Well this is just off the top of my head, but… bribe the captain with beer and cooking.

I clean mine by soaking in hot water and scrubbing with a nylon bristle dishwashing brush. I don’t have a dishwasher. This is working great, but the key is I’m doing it after every 2nd or 3rd time I use the air fryer.

It’s a new one, we had to throw our old one out because we didn’t wash it well enough and it gunked up so badly it was almost unusable and started smoking whenever you turned it on.

I did get the gunk off with thorough scrubbing but it damaged the shit out of the non stick coating, we weren’t gonna risk using it like that.

Taking real good care of the new one.

Not the guy you asked but that is a decent question.

My hair thinned massively between ages 21-23, and when I was 24 I’d had enough and finished the rest off with a razor.

21-22 I could get away with it, but by 24 it was ridiculous and nothing could hide it short of always wearing a hat.

I’ve made sure I’m good to go, as I always thought the day might come that I can’t afford internet anyway.

I have my entire gog and itch library downloaded (if I have any steam games not on gog, I’ve pirated them if I can find it). I have my nas full of movies and tv. I listen to all my favourite music on records. Every couple of years I go through and update my rom library to make sure I have the most to to date best known roms.

Even as much as possible I keep latest version of the Linux iso I might want, and if there is an appimage of my most used programs, it’s there too.

I’m pretty much ready for my life to become leaner when it comes to internet.

Whenever I see’fediverse’ I still think it has something to do with Roger Federer.

When I was a kid I would get Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape. That was fun stuff.

This is pretty simple though right?

Healing factor - always-on healing.

“We make a mess of things when we start lying.”

It’s written in an older English style. Essentially it’s just the first one you’ve mentioned.

The ‘first’ in the second half of the phrase isn’t relevant in current times but would have been common to include in sayings like this - it’s more noting that you have the intention of lying, not that you’ve found yourself doing so off the cuff.

It’s like this: “if you are going out there to lie about something, this is going to go to shit”. Rather than, “this is going to shit because it’s the first time you’re lying”, that’s a far too literal take on older English.

And for any non-native English speakers - ‘practice’ is the act of doing something, as opposed to ‘practise’ being learning/mastering through repetition.

I thought Shadow Generations was just a rerelease or remaster of Sonic Generations but with Shadow content added.

Have I been mistaken and missing out on new Sonic?

For the last 35 years we have a roast pork, potatoes, gravy, corn, carrots, beans, red cabbage.

This year, after catching a plane and then driving for 9 hours, they said we’re doing a “cold lunch”. It was a salad and a few slices of ham out of the fridge.

I don’t really know how to express the disappointment.

I’ve taken my partner and kids interstate to see family we haven’t seen in 2 1/2 years, whilst bushfires are burning not far from our home.

We’re due to fly back on Boxing Day, and not sure what we’re going back to yet.

I’m putting on a brave face for our kiddos, especially our 4 year old who is really into Christmas this year, but we’re terrified what things look like in a couple days.

I have to ask, are you trying to be obtuse? I can’t tell if you’re aware of what class war is but pretending not to, or if you are just looking to kick start a bad faith argument?

Seeing how excited my kids get. If it wasn’t for that, it’s just an extra busy time of year.

You had to ask permission, but only so you could be given a toilet pass - this was so if any other teachers or staff saw you walking around you had evidence that you were allowed to be out of class.

I only see one person who questioned if you were trolling. And the response you’ve largely gotten are because people don’t agree with your point of view.

It’s good to have advocates in positions of privilege. If we were all to rely on someone like yourself to try and change hearts and minds, how quickly and widespread can you move that message and get people to understand the plight of workers? Not as quickly as someone with privilege and influence who can help with that.

I don’t know this guy or his politics, just examining this discussion and (as with the other responses you’ve gotten) not really sure where you’re coming from with this. You said yourself your co-workers listen to this guy all day, you can see that kind of thing odd important right? (If it’s the right message he is pushing of course)

Are you serious dude? Fuck me.

Yes of course. And if they go spend it on a pack of chips or coffee from the 7-11, that might be just what they needed to get through the next few hours.

Only they know what they need right then and there, and I hope we’re past the condescension of people refusing to give money but offering some food item they believe the person would benefit from (because “if I give money they’ll just waste it”).

Sometimes they might want to talk if you can spare some time too, to break the social exclusion they’re feeling.

And they might not be appreciative, or they may have a as bad attitude, that’s the way it goes. They’re dispossessed, they’re looked down on, and they could be sleeping on the side of the road on a rainy night wondering how long they’ve got left. They may have lost families. They may not have it in them to say “thanks mate”.

I thought in the context of the question it was obvious what I’m referring to.

If it had warnings about not opening it, or not containing user serviceable parts, don’t fuck with it.

Never forget about SDF!
