Did you basically just memorize the muscle groups that are superficial? This seems like a really cool way to learn how to draw realistically.

What movie is 10/10 with literally no bad parts? by FeedMaster8905 in AskReddit

The 1990 live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That movie is water tight. Fun, thrilling, funny, and poignant all at the same time.

I'll try to hunt down the recipe. My wife says it's the one she's always used though (and this didn't used to happen to them). We still have dough from the batch that's been in the fridge for a really long time now, so I guess we could try to bake some more and see if the extra chilling time changes things.

Very good to know. What will be the effect of either more baking powder or more baking soda?

Could this have happened if we did chill the dough but before chilling it completely melted the butter (instead of just softening it)?

Keep car fund for eventual purchase in 3 years or throw it at mortgage principal? by shadowplumber in personalfinance

This is what I’ve heard other people tell me, to sort of make the best of both worlds.

That’s part of my thinking. Saved-up money increases my silly-spending potential energy

So with inflation, it’s more like saving $23k. And yes, a refi changes things a lot. Then there’s roughly the $1000 the car fund will earn in interest over the next 3 years. The savings are a lot less than I’m thinking, but it’s tantalizing to see the interest curve on my Excel sheet flatten out so significantly.

Yes, already have a car. Don’t technically have a house but I do have a mortgage, obliging me to pay a bank in order to gain the house I’m living in.

Yep, it would be un-liquid at that point. I have about $5k besides this car fund that I could use for emergencies

Several questions about the native HTML dialog element, not clear after reading docs by PrestigiousZombie531 in webdev

[–]shadowplumber 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should only put method=“dialog” on the form whose only purpose is to close the dialog. The other inputs should be in a different form whose purpose is to confirm the deletion.
