Iron_Lynx,

This meme has a weird amount of Terraria energy to it

Iron_Lynx,

As someone who lives there, you’d wish. Instead it’s a real place to be envious of 😛

Iron_Lynx,

As a Dutch person, nah. Double sided guardrails are the norm in here. It’s relatively uncommon to find a guard rail that’s single sided.

Iron_Lynx,

On this location though, the bike lane is off to the side. It’s an 80 km/h road, that’s too fast for on-street cycling.

Iron_Lynx,

NL guy here.

So a centre marking tells me it’s an 80 km/h road, and the side markings, together with the trees off to the side, aim to optically narrow the road, making drivers more conscious of their speed. This is part of the Dutch universally applied standards of traffic calming.

If there were only markings on the side, usually a little inwards from the roadside, it’d be a 60 km/h road. This would be even more pronounced if the space outside of those lines had red asphalt. In such a case, it’s sometimes allowed, or even expected, for cyclists to cycle in the main roadway.

Iron_Lynx,

The opinions of individuals are not necessarily reflective of the opinions of the collective.

Now, who’s claiming to hate Dragonforce? Because it’s the first I’ve heard of it recently.

Iron_Lynx,

Also, their mixes and compositions have improved. TtFatF was an assault on the ears where some instruments might as well not have been recorded. Mixes from more recent tracks are more balanced. Unlike TtFatF, on their most recent albums you can actually hear the bass.

Iron_Lynx,

I mean, xkcd numbers its comics sequentially, and he’s well into the 2000’s now, so a 1xy comic is ancient. Looks like at times, old xkcd was brutal.

Iron_Lynx,

And only quartz and amethyst at that smh

I would tell the Habsburgs to go fuck themselves, but it seems they’ve beaten me to the punch.

Iron_Lynx,

He’s information vegetable, animal and mineral

Iron_Lynx,

He’s right though.

Mac & cheese really is unimpressive. Spaghetti Carbonara is way better, even with inaccurate ingredients (e.g. using bacon instead of guanciale or even pancetta).

Though if you do insist on making it 'Murican style, try melting the cheese into a bechamel sauce and adding some diced ham or cubed bacon. The former makes it way creamier, even if it ends up standing for a while, and the latter just adds some neat flavour and texture. Stick with ham and/or bacon, or maybe very few other things, otherwise it stops being mac & cheese imo.

I saw a story once of someone who asked internet strangers whether they were the asshole because they hated someone’s mac & cheese. When they described what went into the stuff, it was full of added things, a quarter of which would already stop it from being mac & cheese, and half of which either conflict with each other, or are stuff which if they were the sole additive would give me a reason to nope out of the dish.

With both mac & cheese and spaghetti carbonara, I’d say less is more.

Iron_Lynx,

And even a smaller Bakfiets will readily handle over 99% of the listed cases.

Iron_Lynx,

If it’s red from black-body radiation, you should be more than fine with regards to contaminants.

You should be more concerned with nutrition. Or the current complete lack thereof. After all, anything healthy has by that point gone up in smoke.

Iron_Lynx, (edited )

Not to forget that if it’s glowing red, it may be hot enough to set your head on fire the instant you stick it in your mouth. So do not eat anything that’s glowing red from black-body radiation

Iron_Lynx,

If the item shows any black-body radiation in the wavelength range of visible light, i.e. it can be seen with the Mk. 1 Eyeball, it’s absolutely too hot too touch, let alone eat.

Iron_Lynx,

I think there are two valid scientific/philosophical answers without taking religion into it, based on one question:

Are we specifically talking a chicken egg, or the concept of an egg?

In the former case, eggshells contain compounds that cannot exist in nature, and must come from a creature. a chicken egg cannot exist without a chicken before it, thus the chicken came first.

In the latter case, various evolutionary splits happened between animals evolving egg developing capability and some animals evolving into chickens. From this we can say that the egg came before the chicken.

Worst case, this solved exactly nothing. Best case, it can be an exercise in reasoning.

Iron_Lynx,

City “twinning” goes beyond the EU. And it can happen for all kinds of reasons. My favourite example is the towns of Dull, Scotland, Boring, Oregon and Bland, New South Wales.

Iron_Lynx,

NGL, Orphaniser or Orphanizer sounds like one hell of a metal band name

Iron_Lynx,

Apparently the UK still uses stone as a step above pounds. Then again, the UK is a hot mess when it comes to units…

Iron_Lynx,

Nah. The bigger fuck you is still calling it twitter with no acknowledgement of the name change.

An even bigger one would be calling it a centralised Mastodon alternative 😜

Iron_Lynx,

Or of course the WoW parody:

Haha, well now, we call this the act of gaming. But there are several other very important differences between real people and pixels that you should know about.

Iron_Lynx,

Sweat baby, sweat baby, sex is a Texas drought

Iron_Lynx,

So put your hands down my pants and I’ll bet you’ll feel nuts
