Not just air-tight, lighter-than-air-tight. I'm not sure if it's true for the whole set of lighter-than-air gasses, but helium is infamously difficult to keep from leaking, even with modern technology.

Good at making gasses behave is a weird choice for ancient technologies we lost.

Too many. I wish Lemmy had post tags, it would make things easier. There are communities I would be interested in, if I had any tools to help see the things I care about.

I'm left with more politics than I'd like, but that's still preferable to anything I block.

Broadly speaking:

Memes Anime, mostly due to all the anime girl communities Sports Foreign language communities if I really can't read anything, or I'm seeing too many posts in a row from them Communities that aren't for memes but that are overrun with them. Sometimes if this is driven by a particular user I might block them instead Communities with porn in the name

What elements that you consider core to the genre is it missing?

And Norway

Vermont's dot representing its capital is very misplaced. It's substantially too far north.

Even for non-niche interests, it was nice to have at least some spaces where memes were against the rules.

Here that's quite rare. It ends up being much more politics heavy, and still with more memes than I'd care to see even with heavy blocking of communities.

Support for tags would help. Or an option to auto collapse comments with inline images.

It's still extremely watchable.

Although if you don't care for Sorkin's dialogue style, it probably won't be for you. As far as politics go, it was a bit of an idealized representation then and it's even moreso now.

They also get more bitter the longer they're cooked. Even with the new variety, I suspect boiling Brussels sprouts might be off the table. Higher temps, or raw (shredded and put in a salad) may get you results you actually like.

Roasting at 230C (450F) for up to about 20 minutes should be good. You may be able to go as high as 260C (500F). If they look slightly burnt when they come out, that's good. The bitter flavors that develop from burning are related to sugars, so brussel sprouts are largely immune.

I didn't have brussel sprouts I liked until the 2010s, but now they're one of my favorites.

There are good sauces you can make from canned tomatoes in 20 minutes (depending on your prep speed).

My go tos are Putanesca & Vodka sauce, but there's a lot more you can do. Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything has a simple recipe and then a big list of variants, most of which can be done in 20 minutes.

I don't know if the same is true in other regions, but of the 4 shows I bought tickets to in the past 2 years, the most expensive were $56 after tax.

Ticketmaster is awful, but I've still been able to find at least some of the shows I want to see at reasonable prices.

Granted these haven't been huge acts, but big enough that I could mention them to certain friends and be reasonably sure they'd know what I was talking about even if we'd never spoken about the band before.

Hot take means something else here. In common usage usually only the first half applies, that is, "piece of deliberately provocative commentary"

It's a motorized wheelchair that takes up twice the space and is way more expensive to build.
