  • Better thermos than a Stanley?

  • Another thing to check, do you pre-warm the bottle? If not, it will absorb the heat of (ie, cool down) the coffee as soon as you pour it in. But if you get scalding hot water from your faucet or a kettle, pour it in, wait a minute, and dump it you will have a warm bottle that won't feel the need to take as much heat from the coffee.

  • White House privately asks Republicans to stop talking about ‘mass deportations’ as public opinion turns on ICE

    Jump

  • focus on the deportation of violent criminals

    Just as ICE has been doing, right? All those people charging their cars in Minneapolis without the right skin color - all of them were suspected violent criminals when ICE started asking for their paperwork?

  • This chili oil is apparently very Calorie dense

    Jump

  • Grams are a measure of weight (well, mass if you want to be really specific). Tablespoons are a measure of volume. In order to do a proper comparison you need to know density.

    Because metric plans things nicely, a gram is one milliliter of water. 4 tbsp is 59.15ml. So... Yeah, pretty damn close to 60, but again that's when working with water. I would imagine chili flakes are a little less dense and might throw that calculation off a bit.

  • How ICE Plans to Put 8,500 Immigrants in This Georgia Warehouse

    Jump

  • Why the fuck does the floor plan include a gun range?

  • This chili oil is apparently very Calorie dense

  • And 4 tbsp would be triple 4 tsp, or 54 grams. Similar ballpark at least.

  • Do RICH people of color ever get harassed by ICE?

    Jump

  • For what it's worth, off duty cops who aren't white were getting harassed by ICE in the Minneapolis area. Little different than class, but still something.

    YSK that coffee is healthy. Starbucks is not real coffee. It's trash.

  • Indonesia will quit Trump's Board of Peace if it does not benefit Palestinians, Prabowo says

    Jump

  • Oh good, as long as they're safe!

  • Who are your country's and cultural neighbors?

    Jump

  • Don't forget about Tobler's first law of geography.

    Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things

    Cultural patterns will generally follow migration of people, which will largely be localized, but of course there are exceptions in which case you can get some interesting blends.

  • And when it all crumbles within the first year, what will happen to the billions of dollars charged for admission?

  • Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?

    Jump

  • At least in the Americas, you don't buy avocado for sweetness. It's basically a replacement for fat (with fats of its own). Think turkey bacon avocado, for example: turkey is a leaner meat, avocado supplements that, and bacon adds flavor and saltiness.

    If you must get something sweet out of it, I've had good luck mixing it with a sprinkle of sugar, a splash of lime juice, and a little hot sauce if you want to be frisky.

  • Trump tells CNN Cuba is soon going to fall: ‘We’re really focused on this one right now’ | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • I think the word "that" (as in, "tells CNN that Cuba...") would be more effective/correct than any kind of punctuation, but headlines have weird grammatical rules behind them so that may not be "allowed"

    Jump

  • Ugh, I need coffee. I read "CNN Cuba" as a Cuban division of CNN, and wondered how that could possibly be.

  • Lenovo's latest rugged tablet does what most Android tablets won't: Removable battery

    Jump

  • I mean, to be fair to the headline, it does say most [unqualified] Android tablets, not all tablets or just rugged tablets. Maybe a tiny bit misleading but not outright false either.

  • KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree

  • I later realized I forgot to give a link... Glad you understood the assignment!

  • KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree

    Jump

  • This song is awesome on its own, but if you're going to bring it up and link a video, you REALLY need to see the live version. The way she basically becomes her own band with a loop pedal (?) is so underrated it's criminal.

  • TIL You can leagally drop your baby off at the fire station in all 50 states

    Jump

  • That's a good point that they exist, but a better way to quantify their prevalence is probably by population served. Even if the majority of fire departments are like that (if...) they would be in the most rural areas with little population. I would think most people live in areas densely populated enough to have an always-staffed fire station.

  • I feel like if we know about this, they would too. Or at least a supervisor.

  • What Was the Golden Era of Video Games?

    Jump

  • I am honestly pleasantly surprised at everything the industry came up with in that generation, in hindsight. Maybe those kinds of games were a little overrepresented, but you still had Super Mario 64, Pilot wings, Tony Hawk Pro Skater, Smash Bros (not fully 3D but that may be a good thing from a game play aspect), two Zelda masterpieces, Mario Party, some solid wrestling games, and a few Final Fantasy games (I never played them but I don't think they're shooters and definitely not racing games)

    There were some flopped consoles just prior to the N64/PS1 like the Saturn and Atari Jaguar that probably helped the industry figure out what doesn't work well in 3D gaming. Maybe they still had some stuff to figure out, but that was a pretty good era IMO.
