  • After you boil it, put it in some cool water. This helps the white pull away from the shell a little bit, I think. I use a plain kitchen knife to crack the egg and then slide the end of the knife between the shell and the cooked white. There’s a kind of a film layer in between too. Usually, this helps the shell stick together as you peel it off.

    You want to break off pieces at a time, don’t go for the whole thing all at once. Work your way around the egg slowly, breaking off chunks of the shell as you go. Once you’re about halfway done, you can usually hold the egg over a bowl or plate or something and then work the tip of the knife around the rest of the shell, letting the egg fall out onto whatever is below it.

    It takes a little practice but you should get it after a few eggs. Hard boiled eggs are easier. Soft boiled eggs aren’t too bad but you have to be careful that you don’t dig too deeply because you’ll break the yolk and it all runs out.







  • I made this list by looking at the games currently on my phone and then going through my full history on the Google Play store. I’ve run Android since I first got a smartphone and it’s been mostly a game machine since then. I use a firewall to block internet traffic for most apps unless I want them to have internet. That cuts way down on ads. I’m currently using NetGuard. The list below is all the games that I both remember playing and remembered enjoying. Some of them may cost money and I got them when they were temporarily free and some of them might not be available anymore. If I have typos or if you can’t find one, let me know and I can get the actual link from my app history.

  • That feels like a different but related topic.

    “I don’t hate this ethnic group, just the religion with which they are strongly associated.”

    and

    “You can’t hate that country, that’s the same as hating this ethnic group with which it is strongly associated.”

    sure do feel like the same idea. Hypocrisy is one of the most difficult beasts to slay within yourself. It doesn’t seem like racists are really worried about that, though. To start from a foundation of thinking one ethnic group is superior to another, you have to be comfortable accepting arguments from emotion. There’s no way to logic someone - even yourself - out of a position that they didn’t arrive at by logic in the first place.



  • I’m not Republican but I can - technically - explain it without racism. The word Muslim can mean adherents of Islam and it can also mean a specific ethnic group from what used to be Yugoslavia. Being anti-Islam would make you anti-Muslim (the religion) but not anti-Muslim (the ethnic group) although most ethnic Muslims are also religious Muslims.

    The attack on the world trade center was carried out by an extremist Islamic group. If you subscribe to a broad scope of hate, then you would blame all Muslims (religion) for the attack. Zohran Mamdani is Muslim (religion) but not Muslim (ethnicity). If you hate him because of his religion, that by itself is not racism.

    I would except that a Venn diagram of people who hate Mamdani because of his religion and people who hate him for racist reasons is virtually a circle, but there is room for a non-racist explanation of this propaganda.
