At least they were used incorrectly to be just as unpredictable.

I grew up on the lower end of middle class. Govnment cheese grilled cheese sammies is definitely something I loved eating as a kid. This forced us to be industrious. My parents gardening, did their own DIY home improvements, woodworking, hunting, and more. They weren’t survivalists because of some doomsday shit, but lived this way because we couldn’t afford not to if we wanted to live in a house in a big city suburb in the late 80s & 90s. Over time, my mother took on work utilizing the skills she gained doing the stuff for ourselves and we slowly climbed out of the near poverty life and I was able to have nice things in my teens.

I’m now doing well for myself, solidly middle class in this economy and region. But as things are shifting like crazy around us, I just decided to turn my yard into a garden so I can at least feed myself fresh food if shit becomes unavailable or unsafe to eat. If I have to start hunting again, I will.

I’m not panicking, I’m just going to control what I can, and will do my best to have a good life, and will fight for everybody else to have a chance at a good life too.

As a former permastuff allergy sufferer, I can’t recommend enough trying out triamcinolone (nasacort). I had tried nasal sprays in the 90s and early 2000s without any luck. About 5 or so years ago, my allergist recommend I give it a try again as a lot of formulas have come around since then and could work for me now. I couldn’t believe it, no more permastuffed and there’s smells everywhere. Learned that I love the smell of star jasmine flowers.

For me, a puff in each nostril in the morning and another puff as needed when blowing my nose doesn’t suffice (which is rare) has turned this perma-stuffed allergy sufferer into a not-perma-stuffed person.

Nah, just your typical PhD paleontologist dinosaur nerd. The times they showed that side of Ross was probabaly some of the most realistic moments in the show.

Note: It’s Ukraine, not “the Ukraine”.

Calling it “the Ukraine” is Russian propaganda.

Battlegate Univactica?

I’ve noticed that some of the best enuciators are people that have a lisp and have obviously either taken speech classes or have self taught themselves how to overcome their lisp with better enuciation.

If enough humidity over time gets in there, the salt can start caking and forming larger crystal clumps. However, the salt itself isn’t damaged by that process and will work fine if broken back up and used in the quality you need.

A best by date here would be a notice from the manufacturer that the product should be shelf stable at least that long before “degrading”.

Who’s the one bullying and gatekeeping here?

I’m not a camera nerd either, but I recognize that there’s people that need professional hardware either for a professional use or an obsessive hobby (either photog or other electronics or optics work). If a cell phone is “good enough” for me, that doesn’t mean it’s good for a specialist. Just like pretty much everything else in life.

The only reason I have a frednica is because that’s where I chill and hang out with the Fediverse Chick.

This could be a non-profit funded by participants and government grants.

WebP is an extended container around the RIFF file format, and contains the RIFF header info. So any container that is built off RIFF, or supports RIFF, can at least interpret the container data that is RIFF compatible and will lose anything that has been extended upon.

Depends on what you’re cooking.

For example: I can throw together some pasta and have it be done in 20 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour, 2 hours, or 6 hours. All depending on the type of pasta I’m making, how many people I’m serving, and how complex I want to get and how many layered flavors I’m trying to build or if I want to make my own fresh noodles or use some dried noodles in the pantry.

However, no matter the process I use, at the end I usually only have one pot, serving utensils, and dishes used for the meal. I clean while I cook very effectively, but there are times where timings of cooking techniques prevent that and I’ll have to do some quick cleanup before serving.

I love tacos. I could eat tacos every day and never get tired of them. All varieties are good with me. Corn tortillas, flour tortillas, crispy fried tacos, taquito, even crunchy taco shells. There used to be a dive bar near where I lived in 2015 that would do $5 for 5 beef or bean crunchy tacos with cheese, lettuce, dice tom, and sour cream and I’d easily polish off 10-20 of those with a beer or two (I don’t live near there anymore and the bar closed down right before COVID due to the building be demo’d)

My wife isn’t big on eating the same thing for more than 2 days in a row and I miss the days of eating tacos 4-5 times a week by choice.

You’re not dead inside. You’re living a dream of mine right now.

Fucking necromancers and their black magic.

This is incompetence.

I’ve been in and out of games for my entire career. Every place I’ve been has had strict policies on outside art assets. I’ve even seen every new art asset to require a monthly license review to prevent any chance of outside art having slipped in somehow, including any usage of Blender’s example model Suzanne.

There is no objectivity in taste. Coffee drinking is a spectrum of preferences from flavor profiles delivered by growing, bean blending and roasting practices to acidity, particulate matter, strength, caffeine content, additives (milk/sugar/etc), and other subjectivity.

I personally don’t enjoy most cold brews, or cold coffee in general, as cold coffee tends to allow more fruity flavors come through, which I do not enjoy at all in my coffee experience.

I however, would not turn down a cold brew if that’s all that’s available. I mean, hell, I’ll drink a cup of black from a rundown diner that’s brewed from folgers and been sitting on a hot plate for 30+ minutes. And if that’s somebody’s favorite cup of coffee, I’m not gonna judge them and tell them their coffee is inferior.

Seattle? Sounds like Seattle.

The big problem with modernization of gig work by these companies is that they’re screwing of the gig workers by inserting themselves in the middle and fucking over everybody else involved.

For example: Town car services existed for years before Uber came to the scene. Before Uber you’d have to call a town car service that may be a single person operation, or a small group of people getting together and hiring a calling service.

The idea of the modern, centralized, gig services is not a terrible idea in itself. But running that as a capitalist business is terrible. This is one of those things that should be required to be a government service or a non-profit.
