The town I grew up in had several public apple trees. I have fond memories of climbing the trees with my friends to get apples.
Maintenance is a thing, though. If not properly maintained, the apples will often grow too densely, yielding only small and sour apples. I would never consider the apples in my home town to be filling food - at best it would be a small snack. It would require a lot of labour to maintain a tree to the point where it would feed people in need.
I’m also bothered by very detailed QR codes. Milk cartons in my country had a QR-code for their website. It would be a ~10 letter url, maybe with a short path. But for some reason, the QR code was extremely detailed, as if it contained several kilobytes of data. I’m not sure if there were a large number of tracking-related parameters in the url, but it was very obviously unreasonably large.
A random person - no.
A person who controls millions of narrow minded gun wielding nationalists - maybe.
My VW Passat hybrid has carried more material on the roof rack than I’d be happy to admit.
Yes, but I enjoy a lower temperature when I’m feeling warm. ~19 feels good for cooling down after activities in warm weather. And when I’m very cold coming into the car from a blizzard, I might crank it up to 25. My ideal extrenal temperature is dependant on several conditions, it’s not statically 20.
This just adds to the joke, right? 1st world problems being problems which would be wildly undermined if compared to other’s problems.
I don’t know. Maybe you live in a place with low teperature variations. When I get into my car on a hot summer day, I like to turn the temperature down bellow regular comfort temperature to cool down quicker. When I’m stumbling into the car after shoveling snow and scraping ice from the windshield, I like to turn it a bit higher. On long drives, I sometimes get warm after spending several hours in the leather seat, so I turn the temperature down. My girlfriend likes the temperature a bit higher, so when she uses the car, it’s turned up.
It’s a comfort thing, and it’s definitely something I change a lot with my mechanical dials.
I want a viking funeral, but to save expenses, skip the boat. Chuck me into the ocean and fire arrows at me until I sink.
The dog seems to know when she needs to take me for a walk. She’s usually right about that stuff.
My kid is 4 months old. Is a screech and a poop a confirmation?
To be fair, the horse part is just green and brown. The sky and most of the color palette is from the locomotive puzzle. Not sure about gradient or time of day. So to me, the only real similarity is camera angle and perspective.
I propose to stop using “pro-life” and “pro-choice”. Instead use “pro-quantity” and “pro-quality”.
Not sure if this is a thing everywhere, but a lot of bakeries around here will serve baked goods on a plate with a napkin under the baked goods. Not a big problem with things like croissants, but when cakes and stuff with sticky bottoms are served like this, it drives me insane. Both the purpose of the napkin and the plate has been defeated.
3/10.
7/10 with rice.
I remember that my brother acquired the full collection of every single song which had ever been on the top 20 list of songs for a national newspaper. It dated all the way back to the 60’s, which is ancient for my brother and I, both born around the early 90s. I never got close to listening to the full thing, but it was awesome to have a collection of songs which basically no one knew existed and be able to choose a random year and pick a popular song from then to listen to.
You could do pretty much the same thing now, but the fact that it’s so easily available and accesible kills a lot of the magic.
It’s like almond milk, oat milk or soy milk. But when milking spaghetti, the liquid is so clear that we just call it spaghetti water.
The vessel would still have a lot of speed after escaping earth’s orbit, so the trajectory would become a large orbit around the sun. You still have to slow down by about ~30km/s (or ~100 000 km/h) to make that orbit intercept with the sun’s surface.
Next you’re gonna tell me the fish he caught on a fishing trip in '99 was slightly smaller than he described. Outrageous.
Same in Norway with “gift”. Also, the same word is used for “married”.
Unfortunately, yes.
