  • Toasted ham and cheese with quality ingredients. It's a tasty marriage of sweet sugar and salty ham, crisp toast and melty cheese.

    Best one I made was when staying in Antwerp. I got the cheese in Amersdam - a truffle gouda. Butter was also dutch, from memory, but I can't recall exactly. Nice and salty. Bread was local - Suikerbrood. Sweet bread that browns easily. Ham was prosciutto from France somewhere.

    Have to put the butter on the outside and pan-fry slowly to ensure the cheese melts. The If you don't have a sweet brioche bread, sprinkle sugar on the butter to get that crisp, sweet exterior.

  • most inkjets clog like a motherfucker when not in use.

    If you have an inkjet printer, even an expensive one, you have to leave it plugged in and in standby mode so it can do it's regular cleaning cycle.

    A good middle-range inkjet printer (like a Canon MB2700) can be economical and durable; unfortunately most people's experience of inkjet are the ultra-cheap ones sold in big-box stores, sold at a loss, to sell over-priced cartridges, and not left plugged in/don't have cleaning cycles.

  • I tighten them and it saved my monitor! Robbers broke in to our house, stole a bunch of stuff. The computer monitor was still there, connected to the computer, dangling from the table.

    How do I know they tried to steal it? Because they tried to cut through the cable with PAPER SCISSORS, because they didn't know how to unscrew the cables.

    I feel sorry for the dumb robbers. I hope they didn't pawn it and are still enjoying playing Wii Fitness without the balance board, which they neglected to take with the console.

  • Yes, my Logitech mouse, which is great it every other regard, had the left button give out after about of year of very heavy use (StarCraft, not that my APM is that high). With the addition of some superglue and a piece of plastic I've been using it for 4 more years, still going strong.

  • Depends on where you're talking about. In Australia the right wing are using nuclear as a diversion to slow down the transition to renewables, so they can stay on gas and coal longer.

    There's no nuclear power in Australia, and the time needed to create the industry, train or poach workers, create a plant and get it up and running makes no environmental or economical sense compared to what they are already set to achieve with wind, solar and storage.

    If you've already got nuclear up and running, use it, but each new plant needs to be compared to the alternatives for that specific location, and the track record of the nuclear industry and government in that location.

  • I have this problem. A couple of AAA projects I worked on, years of work, got cancelled and all that exists now is "stolen" footage. Then there's the dozen mobile apps that have been pulled from the app stores (or gotten "out of date" and no longer supported). Can't find APKs or store listings, just 3rd party site reviews are the only evidence of their existence.

  • Yes, but the video has been deleted and reuploaded several times after been called out.

  • For any cave dweller who haven't seen it, here's Hbomberguy talking about the history of this video and it's plagiarism, as @Mago alluded to. https://piped.video/watch?v=yDp3cB5fHXQ&t=5071 (if the timecode doesn't work, it's arond the 1:24~25 mark.

  • By age eight, he had acquired "the superb great law with supernatural powers," which was supposed to include invisibility, levitation, etc. Li Hongzhi

  • There's enough provable atrocities being committed by the Chinese govt to worry about the conspiracy theories as well. Especially when a lot of the body and organ harvest theories are spread by a California mansion dwelling homophobic cult leader who can totally levitate he just doesn't have to prove it to you!

  • You don't lose credibility for going against the grain, you become a superstar... You just have to have compelling evidence.

    All the cases I've seen of people who complain about this aren't being ridiculed for 'revealing the truth', but for doing shoddy research and sticking by it.

  • I had no Idea Orange Julius was a thing until I visited the Philippines and ate at "Orange Brutus" and wondered where they got such a peculiar name from.

  • Isn't another part of the problem is how rural the population is? With a population of 9m, only 1.7m live in Budapest, and the second biggest city is only 200k. The rural population only consumes Hungarian propaganda and doesn't get any other perspective.

  • Am Australian, can confirm. Seeing my first wild cardinal and bluejay were like what seeing an echidna or koala for the rest of the world would be like (except I went to them, rather than them come to me like the comic)... You've seen them on TV, now there they are IRL, like meeting a celebrity.

    Was very special seeing a squirrel for the first time, and a woodpecker. Growing up in the southern hemisphere isn't just cool for the unusual animals we have, but for the 'common' animals we don't.

  • In Australia at least we usually use tartar sauce for the fish (shark) and 'chicken salt' with maybe some vinegar or soy sauce for the chips.

  • Best giant prawns (langoustines) I've had were on the Isle of Skye (at the Oyster Shed)! They weren't battered, though.

  • If Technology Connections is up your alley check out LGR if you haven't. He has a very smooth voice, talks mostly about 90's and early 2000's computer nostalgia, with smooth jazz in the background. We fall asleep watching him regularly as it's just a calm, chill time.

  • You forgot budgie smugglers.

  • Haha, I guess it's not on anybody's "must visit" list; a real hidden gem.

    Maybe we should keep quiet about it... don't want to attract too many people going to/from neighboring Santorini!
