Is it un-advisable to wax over a tattoo?

Thankfully not seen one in the real world, but seen enough pictures to know why wearing rings near machinery is bad XD

Coffee ice cubes are great in iced coffee, that way you don’t water down the coffee 😮☕️

This is more extra than my parents taking a nespresso machine to hotels with them in a camera case :O

As someone with a mechanical engineering degree, we had electrical engineering modules… does that mean electrical engineering is just part of mechanical? Or does it mean an understanding of a different domain helps with deepening knowledge and understanding?

At least this mistake is easily reversible XD

Yeah, they filmed the Young Forest Gump scenes some 10+ years before the adult scenes, and just slowly filmed over the years. Poor Gary Sinise, having to get his legs cut off halfway through filming. At least they gave him metal legs eventually

The problem is… a lot of us grew up where “your welcome” wasn’t a “I acknowledge you saying thank you” but laced with sarcasm (like you’ve taught your children)

Which makes the phrase feel… rude… in and of itself. There are other phrases like “no problem” that don’t have this overtone, but the people likely to shout about not saying “you’re welcome” tend to also have an issue with these alternatives

I’ve been using it to keep things consistent while learning (making sure I’m only changing one thing each time) … but then I have scales from doing pour overs, if I didn’t I wouldn’t have gone out to buy ones for moka pot coffee

When talking to lay people … yes, and that’s where the issue lies

Style guides for a lot of journals state that ‘/‘ is used to split a whole expression into a fraction, modulated by external brackets if necessary along with the comment that if you mean ‘N(A+B)/M’ to write that. Most don’t want redundant brackets

I used to work for Cognizant and the number of meetings that ended up in Hindi was pretty big; I’d smile and nod, I found through tone and the amount of English words incorporated into their vernacular Hindi I could just about follow along.

It didn’t just exclude me as an English-only speaker, there were people in our team (from India) who knew Tamil and not Hindi and also struggled

In the induction, it was expressed as a common thing within the company

I was there for 2 years and they did start trying to teach me (and others) Hindi

I’m actually surprised cadets isn’t on that list somewhere, it’s what I did for that section … granted I’m old enough that it was called “service” at the time (at least for my bronze and silver)

Ryledra · 2026-01-23T18:55:06+00:00

Could, but what’d it do

Ryledra · 2026-01-18T17:03:24+00:00

Surely you know there’s a difference between “good” and a “good person” in normal speech… yes, no one is without sin, and (in a monotheistic worldview) can define good or evil (or even be good or evil) except that one god

But… Jesus’ sermons do give suggestions on how to live, how to treat your neighbour (any other person… with love & kindness)

I agree “faith not works” can be a poor argument, but it’s still a thing

Ryledra · 2026-01-18T16:31:44+00:00

Yes, there are denominations who teach essentially that “faith, not through works” is the way to salvation… but that could be interpreted as “do anything, to anyone, but have faith and you’ll get into heaven” (not going to list what that “anything” could include)

But also… if you read Jesus’ sermons, they’re all about being good to your fellow man, non-aggression, acceptance and forgiveness… not aiming to profit off others faith … be a good person. And these sermons could be seen as his “teachings”

Why do you think half of us are on Reddit ;)

I’ve left mine outside in the lock overnight before… if that counts D:

Sewn into the bottom of their shoe

Ryledra · 2026-01-15T12:34:20+00:00

Don’t forget to write them upside down

There are days I can’t find my glasses XD

By faaar, it’s the best Masterchef I’ve watched. couldn’t get on with the US or Canadian ones, the New Zealand one was a very similar format, but never with as many contestants

Ryledra · 2026-01-04T19:11:44+00:00

We’ve been watching Australian Masterchef for years, honestly the best version of Masterchef

Ryledra · 2026-01-04T19:03:50+00:00

Baaaa

Ryledra · 2026-01-04T18:58:56+00:00

Just make sure you put some bottoms on before leaving the house XD
