It will make the air behind your fridge warmer in exchange for making the air around your body cooler. There’s usually not great airflow behind the fridge so it won’t affect the rest of your house much.

If you’ve got an open kitchen or something you can still freeze the bottles at night and use them during the day.

There aren’t any meetings that are part of Agile. The point of Agile is that you’re supposed to let teams self-organize and define their own process through iteration but managers hate that so they issue a top-down mandate to implement the Scrum process without allowing anyone outside of management to change it in any way and call it “Agile”.

Disagree, without IP laws whoever has the most money can crush all competition. An example of this is how the first pump hand soap softsoap couldn’t patent the hand pump design because it already existed so they just bought all the existing stock to prevent anyone from releasing a competing product.

If you get rid of IP laws you’ll just further entrench the existing winners.

Write a good book? Without copyright, Penguin random house publishes an exact copy at a higher quality and sells a million copies while you sell a handful to discerning fans.

Build a quality product? Without trademark, proctor and gamble flood the market using your brand name and nobody can distinguish their products from yours even though their quality is much worse.

Invent something revolutionary? Without patents you have to keep your process a secret so you don’t get copied. If you get hit by a bus your invention is now lost to society forever unless someone manages to reverse-engineee it.

Not before abolishing capitalism or you’re just making things worse.

I always wonder how many people don’t realize that olives aren’t supposed to taste like a tin can and have the texture of wet cardboard.

A feature that is consistently misused is a useless feature. Either get used to them being used to express disagreement or admit that they’re a failure and stop trying to make them work.

You just opened a can of worms

Sourdough starters really only need a ton of babying when they’re new. Like the other commenters said, it’s just giving it warm water and flour, people recommend different ratios for optimal vitality but an established starter won’t die because you went from 60/40 flour to 50/50 or whatever. You’ve got some good responses here but also check out !sourdough@lemmy.world for more tips and pictures of delicious bread.

I keep mine in the fridge and feed it once a week. I find it’s a good balance of maintenance to usability.

As much as I love Orphan Black, I’m glad it ended when it did because the writing was beginning to go downhill in the last couple seasons. In fairness there’s only so many times you can start a season by revealing yet another secret faction within the shadowy human cloning organization before you lose all credibility.

A lot of projects don’t use it or forget to update it for multiple versions so you probably aren’t missing much.

Tablets are cheaper and lighter than laptops so if someone just wants to watch videos while traveling or commuting, a tablet is often a better option than a laptop.
