The key to amazing banana bread is to make it with soft, brown sugar. The stuff that is clumpy, glistening with moisture, reminiscent of molasses. It adds so much to the flavor. And actual nuts, of course.
Didn’t I just say that in the comment you replied to?
Also, ultraprocessed food is a fixed term that refers to
[…] foods […] ready-to-eat or ready-to-heat industrial formulations made mainly with ingredients refined or extracted from foods and contain additives but little to no whole foods.
It’s used as such in studies and reports.
I agree. When I was talking about “processed food”, I was talking about food that has been processed too much, i. e. cooked to oblivion, loaded up with preservatives, artificial flavor, colors etc. to maximize profit by making it last longer, be more attractive / “tasteful” to the point of addiction (think chips) no matter the nutritional value.
Food is of course processed even in the home kitchen, and there are processing methods that are totally fine (let’s say freezing, canning) and that have a long cultural tradition without adverse effects.
However, I think it’s hard to dispute that industrially processed (fast) food, convenience food, snacks, super high calorie foods etc. are a real problem. I honestly also blame e. g. the expectation society has with respect to its workers who can’t necessarily afford (money, time) to regularly prep healthy food at home, given the schedule imposed on them.
Yeah, thanks, that comic was a little too black and white in 50% of the panels - acknowledging women’s rights and their role in society and abolishing child labor doesn’t mean that we did not process the shit out of food and invented the unholiest abominations as substitute for actual nourishment, or that it’s suddenly healthy to live in a concrete block after spending 10 hours in cloned cubicle #7.
3·22 days agoYeah, no lubricants and the look / style factor - that was my conclusion as well.
As for maintenance, while a belt might last 3 times as long, that’s not really a factor, given the price difference between belts and chains.
Exactly, which is why I was trying to think of any actual reasons I might want a belt, except style.
Are there any other reasons I’d want this apart from the lack of oil and the decreased noise levels, the coolness factor and the tinkering itself?
Every single one is a valid reason in itself of course, but maybe there is more.
Granite counter tops also rest on a sturdy base, the caulk used to attach them doesn’t have to resist a lot of force trying to push the slab around, the caulk is mostly there to prevent liquids spilling into the cabinets and to provide a decent appearance. Yes, the caulk also somewhat attaches the slab, but keep in mind how hard it is to move to begin with, given the weight of the counter top.
Here, the weight of the glass door pulls the panel out of the rails via the hinges. Silicone won’t provide a lasting solution.
2·2 months agoYes. You have to go and look for business display panels, e. g. those used for menus in restaurants, fast food chains, display stands etc.
86·2 months agoIf I look at something that I don’t understand but that a large group of people clearly values very highly, trained experts in the field included, my first instinct is not to form a dismissive opinion based on personal preference. I’ll typically try to find whatever is hidden from me upon first glance. You clearly adopted a different strategy.
How did you arrive at the conclusion that your judgement of art is ultimately meaning-, or even insightful?
I wrote some allocators for IBM’s JVM eons ago, I get that. As much as I hate Java, I wish it would be related this time.
Unfortunately, I was talking about the Joe Rogan Experience.
Deezer also doesn’t host JRE and they didn’t provide a platform for literal nazis, so advantages all around.
3·3 months agoI think Fedilab should do both:
1·4 months agoI’m a big fan of archive.org and I regularly look for manuals, but they don’t show up in common searches as a source, so knowing that now is really helpful. Thanks!
I argued that exact same way with someone very close to me. Their answer was:
But those gods aren’t real!
Nothing you can do if that last conclusion isn’t there.
Surely not. But also many employees won’t even ask for it, and change will only happen if people care about it.
So first, raise awareness, and naturally, implement those things at any companies you manage or own.
I’m not saying quit your job and become homeless if your employer won’t corporate with you on the issue. Everyone should think about how this could potentially affect them and what they can do within the constraints they operate in, though.
As someone else in this thread said, a separate (VLAN, guest) network for work devices, reasonable access rules etc. can go a long way. Eventually, I would like this to become unacceptable though.
No, have the company buy a laptop, and if necessary, also have them buy the hardware that allows for proper network separation, if not already available.
Just another thing to be aware of.
