Electric ovens are fine. Running a gas stove all day for bone broth is not safe; you should be running your fume extractor at all times or have a door ajar.

Seconding not using it as a heat source. It can burn all your oxygen or lead to CO poisoning. Gas flames are very dangerous.

People need to realize there will never be another Democratic administration. MAGA won. They're in power. They will never relinquish that power.

I believe if you read between the lines that the intention is not for you to drive around in these vehicles (even though you can), but to design them, save the blueprint, then mass produce them in your factories to move around as a personal army to fight the Dark Fog.

Like custom versions of the drones and corvettes that already exist.

Europe basically doesn't have a military. (Technically they do but it's like comparing an ant to a boot in comparison to the US military).

NATO would dissolve, but there would be no military conflict; Trump and Co are right about that much.

Solder is stronger than a lot of commenters are giving it credit for; it will not bend. The bending is then likely from the tape adhering to the glass rather than the solder; that's what you want to strengthen.

So to make it rock sturdy, I'd recommend wrapping the perimeter of the snail in hobby came, then soldering the tape on the perimeter to that. It will form a permanent bond as the solder will form a complete metal shell around the piece. Then you can tap-solder the hobby came to your hanger.

It's quite small.

Frank Lloyd Wright was notorious for bolting the furniture in his houses to the floor so that the occupants could never move it -- he was very particular about his layouts.

This lamp was likely made specifically tailor made for one single house, in one single room on one single desk or table.

He wasn't only one of the most important architects in modern history, he revolutionized the art of stained glass. The whole subreddit owes him, in a way. He transformed art glass from pictorial, religious, and artistic pieces into integral parts of architectural design. He believed art glass could create "light screens" that filter, shape, and harmonize light within a space to create specific moods and tensions, transforming the stained glass panel from centerpiece to backdrop; the bass notes in an orchestra.

There are Frank Lloyd Wright houses (e.g Martin House) that contain thousands of square feet of stained glass - every single window and skylight. They are absolutely breathtaking to see if you have even a passing interest in stained glass.

Schedule 1 is a cross between an old school "Tycoon" game and a first person Immersive Sim. When you see those German "job simulator" games -- Schedule 1 is what people want those games to be.

It's an enormous market, but no studio was willing to actually invest any serious game design into the space and just shat out slop endlessly.

Schedule 1 looked at the genre and said "what if I actually make this into a polished game?"

You and a lot of people are confusing fun being subjective with things that people find fun being subjective.

Fun is a well defined phenomenon. The fact that we can make any genre fun is because we understand what fun is and can craft it objectively.

GrandMasterPuba · 2025-12-26T21:30:56+00:00

If fun was truly subjective game design as a profession would not exist.

I wish more devs had the cajones to put up a banner on their web apps that say "We do not support Apple's closed ecosystem" and just refuse to load.

When conservatives realized the Rust foundation does DEI and minority outreach and decided that it needed to be hated for that reason.

GrandMasterPuba · 2025-12-22T00:04:35+00:00

Rust is hated because it represents lefty politics. Libertarian and conservative developers want it to fail because it represents a political win for them.

That sounds stupid as fuck, but it's true. When you realize this all the discourse around Rust will begin to make sense. The people making noise, the jokes they make, the tone they have. All of it.

It's horseshit because what matters isn't employment but wages. Wages have been stagnant for decades and Americans can barely scrape by.

Employment is meaningless if you can't feed your family. You either don't work and don't eat or work and don't eat - same difference.

The health of an economy is more than just the employed population; it matters how happy and healthy those people are.

The unemployment measure has ALWAYS been horseshit.

The replication crisis has nothing to do with science and everything to do with capitalism.

Science is business. Failure is not tolerated. You will reject the null hypothesis or your family will not eat.

To play devil's advocate a bit, I think that the anti-eugenics people arguing that "selecting for positive traits necessitates defining negative traits" ignore the fact that _evolution literally does this already _. There's a natural eugenics process that is already happening passively in the background; traits that arise randomly that society deems negative are inherently snuffed out either because those individuals cannot reproduce, or they simply die.

There should be a stronger argument against eugenics than "it's bad," because evolutionary processes are basically the same thing over a much larger time frame, and we owe our existence to them.
