Flambo
this makes me wonder how much longer a towel could be used if it were promptly dried after use, rather than put up on a hook where some of it dries sorta and the rest of it clumps.
even when you are clean from showering, you are still covered in delicious skin, refreshing moisture, and things that thrive in the presence of both.
How many times in U.S. History have the 3rd or 4th options been elected to the office of President? When the answer is zero, how do you count them as options?
You are literally more likely to win the lottery than you are to elect a third party to U.S. President.
plausible: check
testable: TBD
falsifiable: TBD
still, 1 out of 3. not bad!
prices will be raised regardless. record profits? raise prices. record growth? raise prices. cost of production goes down? raise prices.
if you won't deny a thing to someone it's pretty hard to sell it to anyone
Relay or decrentralize it maybe.
The thing I read about this earlier said Signal is super against decentralization iirc. Or at least against federation? Are they different?
no need, i'll simply keep the surplus value of my labor
Hey, I'm fully on board with your defense of social media, but I think in this case the commenter is just saying "i miss the social media we had before they started calling it 'social media'". Even 2004 facebook fits this description, and I'm inclined to agree. I miss social media when it felt more like IRC and craigslist, when facebook was a glorified personal guestbook, etc.
if you ever feel so inclined, all you need to make your own tortillas at home is:
-
masa flour aka specially treated corn flour
-
a stovetop and a pan for cooking
-
a plastic food storage bag
-
something with a flat bottom, ideally transparent
-
water
the bag of flour typically has instructions for how much flour and water to mix. you can mix it by hand and form it into balls by hand. the size of the balls only matters if you care about the tortillas being "the right size".
From there, you press a ball flat, toss it on an already hot pan over medium heat, flip it after a couple of minutes, and remove it after a minute more. to press the ball flat, place it under your flat-bottomed transparent thing and mash on it until it looks tortilla-shaped enough for you.
the plastic food storage bag is optional/recommended to stop the tortilla balls sticking when you press them. cut the food storage bag open along its seams and remove its zipper if it has one. what you have left is a single sheet of plastic with a seam/hinge in the middle.
it might be sounding like a lot but it's really just:
-
mix flour into wet balls
-
mash flour in your "press" made of random flat dishes and a plastic bag
-
cook the thing a little
-
eat
if you iterate on those 4 steps a dozen times, you'll be out like 50 cents of flour and you'll have produced at least one satisfactory tortilla. and it'll be so, so much better than store bought, you'll think about it every time you have store bought tortillas therafter.
This is really a both-sides situation.
Hamas isn't Palestine. Israeli gov isn't Israel.
When you make simple distinctions like this, things get less complicated.
