You can put them in between 2 bowls with their (the bowls) rims against each other to create an oblate spheroid-ish thing, then shake it real hard for a few minutes. It should remove the shell pretty eaily, if loudly.

Edit: Sorry, turns out, that's garlic cloves. Shrimp peeling is really only easier raw. You can rip the legs off and just give a squeeze and it'll pop out of the shell. In my experience, once they're cooked the shell will break up much easier. As someone else said, a stock is your best bet if you really want to avoid peeling. I mean, technically you can eat the shell if you make sure to grind them up completely when you puree them. I've never tried anything with the shell still included, so I can't speak for the taste, but you could try a bisque if you're dead set on not peeling.

It was a thing, in a localized area of an infinitely small point, that also was everywhere that existed... I think. I'm not a big bang-ologist, I'm more of a small bang-ologist so my understanding may be flawed.

I believe at least 1 or 2 of them said specifically their goal was to take all his money to remove his ability to create further harmful content.

What were you saying then? What was your point of saying "not always the case."?

So we're protecting the system against the outliers? So we're blocking naturally muscular or otherwise more athletic cis girls from playing? Really tall basketball players? Runners who are just naturally faster? How do you judge they fall too far outside the median range?

Or have you given this no thought and you just think boy things are for boys and girl things for girls and you stopped learning at age 3?

I don't know that you need a semicolon but you could definitely use one, and that would probably be the best way. Semicolons are for when two complete sentences are related. But they can still be formatted as two sentences, or even the same sentence with a comma. Many sentences contain parts that could be standalone sentences. But reading back over the original sentence again I would probably say it can just be rewritten to be more straightforward.

"Another aspect to this video is that Somerset, when actually trying to write some of the material himself, produced complete garbage."

Mostly I've just been reading a lot of philosophy recently which tends to run on a long and complex sentence structure that's unnecessary and could be a lot simpler, so this kind of thing has been at the front of my mind lately. That's probably the only reason I even noticed in the first place.

I have no issue with the content provided, but I wanted to give a little constructive criticism on the structure of your writing. Real small. When you say,

There was another aspect to this video, which was that when Somerset actually...

When you say there is a thing, the reader is going to assume the next thing you write to be that thing. So you don't need the "which is that." You can just launch right into what you're going to say, you already set it up. You basically said "I have a thing to say. The thing I have to say is this:"

Everything else is informative and well presented. No other notes.

I did not! I definitely intended to respond to you implying there's nothing wrong with parents using their influence to help their child.

Fuck that nonsense. This is the same mindset as every poor person who thinks of themselves as a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire." You say it with the assumption that you're somewhere in that equation and don't give a shit about any kind of equality. That's selfish as shit. You phrase it like they should be stopped from helping to make sure their kids are still fed while off at college or some shit, but we're talking about millionaires helping their millionaire children also maintain their millionaire lifestyle by leveraging their brand to possibly get a role someone without famous parents could use to fucking survive. I don't care how able he is to do a good job, it's bullshit to pretend he actually deserves it because his parents really feel like he should.

I'm gonna disagree with you on that one, Hoss. It's definitely a problem.

The way I remember that Affect is active. You affect things. Effect is passive, and is the result of something. Affect is a verb (and I think sometimes can be a descriptor). Effect is always a noun. So you can have the resulting effect of an experiment, but if you mess with some variables, you have affected the effect.

Though, in this case, you're turning the noun into a verb, so you could make the case for either use I think. If you hyphenate it though you can leave it as is without thought. "Streisand-effecting.

Years ago I had a CEO of the company I worked at make a similar comment; "affect/effect. No one really knows which one to use." So my contrarian, anti-authority ass just looked it up right then and decided to always know.
