Wow. I’ve been vegan or vegetarian for decades and I’ve never heard of blanching tofu. Gonna have to try that tonight!

My organic chemistry prof was equally weird about synthesis. But his ego rested on everyone passing, in contrast to the biology prof who failed half the students in her classes. She was the better teacher. I don’t remember much from my second semester of o chem because I didn’t really need to learn anything to get an A, but I have retained quite a lot from her classes

I always say eldritch blast like Falcon Punch in my head

Is it pronounced tomato or tomato in Nahuatl?

I don’t understand what confiscating the weapon (and doing nothing else) even really achieves when the murderer owns a company with the word “militia” in the name.

My boy cat has always given me very affectionate, but forceful, cuddles under my chin, especially when scared. Which reminds me that my old lady cat always buries her face in my elbow when she’s scared.

So, I’ll just have to pick up every cat and see who trusts me enough to use me as a blindfold lol

Magritte makes me feel the same way

It feels like the difficulty meter has been broken lately

This may not be accurate anymore, but ~15 years ago I got my foot in the door as a game tester by showing a history of alpha and beta testing. I can go into more detail about my interview process if you want, but the point I wanted to make is that you don’t need to be a programmer or artist to work in the game industry.

Broader advice is to take what you love and instead of doing exactly that - make a lateral transfer to a different industry. Making good beer and making good pizza dough take the same skills, their end products are what differs

He can’t remember her name unless someone else says it first

Where did you get twenty-something from? No, I consider people in their twenties to be young people.

Yeah, I understand why employers use it. Oddly, I used to work for Microsoft and can’t remember using OneDrive for our projects lol

But as a student I really prefer saving stuff locally and to a separate storage device. The university system has been hacked at least once since I’ve been a student, we all lost our credentials and were required to physically go to the campus to reset them. The university also revokes access three years after graduation.

I’m in university (as an old) and just about everyone from faculty to staff has been pushing me to put everything in OneDrive. I know better, but young people tend to trust that an educational institution is looking out for them.

My freshman year I met teenagers who didn’t know what a flash drive is. Most of them have iPads with no storage, one of my classmates was just uploading all her lectures directly to YouTube so she could review them later.

It has a serrated edge for cutting through stems or roots. Mine has a ruler etched into it to measure depth, the brand he had is more simple and elegant tbh

Edit: it’s hard to tell from that picture, but it is angled for scooping dirt

I have a hori hori knife and a Japanese garden sickle. Both can only be mistaken for weapons if you are the kind of person who thinks everyone is a criminal
