Here in The Netherlands the pre-made meals are getting worse and worse. Due to the price wars by the grocery stores (maaaaany stores per capita) the producers won’t get much money for their product, so they are cutting corners. It’s an inflation thing. Either things get more expensive, packaging gets smaller for the same price or they take out pricy ingredients. Over here canned soup isn’t cheap, it lacks nutrition and a 2 portion can isn’t enough to fill 1 person’s stomach.
Lol I know what a microwave is. Not the ‘concept’ I was aiming for haha
I don’t even have a microwave. I understand the concept, however I prefer home made meals. I hate cooking, so I usually cook 3 or 4 nights in a row, cooking large meals which are 4 to 5 large portions. This way I have enough food in my freezer for 2 to 3 weeks, consisting of 3 to 4 different kinds of food so not every day the same. I always have something I can warm up when I’m ill or feel down. It’s basically the same as canned soup or instant meal, but home made so much tastier and healthier.
A bag of pre-cut veggies, pre-peeled potatoes, add some beans, bake 5min with some herbs and throw in a blender with some water. Throw the blended stuff in a pan, boil with some cream and add some pasta. Super tasty soup is ready in 10 to 12 min. Enough soup for 4 days. But I don’t mind cutting some veggies, they only need some rough cutting as they go into the blender anyway. Just use easy to cut veggies. Broccoli or cauliflower for example, or courgettes like I used yesterday. Soup for 4 to 5 days costs roughly 5 to 7 euros. Add a euro for home made bread made with a bread baking machine and you have a proper meal. Just throw some baking mix and water in it and 3h later you have fresh warm bread. Honestly, making your own soup in 12min for 4 days is roughly 6min more effort then canned soup. No added sugar, conservatives and too much salt. Much better taste. Especially when you add some blue cheese.
Fair enough
Ah. I don’t eat meat. I think that’s why my soups are so cheap to make. I mostly use beans to replace meat and beans are really cheap.
Who eats canned soup in the first place. Fresh ingredients is cheaper, healthier and tastier.
That’s why the US is so obese. I don’t eat junk food. I liked the nuggets when I still ate meat and smoked weed in high school. Even with the munchies I couldn’t even eat 10. And I live in The Netherlands so they are much less unhealthy (less fat, less sugar, better quality meat) then in the US.
I’m sad to say, this happened to me once, in 2011. No one got injured, I learned my lesson. I drove 140km/h on cruise control on the highway and hit the back of a 90km/h semi at 4am while heading to work.
I believe I speak for all of us Europeans when I say he can go fuck himself while sucking off Elon’s micropenis.
I have to confess, I disabled internet when installing windows to avoid all the booking[dot]com etc apps and ads. But I got ads on win11 and besides the MS apps ads I didn’t get anything else.
I’ve seen several reports stating win10 is faster. I’ve based my opinion on those reports.
Thank you for adding sources to your reply, I’ll look into it. For now I’m fucked up (drunk) because of the US elections as the outcome is either bad or extremity fucked up. And have a major influence for us Europeans as well.
In the end, MS is fucking up their OS big time, whether it’s 10 or 11. I feel forced to switch everything I have to Linux, although I do depend on some apps which do not support Linux sadly. Like Directory Opus. I had a hard time working with network drives on Linux, which makes a switch hard for me as I have a NAS for my main storage. But MS sure pushes me to switch.
Bogus. They are the same in that regard. Stability is mostly dependent on used hardware and drivers these days.
Ah, so all the tests must be wrong then. All the articles must be mistaken.
A few minor things around taskbar placement. Even though my personal preference is a vertical taskbar on the left screen edge, it’s less important than WSL2.
Just that? Then where are the old settings? The old configuration screen? It’s gone now in win11.
Win10 also has ads, MS added more ads through updates. My work desktop PC runs Win10, my work notebook runs Win11. I have the comparison on a daily basis.
I only had ads for win11 and office365 on win10. That’s it. Win11 has loads of ads.
Win10 runs faster and more stable then win11. Don’t get me started on all the limitations win11 introduced, next to all the ads and loss of control of settings.
Yeah, I’d like to have discussions with people who have factual based opinions and I don’t mind changing my opponion when they come with properly factual supported arguments. However, opinions based on feelings I do not understand and I do not feel like a discussion is even possible as I cannot argue against a feeling, no matter how factual my arguments are. It’s why I do not argue with religious people. They claim a monopoly in the truth. How unfactual their claim may be, there is no argument which they do not see as a personal attack.
So either someone is joking when saying a pile of shit is actually kinda nice, or they lost all connection to reality.
You’re joking right?!? 😂
I can continue for hours why win11 sucks donkey balls. Recent news from MS about their plans for win11 are also very troublesome. As well as the paid subscription for win10 for security updates. Like, wtf! I have 3 machines running win10, so I need to pay 90 a year? For real? Just so I won’t have to use the win11 aids.
Turning an OS to subscription based. World class assholes. The alternative is win11, which is even more shit while they are working hard to fuck that shitshow even more up. Yeah, Linux is the way to go.
Before you can look where? It turns out the damn tower doesn’t even have windows! You can see nothing but walls and your stupid boomer mom screaming you’re a disappointment!
(Last week I had this, just not in a windowless tower. Fucking boomers)
Look at the sun for a while and you won’t see anything ever anymore.
Often they add sugar too, as a preservative. Sugar in your soup. Noo thank youuu
