That's not a problem at all. I've been intermittent fasting for almost 10 years now. Started with 36 hour fasts 3 times a week. Then eventually started following my shift work schedule. If I was evenings I'd eat breakfast and lunch, if I was days I'd only eat supper. Now I'm days only so I only eat supper.

My parents who are almost in their 70's started doing it a few years back and they lost a ton of weight. The thing I love about fasting is it changes how you deal with hunger. My body being hungry doesn't really phase me, I'm able to ignore it rather easily. I don't get stomach aches or headaches. I can mentally tell myself that this is my fasting window and it makes it really easy to not eat.

It's hard to explain without you actually doing it but it was one of the best choices I've made. I'll never go back.

No you won't. This whole defrost conversation always bothers the hell out of me because people leave out a very important factor. Will the defrosted item be consumed right away or will it be cooked first?

Cooking it kills the bacteria that would've came about during defrosting in the "danger zone". I'm not saying you can leave it on the counter for a week but it's not as bad as a lot of people on the internet make it sound.

Just because support ends doesn't mean you can't keep using Windows 10. Or am I missing something?

I have updates turned off anyways.

If I'm only a fan of the OG Star Trek does that still count?

This is such an incredibly stupid take. Like working from home has anything to do with how massive Microsoft and Google are, they were huge before WFH.

You also seem to be under the assumption that everyone takes public transit to get to work. The reality is, many of them will commute to work in their car. This is terrible for the environment and clogs up the highways with people who don't even need to be on the road and can just do all their work from home.

You just sound like one of those people who works a job that can't be done from home and is just jealous of the ones that can. Work from home is a huge benefit for employees and the environment, saying "Microsoft bad" doesn't change that.

I'm not the original poster but I also hate it. It's those lines that kill it for me. If it wasn't for those I'd love it. But it's beautiful work.

I absolutely loved it! My dad recommended it to me. When I finished it, I knew it would be something my wife would like. So I'm rewatching it again with her and with my 10 year old daughter. They are loving it too. I wouldn't change a thing about the ending.

Comparing a lifeguard to stocking shelves at a grocery store, that's a fucking reach lmao.

I'm not that young, I grew up with VHS tapes and remember what it's like. Times have changed, it's not a requirement to be stuck in the "good old days".

 

My whole life I've always hated burgers that you get from fast food/restaurants. It's just a bland beef patty with a bunch of toppings that make it a pain to eat. These places advertise their burgers as being "100% Angus Beef!" or whatever, like that makes it appetizing... Why is this the norm? Do people just not know any better?

I learned how to make burgers from my dad and our approach is completely different. It's all about the patty, not about the mountain of toppings. We throw onions, garlic, bell peppers, egg, worcestershire, salt and pepper (anything you want really) into a blender. Blend it all up and incorporate it directly into the beef. Then you shape your patties. This method makes the actual burger patty delicious, you could eat it as is if you wanted (which we sometimes do).

I've yet to meet anyone who didn't prefer our burgers. Try it and you'll never go back to those bland meat disks.

Pressure canning food (sh.itjust.works)

So me and my dad were talking about pressure canning and how it's very uncommon. I've never talked to anyone irl that pressure cans, maybe some water bath canning but that's it. I wonder why it's so uncommon? You can get a pressure canner for less than 150$ and it's incredibly useful.

I mainly use it for stock/broth but you can use it for so many things, tomatoes, soups, chili, baked beans, stew, spaghetti sauce, etc.. Honestly, anyone who cooks whole chickens somewhat regularly should invest in a pressure canner. I cook two whole chickens at a time and use the carcass to make about 14 litres of stock. I also make beef, turkey, pork and smoked variations of these.

It's so much better than buying your stock at the store. I will admit that it is a lot of work, from start to finish it takes me about 3 days because I wet brine my chickens. But you could just buy the bones from your butcher which I have done. Just wondering if anyone else does this or reasons why you don't do it?
