This is correct. Web dev is told to make sure ads load before content. They don’t want users that don’t generate profits.

Is it that they spice the patties or something else? What’s the liklihood their burgers are mixed meat? Like maybe goat + beef?

Predatory fish like tuna accumulate extra mercury by eating other fish.

Sardine (Wikipedia): :

Because they are low in the food chain, sardines are low in contaminants, such as mercury, relative to other fish commonly eaten by humans, and have a relatively low impact in production of greenhouse gases.

For comparison (bluefin tuna):

since bluefins require so much food per unit of weight gained, up to 10 times that of salmon, if bluefins were to be farmed at the same scale as 21st-century salmon farming, many of their prey species might become depleted

I’d love to do it nearly-daily, but it is expensive and I typically don’t have most the ingredients on-hand. Right now I have a huge amount of watermelon and a bit of salami, but no suitable cheese or veg., and it takes so much time and planning to get everything together it just doesn’t happen except for large gatherings.

Antipasto or charcuterie with grilled veg, crostini or other bread, cheese and maybe some meat (salami or such) – but particularly grilled asparagus. Something like this:

@[email protected] has the best answer. Write a letter. Tell him stuff you remember doing together. Maybe include a physical printed photo of the two of you and/or the family together.

Alaska. Remote, expensive, so cold your car’s tires freeze with the flat spot they had while you were parked so you thump thump thump down the graveled roads until they stretch out, and to paraphrase @poccalyps, ‘ice storms, earthquakes,… and some of the dumbest, most entitled Jesus-humping maga fucks in the country.’

Very common saying with lots of links (merriam-webster, dictionary, wiktionary, grammarist)

Is your wife from somewhere very isolated or exotic? Or does she simply want you to add more variety to your discourse? Toh-may-toh/Toh-mah-toh

Per that definition:

Vacuum tubes (thermionic valves) were the first active electronic components… and by the 1920s, commercial radio broadcasting and telecommunications were becoming widespread and electronic amplifiers were being used in such diverse applications as long-distance telephony and the music recording industry.

So tubes are in! Old lamps are OUT!

Are thermionic diodes allowed or just semiconductor diodes? What about the early crystal diodes (subset of semiconductor). Did the Colossus computer count? Eniac? I guess particular items don’t matter because no individual owns either and I doubt individual built replicas.

What counts as electronics? Guitar speaker with vacuum tubes? Old rotary phone? Lamps so old the electric cords are covered in a hard fabric? If you require solid state / chips and boards rather than things that did the same function without them, you’re excluding the stuff predating that tech.

I’ve played this game enough that I’m tired of it. New DLC won’t change my mind.

The game got me to figure out that I don’t want to play a game where the people are always going to be really unhappy no matter how far I advance. If I’m playing a city/world builder, I want a game where my advancment also means things are better for the NPCs. In this game, my advancement means I can start with some tiny different perks, but nost of those are wiped out by Prestige runs, so the NPCs have really brutal conditions all the time. And if things start going well? Poof! You’re on to the next town before you can enjoy the last one.

Ah, yes, I remember those days with the text-only LYNX browser from the unix terminal and the joy of Netscape Navigator on machines that could handle windows. Searching was difficult until there was Alta Vista, which was AMAZING compared to the competition, but even it failed for D&D-style gamers who tried to search for “role playing games” and got back a list of a million sex sites and zero visible pen/paper/dice games. Happily, you could add boolean operator rules to get rid of some of that (NOT sex NOT babes NOT XXX) – but you’d either be typing a lot of naughty words to skip or you’d have to remember the sites that catered to RPGs because searching could be very hit or miss.
