Such a great example of 'reality is what you're conscious of', I feel! 'Just throw the lure in and wait' could for another person be 'arrive at a beautiful waterside location, ritually prepare your tackle, cast it into the water (a skill that can be a minigame in itself, with all the associated space for practice, improvement, and intermittent positive reinforcement), then enjoy the wonders of being still in nature, but also focus on your task and be ready to react instantly.' It takes all sorts.

It's possible, but it can really change the type of games available to you too. I used to love Skyrim and similar, but eventually found I needed a minimum session of 2-3 hrs, otherwise I hadn't even done any real playing, just inventory management, or getting crafting supplies. These days, with kids and work, I like rally simulator games, it can be satisfying to just do one or two stages, which can take as little as 5-20 mins. But it's a whole different thing, no story, character development, surprises...a bit like going from watching Kurosawa films to watching the sports highlights.

I can't remember the details, and too lazy to search it up right now, but I think it was like Greta and him were having a Twitter argument, and he maybe posted a photo with a background that accidentally disclosed his location, so authorities who were already looking to arrest him were able to act on it.

2 units (in this case houses) down and 2 across (a perhaps intentional misinterpretation of the original slightly ambiguous statement). Reasonable to assume down and across are perpendicular directions. Let's pretend space-time is Euclidean. How far away is the listener from the sneeze? Pythagoras, our faithful companion, guides our understanding...√(2²+2²)=√8=2√2

Agree delicious, but hardly low-key. Making home made kimchi is a fair amount of effort.

I think that's when the oil in them starts to oxidise (which happens very quickly with the 'unroasted' kind). Kind of fishy smell? Keeping them sealed up airtight should help a bit...

I think when you read that article it's important to think critically about how it's composed. I am as anti-trump as the next European "centrist dad", but nothing I read there made me think he went out of his way to tell that story unprompted. I imagine he was interviewed, said a bunch of stuff, and then someone cherry-picked the quotes they needed to support the narrative of the article... You can't just take it at face value!?

In the UK I think there's a scheme where you register your bike and engrave a serial number on the frame somewhere, so if it turns up stolen it's easier to prove/legitimate sellers won't buy it off thieves. Don't know how well it works personally.

Perhaps instead of clients using two different security systems, Crowd strike and similar companies could have two or more completely independent teams sending out separate versions of their hourly updates. That way when something like this happens it would likely not bring down all of a client's systems, and help resilience? It could be made into a requirement for providing security software to critical/strategic industries like healthcare, power transmission/distribution, defense, etc.

The local pharmacist in my parent's village died from accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms ☹️

? isn't scoring highly on the inattentive section consistent with having 'some ADHD'?
