It's poor UI but also I think it's a sign that the userbase has been coddled too much with things like this. Even Google adding the search bar widget to their homescreen of Android is kind of an illusion since it doesn't need to be shaped that way. But an entire generation has been programmed to type into a little empty field with a search button that they don't think of alternatives anymore.

Windows 8 thru 11 are trying to add sleeker and more intuitive interface skins to be more usable for the masses but the underlying OS is still the same. Accessing additional options that a legacy Windows user uses all the time just takes you back to the old menus. It feels so lazy that each major windows iteration feels like a new skin on top of windows xp/2000 because not much really has changed since then other than the bloat and a few cute features that could've been done with a 3rd party app.

Obviously being a little reductive here but with how windows 11 looks, I would've imagined it being actually different. But as soon as I right click something and view more options, it's clear it's still the same stuff once the old right click menu pops up from underneath.

The collision itself will generate heat. And a super continent with less water will also absorb more heat energy without having water near its center.

When the tectonic plates collide again to form another supercontinent, it will create enough heat to kill off most, if not all, mammals. And it will happen before the sun destroys everything, probably in around 250 million years or so.

Many people never matured beyond high school.

"You didn't bring back the real Jesus. This is a false flag. Jesus was a Soros plant and not the same savior mentioned in the Bible." Is probably what people will say if you did the former.

Except they shed micro plastics everywhere including the water supply.

If I actually wanted to make an event out of it and didn't have plans for Sunday, then the classic Sunday meal prep strategy applies.

But many times, I also feel lazy or have stuff going on so I try to find one day in the week where I can cook some type of larger effort item that takes more than a couple hours and do the rest on other days. Mind you, I live alone so YMMV. But for example, I could spend one day with the high effort portion of a main dish. This would classically be some type of protein but I don't always want to limit myself to that mentality. Just anything that I'd be most excited to eat.

If I don't have the time to make any other sides, I won't. I'll have a partial meal that day and do other stuff while I put the rest in the fridge. Then the next day I'll cook a different side or two. If I do it right, I'll have a rotating menu of options in the fridge where I cook new dishes to replenish ones that are about to be gone.

This way, I don't need to dedicate a whole day to cooking, and I can still have fun with cooking in smaller portions and still have the evening to do other things. My meals can also be a mix of various sides which can stagger. This is not always the case as I do find myself just clearing things out frequently to start from a fresh palette of foods. But just a different take on the meal prep that I personally find is manageable.

I've been to Portland, ME a few times for vacation and one time a few of us decided to bike everywhere. Couldn't go car free since our hotel was a bit far away, but once we parked, it was bikes all day. There wasn't a ton about Portland that made it stand out in terms of places you can't find in other towns, but the ability to ride around to all those places made the difference between a vacation destination and just a thing to do for a weekend.

To have the same experience in terms of types of places to visit in a day my area would require driving 10-20 minutes between each spot which definitely takes the winds out of the sails for trying to enjoy yourself.
