People who don’t think questions on nostupidquestions should be criticized for being stupid.

We don’t know how rational or irrational this is. Kitchen fires do happen. If you don’t know how to prevent or handle them, then it’s a very rational fear to have.

Having kids will do that to you

Without a lid, you lose more water and heat, so it’ll take longer and cost more energy to get the soup to temperature and maintain that temperature, as well as to heat up the extra water that replaces whatever has evaporated. But it’s perfectly doable.

Some stores sell these one-size-fits-all lids that are basically like an inverted dome. Also sometimes sold as “universal pot lid”. A poorly fitted lid is better than no lid in my opinion. You’ll probably save on the energy costs with just a few uses.

Sometimes, hobby becomes job and stops being hobby :c

It becomes a cringe adult phase when you get older.

They didn’t actually ban cars. Only reduced traffic to certain areas.

Same. I still don’t know the social script in these scenarios. Do I individually thank everyone for their birthday wishes? Do I thank everyone with one message after it seems like everyone’s done? How long do I wait? What if someone jumps in after I do that with a belated happy birthday?

I went the friend-to-romantic-partner route, so it was pretty much just like hanging out with any other friends.

I’d love to see a street view equivalent to this project.

The “all lives matter” equivalent here would be asking: what about people from the countries that didn’t participate in the war?

It could’ve been cooked before being cut.

Submarines work by manipulating their density, don’t they? Then they just float at whatever level matches their density.

I would be equally amazed to see something denser than water swimming.

Mom called. She wants to know when to expect grandkids.

I get the opposite problem. If I get things nearly perfect on the first try, I’ll just think to myself that I’ll never top that and give up. There’s something satisfying about seeing improvement. In the same vein, seeing results get worse is highly discouraging.

I’m not sure if “impressed” is the right word for what you’re trying to describe. I’m just going to address the first example to try and figure out what you mean.

Stuff that has big value is worth a lot of money. Thus money is based on people being impressed.

This sounds tautological. Is “big value” not synonymous with “worth lots of money”? I’m reading this as saying “Something that is worth a lot of money is worth a lot of money, and people are impressed by things that are worth a lot of money, so if people are impressed by something, it will be worth more money.”

Assuming everyone coordinates and works together to fight it. It’s much easier to kill someone who refuses to join than it is to protect them.

Isn’t that already how it works? Currently, US citizens still have to pay taxes when living outside the country unless they’re paying taxes to a specific set of other countries. Although consequences are on the individual who fails to pay and not their country of residence.

I train primarily for powerlifting, secondarily for hypertrophy. At a high level, that means my workouts are organized such that each day focuses on one of the three main powerlifts (squat, bench, deadlift), plus accessory exercises to address weak points.

You might enjoy something similar if

• You like seeing numbers go up or big numbers in general
• Don’t like being sore after workouts
• Enjoy simple workouts

Do you know any exercises that are rare? Or ones that seem special to your locality?

That’s kind of an odd question. I’m not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for. People choose exercises based on goal, the available equipment, and ability to perform the exercise. So I’ve never seen anyone do a belt squat in person because I’ve never been to a gym with belt squat equipment. I don’t see many people do front levers because few are able to do them.

How do you meet your protein or calorie goals? How do you track it? Especially food that is local to your place.

If you have a particular problem with meeting your macronutrient goals, then that might be a more concrete question to pose. I feel like this is a bit too individual to give you anything useful. Tracking, I do with Macrofactor. It’s a paid app.
