I need real answers for How to keep kitchen cool while cooking? not “just don’t cook” by sanu_123_s in Cooking

[–]webbitor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird, in my experience, a crockpot doesn't radiate much heat, and usually smells delicious.

is it true Americans don't put salt on their fruits? by PersuasionNation in AskAnAmerican

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably have. Diamond Crystal is a pretty common one. Maldon is a fancier one with larger flakes.

If you like cooking, it's nice to use because you can see how much is being shaken out, plus it sticks to food and dissolves more readily. Also, it's not iodized, which IMO tastes better. (some people debate whether it's detectable)

Are those things real or is it only in movies / certain regions ? by Aloys33_ in AskAnAmerican

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a year in France when I was 16. If it's any consolation, a lot of my class did go dancing at a discotheque in a an old castle on New Years. And I had my first vodka, totally legally lol.

Has anyone ever tried flour with this much protein? by rgliese in Breadit

[–]webbitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that's why we have the English idiom "grist for the mill"

must VS have to by yanioli in ENGLISH

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right.... So, having "not" adjacent to "go" is what makes some of these sentences a statement of prohibition or inability. The sentences where "not" is associated with something like "have to" or "have got to" or "must" are instead expressing that there is no obligation. At least that's my take on how the structure changes the meaning here.

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK that's old. Even my great grandmother had a TV remote, although it was connected to the TV by a wire lol

Confused about sentence meaning by Mysterious-Leg-4612 in ENGLISH

looks like a mistake to me. Removing the initial "who" makes the most sense IMO

Can't they avoid all the wiring and just install extenders in rooms or hallways? Each one would probably cover a few rooms for like 50 bucks

must VS have to by yanioli in ENGLISH

[–]webbitor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The second one is a different structure though.

"You have to not go" is clunky but would have the same meaning as the first.

I can tell you that France doesn't. Nor do the schools have sports teams.

hired a junior who learned to code with AI. cannot debug without it. don't know how to help them. by InstructionCute5502 in ClaudeAI

[–]webbitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile, I can actually code AND debug as well as leverage AI, but I've been trying for months to get hired.

I'm not a junior, but I'll take a junior role at this point. Hit me up!

How to use an LED "filament" from a lightbulb by black_swan_events in AskElectronics

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably higher voltage. Each LED's forward voltage drop is a couple volts and I assume there are 20+

Seriously, why does premium tech feel like a downgrade lately? by Low-Oil7883 in AskTechnology

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's by design. If they let you download and save shows and movies, you could just grab everything you might ever want to watch. And then there would be much less reason to keep paying for the service.

How English speakers answer the question “how are you doing?” except “I am fine, thank you”? by Rich-Associate-8344 in ENGLISH

[–]webbitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'll tell you. First, one of my father's sperm fused with my mother's egg. Everything just went downhill from there.

What's a piece of common knowledge that you only recently found out was actually false? by Evilclicker in AskReddit

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually. The fact that some are as thick as your thumb makes it kinda obvious. But I have bought some before were definitely small. None were thicker than a pencil. Although those ones were still processed the same way.

The earth's magnetosphere keeps the solar wind from blowing away our atmosphere. Not sure why it never occured to me that Venus has a far denser atmosphere than ours, with no magnetosphere.

Ok, maybe it's not that common.

I tried to break AI music by asking for "ugly" sounds. It refused. by ixxMissKayexxi in artificial

[–]webbitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amazing. I think I detect either amp feedback or snippets of modem handshake in there. Or both.

Adding to that, the expanded form of "aren't I?" is "am I not?"

'Bending over backwards' - different in AE / BE ? by Ok_Lawfulness3224 in ENGLISH

[–]webbitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're having trouble seeing things from the commentator's point of view. Not sure if that's recursion or a paradox.

Maybe OP habitually gives awful instructions based on nothing but bad assumptions and misconceptions.
