I actually looked for one in °C but the only ones I found had big stupid display screens. I just wanted one with 5-6 simple presets without adding unnecessary points of failure.

To be fair, I didn’t look that hard though. I wasn’t willing to spend that much time and the place I order my tea from labels all the recommended temps in °F anyway.

And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.

Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing has been a game changer for white tea.

But where do you put the tomatoes, pickle, peppers, and onions?

Mortal sins are those that must be confessed or you’re screwed. If you die with some venal sins on the books you might still be ok, but not mortal.

According to Catholics, all sins can be absolved through confession, repentance, and penance. Suicide is a problem because you don’t have the opportunity to do this, that’s why they say all suicides go to hell.

The list of mortal sins is kind of funny (not ha ha funny). It’s mostly boring stuff like not going to mass or sex outside of marriage but then murder is just mixed in with those. And like the commandments, rape is not explicitly mentioned.

You just made me see the cap on the pole for the first time.

I’ve got a lot of play in my life and the woman almost always made the first move. Because I don’t want to be a creep giving unwanted attention and I’m the kind of idiot where a woman can come sit in my lap and stroke my inner thigh and I’ll think “hmmm, I wonder if she might be interested in me.”

If a woman has never hit on you, I’ve got bad news for you dawg (assuming you want a woman to hit on you).

Edit: Lemmy, help me settle an argument. The night my wife and I got together, she sat in my lap, leaned back and into me, tilted her head back, put her arm around my head and pulled it down, and placed her mouth millimeters from mine. But I moved the last two fucking millimeters so she insists that I kissed her. Who kissed who first?

One of the Epstein emails talks about pics of Trump blowing Bubba and the speculation is that Clinton is Bubba.

The use of the definite article “the” is important.

He didn’t ask if Putin “has photos” like you and I might if we were joking about some hypothetical blackmail material we don’t actually know exists, he asked if Putin “has the photos.”

uBlock Origin for Firefox?

I think he’s saying add him to the list for directing it, not let the eight off the hook because they didn’t act independently.

The deal was the Republicans got their eight votes from senators that aren’t up for election soon.

It always goes something like that. It’s never 30-40 senators or house members from the opposing side that vote for something when a deal is reached. It’s always just enough, with the votes coming from the ones most able to take the hit due to not being up for election next time, in a safe seat, very high popularity, etc.

Even when the minority leader admits to being part of the deal, they aren’t necessarily part of the group voting for it.

Depends what you mean by work. Before I finally quit for good, I had several attempts that failed. If I could drive for more than 30 seconds without passing a place where I could get smokes in less than a minute, I’m pretty sure one of the earlier attempts would have stuck. I sure as hell wouldn’t have engaged in any black market activity to get them.

I’m not in favor of restricting other people’s choices due to my lack of willpower, so I’m not in favor of bans. But if your definition of working is a very large percentage drop in smokers, it might work despite adding tobacco to the black market.

It would certainly be a lot harder to get pack-a-day addicted. It would probably be a more occasional indulgence for those that did get them.

He’s still in the line of succession for the throne. Changing that would require an act of parliament, which I assume will happen soon. But until then, even if he’s no longer called Prince, being in line for the throne is kind of what makes a prince/princess.

Maintenance costs suck, but even that has a silver lining when you own. It’s yours. When your fridge breaks in a rental you’re not out any money, but they just bring by another jank landlord special. I redid my kitchen with Thermador, not the top of the top brand, but pretty far up there. That cost quite a bit but it’s mine and my kitchen is far better than anything I had renting.

That too, last year before I finished my mortgage my neighbor was paying well over double my mortgage, property taxes, and maintenance costs combined.

The value of a paid off home is not the equity, that’s just numbers on a paper until you die and your heirs sell. The value is in living for peanuts for the rest of your life.

My house is paid off. My monthly housing costs are $735 for property tax that can’t increase more than 2% year due to California law. My neighbor three doors down with the same floor plan rents for $8500/month. That difference will only increase for the next 40 (I hope) years until I die.

Hmmm, yes, what a coincidence.

I don’t know how the Mercedes ones work or what type of fridge he has, but BMWs just have a door light and a filter goes over it for “M”, “BMW”, the roundel, etc., and my fridge just has a light.

I assumed he found you could put the filter from the car on the fridge light with a minimum of fucking around.

But you’re right, the more time and effort spent on this, the stupider it becomes.

I get where you’re coming from, I’m logo free to the maximum extent practical, but a fridge is inside your house. If i wanted an “M” projection on my fridge light (I definitely don’t, but if I did), I wouldn’t consider that providing free advertising.

I recently renovated and said fuck no to all the smart home shit. Just the idea of having to troubleshoot the WiFi because my kitchen light won’t turn on drives me into a rage.
