From is underrated? I didn’t know that, been watching it religiously.

An older favorite of mine was The 4400 (the reboot is absolute dogshit though). Unfortunately they cancelled it after 4 seasons, but the original authors published 2 books afterwards to finish the storyline.

Other series I enjoy that aren’t on most people’s radar (primarily for being British, mostly crime):

1. Vigil (crime series dealing with an investigation on board of a nuclear submarine, 2 seasons, closed storyline).
2. Unforgotten (crime, every season starts with an old body being discovered and then showing all people affected by the loss of said person over time until they eventually get closure. Highly empathic actors and excellent character development, season 6 currently being filmed).
3. Death in Paradise (iconic light entertainment crime series playing on a remote Caribbean island where changing inspectors from England with various degrees of clumsiness are being sent to solve murders. Every episode is usually a closed case. Season 14 to start end of year).

Once with no atmosphere and the sun going nova, there’s a chance of the rock getting obliterated. With a nice boost you might fly off to another planet eventually. Might not be inhabited or even inhabitable, but hey.

If you’re in acute danger, call the cops. A credible threat has been made. Even if they can’t remove you or your brother, everything being on file might serve at the very least as a deterrent to execute his plan.

One of my all time favorites. I usually recommend it along with I Origins. They hit differently, but scratch the same itch for me.

Leather slippers (or loafers, think they are called differently in some locations) don’t have laces you could possibly loosen.

Hiking boots and winter shoes are often challenging to put on due to the rigid ankle support.

Other shoes such as Converse and the likes get really worn out and flimsy on the heel, to the point where trying to slip in without support will just wrinkle them up.

Some people are unable to bend down properly due to knee or hip issues, etc.

Shoehorns make life easier for almost everyone. I’ve been using them for 20+ years and wouldn’t miss it.

151 including bots, and 551 communities (I usually browse by /all and just block everything I don’t care about, mostly anime, gaming, regional politics and sports).

Have a look at how some early apple varieties looked like, before they were cultivated:

Yeah but every 180 days they deactivate your balance and you have to log in to enable it again. Annoying.

Same in Germany, so I just got a free credit card from Advanzia Bank in Luxembourg. As long as you pay the bill on the due date (via bank transfer, which is free in the EU), there are no fees and charges whatsoever.

No you don’t. The name field is optional. If your bank requires you to fill something in, their app/system hasn’t been updated to comply with EU banking regulations. I’d simply write Not Applicable from now on. Or Mickey Mouse.

Hence it only applies in the US.

That article is a wild mix of paranoia and conspiracy theories.

Never expected to read about burning witches, Kill Bill, covid, and government control in one setting.

I guess the author has some good intentions, but the way he presents his stuff makes him seen like a crazy person.

And most of the cons aren’t inherently negative.

That sounds a bit like “The Prince in Waiting” by John Christopher (more famous for “The Tripods”), it’s a trilogy also set in the distant future after a nuclear war, where all machines have been outlawed and humans exist alongside dwarfs and mutants. Over the course of the trilogy, the protagonists (living in fairly alright areas) venture deeper into more and more radiated areas and encounter grotesque stuff.

Some local market, they are quite large. Think they are from Malaysia.

If you meal prep and know what you’re doing, 5 days is not outrageous.

Enjoy! It’s really good stuff, hope you like it!

I’m assuming you’re vegan?

If what you’re looking for is a quick vegan dish, here’s something I learnt in Japan - baked avocado.

Open a ripe avocado lengthwise and remove the seed. Take a sharp knife and cut a grid-like pattern into the avocado, going as deep as possible (careful not to puncture the skin!).

Now, pour some soy sauce of your liking (ideally not a thickened one, and with a moderate saltiness level) into the cavity. You don’t want to fill it completely, that would be overpowering. Maybe about 1/3 of the depth, just enough to allow it to seep into every crevice when baking.

For the baking process itself, crumble up some tinfoil to make a stand for the avocado halves, you want them to remain as level as possible. Bake them on 350F / 175C for about 20-25 min, you want them to be soft but not burned.

Once done, decorate with sesame seeds and either spoon them out directly (that’s the Japanese way) or spread on a toasted sourdough bread, sprinkle some smoked paprika and chopped chives & coriander over it, and enjoy.

Vegetarian option: Crack an egg into the cavity (on top of the soy sauce) 5 min into the bake. You want about 15 min left for solid eggwhites with a still semi-runny yolk. Mix it up and spread on bread.

Omnivore option: Fry some bacon beyond crispy, crumble it up completely, and drizzle the bacon bits on top.

I’m using some generic dongle for $2 and it works just fine. I compared the audio quality to sound played directly off my laptop’s AUX with no discernible difference.

The US. We’d usually use North/South/Central/Latin America for specifics, or if we wanted to imply something happens all over the Americas, then we’d refer to “the entire American continent” or continental America.

That’s why I said “essentially”. The data is no longer accessible by the system, which is all that’s needed to prevent malicious files from being executed.
