I have a lot of deadly food allergies, and I just, don't eat out anymore. Too many trips to the ER. Sucks, cause it makes travel difficult, to plan on cooking my own meals, and basically means I can't safely travel abroad anywhere I'm not 100% fluent in

Hm, I actually found the voice acting pretty not great. Some line reads were odd, and the different voices felt like they were recorded on different mics.

I made it to one ending, and really didn't feel any desire to do another go around.

I know what you mean about 'perfect' though, I have my own small list of odd games that, to me, feel like they're 'perfect' in what they're trying to do.

It's not that much slower. Our 20a outlets give 2,400w, while yours gove 3000w. And, it's still faster than a stovetop kettle. Its more that we don't make hot tea very regularly, while drip coffee was the dominant hot drink for so long.

?

Is this a reference to elephants" supposed fear of mice, or just a 'big ear' joke?

Or a woman.

Ancient Greece, generally speaking, hated women

Yeah, this is what I do. It's actually what I've done for decades, even before going vegan; I've always been allergic to seafood and nuts, so omegas are kinda hard for me to get.

Ground flax is great in a lot of things, morning oatmeal and soups are probably the big ones (though, does make is 'gooey', but for soups, does make ot similar to adding flour to thicken).

Whole flax seeds are better in stuff you don't want 'thickened'.

Its the culture war mentality.

"Our idea would work, if the damn Wokes didn't stop us all from having guns at all times!"

Its always the reason why 'their ideas don't work'; cause their opponents aren't 'letting them'

I agree with the point this is trying to make, but I don't think it does its job.

Like, the whole argument from the 'good guy with a gun' crowd is about stopping them early. You'd need to cross reference each of these catagories with 'how many people did the mass shooter kill'. And, this would really only be a strong argument vs the 'good guy with a gun' point if the 'shot by bystander' result had no fewer average deaths.

Additionally, it's easy to clap back with 'well, yeah, our society doesn't have enough "good people" trained with guns, that's why it's only 5%!'

Again, I don't agree with those points, it's just that this chart is pretty bad at presenting an argument against them.

Same ways gay people get 'straight married'.

Could be family pressure. Could be internalized hetreonormativity making them feel like they 'should' do this. Could be they haven't really realized, come to terms with, or accepted their own identity.

I mean, think of a 'stereotypical' aromantic guy. He's interested in women, and sleeps around a lot, but despite not getting feelings, might 'settle down' with one partner because its 'normal, respectable', even if it's not something that makes him happy. Probably won't make the wife happy either, but that's it's own issue, why she might marry a guy that 'doesn't do romance'.

Eh, apples to oranges.

A 60$ game today is so unlike a 60$ two or three decades ago.

No physical medium. Much larger market and (potential at least) sales volume.

Proliferation of game engines; games don't need to 'reinvent the wheel' each time, or write machine code anymore.

On top of that, there's many other revenue streams. Not that I think this model is 'fair and good', but look at the mobile market, where a sale cost of $0 is king.

Something to be said about 'lower cost incentivizing bad practices' (as the article discusses), and yeah, some games could raise their price. But it's far fron 1-1, as 'sales volume' trumps 'sale price' in importance.

538 no longer has Nate Silver or his model; Disney bought it and fired him like a year ago or so.

Still, I agree; I don't like his politics, but his analysis of polls and numbers is probably the best out there.

Those do usually need a fridge and sink though. Not sure if it's a code requirement, but all the ones I've seen had that.

Might be why the call it a 'wellness room', instead of a mothers room; doesn't meet the legal requirements.

gluten stir fry (lemmy.world)

Chinese baked Gluten, in a Sichuan stir fry.

Made the gluten from bread flour. You wash out the starch, than make a basic yeasted bread with it. The 'loaf' you get looks like chibata, but feels like its made of rubber.

Despite looking like bread cubes, they don't get soggy, since they're mostly protein. Texture is like tofu puffs; chewy and spongy.

First time making this, but I think I like it more than tofu for these sauce heavy dishes!

 

Seared king mushrooms, in olive oil, garlic, rosemary, chilis, with a dash of sesame oil, rice vinegar, and lavender.
