I read it in the sense that they were hurting for plasma donations in particular, and that because they can store it for longer, a single donation has more potential impact, not that they only took plasma donations.

Where did he say this?

Ah, yeah, that’s probably it. I eat patna rice pretty much exclusively, and multiple times a week lol. Some rice types (especially whole-grain, brown or wild rice varieties) have different water ratios and indeed kind of defeats the whole set-and-forget thing.

Key word “that much more”. It is therefore indeed “more” work, and it’s my, and many other people’s, reason for getting one. I also suppose many discussions we’ve both had in our comment history were also had by other people lol

Yeah but then you have to watch it and think about it versus I press a button and it comes out perfect every time lol

Man, I dip it in ketchup like a literal toddler.

An app “talks” to server through some interface (what they call an API). If the interface is known, another app can use the same interface. Telegram goes as far as providing code that interfaces with their protocol and full API documentation to explain how to use it. The base app is open source too, so developers can even peek at how the official app does it for inspiration.

It was self-fulfilling for me. I started self-hosting and messing with networking before I went into IT. I thought I’d be in a very different field until ~10 years ago.

The newest Teams app (and I think newest Outlook amongst others) is using system/Edge provided WebViews rather than Electron, which I guess takes care of the “each app gets its own Chrome instance” part of the Electron bloat. It’s so far running better than old Teams for me. On my old work laptop, the fans spun up the second the old Teams client launched lol

they’re not heavy enough to sweat in

This sounds like a challenge my body would lose. I just sweat all the time, regardless of the temperature or level of physical activity.

Je suis en Montérégie, c’est très plat dans mon coin, donc non, heureusement. Mais l’eau s’est accumulée un peu partout dans le coin pareil, à des endroits où j’en avais jamais vu…

Ma langue maternelle est le français. Je suis né et vis au Québec, d’une famille canadienne française assez typique. Mes habiletés d’écriture sont plutôt fortes à en croire mes notes à l’école, mais je les pratique très peu. Je ne le parle pas aussi bien que je l’écris…

Otherwise I’m pretty proficient in English. I’d say I’m more or less bilingual at this point. I cannot seem to enjoy fiction books nearly as much in the language though. I can’t really appreciate the differences in style well enough, I think.
