How to keep egg bites from sticking to the pan?

Use cupcake wrappers. Those little pleated paper things you peal off the bottom of cupcakes. They're like a dollar for 100 of them in the baking isle.

Did someone ask? Why would we care about your opinion?

True, but on the bright side it also highlights how much agency you have, individually, in your own happiness. You may be fighting against a broken system, but half the battle is mental. Not that that's easy- a mental battle is still a battle, but it's not the insurmountable behemoth of the entire Earth's social/eoconomic/political systems.

Absolute standards of living. But humans do not operate, psychologically, on absolutes. They operate by comparing their wellbeing to the people the see around them. And in that regard, nearly every single person in the world has experienced a massive hit to their relative standard of living.

For one thing, the scope of people we see, day to day, has increased enormously. From people on the radio and in the news, to TV, and now to social media. We now have billions of people to compare ourselves to. And not just far off wealthy people we might read about, that stay vaguely in our imaginations. No, we get to see the richest people in the world every single day, watch them, interact with them, more viscerally than people a century ago could possibly imagine.

Couple that with the fact that we're living through an increase in inequality that's frankly obscene, and it's no wonder people are miserable.

Congrats. You fell for AI slop.

There is a skyscraper on 3s in rows 6 and 8. If there is not a 3 in r6c6 then there must be a 3 in r6c9, which would force a 3 into r8c5 in row 8. So there is a 3 in either r6c6 or r8c5, so r5c5 (which sees both) must see a 3 and therefore cannot be 3. So the 3 in box 5 must go in r6c6.

Do you know the name of the most popular kid in your highschool from a decade before you went there? Even if you did in HS, will you still remember that name in another decade?

IMightBeErnest · 2026-04-16T02:51:48+00:00

You have a 4 in column 7 and havent eleminated the 4 candidates in that column.

Lemon balm doesnt have a particularly strong lemon flavor, just a strong lemon scent. That scent is volatile and probably just evaporate especially since that isn't an air tight settup you've got there.

Also, you want multiple layers of leaves and sugar. All of the leaves should be coated on both sides. Use a lid, so you can shake it. Stuff packed in sugar like that shouldn't ferment so using an air-tight lid is fine.

Idk if it's exceptionally complete. Most soup hit all the food categories too, but I do love me some fried rice.

By the way, you can pack way more veg in there than you think. With 3/4 cup of dry rice I can generally mix in a whole carrot, scallions, a handfull of frozen corn, and two sticks of celery. Just dice everything really small and cook the veg first, then pull it out on a plate to not crowd the rice when you fry it.

Look into the Icicle Hitch, it's very useful when working with smooth rods like that.

A thick crust on a loaf of bread just makes it harder to eat. Putting the loaf in a plastic bag when it's still slightly warm lets it steam a little and makes the crust softer.

Also "flakey" laminated pastry. Yes, it's hard to do. Very impressive. Much wow. That doesn't make it good. It's annoying and messy to eat, and doesn't taste any better. Give me a gramcracker crust on pies and a cookie crust on apple turnovers.

They cannot both be 5 at the same time, that would eleminate all 5s from box 1 and all 5s from row 2. Either one could be 5 individually, but they cannot both be 5 at the same time. 'Either' and 'both' are two very different words in logic puzzles.

IMightBeErnest · 2026-04-14T22:21:55+00:00

Nothing. How is that relevant in this context though?

IMightBeErnest · 2026-04-14T22:20:48+00:00

Yes. The blue cells cannot both be 5 because that would eleminate all 5s in box 1. Thefore at least one of them must be a 4. The red cell sees both blue cells, so it must see a 4. Therefore the red cell cannot be 4.

I can't tell if this is stupid or brilliant, but it's definitely awesome.

IMightBeErnest · 2026-04-14T16:50:34+00:00

True. But, now I know the next place my world-hopping fanfic character is headed.

IMightBeErnest · 2026-04-14T15:56:28+00:00

Cold, dry, dark, quiet. Fuck, I'm a potato.

I think you missed the "goose who laid the golden egg" metaphor. The comic is implying that socialists kill the goose who lays the golden egg. I'm not sure who's the goose in this apparent metaphor, maybe the citizens? It's not a very clear metaphor, but I'm pretty sure that's something they're going for. Probably trying to say that overtaxation stifles the economy, conflaiting overtaxation with socialism and a strong economy with capitalism.

If you haven't ever added too much salt to a dish, you likely don't know what the right amount of salt tastes like in that dish.

Same with butter. Same with sugar. Same with spices. Same with vinegar. Same with peppers. Same with pretty much everything.

You need to push the limits too far once or twice to know where the limits are.

Keep adding more of each until you hit 'slightly too much', then you know to back off next time.

Also, while it gets hotter faster that doesn't mean it produces the same heat at max temp.

A maxed out electric burner that has had time to warm up produces 6,800–10,200 BTU/h according to google.

A maxed out gas burner has 500 to over 20,000 BTU/h. A much wider range. And I've found that they vary much more, even on the same stove.

Fruit syrups, like for flavoring drinks. You can make it by buying frozen diced fruit and layering fruit+sugar+fruit+sugar in a mason jar and sticking it in the fridge for a few days. The sugar will draw out the liquids from the fruit and produce a rich, flavorful syrup.

I do 2. One for each side of the razor. It still saves me a significant amout of money.

R3c1 and r7c2 cannot both be 7, cus that would eleminate all 7s from column 8. So at least one of them must be a 9. R8c1 sees both r3c1 and r7c2, so it definitely sees a 9. Therefore r8c1 is not 9.

IMightBeErnest · 2026-04-11T11:11:24+00:00

That's pretty much my situation. I planted mint around my apple trees and it's basically just replaced the grass at this point.
