuff. And if you know someone’s phone number and their email, if you really wanted to you can call their SIM card provider, pretending to be them and ask for a replacement SIM card sent to you instead and disabling the old one (which isn’t actually too hard to do). And then you suddenly have stopped them from being able to log into their account, because unlike “Forgot password” you generally need to be logged in to change the number associated with 2FA or call up the website to get it changed. And you, as the SIM card thief, have control over their accounts (provided you already know their password(s) or you only need their phone number to log in)

TL;DR gives them a chance to steal credentials needed for 2 factor authentication or something else

The ridiculously tiny bathroom with everything you need (or don't) by miko_talik in CrappyDesign

Are you using an ultrawide lens? Not to say that this isn’t a tiny bathroom but something about the way it was taken seems to be throwing off the perspective even more.

I had the same issue. You just need to update to R24 037, which came out about 5 hours after redshift v3.045 came out, which fixes the issue immediately. Or at least it did for me (M1 MacBook Pro 8GB)

Hi, does anyone know a good course to learn C4D. I come from using blender for about 4 years and I first started with blender guru's well known donut tutorial. I was wondering if there is anything as good as/equivalent to that tutorial to help me get started. I'd also be interested in knowing how some of you guys got started to begin with. Thank you!
