I would assume that’s summation mode, so everything you enter is treated as a running total. This looks like a business calculator.

Rock, paper? …ohhhhhhhhhh.

Bake my own bread and freeze it all the time. It’s fine in the short term, and fine for much longer term if you vacuum seal. Bread that’s not loaded with preservatives goes bad in a matter of days otherwise, so freezing is just practical.

And even after this you might want to manually stop the sealer before it puts too much pressure on. Bread is surprisingly squishy because it’s mostly air.

Huh I never type in portrait if I can help it, my thumbs are way too big for it. Landscape any time I’m typing and even then I wish I could make the keyboard bigger without losing visibility to what I’m typing/replying to. I also don’t swipe type, have never really liked it.

There’s a bug dating back to October that made Heliboard unusable for me, because it cuts off half of the keyboard in landscape. Looks like it just got fixed but hasn’t been rolled out yet. Meanwhile heliboard is just really bad about learning new words (tends to think capitalized words are a different word and adds them to the dictionary when you start a sentence with them, can’t seem to handle autocorrecting to a word with an apostrophe). I gave up on it and went back to Gboard and I don’t think I’m going back. Honestly I’m real frustrated with the state of android keyboards right now. Swiftkey used to be awesome but MS ruined it. Gboard is better than it used to be but it barely has an options for customizing it. I don’t know anything better.

Not sure I understand why you would want that. But more options for gboard would always be good.

First thing I noticed on this was that they erased her name. Very lame. Edit: I reported it, removing author credit seems like it should break rules.

Fun fact, you can do a light rubbing/knocking on a tree trunk to coax a screech owl into showing itself.

shrug I guess we’ll see but I don’t think it’s at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don’t see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.

Well we still don’t have a date on it and many previous Nintendo launches have had demand way outstrip supply, leading to the new console being a pretty hot item way past initial launch date.

Perhaps for people who want gamepass but don’t want to deal with PC gaming. But I can’t really think of anyone I’d recommend buying an Xbox to currently. Really the last place platform this generation, by a lot.

I don’t fancy their odds with the switch 2 coming out and eating their hype cycle. Have a feeling people would view this more as an xsx pro than a full generational upgrade. I honestly don’t think Xbox stock has ever been lower so they better hope this doesn’t flop (or perhaps hope that Sony does something really dumb with the PS6 launch, which admittedly is far from out of the question).

Obviously not always an option to use an oven/stove if you are e.g. bringing a packed lunch into a typical office. It’s certainly a better option for some things (you will never get “crispy” from a microwave, period) but microwave still produces acceptable results for many things, particularly if you are willing to put some thought and care into how you use it.

Never for reheating leftovers, anyway, which is 99% of what I use a microwave for. I have a kettle for other stuff. Overly high heat is gonna turn your proteins into rubber and exaggerate the “flaming hot on the outside, still cold in the middle” effect. There’s also lots of other stuff like arranging things to avoid dead spots, making use of coverings to trap steam, not throwing your vegetables that will take a minute to warm up in at the beginning with the big hunk of pasta that’s gonna need several minutes to heat through, etc.

But yeah if you’re reheating your food on >50% power you are almost definitely making it turn out worse than it would be on lower power.

Majority of McDonalds locations are franchised so quality varies widely.

Never over 50% power. I’m always shocked by how many people don’t know how to use a microwave. I usually worked a long time on my food, I don’t want to ruin it through lazy reheating.

Played a fair amount of this at launch, but will probably wait until 1.0 to go back. I’m assuming it’s a lot less buggy now?

Hopefully doesn’t really need said but hitting someone in the head with a bat could result in charges all the way up to murder, so you probably don’t want to do that.
