Look, look with your special eyes!

A pill calendar is really handy. When you take pills once daily, it's really easy to forget if you've taken today's since your brain just filters it out

But taking a second dose can be dangerous, so a pill calendar gives you visual conformation that you have indeed taken today's pills

Fiber?

I just did a quick search for coffee nutrition facts, and all resources say 0g of fiber

Assuming you're using a paper filter, only water soluble particulates will end up in the coffee

And, water soluble fiber tends to be a thickening agent (porridge, Psyllium husk)

On what plane of existence is coffee a good source of fiber?

Proton / wine is modern day magic

Most Windows only steam games work out of the box (you do have to enable it in the right click menu > Compatibility options, per game)

Games that use Anti-cheat aren't likely to work (it depends on the Anti-cheat used and how it's configured)

ProtonDB is a good resource for checking if/which games work, or fixes and workarounds


You can use proton or wine on non steam games, but that requires additional setup that I'm not familiar with

The problem is not how to carve the frog into smaller bits

The problem is, how do i get my mind to stop looking at the entire frog

Pets are not children

They have completely different physical and psychological needs and wants, and they need to be respected as a member of their species

Speaking as someone who has 2 dogs, 3 cats, and no kids

They are my companions, and i am their caregiver. But they are not my children

Quality work will always need human craftsmanship

I'd wager that most revolutionary technologies are either those that expand human knowledge and understanding, and (to a lesser extent) those that increase replicability (like assembly lines)

I'm not sure that's their intended design. Old pull-tab cans actually had a ring for you to pull them off (similar to "easy open" soup cans of today)

I'd imagine that as the tab shrunk and changed from pull to a lever action, the "ring" was left as a vestigial design (as a form of skeuomorphism)

That's the only reason i don't think this is real

This is genius

 

The weight of the material is supported by your shoulders, and not your hips, which is far more comfortable in general

In addition to having more room for pockets, overalls can carry heavier things without falling down, nor need for a belt

Since the weight of the material is carried at the shoulders, bending down at the waist is easier and less restricted. The waistband no longer needs to be tight, since it no longer serves a functional purpose
