    I’ve never thought of the ice bath as a technique for easy peeling (I definitely start in boiling water for easy peeling). I’ve always done it to stop the cooking so the eggs don’t over cook, and for quick cooling so I can use the eggs soon after cooking.

    You should let them warm a bit if you don’t want a couple of the shells to crack. That said, I rarely remember to take them out of the fridge and I’m generally using a couple eggs immediately after cooking, so I don’t mind if a couple of them crack.

    It would have to be a more sustained power loss that lasts through your morning wake time, or else the Home Hub would boot back up and still have the alarm time programed like nothing happened. Battery back-up is more important on non-connected alarm clocks because they reboot to 12:00 and may not retain the alarm

    Yeah. that’s kinda weird but I don’t really care because when I’m using right click to search it’s usually not a deep search. 

    There’s a button at the top of the collection (to the right of the + Add current page). It’s pretty nice. You can add multiple notes and use them as dividers between groups of webpages, and there is basic formatting options as well.

    Yeah. The perfect use case for me was ordering fire wood last fall. I searched for venders and saved the pages for a few that looked goo, and then track prices/delivery timelines on the built-in notes section.

    I’ve been using the Chromium Edge since the first public beta, and love it. One of my favorite features is Collections. Super nice for tracking small ephemeral projects.

    I can right click and search in Edge. In fact, it lets you to decide if you want to search in an entirely new tab or do it in a sidebar of the current tab.

    It’s worth a watch. 

    I mean, when you quote me out of context it sounds worse than the actual point I was trying to make, sure. 

    In general, garlicky and creamy things go well with tomatoey things, so after my initial reaction to the headline of “that’s weird,” I actually didn’t think it sounded that bad. Sure, the term “ranch” evokes a “trash” response from lot of people, but really adding a bit of ranch isn’t much different than making a

    I do love the mixing (and garlic bread dipping), so I usually toss alls the noodles with a couple ladles of sauce and a few ounces of pasta water and the heap a big ladle on top of each serving.

    I’m more concerned you’re not tossing your noodles in the sauce. 

    Yeah! And quit pissing around with these tiny toy motors and batteries. I have an 82v battery operated lawn mower and that damn thing is powerful enough to make pretty easy work of my relatively large lawn. I want that kind of power in a vacuum.

    I wish more companies would make cordless/battery vacuums that aren’t that Dyson stick-type clones. I hate that design and would prefer a more traditional stand-up vacuum form factor.

    As far as I can tell, the base rate for developing dementia in the study is around 0.6%,  so the absolute risk increase would be somewhere around one-third of a percentage point.

    Not a proper statistician, but work next to them and have built a few regression models. 

    It’s pretty insidious since lay people are pretty bad at understanding statistics and risk. A lot of people would see these findings and think that somehow processed meat increases their changes by 44 percentage points to get dementia. 

    Statistics are statistics for good or ill. It’s the incentivization of negative practices in the research and media systems that lead to this type of BS getting press releases.

    Increased absolute risk is often absolutely underwhelming.
