You should check out a book called The Flavor Bible.

If you think about recipes as programs written by other people, it should begin to make sense why it's hard for you to parse. The "code" is laid out differently than you would have done.

You could spend the time to rewrite it into something that's easier for you to read... or you could simply write the recipe yourself.

This book can help you do that by telling you what flavours work well together and how to get the best out of them.

Why are you trying to bypass a security feature of your bank? Because that's obviously what this is, so that nothing shady can happen in the background without your knowledge. This post seems pretty suspicious to me.

Maybe your interests are completely innocent, but this kind of bypass can and likely has been used nefariously.

OP, please stop linking to your posts. Cross post the original. Doing this stops folks on other instances from interacting with the original post easily.

More than meets the eye...

This is really cool. I could see a lot of uses for this, from deliveries by drone to a bigger better Mars quadcopter rover.

I was happy that you were back, Stamets.

Was.

Mostly just kidding!

Oh Markdown, why must you make line breaks so weird.

This is an acceptable reason. Cookies that fall apart are less enjoyable than cookies that don't. Exception approved.

Although let's be real, even a crumbled cookie is better than none.

What is this... Let them cool? This is a foreign idea to me. You're supposed to "cha-cha-cha-cha" while you enjoy them fresh from the oven. The second and third degree burns are part of the experience!

I didn't see it suggested yet, but you should check out Selaco. It's a fairly new FPS with tight gunplay and retro graphics. The enemies AI is well made, they will work together to hunt you and try to flank you. The weapons are a mix of standard fare with some new stuff, and you can modify them with upgrade packs similar to how Doom 2016 does it. The upgrades give each weapon a good variety for different play styles.

The first chapter is released and playable, and there are 2 more chapters coming. The first chapter has a good amount of gameplay, I put 35 hours in it.

I'm assuming since your going to university that you're now 18. That makes you an adult, with all the legal freedoms. You are legally capable of making your own decisions that, crucially, your parents can't stop.

Honestly, you know the answer to this. The problem is you are afraid of what the consequences will be. Moving out will damage your relationship with your parents, but honestly? It's already damaged. Their dependence on you is too much for you to handle right now. Their need for control in your life is hurting you. You have tried talking to them about it, but either they don't understand or aren't willing to listen.

The financial aid that they are providing is another problem holding you back from moving out I would guess. Getting a job will help to offset that, and you said that you are getting student loans as well. Check with your university about any financial aid programs they have too. And while it's not glamorous, there are organizations like the food bank and thrift stores that can help you get by in lean times.

The last consequence of a decision to move out will be the uncertainty and instability you will face. You will likely be doing it without the support of your parents. But you aren't totally without support! You have your friends that can help you, from helping with the move, to giving advice, or simply just being a shoulder to lean on or an ear that will listen.

I won't sugar coat this. It's going to be hard. But! It is not impossible. Things look bleak and dark right now, but it won't always look like that. Once you take that first step of moving out, and getting out from under the shadow of your parents, things will start to change. You have the strength to make it through this, because you've had the strength to make it this far. Don't forget that.

 

Please, people. Be reasonable and considerate of Reddit's need to make money. It is, afterall, spez's main focus.
