It’s like cooking a steak :) you want to brown the surface but not dry out the inside

It will have been systemd-oomd

Well, if you put it in for 1s at 450, will it come out black? Course not, it takes a little time. So there’s a time that’ll cook the surface perfectly. Turns out that, since pizza is very thin, a couple of minutes at 450 is perfect.

People hack ovens to let them use this mode to cook pizzas

No, I have no control over the direction of my thoughts. It’s actually debilitating.

No, I just thought about it for a bit.

No, that will not work.

Could it just be… guys being dudes?

This kind of thinking usually comes from English native speakers, where compounding words isn’t really a thing

Oh but we can! We have footballs, handbags and smartphones. But also, is there really a grammatical difference between a charging cable and a Ladekabel? A brake pedal and a Bremspedal? Gold medal and Goldmedaille? In all cases both languages just jam the components together without applying any special grammatical constructions. The only difference is that, in written English, new constructions must be written with a space in between. But in spoken English you can’t hear spaces (by that I mean: there is no auditory gap between words that is different from the gaps between syllables within a word)

This is the same thing with the indigenous peoples of the north having a lot of words for snow. They combine multiple concepts into one word, to describe the kinds of snow.

With Inuit languages, it’s more than this. They form “words” written without spaces that in European languages would be entire sentences!

Inuit is an agglutinating language, so forms “words” which express entire sentences.

The lesson to learn from this is that the concept of “a word” is not necessarily comparable between two different languages and is a bit arbitrary.

Hey that’s not fair. If you say “Capitalism” you can also get plenty of attention!

I counter with manual breathing!

I’ve found that, while you can’t convince a crackpot of anything, you can study them like a scientific specimen and it can be quite interesting

It’s rare but it’s there, and when you genuinely find someone who will take your points and offer their perspective in return it can be a glorious thing.

chonggg…tk

That helps. I think you misunderstood - what I was trying to say was something quite similar: the person I replied to (who I think wasn’t you) was talking about access to family planning, and I was saying this has been available in developed countries for a long time. So although it did lead to a decrease in birth rate decades ago, it’s only recently that we see sub-replacement rates, so that latter effect specifically is likely not to do with access to family planning.

Hope that also helps, haha!

I don’t understand this, sorry

Men and women in developed countries have had multiple ways to avoid pregnancy for decades, but it’s only recently that birth rates have fallen below replacement in most of those countries. So there’s something missing from your story, at least.

Hah!

Why not yy11p eh!
