Apparently:

An eggshell is mostly calcium carbonate, riddled with microscopic pores, and lined with a thin protein membrane. In hot liquid, that membrane behaves like a natural flocculant, encouraging the tiny proteins and vegetable fines that cloud your stock to tangle together. The shell’s rough surface provides places for these particles to gather, and once aggregated, gravity does the rest. You don’t need much. For 1 litre of broth, the shells from one or two eggs can be enough to coax clarity.

Based on how that page loaded on my phone, I recommend reader mode if using Firefox.

This is why I have doubts about Macklemore's business acumen:

I went to the moped store, said "Fuck it"

And salesman's like "What up, what's your budget?"

And I'm like "Honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds"

(Macklemore - Downtown)

I suppose at least he doesn't immediately answer about the budget, but it still seems like a less than stellar negotiating technique.

Just FYI, the photic reflex is not universal.

Sure glad I have it though!

I like the PlayStation stylized screw much more.

Personally it kinda reminds me of that tool they use to open toilet paper containers in some public restroom stalls.

Fair enough; but there is a sequel to this game and I suspect others of its like exist.

I'm not familiar with the homeless lady referenced.

I used to have a three monitor setup ... One curved ultrawide 37" (I think) and two 24" (one on either side of the big one). The system was purely a personal setup - no professional use, though I did sometimes do maintenance on my servers from it. My setup was whatever media I was watching on the leftmost monitor, whatever game I was playing on the center, and any chat related windows (or other windows that might require supervision) on the right. I think. It's been years since I had that setup - I might have reversed what the outer two did.

When I moved to my current home (3-4 years ago) I only bothered setting up the middle monitor, as I had no idea where the stands for the outer two were and didn't want to bother mounting them. (Still haven't.)

I don't game on my PC much anymore. For what little desktop stuff I do it's satisfactory. However, you may have gleaned from the above that I tend not to do one thing at a time. As such, now that I only have one monitor, I primarily play games in windowed mode unless I'm playing with a friend online. The windowed game goes on approximately the right half of the monitor, whatever I'm watching goes top left, chat windows mostly go bottom left (with some exceptions).

The only time I miss a multi monitor setup is when playing some games - mostly early access - that have their own ideas about the window mode. I've encountered a few that will respect my settings regarding resolution and mode, but insist on being dead center of the screen; some that didn't even have a mode other than full screen; and some which would go windowed but only use the full resolution of the monitor, thus rendering the setting pointless for my use case.

Anyway, that's pretty niche, I guess. If you don't have a similar need one huge monitor is probably fine.

I sort of did that once accidentally. I was six or seven and riding the school bus when a sports car blasted past. I thought the car was cool and so that it would be funny if someone were to lean out into the aisle and shout "follow that car!"

Then I realized I was already doing that rather than just picturing it in my head. I don't know if "funny" is the right word but certainly there was a lot of laughter, especially by those who could see my realization face.

That would be impressive.

The title of this post, at least, reminds me of Messiah.

Peacemaker was pretty fun. I had basically no familiarity with Cena other than the meme and the Make a Wish status. His acting was sufficiently entertaining to convince me to continue the show.

I don't think you're weird. At least not for that reason.

Fun fact: I searched DDG for "brown ring of quality" and it returned Lucent Technology. Do with that what you will.

I have that same keyboard.

Or had. My wife absconded with it.

To be fair, that is pretty hard to understand.

This was covered in an episode of Doctor Who also.

That's a different lemming.

Finally someone else acknowledges that this existed.
