Ah but they’re not potatoes there… They’re ground apples (that’s the translation in case you’ve no French). Doesn’t count. Big pharma got in on the naming after a campaign by doctors who didn’t like them.

Talk to the English… They were very fond of taking potatoes for taxes in the 1800s (historically accurate truth is that the Irish grew other crops to pay the taxes and used potatoes for their own subsistence but it was an obvious dig that I had to get in for the giggles).
Is there anything a potato can’t do? 😍

3·6 days agoI’m not sure why you’re being down voted. My left hand basically never leaves the home keys in a keyboard / mouse setup and I use various left hand + mouse combos to achieve all these things.
I fucking hate touchpads and if I do use a laptop undocked I’ll generally disable the touchpad when the mouse is plugged in.
They’re useful tricks if there’s no mouse available of course. To each their own I suppose.

There’s a tribe in Namibia that has no distinction between green and blue.
Studies on the Himba of Namibia illustrate this phenomenon: their language does not distinguish blue from green in the way Western languages do. Yet, they perceive subtle variations of green that most Westerners struggle to differentiate. This variability in perception suggests that language acts as a filter, shaping what we are capable of seeing.

I’M NOT SOFT! I just find that very specific kind of violence difficult to watch.

I’m semi intrigued by this. How is it? And what kind of volume does it turn out?
I’ve actually become boss at making popcorn on the stove though. I watch a lot of movies.
If you haven’t come across it yet, Flavacol is amazing for getting that cinema popcorn buzz.

At least on the Google keyboard it moves the cursor in the swipe direction. Very useful if you need to correct anything.
