Too bad slightly melt ice cream tastes a lot better. I usually wait 10 minutes in warm weather before eating the ice cream.


I guess they were going for the other 99.999% of the market.


Is American ice cream different from other countries when it comes to melting?

When I carry ice cream in warm weather(Germany) it melts to a puddle in about ~4 minutes.


Having seen Americans discuss food online for years i can't help but think that their processed food make European processed food seem almost farm fresh.


That's somewhat accurate.

But the preference for "melted ice-cream" is clearly an outlier opinion, regardless.


I think that Europeans often have a skewed idea of American food, comparing modern European food to what American food was like 30 years ago. Every major brand of food in the US has been on a continuous cycle of improvement, reducing artificial ingredients and processing, and restaurants have done the same. And it's not like American fast food isn't extremely popular in Europe too.


Something well-frozen will take longer to warm to melting temperature than something that's just below freezing. Maybe that's the difference? Having lived both places (although my time in Germany was almost 20 years ago), I don't remember there being a drastic difference in melting times.


My siblings and I grew up in Las Vegas. We'd always wait until the ice cream turned to "soup" not fully melted, but enough liquidity to easily spoon it into our mouths.


My friend actually microwaves his for a few seconds to get it really creamy. Having it not melt in your mouth is definitely a downside.


Relying on extensions on every browser on every browser I use seems cumbersome? I've unfollowed everything and everyone, and it works on every device without extension. There was a way to batch this.


I actually ran mailbox and fastmail side by side before settling on mailbox. I think the UI is next to flawless. AFAIK they don't work on the UI themselves, they use https://www.open-xchange.com/



> I am also daily reminded of Apple’s wholesale failure to provide consistent and complete documentation of its flagship product.

Well, I'd argue macOS is not their flagship product. Apple makes their money from selling phones these days. I think they have better things to do than to document a marginalized OS.


Last time I checked it wasn't even possible to access messages from the mobile web app. That's why I stopped using Tinfoil for Facebook.

I guess that was a good thing because now I hardly ever check my FB, and if I do it's from desktop.



IPFS would not be considered suitable for digital preservation. Have a look at LOCKSS[1].

Interested in understanding why you think it's not suitable for digital preservation? Feels like something that uses content-addressing and a P2P network is perfect for digital preservation.


In a P2P network the availability/integrity of the archived material depends on storage nodes not under the direct control of the archivist. I might trust a P2P network for content re-distribution, but I wouldn't trust it for long term storage.


You don't have to; If you would be hosting the archived material yourself anyway, there is no negative I can see in doing it through a P2P network. Long-term storage could still depend on you and any other users helping with any of the content for any amount of time would just be a bonus.
