What game(s) do you want to talk about? Make a post!

To echo what another person said I came here from /all

Chittenden county is moderately dense. It has about 25% of the state’s population. There’s public transit in the form of buses and it seems moderately used. It’s a rural state, but not nearly as rural as you seem to think.

In contrast I grew up in a significantly more densely populated suburbs in the greater Boston area. People might use the commuter rail, but I’m not even sure what other public transit even existed. If it’s there I’ve never heard of anyone interacting with it.

True but I’d just like to sit and admire the word frugivorous for a moment

Maybe folks just like symmetry.

If your comments are going to gum up the thread with a segment that they don’t think will have any effect, what’s a few more to match?

As a kid I had heard Got my Mind Set on you by George Harrison on the radio once or twice.

A few years later when I was starting to listen to music for myself I heard the Weird Al parody, and wanted to track down the original. I didn’t remember any lyrics to the original so the best I could do was accost people with a very poorly sung chorus of “this song is just six words long.”

It didn’t go well. I didn’t find the original until the Internet had caught up enough for me to find it easily.

I had a similar arc with Downtown by Petula Clark. Thankfully without me trying to sing a parody chorus at anyone.

It’s also worth noting that this is famous enough that Amazon has offered a service called Mechanical Turk since 2005.

The implementation and service are both fine in theory, but you do need to be clear that what’s being paid for is humans pretending to be computers.

Slice it before you go. Are items with bread not found in picnics?

Sandwiches are perfect for a picnic, and it’s an occasion you’d want to gussy them up a bit for. Fancier bread might be the cheapest and most obvious way to do that.

It’s still not loading for me unless I open it externally

I’m responding more to the feeling that a community has a single human posting. Even as a reader it can feel that way.

Part of the problem may be lack of tagging and filtering tools.

For example:

I’m not interested in memes so if a community is largely filled with them, my only way to avoid them may be to block the community. This includes communities that I might otherwise subscribe to, or want to engage with.

This is also tied into community fragmentation, community discoverability, and feeling the need to browse All to see anything. I don’t know how widespread my issue is, but I have seen others mentioning having extensive block lists of communities.

This looks like the photographer was aiming for a shot without people, and took a picture early in the morning or similar. Notice there’s also a lack of cars on the street and pedestrians on the adjacent sidewalks.

When I’ve walked through the area there’s usually a lot of people around. Some using the park, some walking to or from the north end.

The neighborhoods to the north used to be inaccessible to foot traffic from downtown. Now they actually feel like part of the city and are a big draw for both tourists and locals.

It really depends what sort of recipes you’re making, but for cooking very loose approximations are often fine.

I often have to convert to weight/mass in order to find out how much of an ingredient to buy. I have no idea how many cups an eggplant is. But once I get it home the recipe might as well say “however much eggplant you have.”

If I’m truly off, I will typically scale up the recipe adjusting for the extra meat or vegetable content. I’ll more or less assume that 1lb of meat is interchangeable with 1lb of veggies. That’s not quite true, in particular with salt.

Your mileage may vary though. Some recipes and ingredients are much more sensitive to deviations.

You may have missed the point of the example. It asks about steering wheels, and immediately transitions to vehicles that don’t have steering wheels.

I had a vegetarian sausage that had a close-ish flavor recently. It might have been Beyond? The texture was surprisingly awful though. Far from inedible, but I’d expect all parts of the texture to be closer, especially the casing.

That does sound great! Ham isn’t necessarily a bad ingredient, it’s just unusually difficult to tell if it’ll be good or it’ll suit your tastes, especially with more inexpensive kinds.

It’s hard to see where I’d choose it over another topping, but I imagine with most pizzas I don’t really care about ham’s failings.

Pineapple and anchovies might be the two stanard toppings that are really build-arounds. Most other standard pizza toppings seem closer to “do whatever, it’ll be fine”

The ham used on pizzas around here (northeast US), usually isn’t salty enough to work on a Hawaiian pizza. It’s often deli ham, which runs the risk of being sweet, but otherwise flavorless.

Bacon or pepperoni work better. Jalapeno also helps.

Slightly hotter, but still quite tame take:

Ham is the problem with Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple is innocent.

You’ve moved away from the part which specifies long-haul trucking. To my understanding this is an area where trains are a reasonable solution.

Last mile coverage we also have room for improvement with much smaller vehicles, like bikes.
