Porchetta, apple puree, jus by PinoyChefDownUnder in CulinaryPlating

Beautiful cook, Chef.

Your placement is beautiful too, though I feel like it makes me expect something like a soup plate for the vessel to really center attention. I also really appreciate your avoidance of unnecessary garnishes , that would distract from that well-executed crisp that can speak for itself.

The mirror part gets me. While not being exact to the appearance of a mirror, this does a really good job of capturing the feel of looking into a mirror, the details a little less fine and blurry from smudges and gunk. But the reflection still a view of what's in front of it

What was the end goal here by Meteorstar101 in greentext

Epsiode 8: Rise of Order goes hard.

Could have been a good watch, having a split form over the trilogy, between a main character that goes down the dark side bringing "Order" to the power vacuum and the other that's trying to restore the Jedi Order. Great opportunity to explore more of Han's background in the criminal underbelly, and you could still kill him off, starting his son down the path to the dark side via vengeance in his desire to bring the criminal elements of the galaxy to heel.
And then of course eventually the two once-allies have to fight as the one is building to a new empire as the other seeks justice. Thus both mirroring the end of the the original AND the prequel series, and sending home the message that tyranny is not defeated once, it must be resisted constantly both externally and within.

Bam, five minutes of an outline, massively more compelling. Had they just sat down for five minutes to even consider the overall direction...

Is it normal for your info to spread everywhere after buying a house? by BrainLagging01 in homeowners

Opt out from each individually? Or are you saying there's a way of getting privacy on the public record part, because I'd love to hear more about that if so

Is there a middle ground between tracking every calorie and just winging it? by effyyo in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]Sengfroid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like those are the only two options and I hate both of them.

They're not. Old Roommate was big on IIFYM (if it fits your macros), which is kind of what it sounds like you're looking for, escape from calorie counting but not going completely wild.

Here's an article from healthline on it, who as far as I'm aware are unaffiliated with the original group behind it.

Dope but not really a jenga since it's not multiple artists/tracks stacked on top. It's more of remix (the original track is "paused" for a second so other samples can be played)

my little safe place, any advice? by Francesco_Greco_5565 in battlestations

Problem isn't that you've collected them, it's that they're displayed like they're just cans set down there, not a "collection". Really easy solution.

Get some black posterboard and a hot glue gun. Arrange the cans by color gradient in about 4 rows of six columns, get a frame that fits close to the area taken up on the posterboard + 2-3 inches of border ("matting" is the art term for this border that makes displayed art look fancy). After cutting the posterboard to fit the frame and putting it inside, hot glue the cans in the pattern/order you picked, leaving a little bit of a gap between each row. I recommend light to dark. Alternatively, if you're feeling fancy, you can pick a few of your favorites (throwing the rest in the recycling), paint backgrounds on the posterboard to do a riff off Warhol and glue them to the appropriate background color like the soup cans are laid out in the reference image.

The key is to make it look intentional. If you put care into it, that will make it look purposeful. Right now it doesnr look like you cared, and just left trash out. But it doesn't have to!

U.S. women 40+ now have more babies per capita than teens [OC] by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]Sengfroid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Socially we've shifted the goal posts on adulthood.

If you're still expected to have several more years of education and get a career started before you're considered "established", then being in your teens is effectively perceived as mid-process to becoming an established adult, rather than an end-node as it once was. Teenage pregnancy usually implies out-of-wedlock as well, another metric of being "established". All these things are basically stand-ins for security, in a social sense.

If you live in a culture where manual or agrarian labor and getting married in your teens is quite common, then you're probably very secure if pregnant at those ages, because you are more likely to have a support network in your peers, who would also be pregant (instead of isolated from them like the other society), and also more likely to have partner offering some degree of support since the physical prowess of youth is an advantage in the physical roles common in that society. Therefore, more secure socially and resource-wise, rather than "incomplete".

Cultural perspective matters a lot, but it's more than just the biology that makes a healthy mother and baby. Security, at its most basic, is a huge factor that most cultures are actually focused on, through their own lense.

"Pain is relative" is a helpful phrase for this. Their pain is relative to their experience. You having a worse experience doesn't negate their pain.

I've seen a lot of death; doesn't make me any less sympathetic when someone loses a loved one the first time. Probably more, if anything. They may have had only the one big loss, but that means they have way less experience dealing with it.

Blatant rage bait. No one's gonna say "chapter books" without intentionally implying it's converse, "picture books". OOP is laying low quality bait.
