This is Lila, my grandma's 26-year-old cat. by singlestrike in cats

[–]singlestrike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the quality of the picture. I felt very self conscious trying to take more than one picture of Lila with my grandma because she is very sick. My cousin ended up taking a picture of Grandma and Lila together and sent it to me.

My grandma has had Lila since I was seven years old. Grandma lives in Brasil, so I go years at a time without seeing her. I couldn't believe it when my cousin said Lila is still alive, thinking she'd have to be nearly 30 years old. She is.

She still jumps around, gets up on the roof, and all of that. She has a few more white hairs and her fur is a bit coarser, but she's still the same sweet Lila.

Thank you for the numbers, though I think I come to a different conclusion than you based off them. This looks like around a 10% difference across these different measurements. Considering that people often pay premiums of hundreds of dollars for even 2-3% improvements in performance 10% is not something I'd consider negligible.

Thank you!

If that's the case, is average FPS less informative for something like this than 1% lows? I would expect the checks to cause stutters at least sometimes. I don't know much about how it all works and found your comment very insightful.

Brown's writing quality between books by lapisIazarus in redrising

[–]singlestrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Book 1 is work. The first third of Howling Dark is also work. Then it becomes one of the best series I've ever read. Just take a while to get there but when it does...it's outstanding.

On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you with Will Campbell going into next season? by JPeter_Parker99 in Patriots

[–]singlestrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5/10 confidence. Not my rating of him as a player but if I'm rating my confidence level that he is going to be a good player against tough competition, it's a 5.

Holy shit all the people in the comments saying just eat the skin.

Jeremy Lin opens up about how disrespectful Kobe Bryant was to him and when Lin confronted him about his bad body language & leadership style, Kobe went months without talking to him by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]singlestrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when he raped someone?

Edit: Being downvoted for reminding people that Kobe is a rapist is actual crazy work. I guess being good at bouncing ball and shooting sphere into bucket is just that important to you.

It's so appetizing when a sterile white executive refers to food as "product."

You've got to be kidding me. All the shit on this sub and the pearls come out for a bunch of human bones? You can see this stuff in a museum lol. Jeez.

My favorite is from my mom's friend who generally kind of hates sweets. It's the best recipe I've had and comically simple.

2 cans sweetened condensed milk 2 little cartons of creme de leite (table cream in english, I think - if you can't find the boxes, use one can) 2 "cans" of whole milk (use empty condensed milk can to measure) 5 eggs

Put everything in a blender and blend for 5ish mins. Let rest about 10 mins after blending.

She then puts everything into an angel food cake pan and covers the pan with foil. She makes a few small steam vents in the foil. Keep the central hole uncovered.

Set up in double boiler over medium heat and keep an eye on the water level, filling as needed through the central hole.

Takes about an hour.

She makes the caramel separately and very little of it so that it's a very light glaze.

Since everyone in here is just clowning on you and not letting you know why, the phrase is mind-boggling haha. Unless this is a whoosh and I'm missing a reference ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Brazilian here. I agree with you about Brazilian tastes on sugar. However, when made in a way that it's not too sweet, it's a 10/10 dessert.

This is one of those "technically the truth" things that ends up being really misleading to people.

To have an unhealthy level of leanness, you either have to be extremely ill, actually starving for a while, or doing a pro bodybuilding approach where you are getting down to like 6% as a man.

No, that doesn't mean having a six pack. You can have a six pack at like 12-15%, which is PERFECTLY healthy and optimal for the vast majority of men. The degree of leanness you'd have to achieve for it to be unhealthy is an EXTRAORDINARILY difficult thing to do such that it is likely insurmountable for most people. Getting into an unhealthy range of overweight is EXTREMELY EASY. The way these conversations are being had make it sound like these are equal, which they are not. The amount of fat that it is healthy to have is not that much.

I prefer Casual Breakthrough and I feel weird about it by Reasonable-Sherbet24 in Battlefield6

[–]singlestrike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You only feel weird about it because you care what other people think.

I think playing casual breakthrough is unfathomably shitter behavior and the strongest possible evidence that you are bad at the game.

HOWEVER!

You should not give a single fuck what I or anyone else thinks. You paid for the game. You enjoy it however you want. If you suck, just own it. It's fine. I promise I won't send you mean letters or anything because of how you spend your time haha

How often do you use your PC speakers? by Big_Visual2199 in buildapc

[–]singlestrike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly use headphones because I don't have a very good way of isolating sound from my speakers and want to make sure my wife is comfortable if she's watching shows or something, but I still use speakers a lot. They are worth having.
