Thanks, this is a good tip and not the first time I’ve seen it, but despite being a pretty decent cook, meal prepping for the week has never been my thing. Maybe it’s time to turn a new leaf though.
I’m a sandwich fiend too, with tastes similar to yours. In the pursuit of ever-increasing dullness, I’ve been trying to get away from eating nitrates every single day, and damned if all the grocery store brands of lunch meat aren’t packed with ‘em. Even the ones that say “no nitrates added” have an asterisk where they explain that yes, they do have added nitrates, but they’re produced the natural way, by putting celery sticks in particle accelerators.
Costco has deli-sliced turkey that fits the bill, but the sandwich doesn’t come out the same. It’s a different sandwich, really.
I may have to give up on nitrate avoidance. One person can only be expected to do so much.

One of my best friends in high school was a Norwegian exchange student. He was easygoing and smart and we rode the bus together because his host family lived nearby. Some of the funniest conversations of my life happened on those bus rides.
When he went back to Norway we lost touch. I think it must have been difficult for him to be here—the isolation, the culture shock, the language barrier, I can only imagine. Maybe it was a relief to leave our little town in the rearview mirror. But I’m forever glad I met him.
This is a great concept. I hope it catches on.
I participate in a pledge called #50forFOSS. On the first Friday of every month, I choose an open source project and give the maintainer $50, no strings attached. It lets me target small projects that may not have a lot of users, but are valuable to me, as well as bigger ones with more expenses. My mindset these days is that I need to insist on paying for the software I use, because if I don’t, someone else will (i.e. advertisers and venture capitalists, which is bad) or no one else will (i.e. abandonware, which is worse).
Disclaimer: I started #50forFOSS and there’s a very small group of us who are doing it.
Mine is yeast, but if Chonkus saves us all I guess it can have second place
Only for the floors that are labeled correctly, though.

The Crowdstrike is a kernel-space app that

Crowdstrike! Baby Crowdstrike!

Back during the real estate frenzy of the late 2010s I would get calls all the time asking how much I would sell my house for. I’d say “I could probably let it go for 2 million dollars.” (Even at the ridiculous peak, it was never worth more than 750k.) There would be a few seconds of silence on the line while they actually looked up my house. Then they’d say “oh.” And hang up as fast as humanly possible.
Holy butts, why has no one ever said this sentence to me before
