  • The least believable part of this image is that all those little dogs sit down and shut up long enough to take this picture (I am ignoring the usual body horror like the blended body parts, as well as the fire hazard that’s meant to be an oven in the back because people do dumber shit than that all the time). In real life at least half of them would be blurry balls of accelerating fur.

    Like firing clay in a kiln, and for the same reason. “Canine” is actually a bastardisation of the 14th century term “Claynine”, because their bones were believed to be made of clay. Of course we now know this is not true - dog bones are made of a substance that merely resembles clay in many ways, but has a unique molecular structure making it semi-permeable to the red blood cells produced by the marrow. This clay-like substance can indeed be hardened by exposure to extreme heat, which is why it is not recommended to leave your dog in a hot car unless you want an invulnerable dog.







  • I really enjoyed learning to homebrew, and my family and friends really enjoyed drinking the mead I’ve made. You can homebrew all sorts of stuff, too - beer and wine of course, but also kombucha and ginger ale (edit: and cider! Thanks /u/cyberpunk007). I’m looking at professional kit for my next batch which is going to be a few hundred dollars at least of steel, but my first fermentation tubs were something like $35.

    My only up-front recommendation would be to get a conical fermenter as it minimises loss when racking/bottling.




  • Man, most bands start as a group of friends playing together for fun. Yes, sucking isn’t fun - the fun comes from surmounting those obstacles and seeing yourself improve. I sucked at Dark Souls when I first picked it up, but I wanted to be good, so I sat down and practiced parrying against basic enemies until I could get it consistently. I suck at guitar too, it hurts my fingers and makes my hands cramp and it wasn’t worth it to me to push through that to get good.

    You know what I did about it? I sold my guitar on craigslist and moved on. I didn’t go on the internet and whine about it, nor did I get impudent with people who took the time to offer me advice - really rather good advice, in this thread. Your attitude sucks. Adjust that, and then either sit down and practice or find a new hobby. Nobody gives a shit that being bad makes you sad.





  • What? No. That depends on the site in question. If you have 2FA, the site should not let you reset your password without that 2FA - it’s one of the major points of even having 2FA. If a website lets you reset your password without the multifactor auth you set up, they’re doing it wrong.

    Edit: to be clear, we’re talking about having your multifactor auth in the same vault as you keep your passwords. That’s fine to do as long as your vault doesn’t get breached. If you do get breached, having your TOTP secrets in a different vault will help keep at least some of your accounts safe.
