Curiously egg whites are also used to remove particles from stock (chicken, veal, beef) when you want to have a crystal clear liquid.

> Similarly, do not discourage anyone from pursuing photography by telling them that they have to start with something like film.

When I started photography as a hobby years ago, the community in the forums never suggested I used film, neither did friends (a couple of them working at pro level) and colleagues. I know there are some snob people out there but even the ones I’ve met never actually said to start with film.

That being said, every one of them gave the same advice: don’t worry too much about the gear; instead, go learn light and composition.

I’ve just realized I’ve stopped buying stuff at Amazon that I can find at other, more reliable, stores. Recently I bought a new laptop at BestBuy, even though it was a $100 cheaper at Amazon. Legos, headphones, stuff for the kitchen… all bought either locally or at other online retailers. I’m buying less and less stuff at Amazon, usually books (Kindle, mostly) and stuff I can’t find anywhere else.

I know it's very niche and doesn't apply to everybody but I know of a bunch of comic book/comic strip artists that are doing more and more work on the iPad pro and less on their Wacom devices.

As bad as the web is, I certainly don't miss the days when I had to go to a physical office, wait minutes, sometimes hours, in a line and talk to somebody that may or may not help me, depending on how their day was going. Thanks but no thanks.

In my case the bees (Africanized bees) were really aggressive. Some kids were throwing rocks in their beehive a few seconds before my sister and I passed by (that was in an almost deserted public street).

The bees were really angry and we got stung multiple times. Luckily we’re not allergic and were able to run away. They stopped attacking after we were out of range (my guess), about 70 meters away.

Edit: typo.

Unfortunately no. It’s a very simple app that doesn’t get in the way. I tried using others that were bloated and it was hard to do simple things. I basically need to create multiple routines and have a timer between sets.

I use Strong to track weight lifting workouts. For running I use the workout app in my Apple Watch.

From personal experience, I can say that outrunning a swarm of bees is serious exercise. You’re running as fast as you can, swinging your arms randomly to try and ward off the bees that got close and are stinging (or trying to sting) you; all that while dodging obstacles in the way.

At least on Instagram for iOS, you have the option to tap the Instagram logo on the top left corner and choose "Following". It will only show posts from the accounts you follow and, at least for me, there are barely ads there.

The Glanton Gang was also real: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Joel_Glanton

Probably because he’s got two new books coming out this year: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/08/books/cormac-mccarthy-new...

Or we can say that this was a strong cat 4 instead.

GMail was also invite only IIRC.

Also: sending a check by mail is still a thing.

Best Buy already supports it.

> they've been a little flaky, my first-gen not-Pros developed a terrible crackle and had to be replaced.

Can confirm. Here the 3 of us have 2nd generation AirPods. In one of them the mic is no longer working, on another one of the AirPods won’t connect 90% of the time, and the last one has a combination of these two issues. Another family member is on their second pair already.

AirPods are great, while they are working.

Edit: forgot to mention that 3 of those pairs were replaced while under warranty.

At least in the US, there are regulations for placement of a propane tank that depends, among other things, size and capacity of the tank.

Fair point. I was just pointing out that caring for it is not that hard. Basically same thing I do with my non-stick minus the oil.

When I cook with my cast iron, I wash it by hand using regular dishwashing soap and a non-scratching sponge. Dry it and then coat with a bit of oil before storing it away. Easier than caring for my SS where from time to time I need to use Barkeeper’s Friend to bring it back to its original looks.

Copy Me That is the best I’ve found so far. Done by a single developer, I believe, and it’s been around forever.

Aren’t most stories written over the same template? I mean, look at The Hero’s Journey, Save the Cat, etc.

I think it improved quite a lot. I’ve just checked and it’s using 58mb on my Windows 11 workstation.

When they are born it’s really chaotic. All the stereotypes apply: sleepless nights, etc. after they grow, it gets easier. After my kid was past that phase it was really smooth. My wife and I got our hobbies, had time to do stuff we liked, etc. It all comes down do partnership. We had our second after our first was in his early teens and all the chaos is back and it’s a bit harder now because its 2 but we still manage to have our private time, although it’s been limited.

tl;dr: it shouldn’t be time consuming.

My experience is that you might be able to fake up to a certain point. After that, the interviewer can keep throwing curve balls and see how the candidate will approach those. Of course, it all depends on the problem given. I’ve seen system design questions that are way too abstract to be useful but the best ones I’ve been asked were very real life scenarios.

Systems design questions are the only part of interviews that I actually like and find useful for evaluating actual knowledge - I mean, I think it’s harder to fake it than memorizing a bunch of problems and their solutions on Leetcode.

To get a drivers license you often need an x amount of hours of supervised training and passing a written and driving test. I can buy a guy with a state issued ID (not necessarily a drivers license) and that’s it - perhaps a quick background check before the sale is approved.

> They don’t check for employment eligibility/citizenship status before interviewing

As far as I remember, the vast majority, if not all, of recruiters I spoke with in the past few years asked me about my work eligibility in the US.

How do you ingest the transactions? I’d love to be able to replace Mint!
