"Low taper fade"?

All baking recipes should be in mass for the dry ingredients and volume for the wet ingredients, definitely NOT weight. Because measuring flour by grams (mass) makes sense, but measuring flour by pounds (weight) is fucking stupid. Lots of people in this thread pretending to be smart by using SI units, but were apparently asleep in class when the teacher covered the difference between weight and mass. If you're going to get picky about such a trifling difference between a volume of sugar and a certain mass of sugar at least get the details correct.

In the US it must be Springfield because there's so fucking many of them that they ~~named~~ made a TV show after it.

Stupid sexy autocorrect.

What do you think consequences are? Think it through again.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

No consequences means no benefit either.

There will ALWAYS be mistakes, bias, and corruption. There is no such thing as incontrovertible evidence. And even if there was some fantastical magical way to know absolute truth, that is still a pretty poor justification for more murder.

Execution of innocent people is (and always has been) the entirely predictable, inevitable, and probably unavoidable result of capital punishment. There is no getting around the fact that, as long as the state executes prisoners, innocent people will be executed and "the state", i.e. taxpayers, will pay more for it than they ever would have imprisoning the convicted for life.

How about Mr. Long Neck over there?

It's a damn shame that we haven't built a microwave that actually listens to the pops and stops when the pops slow, just like every bag of popcorn instructs you to do. We've got gun shot detectors; you'd think we could build a chip to analyze popping popcorn.

TV static in recent movies and shows that are set in the past almost always instantly pull me out of the narrative because no one seems to be able to get it right and some are just stunningly bad. It's usually very subtle, so much so that I'm not sure I could even describe what's wrong. Makes me feel old to notice it.

This isn't an unpopular opinion, just ignorance. You're used to other systems. Different systems are different, even among the various Linux distributions. Having used mostly Linux and Windows, I too briefly had some culture shock using OSX. Complaining here is like rocking in a rocking chair, it may feel good but it's not going to get you anywhere.
