He says that having the ability to tailor the amount of powder for the size of the load is one of the selling points of powder. But I'm guessing most people would much rather waste the few cents of savings in exchange for not needing to think about their dishes even that tiny bit extra.

We're earthlings. Let's blow up earth things

Totally agree. Kim's vocals are usually way more interesting

I enjoy Sonic Youth a fair bit, but in the majority of cases find Thurston Moore completely uncompelling as a singer.

Glyphosate is great for killing the invasive Tree of Heaven which is rampant in my area. Really the only time I've needed to use it personally

I'm not trying to be harsh, but it genuinely sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about

It really is jarring that this is about the actual justification for a war, and his response basically boils down to "well we don't know they haven't done it or if they might in the future".

Bit of a Pyrrhic victory isn't it?

Funnily enough I've had a very similar bug occur in an entirely separate redis library. It was a pretty troubling failure mode to suddenly start getting back unrelated data

I do a similar thing, except for making gifs:

    if [ -z $3 ] 
    then
        echo "usage: $0 file start_seconds duration [scale=600] [fps=15] [crop]"
        exit 1
    fi

    if [ -z $4 ]
    then
        SCALE=600
    else
        # w=iw/2:h=ih/2 half size
        SCALE="$4"
    fi

    if [ -z $5 ]
    then
        FPS=15
    else
        FPS=$5
    fi

    if [ -z $6 ]
    then 
        CROP="crop=iw:ih:0:0,"
    else
        # CROP="600:ih:250:0" full height
        CROP="setsar=1,crop=${6},"
    fi

    rm "${1}.gif" &> /dev/null

    ffmpeg -ss $2 -t $3 -i "$1" -vf  ${CROP}fps=${FPS},scale=${SCALE}:-1:flags=lanczos,palettegen palette.png -loglevel error
    ffmpeg -ss $2 -t $3 -i "$1" -i palette.png -filter_complex "${CROP}fps=${FPS},scale=${SCALE}:-1:flags=lanczos[x];[x][1:v]paletteuse" "${1}.gif" -loglevel error

Ohhhh that's lovely

You sold me! Starting it now

Yep this is how we've been doing it at my house too, and results are great.

For your first claim, I wish people would stop talking about feminism in this way precisely because it is such a generally accepted stance. The better question is in what ways does one believe men and women aren't structurally equal?
