Nothing. It's a meme from 1999 prior to the American presidential election in 2020.

Bernie Sanders used the Scandinavian countries as reference for his progressive social-democratic politics. Fox News attacked it by comparing it to Venezuela. The Clickhole website by the Onion ran the pictured satirical article to highlight the absurdity of the Fox News claims.

"Ding ding ding!" When someone agrees with something you wrote, but wants to make sure that you know that they already knew and claim ownership of the statement that you wrote. Condesending asshole. I did not arrive at your opinion late.

"Meanwhile" in cooking recipes. Just no. I am following a recipe in stepwise order. You do not get to tell me what I should have already done in the previous step.

Fuck that, but also notice "Ukraine is not Ukraine anymore". This is a dangerous part of propaganda.

People will rage against the headline and who knows if he will eventually back track on that, but he already sold the underlying message without any serious risk of backlash.

It's scrambled eggs in a bag.

They're used in hotel restaurants, canteens, cafeteries etc. for making a uniform product when serving many people in a buffet.

It's alright, I guess. Eggs are great for this kind of product.

It would be nice to save the plastic bag and just make actual scrambled eggs, which is about as difficult as opening the bag anyway. However in kitchens like in hotels where the staff is new every month, it's an easy way to keep that dish from fucking up.

I was once at a 4 star hotel where a chef would cook each dish of scrambled eggs individually for each guest from a selection of additional ingredients and spices. Sure it was a luxury experience, but I could as well have eaten the bagged eggs and added some stuff myself if I actually needed mushrooms and peppers etc.

It's unlikely to have ever happened.

2^42 is 25 times the total number of people ever born in all of history.

If those were the terms you signed, those are the terms that matter.

I think you've heard that trivia wrong. NASA uses 15 decimals of pi. The curiosity is that they don't need to use more decimals even if many more are known.

I can't think of any good reason to use 10 instead. The consequence would be if the galaxy is 157 trillion miles or 500 trillion miles away. That's alot of space to disregard for no good reason.

That is the answer.

Some boards will prompt you to press the key to enter the BIOS as the only option when the CMOS battery is flat. Whether or not you set the clock, you still have to enter the bios to boot.

The battery is a standard CR2032, so it's easy to replace, but it's not something that most people experience, so it's not common knowledge.

Personally I went about 6 months doing the same thing before I even bothered googling "how much does a CMOS battery cost" because it was an old pc anyway.
