I want to finally degoogle my life and install GrapheneOS
  • No, what I meant it's funny without the context that has already been provided. i.e. If someone didn't know about GrapheneOS, they would find it odd that someone would buy a Google phone to get away from Google.

    It's hilarious, you see? Please laugh.

  • Ideal temperature for killing bacteria is more of a spectrum than a hard set number. 165°F is the USDA recommendation because it's idiot-proof. Guarantees that all bacteria will be instantly killed.

    But if you pull the bird at 165°F, you've already overcooked the meat and dried out all the juices. Personally I take my poultry out at 150°F, let it sit and naturally rise to 155-157°, and so long as it stays at or above 155 for more than 90 seconds, it's perfectly safe to eat. The number is more like 45 seconds IIRC but I double it just to be safe. Been doing it this way for over a decade and it's never gotten anyone sick.

  • What are some poor pieces of advice for life?
  • I mean it's always worked for me. Debt can be easily ignored in the United States, and I've gotten by just fine without ever opening a line of credit. I always pay cash for everything, including vehicles, and we used the girlfriend's credit to get a house so it's all turkey and gravy. Even then I could always just rent through private landlords like I always have.

  • Hell Yeah
  • Well I'm glad that you've found a way to reuse the same ingredients several days in a row, but the GF and prefer to have variety in our diets. By the time comes around that I have second use for the ingredients I bought, they've already gone bad. We got sick of wasting so much food.

    Edit: You keep making the same arguments over and over again. I'm not buying too much. Produce tends to be sold in large bunches and can't be easily frozen. Meat is sold as several pounds and goes bad before I can finish it all. Same goes for milk and eggs. They go bad too quickly.

  • Well that's better than nothing so I'll take it.

    I'm just glad that Valve is bringing back the Steam controller. So sick and tired of boring, uninnovative Xbox and Playstation controllers. I like the idea of toggle switches under the controller that aren't just remaps of existing buttons, and actually usable touchpads. I hope the left stick and D-pad are hot-swappable in the final version, but beggars can't be choosers.

  • Hell Yeah
  • Look, all I'm saying is that sometimes I just want to buy a little bit of parsley or cilantro for a dish, but can't. I gotta buy the entire bundle and waste most of it. And that's just one such example I can think of on top of my head.

  • Hell Yeah
  • Did you know that refrigerators don't stop food from going bad, they just slow the process? And before you mention the freezer: not everything can be frozen. Like most produce, for example. It's not a temperature issue, either. I regularly probe the temperature in several areas to make sure all parts of the fridge stay below 38°F.

    Even with a fridge, most of the groceries the SO and I buy end up going bad before we can use all of the ingredients. It's cheaper to just eat out most of the time.

  • Hell Yeah
  • Yeah seriously, the "cOoK aT hOmE" crowd really annoys me sometimes. Unless you only buy non-perishables, more often than not it's just not economically practical for one or two people. Grocery stores are optimized for families.

  • God dammit, why will nobody bring back 6 button pads? I'm so sick and tired of having to buy a separate controller just for fighting games. This controller would be absolutely perfect if it just had two more buttons...

  • Also, modern OSes are designed to fill as much of your RAM as possible. Windows does it, Android does it; pretty sure Linux and MacOS does too. The number you're looking at only shows the RAM usage by currently running processes. Unused RAM is wasted RAM, so your OS will fill as much of it as possible with prefetched data so that your machine will be more responsive when you actually need to use the data that was stored in advance for you.

  • You know that what I'm doing is not only allowed by the CoD Mobile developers, but they even made an official emulator for this very purpose? Google "Gameloop".

    Regardless, I play games to have fun; so knock it off with the guilt tripping. The players know that I'm using a mouse and keyboard. They don't know how old I am because in-game mic usage is rare these days. I'm playing within the rules. Not my fault that they're using the touchscreen or plugged in a controller instead of a mouse.

    If it bothers you so much, then just stick to ranked and you'll only get matched with other mouse and keyboard players. But again, I don't give a fuck because I'm having fun again, just like I used to when I was young. Mobile gaming in an emulator rekindled my interest in gaming overall.

  • 2k Launcher has been fully removed from all games
  • A lot of times I just want to make a quick change for later without actually having to fire up the game. Even if I'm not interested in playing it anytime soon.

    Weird, I know, but I have ADHD so if I don't do something the moment an idea pops into my head, within seconds I forget and the thought is lost forever. It's so bad that I'll often finish a sentence without having any idea how or why I started it.

  • Reddit Got Rid of Their World Buffs
  • Relay for Reddit will always be my favorite. It had a nice tablet mode and the "swipe to do everything" interface was nice.

    I have yet to find a decent replacement for it. Voyager is alright but I swear that it was designed to maximize unintentional button presses. It's so easy to accidentally go to the community or the user's profile when I just wanted to click on the post. And I can't even count the number of times I accidentally collapsed a comment when I was trying to edit or upvote it instead. This is why the swiping interface was so nice. Made it almost impossible to unintentionally do the wrong action.

    I miss Relay so much, but unfortunately the developer decided to play by Reddit's rules and start charging people to use the app. So it's never coming to Lemmy.

  • Reddit Got Rid of Their World Buffs
  • Same. Unfortunately I still need to visit smaller subreddits to get answers on niche topics, but that's my only use for it now. In and out; 10 minute adventure. Not spending all day on the front page like I used to. Any more time than that on the website, and I'll just end up getting into an argument with some Gen Alpha idiot who feels the need to butt in and say something ignorant. 10-15 years ago you'd only see that kind of behavior during summer break. Now /r/SummerReddit is all of reddit.

    I hope that one day I can finally abandon that shithole for good.

  • You can still still be competitive, you just have to be a bit clever about it.

    I recently started playing mobile shooters... in an Android emulator with a mouse and keyboard. Destroying touchscreen kiddos with a proper input device never gets boring.

    Some games are even smart enough to detect the mouse and keyboard and only match you with other players using external input devices, like CoD Mobile. That's one of my favorites because it's basically CoD: Greatest Hits. All the best maps from the old games are there. And new modes come out every week. It's so much better than modern CoD; takes me back to the days of playing CoD4 and MWII on the Xbox 360 when I was a teenager.
