Plus it's not just about total time between "I want food" and "Nom nom". There's also the matter of how usable that time is. On a good day it might only take me a few minutes longer to get fast food, but all of that time is spent behind the wheel and most of it is spent driving. Making a sandwich at home, on the other hand, only about a minute is spent actively handling food. The other seventeen minutes while the patty cooks are free; I can it spend doing anything I please. So instead of comparing twenty minutes for fast food vs. eighteen minutes for DIY, it's really more like twenty minutes vs. one minute.

He sees you when you're crashing,
He knows you've locked your brakes.
He's there when you back into folks
And when your lead fuel gives you shakes.

So, until you buckle up,
Until you burn clean,
Until you limit drunks
And embrace the green:

Grandpa Clause is saving your Ford

It's a fun show. The ending didn't quite land right, but whatever; it's not the kind of series where that matters. Also, I didn't have any problem with the CGI and don't understand why so many people are complaining about it; probably they're just the CGI equivalent of audiophiles and should be ignored by any who don't share that particular affliction.

I don't know if this is the case for other people, but I have to be careful about using slurs in any context because the more I see or use a word the more likely it is to slip out in other situations. I'd never purposefully use a slur on somebody, but my word-choices are largely running on automatic when I'm angry. I just push intent at my mouth and then my subconscious picks out words matching that intent and feeds them into my tongue. If I push the intent "strong targeted insult" into that system, a slur could match those parameters and make it out my mouth before my conscious mind can catch and filter it. Entirely avoiding using slurs, and ideally avoiding even thinking slurs helps to avoid this happening (both by avoiding them entering my vocabulary-supply in the first place, and by building the mental reflex to immediately drop them like they're hot if they do pop into my brain).

A more society-level reason to discourage people from publicly using slurs even in discussions about them is to make it harder for bigots to stage "discussions" as excuses to loudly use slurs while in earshot of the people they'd like to use those slurs at.

People also get paranoid about automated (or braindead) moderation, or trolls who shame people based purely on the fact that a quick and context-free search of their post history turns up N uses of a slur. It's often easier to just dodge these kinds of problems than to fight them.

Wrap it in the wire, then spin one of them. That part's important! Won't do anything if you don't spin it.

Are you playing the stable build? I don't remember if it was like this on 0.F and I haven't tried experimental yet, but on 0.G the crafting list is sorted with craftable recipes at the top in white and the ones with missing requirements at the bottom in grey.

That's assuming you're talking about the actual crafting menu (& key). If you're instead talking about the construction menu (* key), it doesn't sort but you can hide the unavailable options with the ; key.

Might not be that bad. My computer picks up way less dust sitting on my desk surface than it did when I had it on the floor, and I imagine OP's TV is mounted at least as high as that.

I question that. According to Wikipedia, 50 shekels in ancient times would have been worth anywhere from five months to five years of unskilled labor. In parts of the USA that still use the federal minimum wage, that works out to between $6,000 and $73,000. In most of the country it'd be higher yet.

"But he's really a great guy once you get to know him! Sure, he hurts us sometimes, but only because he loves us so much. It's really our own fault for not being good enough."

Ten nanoseconds of travel time for every three meters of distance, or roughly one nanosecond per foot.

I recommend CrossCode. It's a puzzle-heavy top-down action-RPG. Think 2D Zelda games, but faster paced and sci-fi themed. You play as Lea, an amnesiac who's trying to recover her memories by playing a fictional MMO called CrossWorlds. I love basically everything about it: the art, the music, the characters, the story, the puzzles, the level design; it's just great.
