I got a three day suspension from school for doing this. I sent something mundane like “hello” to entire school. Few minutes later, the IT admin came running down, told me off and took my details.
Made the mistake of telling a couple friends what happened. Said friends thought it would be hilarious to send swear words to the entire school (I was not there).
They played dumb saying they didn’t know what would happen and got off with one day each, I got suspended for three days.
I wouldn’t have minded so much except the next day was an inter-school chess tournament. Thankfully the sympathetic chess coach told me to wait behind the school the next morning and picked me up in the school bus.
The estimating is often enough to make better choices.
I know I’m not going to be able to eat my main, a couple slices of pizza, one or two entrees and a dessert with only 800 calories left in my budget.
Sure, I might be somewhat off in my estimate, but in practice, I might forgo the entrees and dessert (or share a bite from someone else), set some of my main aside to take home, and have a slice of pizza.
As someone who really enjoys working with CSS, but also working with colleagues who struggle with it, I strongly recommend Kevin Powell’s YouTube channel.
He has touched on exact feature a few times, here’s a video he uploaded a week ago that shows one useful feature that registered properties enables: https://youtu.be/U8NykwZNbGs
Our first computer was an MS-Dos machine that our local high school were getting rid of back in 1994. I learned a lot from playing around on the machine, trying to understand the command line.
While I do use timers occasionally (mainly when baking or pressure cooking), I’m surprised to learn that people will set multiple timers just to caramelise onions.
I find that for most cooking tasks, sight and sound are more reliable indicators, and in many cases, the food will need to be stir or flipped so as not to burn.
Caramelizing—truly caramelizing[0]—onions is a slow process that takes close to an hour. For this kind of task, I think it’s helpful to be able to set timers and be in and out of the kitchen, rather than be stationed at the stovetop continuously.
This is semantics but I thought I'd chime in anyway. I don't think they were setting multiple timers, they were setting one timer multiple times, i.e. adjusting a single timer after doing said checks.
The gist I got from this poster is there is a lot going on in their kitchen at one time. They may have simplified the post to make a point? But they implied they are not just focusing on the onion during that time, but doing a whole lot of other prep and cooling work all at the same time.
Overnight oats / bircher muesli is served cold and requires no cooking. The time aspect is to give the oats time to absorb the liquid - cold oats swimming in freshly poured milk isn't the most appetising way to eat oats.
Of course you can "speed up" the process by blending them into a smoothie.
