  • the flavors is not deep enough

    Firm tofu does a better job of absorbing flavours than the soft kind. The easiest thing you can do is to drop it into a soup with nicely flavoured broth.

    When you have something like miso soup where they use soft tofu, they usually cut it very small so the flavour doesn't need to penetrate.

  • Can't find a decent math sub so asking here. If we killed all bad billionaires or all the 1%. How much would America clear it's debt or how much could be given to taxpayers?

  • "Imaginary" is one way to put it.

    I like to think of it as a number reflecting how much of our labour they have reserved for themselves. When that wealth "disappears", it basically means that we get that labour back for ourselves. So in a way, it actually gets split evenly amongst all of us.

  • How do we know theres 12 months in year and 365 days in a year?

    Jump

  • I'll just make a guess until someone more knowledgeable comes along.

    To my understanding, we have the summer and winter solstices as reference points of interest. We can look at the length of shadows cast at noon to determine where you are along this cycle. When you reach the shortest length, it's the summer solstice. When you reach the longest length, that's the winter solstice. Count the number of days between these reference points and you have the approximate number of days in a year.

    Months are arbitrary though. Someone said so, then it stuck.

  • I appreciate the sources for the numbers, but was it really necessary to provide a screenshot of a calculator to convince us that 9.6mil x 40 = 384mil?

  • It all makes sense

  • That should be accomplished through education. Then leave them money so they have the power to change things.

  • It all makes sense

    Jump

  • We live in a capitalist society where you need to have money to make money. The less they start with, the less they'll be able to make in expectation over their lifetime. Denying them an inheritance is basically saying that they should stay at the bottom of the totem pole.

  • Except for that one time I actually needed a key made. Went to a place with blanks displayed on the wall and they told me they didn't make them anymore because they didn't have anyone who knew how to use the machine.

  • To make the difference you'd have to peddle thousands or hundreds of thousands of individualized discounts

    That's what they do here in Canada.

  • Canadian VPS / Web Servers / File Storage

    Jump

  • Am I understanding their "Unlimited Expanding Storage" plan correctly? Storage capacity just increases daily at no cost increase? This sounds like a pretty good solution for off-site backups.

  • New e-Petition E-7387: e-7387 (Democratic process)

    Jump

  • The main post body should also include the change they're actually proposing:

    We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to:

    1. Protect taxpayers from fiscal risks and uphold all Treaty, Aboriginal, and Charter mobility rights;
    2. Affirm that the Crown’s duty to consult and accommodate Indigenous peoples is triggered by the commencement of any referendum process, including the approval and certification of initiative petitions; and
    3. Mandate that any referendum process be transparent and respect the high constitutional bar required for any change to Confederation.

  • What's old is new again.

    Jump

  • There's so much more to it than motivation. If you mess up a meal, that's money down the drain, and most people (especially those who really should be cooking more often) lack the money to take this kind of risk too often. And when you mess up, how do you know what you did wrong? Was it because I chose the wrong onion? Did I cook it for too long? Not long enough? Did I measure something wrong? Did one of my ingredients go bad? Is it because I bought low quality ingredients? Is there a problem with the minerals dissolved in my tap water? There are way too many possibilities to realistically go through them all by trial and error.

    If I were to teach someone how to cook, we'd start with something very basic with very few ingredients, then explore variations where you change one variable at a time to understand how it affects the end results. It wouldn't be through recipes.

  • I like trying new things. I find it very strange.

  • Virginia court declines to block Democrats from using new voter-approved congressional map - Democracy Docket

    Jump

  • These kinds of small wording differences are one of the most common ways for news outlets to intentionally spread misinformation. If you already know what the current laws are, you'll know what actually happened. Otherwise, "declines to block" tells you that there exists pressure to prevent something that is currently allowed. "Allows" tells you that it wasn't previously allowed without their approval and they granted that approval.

    It could either allow or disallow [...]. There isn't an in-between.

    So in summary, there are exactly four "in-between"s.

    • It was previously allowed, and it is still allowed
    • It was previously allowed, and it is now not allowed
    • It was previously not allowed, and it is now allowed
    • It was previously not allowed, and it still not allowed

    Which would map to each of the following respectively

    • "declines to block"
    • "blocks"
    • "allows"
    • "declines to allow"

    What you're saying is that it should map to

    • "allows"
    • "blocks"
    • "allows"
    • "blocks"

    Which, besides being inconsistent with how those words are used in every day English, also reduces how much information you receive.

    vs

    "Local man declines to block wife from eating dinner."

    The meaning is very different.
