Raw tomato is has the slight crunchy sensation and fresh mouthfeel of many raw fruits/veggies, and the flavours are mostly acidic, sweet and unami. I don't know what else might set off your sensitivity issues, but I think some options might be pickles, or fresh cucumber slices dressed with nice vinegar. Or use a combination, like iceberg lettuce for crunch and some relish or chutney for flavour.

I think I've seen Gideon bibles in UK and Australian hotel rooms. They're just there in the drawer, in case you want to read it. Not very in your face. Bit like the iron or the hairdryer.

Maybe you could find an old coin electric meter, wire that up to your stove/ oven loop, and then just put in the right amount of money for the cooking time you want.

Bully for you.

I was reacting to a comment where I interpreted that the person felt constrained by their adhd to not own very many items of outerwear.

I wasn't trying to give universal fashion advice.

Keeping it simple is a valid strategy, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Also more sustainable.

I dunno, I think the culture wars have done a special thing where people who were part of the same subculture years ago, or musicians i liked or whatever, but would never really have thought about their politics much, now you can find yourselves on opposite sides of the great dividing line.

OP, for context:

Are you brave or are you a coward?

Do you get pushed around or are you willing to defend those getting pushed if you know it's wrong?

I ask because so many people are soft but not gentle. They demand peace but aren't peaceful. I find them weak. So I want to know. Be honest.

UPDATE: I find it utterly pathetic that people can't take real criticism. Like they are triggered over anything that needs to be said.

No, just literally there's only really room up there for like 5 or 6, then you always get that unmistakable feeling... Don't worry, you'll definitely recognise it when you get there, so you can safely just keep going until then.

Ferns were such a big deal in victorian Britain (and British culture/ empire), it was like their pokemon.

My first thought when they mentioned electron flow! Really it's all fields...

Can anyone help me identify this touch sensor module from a UK home bathroom light switch?

The IC is a QT113 charge transfer touch sensor, the only writing on the board is SAT 02.

I'd like to know enough about it to order replacements.

Maybe not 100% on topic, but I think there will be people in here who value repairing things and keeping them going longer.

I have a front loading washing machine (clothes) where the inner metal drum that spins is no longer sitting in the right position inside the larger plastic watertight container. It was still being driven to turn, but was rubbing at some point and so struggling to spin, and vibrations were bad. I don't know how things are connected inside there but I'm imagining a bearing or two inside has failed. I don't see any sign of other damage to other parts like the motor or the springs.

Is that likely to be something reasonably easy to repair myself? I'm happy enough disconnecting and reconnecting the electrical connections, but would you need any specialist tools for the seals or big springs? Or maybe the whole watertight part is a single piece and not designed to be repaired inside?

Thanks for any advice or info. If i haven't described it well enough please ask questions...

Cheers!

 

What would be the acceptability of this in your workplace? For context, which country and industry are you in?

I guess I'm mainly thinking about professional jobs, but interested to hear from. I think in France it would be quite common to have a glass of wine, even at a work canteen or so. But in the UK it seems like people would think that was a problem, and in a lot of cases you'd be in violation of something at work.

My use case: I'm an engineering student, I need something with a lot of storage, hopefully SSD (right not I have MatLab, Anaconda and KiCAD taking up most of my 128 GB HD, and I had to uninstall the STM32 cube IDE from lack of storage), and reasonable processing performance so I can actually run these things at a reasonable rate. I need to stay within the windows/ms office world to simplify collaborating and file sharing etc. I'm not using it for gaming. Don't need a massive screen, or touchscreen or anything fancy. HDMI port would be reasonably important.

I want it to last me at least the next 4-5 years, and I'm hoping to not spend more than about £300.

I know a lot of people reccomend ThinkPads, what's a good model to get cheap at the moment? Or any other suggestions?

Is Windows 11 so bad that I should only be looking at ones that come with Windows 10 installed?

Thanks for any helpful advice!

Edit: Thanks to everyone for taking the time to advise me, I've ordered a refurbished T480 with 1TB ssd, plenty of ram, and a 1 year warranty for £340.

 

I've been doing secret Santa with my family the last few years, but the webapps we use are always so annoying to use. You get an email every time your giftee updates their list or answers a question, but you need to sign in to the ad-riddled platform to see what is going on. You can make a wishlist, but only through links to Amazon.

Isn't there a better way?
