That’s fair! Whatever works for your situation.

I use the twist-and-tuck and the fridge in combination. Works well. When I worked at a restaurant we did the twist-and-tuck, but never needed to refrigerate bread because we went through it fast enough.

That’s why I live that chaotic neutral life.

You’ve never ended up with stale or moldy bread? I’m envious.

equivilating

I think the word you’re looking for is “equating.”

“Equivilating” is not a word.

“Equivocating” is, but it means to deceive without lying by creatively telling the truth, to seem you’re saying one thing while really saying something else. This is an art form if you play a lawful good face character and your DM says you aren’t allowed to lie.

GIFs are huge files for the information they contain. MP4 or WebP are good options, but I don’t know if Lemmy supports them the way they do GIFs.

I truly wish McLaren weren’t complete morons in going about this season.

Well good news then. Because they aren’t.

No one expected Norris to do this well this season. No one expected McLaren to be favored to win the WCC. McLaren is exceeding expectations. That’s not the behavior of complete morons.

Sticking to your team ethos of not having a #1 driver and potentially missing out on a WDC no one thought you were going to get anyway isn’t being complete morons.

Edit: That said, I would very much like to see the team form up behind Lando for the rest of the season simply because of where we are.

I’ve said it before, this is the best season of F1 since 2012.

He really should change his name to Sprint.

Where he will likely make more money. It’s really difficult and financially unsound for most American drivers to go to Formula 1, unfortunately. Largely because they would need to be in Europe or Asia coming up, because there aren’t any good US junior series -> F1 pipelines.

Hell, you could be a prodigy who gets 1st in Indy NXT and then 3rd in your rookie IndyCar season and you wouldn’t have enough super license points to go to Formula 1. And even if you did well enough over three seasons to earn a super license, F1 teams wouldn’t pay you nearly what IndyCar teams would because you’d be relatively unknown. And you’d be in a garbage backmarker car.

Meanwhile if you’re good you can earn big money and win races in IndyCar rather than putzing around in the backmarkers in F1 (like Rossi, who went from scoring no points in a shitty Marussia in 2014-2015 to winning the Indy 500 in 2016).

That seems fair. It is conceivable that Norris could win the WDC. It is not conceivable that Piastri could at this point. That doesn’t make Norris the “#1 driver,” it makes Norris the best bet for the team.

Yep. We are lucky to be watching this season. I remember watching downloaded races from 2012 back in 2015 or 2016 (when I became a fan of the sport) and thinking how awesome it would’ve been to experience that season. This is pretty close. Lots of individual winners, and a likely Red Bull WDC.

Especially as more devices start utilizing Qi2 wireless charging with magnets. Otherwise for non-iPhone devices you need something like a magnet ring or the wonderful Snap 4 Luxe to utilize a magnetized wireless charging stand.

I have this awesome Anker one on my nightstand and it charges my iPhone, Apple Watch, and Jabra earbuds. There are cheaper options, but this one let me charge the watch at it’s highest speed.

(Not so) fun fact, the answer to this question changes if you’re a Young Earth Creationist.

Obviously the egg came first, because ancestors of modern chickens were laying eggs long before they resembled chickens.

But YECs say that the chicken came before the egg, because they were created as adult animals. And they’ll tell you this with confidence.

Source: grew up a YEC surrounded by YECs.

The more wild thing to me about this is that it had never happened before!

Really? This race was a bit of a snoozer but this season is the best since 2012, IMO.

That is essentially the car version of the Sam Vimes “Boots” Theory of Socio-Economic Unfairness.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

I feel you on this fear, but that fear can be aired in therapy. Therapy is ENORMOUSLY helpful. And, not to play the What-If game, could potentially have salvaged your romantic relationship had it been brought in earlier. (I do not say this to make you feel shitty, but so anyone else struggling may see it.)

My wife and I started therapy at the first of our communication problems. We figured we have our car in for regular tune-ups, why not our marriage? And our therapist was thrilled. He said he wished more married couples began the process when they still got along well, because it’s easier.

But it’s definitely worth it even late in the game. Getting an outside, trained perspective on navigating the issues you have as a couple can dramatically improve quality of life. Even if you never expect to be romantic partners again, it can make you work better as a team for the reasons you mentioned.

I cannot recommend couples’ therapy enough.

if she were XY in this scenario, wouldn’t that mean that she’d pass that trait along to her kids as well?

I could be wrong, but I don’t believe XY females (Swyer syndrome) produce eggs and thus cannot bear their own children.

But a colorblind XX woman who can bear children would give birth to colorblind sons and, if the father of the child is also colorblind, colorblind daughters.
