  • It’s detachable in my fridge.

    I use the egg holder on the door shelf for small bottles that would otherwise fall over when the door is opened. Medicine or nail polish, that sort of thing.

    I also the egg holder to … hold the eggs … after they’re boiled, so I can fill the egg cooker instead of boiling just a few at a time. I use cold boiled eggs for sandwiches or salats.

    I do not use it for holding raw eggs as those already come in an egg shaped carton.




  • putting it within the context of a particular life choice adds a layer of focus to the conversation.

    It won’t create a very interesting debate though, because OP already excluded most people who followed through on the opposing view in the question itself.

    This extra layer of focus really functions as a filter, which can only result in a hall of mirrors.

    It’s perfectly fine if OP just wanted to confirm an existing bias and need arguments for that, but it’s absolutely not a very interesting conversation.



  • It can happen in many ways. If you’ve ever used your mail for anything, then the address is out there.

    Just the other day I got an email addressed to 50+ people with every email in the “to” field. Ironically the mail was about online security…

    Obviously it’s a breach on GDPR, but the damage is already done. If just one of the other recipients has been hacked or has forwarded to someone who is or has allowed some dodgy app to syncronize contracts, the scamners now has all the emails.

    There’s absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent it.




  • “Ding ding ding!” When someone agrees with something you wrote, but wants to make sure that you know that they already knew and claim ownership of the statement that you wrote. Condesending asshole. I did not arrive at your opinion late.

    “Meanwhile” in cooking recipes. Just no. I am following a recipe in stepwise order. You do not get to tell me what I should have already done in the previous step.



  • If my phone didn’t have a cap, I’d hotspot it all, which is basically the idea of cellular home internet routers. I found a home router without a cap, which time will tell to be true, but it’s still more expensive than my phone with a very large but not unlimited cap.

    They want to get paid, that’s the reasoning. The amount of data is really irrelevant except for pricing.

    Roaming fees used to be the same until EU stepped in. Hopefully EU will eventually step in and order a full stop to ALL CAPS too. We live in the “future” now, right? Bring me my free unlimited connection so I can download that car they talked about.




  • I hope that lesson was taught last time. Those that didn’t learn it then are unlikely to learn it if he should win again.

    I believe that there were many people who voted for Trump in 2016 because of the reasons you mention. I get it. Sometimes it’s necessary to destroy something to build something new. Give the world a kick in the balls instead of keeping patching the broken status quo.

    Trump is just not the guy to do it. While he did destroy a lot of shit last time, he didn’t actually clear the ground for a new building.

    You know what would be more disruptive than watching an old geezer shit on the carpet a second time? You know what would piss off a lot of people?

    Electing a woman as president.



  • I bet those 40 hours are more stressful than before.

    Efficiency has increased,so you’re probably doing a whole lot of more tasks with the same time, but the bureaucracy still exists. It’s just a different kind of bureaucracy.

    While we no longer need to stand in line to get a rubber stamp on a paper from some rude clerk just to pay a bill, we now need to download apps, keep the systems up to date, manage user accounts and input the data exactly how the app wants it. While the individual task might be somewhat easier than before, it is now expected that you do a whole lot more of these bureaucratic tasks yourself. All the tech bloat creeps up and makes every little task a little more difficult than before.
