Whatever the country's age of criminal conviction (typically 18). It's hard enough to get a job WITHOUT a criminal record.

Depending on the country and/or crime, a juvenile record will also prevent being able to work in certain jobs/industries.

I cut them up into chunks before freezing and then use for smoothies.

What was the last skill you learned and how? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Last two skills I've successfully learned:

Giving subcutaneous fluids to my cat. Followed vet instructions and watched several how-to videos online for different tempered cats.
Making macarons. Followed online recipes, tried some different techniques and troubleshooting through trial and error.

More recently, I have been trying to teach myself HTML whenever I have pockets of free time during the work day. I'm following the mozilla.org Intro to HTML as a guide.

Are you fully tightening one side before starting on the other side?

Halloween is my favorite holiday and I love trying new things to keep the joy of it alive. So Lemmy, what are your favorite Halloween traditions? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Since owning a house my partner and I have really embraced Fall/Thanksgiving/Halloween decor from mid-September until early November (we're in Canada where Thanksgiving is in October). I like fancy/pretty shit so we have a bunch of blown glass and porcelain stuff, candles, some skull/haunted-like figurines, wreaths and vases with faux flowers/black branches. The last two Thanksgivings my partner bought me a bouquet of orange/yellow flowers for the dining table too.

I bake at least once for Thanksgiving and once for Halloween. We also watch Halloween Baking Championship every year, and try to squeeze in some horror flicks too.

We also listen to a very wide variety of fall/Halloween music throughout the season. This year we particularly enjoyed the Nemos dreamscapes compilations (example).

Baked until golden?

What was the worst book you’ve ever read? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

First 10 pages was probably the bulk of the story; the rest was just email replies.

What's the lowest caffeine amount but still tastes good/carbonated drink? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I really enjoy the Bubly canned sparking water. Cheaper than Perrier, so many different flavours, and zero sugar or caffeine.

Remote starter for me. Never have to sit in a freezing car for 5+ minutes waiting for it to warm up.

She was in some "float ring" so more like drifting. Still terrifying to imagine.
