Many of these recipes come from Ukrainian immigrants in North America. The size of the cabbage rolls also vary from region to region.

My mother has a similar recipe to this that was passed down from my great grandmother, that she got from her Ukrainian neighbors in Saskatchewan in the 1920s.

I had a coworker who was second generation Ukrainian-Canadian who has almost the exact same recipe.

These types of cabbage rolls are hard to find because nobody wants to poach them in tomato juice for 6 hours, and the result is tough chewy cabbage. Can't buy them, can't find them in any restaurant.

I find it fascinating. You could play bingo with those people's profiles.

The squares would be something like:

  • fuck Trudeau
  • Jordan Peterson
  • WEF conspiracies
  • fuck Danielle Smith
  • retweets Pollievere
  • lines in AB (free space)

I found a polearm that happened to have decent base damage, and nothing else. Sold it for $20 on the RMAH and ended up using that to buy the expansion when I finally came back.

Can't stand the way it works now either though. It's basically one of those idle games now. You just play the same shit no matter what difficulty. The only difference is the number of zeros on the damage numbersnas you gradually gear up to whatever the season armor is.

That's what keeps people coming back to D2R. You get a new piece of gear and suddenly you can run areas that you couldn't before. You have that carrot of maybe one day getting an enigma or eBotD, or you'll get a good drop for another class and now you're levelling up an alt so they can use that gear.

I'm content to wait a few years to see if it gets any better. I bought D3 on launch and didn't come back until a year after the expansion.

With the amount of microtransactions in the game it's only a matter of time before it goes on sale for like $15, or goes free to play. I'll get it then.

It's between Apple and framework for me for my next laptop. The question is do I want a laptop that I can infinitely repair and upgrade, or do I want a laptop that actually has battery life when I pull it out of my bag because it has a functioning sleep mode. Thanks Intel. Maybe make sure your processors are actually power efficient before axing S3 sleep.

My wife switched from iPhone to Android and has the opposite problem. She never dismisses her notifications, so her notification bar is constantly full and she'll have 30+ notifications in the tray.

My OCD couldn't handle that. If I get a message that I don't want to respond to I leave it there because I know that eventually the OCD will overcome the social anxiety and I'll have to respond to it.

8 years would be the Nexus 6P. I booted mine up last year and aside from the faulty SoC it's still a perfectly usable phone. Those dual front facing speakers are still great. Battery life is poor, but then it was poor to begin with.

I think we've also plateaued in terms of features. A phone in 2030 will probably have a brighter screen and slightly better camera, but outside of synthetic benchmarks I doubt it's going to look or feel any different than the Pixel 8 will in day to day use.

There is no continent called "America". We have North America and South America.

When someone says "South American" I don't think Alabama I think Brazil or Argentina.

The term "North American" is commonly used when you're describing something that applies to both Canada and the US. Eg. "North American sports teams".

We commonly use the term "Central American" when referring to Mexico, El Salvador, etc. because even though they are technically in North America there is a strong cultural divide, similar to how the middle East is technically Asia, but you'd never refer to someone from Saudi Arabia as "Asian".

Semicolons are optional in JavaScript unless you are combining multiple statements on a single line, which is generally not something you should be doing anyway.

I avoid them whenever possible. It encourages people to write poorly formatted code. But then I'm a python dev so I tend to be opinionated when it comes to whitespace.

Protest laws generally revolve around the right to peacefully assemble. If the stated intention of your 'protest' is to block traffic and cause gridlock then that falls to meet the definition of 'peaceful', as it puts public safety at risk.

One of the linked articles quotes the Essex police who mention that one of the people impacted was a pregnant woman in medical distress, unable to receive medical care due to the actions of these 'protestors'. I would imagine there were dozens of similar incidents over the 37 hours they held the city hostage.

I strongly disagree with your first point. Kids these days are more familiar with ChromeOS than Windows. Google has proven that as long as it has Chrome and a taskbar at the bottom people will be fine with it.

For long term support I also disagree with #2. The company I work for develops software that goes into both windows and Linux environments. The Windows environments are several orders of magnitude harder to secure and maintain because you never know what bullshit Microsoft is going to pull with their updates.

It may be easier to find a Windows IT person to maintain the system but it's going to be significantly more expensive and significantly less reliable than an immutable OS like Fedora silverblue.

D4 was dead the moment they announced D2R. Why would I pay $80 for a game with microtransactions and battlepass when I can pay $50 for a game that comes complete in box?

They should have taken D2R kept the mechanics and just rolled new classes, maps, and items.

I don't want a new game, I just want more content.
