I started with Swype keyboard way back in 2011, then eventually switched to SwiftKey after a couple years. However, I eventually grew frustrated with SwiftKey’s predictive keyboard and its absolute refusal to learn certain words that I used frequently (like my girlfriend’s name). I switched over to Gboard simply…

She was great while at Serious Eats, too. I don’t know if she left due to similar issues of feeling unappreciated, or if BA simply gave her a better offer at the time. Maybe SE could lure her back.

I got turned on to these Chef’s Presses by Kenji Lopez-Alt, and they’re pretty awesome. Small, stackable, and storable, but heavy enough to press down bacon, sandwiches, and steaks.

I’m not really concerned about the added power usage. I would like, to know, however, what impact wireless charging has on the wear-and-tear of the battery. Because in my mind, the devices I’ve been charging wireless have lasted much longer than traditionally-charged devices due to not wearing out the charging port.

This. And USB-C wasn’t the lifesaver everyone thought it would be, either--I’ve heard people even with recent USB-C jack phones wear out after a year or two.

I just ordered an S10e from Samsung, as it seems like the last flagship phone they’re going to make that has all of the extras I want in a phone (SD slot, wireless charging, and the increasingly-elusive headphone jack). I’m glad to see that it will get updates for a little while longer, since it’s already a year out…

Considering that the horse portrait right next to the black woman has exactly the same shirt, doesn’t it seem more likely that the artist started with a human pilot face, and then animorph’d it into the horse pilot on the right?

He stole it from Alton Brown’s recipe.

I remember a Straight Dope article from about 20 years ago that first opened my eyes to the “Witches rode broomsticks...but not in the way that you think” phenomenon.

You mean now I’ll have to choose between drinking while I’m cooking and drinking late-evening to unwind?

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call “regulatory capture”.

0:25 in—that pan still seems to have some grime running up the sides of the pan even after the rinse. What did you do to remove the remaining stuff?

You must be all the rage at AA meetings.

So is the idea that you just put the IP in the middle of the dining room table instead of the hot pot and people still serve themselves while eating?

I’m sorry, I give up. I’ve been trying to buy a house since 2013, waiting for prices just to go down even a little. Yet somehow a global pandemic with an unemployment over 20% is still not enough to make the fucking housing market dip. There is no reason why this thing hasn’t popped yet, and I’m convinced it never…

My girlfriend and I have been avoiding buying any meat at the grocery store for the past few months to protest Tyson’s treatment of workers.

No clue what happened to my reply. I specifically called out Klean Kanteen and S’well as being good bottles, and had Amazon links to them, but those seem to have disappeared.

I’ve probably spent well over a hundred dollars at this point buying various water bottles over the years. I’ve tried plastic, metal, glass, you name it. All the major brands have had their chance.

I’d like to throw Standard Ebooks into the list of recommendations. They usually start with Gutenberg transcriptions as a base, and then further clean up the texts to be better optimized for e-readers. It’s quite a bit of extra work on top of the raw text, and makes for a much more polished reading experience.
